Hello everyone! Lorie gave me a very special kit to work with - this is a collaboration kit called "Miracle of Life" that she worked on with Mye de Leon and Armina Designs. This is primarily a pregnancy kit, but with the numerous elements, it can be adapted for other layouts as well. When I got the kit, my co-worker Rose had just found out she was pregnant, so I made a layout of the pregnancy

Happy New Year, everybody! New year means new kit! Lorie has one called Cherish, and I used it to make my first layout for 2011.

This year, we had our yearender at one of the Italian restaurants here in town. The photo was

One of the items on my to-do list is a photobook dedicated to my Dad's memory. At first I wanted to do one by Christmas, but with my work schedule, I am not sure if I will be able to finish by December. At any rate, I'm going to try my darnedest to complete one, if not by December then at least before Mother's Day! That should be enough time. LOL... This is the first page I completed. I scanned

LorieM Designs has just released a yummy new kit that is perfect for scrapping those beat-the-heat cool summer treats like ice cream, watermelon, etc. Here are two layouts I made with this kit: Sandy and her ice cream coneShalum and her berry trifle For the second layout, I used a template from Lorie's Cool and Easy sketch template pack.

Hello! It's been over a month since I've last posted. I've been remiss, but I mean to remedy that right away. Here are the layouts that I've been hiding away in my hard drive the past month. This is Blissful Moments, a kit by Armina Designs and Creations by Rachael. I used it to make a beach-inspired layout for the 8th monthsary of my friend Will and his partner: Next up is a kit by LorieM

LorieM Designs has a new store at Scrapbook Bytes, and here is one of her offerings:This is "Giggle Together". The pop of red certainly livens up the cool greens and blues! I found that it works well with masculine layouts, like below. My nephew Nathan loves the camera. But at barely a year old, his attention span is really short, so getting him to smile takes some creativity. In this layout, you

Wengie and Charles' baby Bea joined the Christian world last December. LorieM's new kit, Special Day, was perfect for scrapping these wonderful moments.

No problem since the kit can go with wacky pictures or even those about stretching the imagination. Here is my layout. I used pictures from my birthday celebration last year. I thought the photos went well with the kit since the huge pizza

Not to be left out, Lorie also made another kit for the little men in your lives. Here is Buddies, a kit just right for boys: Buddies Paper Packavailable at Gottapixel Buddies Element Packavailable at Gottapixel Need I mention that she hand-drew several of the elements herself? Look at those rollerskates, the car and some of the wordart. They look like real crayon drawings! And here is my layout

Lorie came up with two kits, one for girls and one for the boys. First up is the Girlfriends kit: Girlfriends Paper Packavailable at Gottapixel Girlfriends Element Packavailable at Gottapixel And here is my layout using the Girlfriends Kit:That's me, Shalum and Janice baking at Bang's house.

Lorie has a very pretty new kit called Everyday Inspirations: I thought that the browns and greens in the kit were perfect for the pictures I took in Bukidnon of Weng's nieces and nephew. You can get Everyday Inspirations at Pickleberrypop, Gottapixel and Scrappindigikreations.

Mini kits are fun since they only have a few elements. For someone who's as fickle as I am, they can be a huge time-saver during those times when I'm in a rush! Here are a couple of layouts made with mini kits both by LorieM Designs: credits: Just Because Mini Kit credits: Natural Beauty Mini Kit

It's been a while since I've made a personal layout, and this time it's a scraplift. I saw this layout called Victoria 1 by Krisleah2009: I wanted to replicate the black, brown, green and white color scheme. To do this, I used papers and elements from several different kits (again something I haven't done in some time.) Taking inspiration from the colors in KrisLeah2009's layout, I came up with

Lorie has a new kit called Moment by Moment. It's an earthy kit full of browns and greens. This is my officemate Emmie Lou. We often call her "Bata" or "child" not just because she's one of the youngest in the office but also because she's small in stature. credits: Moment by Moment Elements and Papers by LorieM Designs

Janice will be leaving soon to work in New York, and while I am happy for the opportunity that was presented to her, it's always sad to have a friend move away.

The nice thing about having close friends is that I love making them cry. Seriously. But in a good way. ;-) After I made the calendar for my parents, I used the same template to scrap photos of my friends Shalum and Janice, even a few old photos from high school! I also took time to look for quotes that would have meaning, especially during their birth months. Jan loves Chow Yun Fat and

Happy New Year, everybody! How were your holidays? Mine was quite hectic, so it's only now that I got a chance to post. I made a 2010 calendar for my parents as their Christmas gift this year. I found a calendar photo frame at Robinson's Department Store. They had 13 pages, enough for a cover page and the 12 months, and could fit a 4R size photo (4x6 inches). I made my own template and

Lorie has made not one, but two fabulous Christmas kits this year! After Christmas Cuddles, she came out with Christmas Angels: And here is my layout - it's Nathan's first Christmas! The very morning my brother, Pearl and baby Nathan arrived from Cebu, we plopped him on my mom's Christmas pillow so Tita Gwacie could have a photoshoot. Good thing the little darling cooperated! credits: Christmas

LorieM Designs has a new minikit called Twogether with shades of black and white and touches of pink. I thought I could use it for the tree planting pictures. Last November my officemates organized a tree planting activity at the Calaanan Creek. On January this year, floodwaters washed away a lot of the young trees previously planted along its banks, so we were going to add some more. We worked

Last year, I made two Christmas layouts of my family, one from when my brother and I were little, and another using photos of that year. This year, we have two new additions to the family - Pearl and Nathan, and I managed to badger everyone to pose for our first Christmas as a bigger family. I couldn't help thinking at the back of my mind: "I need this for scrapping!" hahaha... Christmas 2009

No, I do not speak French, so I had a tough time with this one-kit Guest CT layout for Douceur des Fetes by Mimi69. It's one of the most difficult CT layouts I've done because the designer only speaks French! Nosebleed... but worth it because her kit is just beautiful! Here is my layout.

