Love flowers!

As a scrapbooker, one thing I can't scrap without is flower. I always love to put flowers on my layout. It may be a cut out or 3D type. There's got to be a flower on it. I don't know why but it is a challenge for me when I have to scrap without it. It would take me hours thinking of what to do without it. Flower makes my life easy when scrapping. I feel like giving life on my layout whenever I would put flowers on it. Ok so much of the flower talk. I just want to share some layouts, as usual with flowers! TFL!

Christmas Memories

One of my unforgettable Christmas was last 2010. We were able to celebrate it with friends, we did some exchange gifts and we really had fun. With all the noise that surrounding us that day, my boy was just so busy playing his dad's iphone...what a busy dude! When we got home, we opened our presents for each other and my husband gave me a gorgeous LV bag!!! Isn't that wonderful? And last of course, God bless us with wonderful year.

Anyways, I want to share a layout I made using the photo that my hubby took when I opened his present to me. I used once again the My Mind's Eye sketch for this September.

Below are the 2 layouts I made.

Bad, good and a project!

As always, I'd been a very bad blogger. It's been a very busy year for me. A lot of things happened, good and bad. I've never been tired in my life! There were a lot of happenings at work, my dad passed away, I'd been very sickly myself so as my little boy. Even my husband had been very busy and tired from his new company. Ok, enough for the bad things. Let's have something to smile about. I'd been consistent "winner" at PRIMA! Yes! Jan, Feb, Mar, May, June, July... my layouts were featured at their site and April, was my month... I won the April BAP. It was such a great experience for I've never won before. Me and my hubby had been having lunch together most of the time which was so great. We've been watching movies at the cinema together and what's more??? Johanne's starting to enjoy watching with us too. Oh, and tomorrow is Johanne's 6th birthday and we will celebrate it at the Zoo. Not a big one though just a simple family day out :)Hmmm, what else is there for me to share??? Ok, I promise that I would give myself time to visit or share something on my blog at least twice a month. I need to have discipline on this one so I am starting now.

I would like to share with you all a little project I made 2 weeks ago. I use this one to submit at PRIMA's August PPP. Hope you will all like it as much as I do.

Dream Big

It's already March 2011 and it was July 2010 when I last posted something here on my blog. It sure is a long time. So, what made me post something today after that loooong months of not posting? Well, I happened to visit BO Bunny site and found that they are having a challenge. Yeah, that's right... a Challenge! And you guys know how I love to join challenges. It's called Layout Challenge Friday. The challenge is to tell something about yourself that they don't know. Easy peasy, right?

Here's my take:

(Materials used: Patterned paper- BO Bunny Gabrielle, Stickers-BO Bunny Ad Lib combo stickers, Ink-Ranger Distress Ink, Cardstock-American Crafts, Adhesive-Beacon 3in1)

Something that they don't know about me is I'd been wanting to be a model since I was a kid. The thing is, there's no way that with a height of 4'11" will ever become a model. Sad but true... but God is good all the time and he gave me a husband who loves photography! And that made me his in-house model :)
