No Internet = Productive Scrapping

Our Internet connection was very slow during the late afternoon. Since I was feeling creative (!), I decided to use the computer time to scrap and came out with two layouts which are very different stylewise.


Here is the first one, which is more my usual style:

I've been seeing a lot of beautiful art journals on Pinterest, and I wanted to try to emulate the style. I also wanted to practice blending photos into the background, which is not something you could do with traditional paper scrapbooking. Here is the result:

All in all, a productive afternoon!

Late Post! My Mini-Album Christmas Gift

I nearly forgot to post about these! I found the instructions for making these 3x3 inch mini-albums on the YouTube channel of  and decided to try my hand at them.


Here are Tracy's video tutorials:





This is what I came up with. I used a blue ribbon to tie the albums closed.
 These are the tags:
 Some of the brads and stickers.
 I just had to use a silvery metallic pen. I love metallic pens. If I could use them for signing papers at work, I would.

Prom

This is Lorie's kit, Close to My Heart. It is perfect for Valentine's Day and other layouts about love.



February is also prom season here in the Philippines. I was with my friends Shalum, Janice and Mark waiting for a play to start when we caught sight of a couple ready for their high school prom. I snapped a picture, and thought it was perfect for this kit.
