My Little Helper

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I know I am the worst blogger of all. Forgive me for that... I can't find a time to scrap with my busy schedule. It's good that my boss gave me 3 off days... yippeee!!!

Without further ado, I made this layout for Scrapilly Ever After. She-She is so good to send us a kit. Yeah, she send us all a kit to make a layout out of it. I just received mine on the 24th and I am suppose to send it on the 25th... yeah I know that's a pretty tough time to make. I am just lucky that 25th-27th are my off days. So here it is now... :)

Celebrate

Just want to share this layout I made for Johanne while playing piano at his tita's house in the Philippines. The photo was taken on a summer and not Christmas. I just thought of making it a Christmas layout for no reason... It's just how I like it to be...



This is the first time I used a paperclip on a layout. The paperclip is in a form of cloud :D

Only today, that I have some free time that I am able to sit on the floor, scatter my things and had a blast crafting. Yes, I had a blast for I did 5 projects today. 2 layouts, 2 cards and 1 altered art. I really had fun doing all those stuffs.

Dream- card

I was inspired to do this card with Kaiser challenge board. In a board posted by a designer, she put a lot of photos there and scatter buttons and ribbons on a board. I saw this lady in one of the photos wearing this beautiful dress. From those things, I've decided that I wanted to make this one.

Bling it on at the Shoe

Ok, I know I'd been a very bad blogger for the past month. But I just got this awesome job and I am not very good at time planning. And there are times that I have to go home like 12:30 am...whew! It's been a very busy month for me and for the months to come so hope you guys bare with me on this. I will try my best to post at least once a week and even more than that if my time would allow it.

Well, just want to share this card I made for If the Shoe Fits Scrap it. The theme is about using lots of blings on any project. This is a very simple card but honestly, I love the simplicity of it.

Sweet.. box!

Material used:
Box of Chocolate
sticker glitter heart - Making Memories
cut-out flowers - three bugs in a rug
tag - three bugs in a rug
swirl wood - kaiser
white paint
3 buttons
3 brads
lace ribbon

Instruction:
Since I am lucky to have this beautiful box of chocolate with red and bronze(brown) color I just add on some touches on it.

1) I cut my ribbon lace into half (middle section)
2) stick it on both sides of the border (bronze)
3) cut out the flowers
4) stick the tag onto the part of the box that have letters on it
5) attached the 2 flowers and stick the heart with sweet letter on the middle of the tag
6) I painted the swirl wood with white, let it dry.
7) I took off the tail of the brads and put 3d dots at the back and stick it on the buttons.
8) I positioned to stick the wood and buttons with brads on it to the box.

TFL!

Happy World Card Making Day!

Today, we are celebrating World Card Making Day! I really don't have much time to do my crafts so I only managed to make these 3 cards. Hopefully I can add up some more after my work which I will be sure once I am back home, I will be too tired to do something... but still praying that I have enough energy to add up even just one.

Yesterday, October 1 was Children's day so my Johanne don't have school. Good thing it was also my day off from work. We went to Parkway Parade to eat our lunch...chicken rice as always, hahaha! After eating, we went to Marks and Spencer to buy our cookies and candies. Then we went straight back home and start munching our yummy goodies. While Johanne is having fun munching I remember that Sketchy Thursday have a second chance challenge on their blog and quickly grab the camera and took photo of Johanne and the candies. And this how it turned out. Thank you guys for looking!

Think

Be inspired by hopping at MOJO Monday 104 where you can have a lovely idea every Monday for a new sketch for your card. And if you are looking for what color to use for the card, why not drop by at SPCC #15... I surely have fun playing on this both amazing sites and combining the challenges.



If you're wondering why I put Think as my sentiment, it is because inside you can always put----of me...because I am thinking of you. :D

Nursery 1

Time flies really fast. It was just like yesterday when I held Johanne in my arms and cannot even talk or walk. And it is also just like yesterday when it was me who's studying. But now, It is him. I can't believe that he is already Nursery 2. {I love you my baby... I know you don't want me to call you baby but you will always be my baby no matter what...ok?}

I made this layout for American Crafts Back to School challenge.

I love these photos because it was taken on Johanne's 3rd Birthday. Yes, it was his 3rd birthday and I still let him go to school. But we surprise him by going in his school in the afternoon with a cake.