December is just around the corner, and that means it's nearly Christmas! Here at home we're having an early Christmas since my brother, Pearl and baby Nathan are home. Our Christmas decor are already up. In time for the holidays, LorieM Designs has a new kit called Christmas Cuddles. It's made with traditional Christmas reds and greens with some yellow tossed in as well. Here are my

LorieM Designs has an adorable new kit called "Heartfelt", and I loved it right away because it has two of my favorite colors - blue and purple. The funny thing is that neither of my layouts from the kit uses a blue background! The Heartfelt collection is available here: Element Pack | Paper Pack | Add On Mini Kit | Bragbooks

This is Mikki on her way to the Halloween Party.I took some liberties with the wordart.

After climbing all those stairs in the heat, Jan and I went off in search of water while Bang discussed some things with his workers.

When Janice asked me to help scrap a baby book she would be giving as a baptism present to her friend Cindy, I was intimidated. I'm a digiscrapper, and the last time we tried paper scrapping, I couldn't even apply a sticker straight! But it's fun so I decided to take the challenge. We spent the whole evening scrapping after fortifying ourselves with comfort food (i.e. cheeseburgers and Twister

Lorie has a new kit over at Gotta Pixel called Fun Ride. This is a cute, grungy kit that can lend itself to many purposes. Since my computer was busted at the time I was making the LO, I couldn't scan the old picture of my brother playing with his cars, which was my original idea. Instead, I made do with a picture of our road trip last year to Iligan and Ozamiz cities. See? It's versatile!credits

Today is the funeral of Philippine President Corazon Aquino. As I was scrapping this, I was watching coverage on television.While I was too young to remember the events leading up to the People Power Revolution in 1986, the media coverage over the past week has enlightened me as to just how instrumental Aquino was in bringing back freedom to our country. I hope that we will never forget the

One of my pet peeves about kits meant for heritage layouts is that they're so BROWN. Nothing wrong with that since it's a vintage look, but all the browns and beiges can get rather monotonous. So when I decided to scrap an old family photo, I thought that this kit with not just browns, but pops of bright pinks and orange, would make it a bit different.credits: Amor Amor by Pat

Golly, with everything that's been going on at work (plus Farm Town and Yoville!) I haven't been scrapping much. Here's my latest layout, which I finished just this evening:This is my nephew Nathan, who's now one month old! Look at those chubby cheeks! Isn't he sweet?credits: Angel's Touch by LorieM Designs (I recolored the background paper from pink to blue since he's a boy.)

Greggy and Pearl have been calling Nathan "our little angel", and I thought that would be a great title for my next layout. Here it is!I used Fresh Morning Smile, a new kit by LorieM Designs.

journaling reads: There are so many times that I feel unsure of myself. My insecurity has been the root of many of my problems - problems that, in fact, are of my own making. If only I could overcome it! I have so many things going in my favor. I have a loving family and loyal friends. I’m not bad looking. I’m tall. I’m smart. I’ve just been promoted. But sometimes I tend to forget all of these

Ate Jig loved the Camiguin layout I did for Ate Cheng, so Weng sent me some photos of Ate Jig's family. It was the perfect timing, since Lorie came up with a new collaboration kit with Miss Tiina and Isabel Mendez called Play Park: I think the colors and elements are just right for these photos:TrinityFamily Funcredits: Play Park Collaboration kit by LorieM Designs, Miss Tiina and Crisdam

Last year, I spent Easter with high school classmates in Camiguin, and we watched the sun rise over White Island on Easter morning. This year, we weren't able to repeat that trip.Then Weng asked me to scrap a photo of her older sister into a 5R (5x7 inches) size, I asked her to send it over to me so I could see what I could do. It's a wonderful picture - Ate Cheng in White Island, Camiguin! Ate

I was going thru The Happy Place thread over at the DST forum and clapped my eyes on this striking kit, Black & White! As soon as I saw that dragonfly charm, I kept my fingers crossed that I'd get it, and finally I got a PM from Ninie45300 that I won!This is my first time to try out a kit that's mostly in black and white (with some greenery) so it was a bit of a challenge, but I like what I came

I admit that I have trouble doing boyish, manly layouts, masculine layouts. My solution is usually to go minimalist and avoid flowers and ribbons, although with very little boys, it's still okay to go a little cute-sy.Aimee came back with a new kit, Rafael, and while my first reaction upon seeing the preview was a big "uh-oh!" it was the perfect challenge for me.GreggyThis is my brother during

When Lorie mentioned that her new collaboration kit would have a wedding motif, I was excited. I had several of my friends' wedding photos that I'd been wanting to scrap, and this was the perfect chance.First on the list was Shalum, who had the unhappy experience of the wedding photographer losing her pictures and photo book file when their computer was reformatted.

This would seem like a flashback to college - but it only happened last week! My college friends and I get together every year for a post-Christmas reunion, and this year we had the bright idea of reviving our old card game, 1-2-3 Pass!It's a pretty simple game. Since there were four of us, we picked four cards (the Aces, Kings, Queens and Jacks) from all the suits. If there were more players,
