My Bridal Walk

I made this layout for Creative Scrappers.. Got really inspired to try out their sketch from the samples at their site! Here's Creative Scrappers' sketch#98: (in case the picture doesn't show up, just click on the link)

And here's my take on the sketch:



The picture was taken during my bridal walk down the isle last December...:) I chose the song "From This Moment On" by Shania Twain for my bridal walk song.. I just love its lyrics... and having a duet version with Bryan White just makes it perfect (i loooove duets!)!:) Blue is also our main wedding color..:)

More info:
Wedding photographer: Paul Vincent
Title: From This Moment...
Journal: (my fave parts of the song)

...you are the one... You and I will never be apart...
You're the reason I believe in love...
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above...
...I will love you as long as I live...
From this moment on...

Hope you like it!:) Thanks for looking!:)

The Ugly Duckling

Yes, this LO I made is like the "ugly duckling".. It started as part of a challenge at the Creative Divas' site called Ugly Paper Layout Challenge, where participants will send 2 of their ugliest papers to another person... then that person is supposed to create a layout using only those papers.. and here are the papers I got:

I honestly feel I got lucky with mine.. haha!! at least they match..;) They just looked "stained", which I was told by the sender was supposed to give the papers an "antique" feel.. Guess that's part of the reason why she felt they were ugly! hehe!

And then, hubby and I are currently studying strobing.. and we sometimes practice taking pictures of things.. then I thought of another challenge (still from Creative Divas) where it asks us to include in our LO ALL the 26 letters of the alphabet.. so I thought of taking this picture:

And of course, as always, the beautiful layout from Sketchy Thursdays: (unfortunately, I wasn't able to submit this at Sketchy Thurs, on time..:( I dunno what's with me lately, I seem to have lost my sense of time..:-S)

And so, combining everything... here's my layout:


Talk about turning trash into something, huh?..;) To compliment those "stained" markings on the papers (which is more evident on the blue striped paper), I decided to try the distressing technique for the first time..:P It made that second paper pop out in my opinion.. and then luckily, the blue gel we used to take that strobe shot perfectly matched my papers!:) Love how they all came together really well...:)

Hope you like it!:) and thanks for looking!:)

Update (March 22): My LO was chosen as the winner for the OhScrap!!!!~Use ALL 26 Letters of the Alphabet Challenge at the CSD!!:) I don't think I won any prize, but just being named the winner and having someone appreciate what I've done is already a great honor for a beginner like me...;) Happy happy!:)

Photobooth

I'm so happy to be able to finish my first 12x12 LO for the year! It's for Sketchy Thursdays' "Vintage" sketch: (photo of the sketch taken from Sketchy Thursdays)

And here's my take on the sketch, I hope it's "vintage" enough for the challenge..;)


Title: Photobooth
Journal: "Our first photobooth experience was at our wedding! We enjoyed fooling around & posing for the camera!=) My only regret is that we weren't able to take as much pictures as I wanted.. Was just too tired already.. Hehe! But it was surely a fun, fun, FUN experience!!:)"

Picture on the right is a closer view of our pictures and the materials I used for the LO..

Thanks for looking! Your comments are welcome!:)

Live. Love. Laugh. (Sketchy Thursdays)

I made this layout last week for my friend Escie, who's getting married this October. The pictures I used are from her engagement shoot with Redefine Weddings.

I'm super happy with this layout.. It's actually the 2nd real layout I'm able to share with everyone!:) Hope you guys like it..:">

This is also the 1st time I'm joining a scrapbook challenge, and I love how my layout was sooo timely for Sketchy Thursdays' challenge for this week! So here's my take on this week's challenge:

My 1st ever finished layout!

As usual, it's my fiance that inspires me to actually finish something... ahahaha!! I already started 2 scrapbook layouts like a few months ago, but I haven't finished them yet.. there just seem like something else I could add in it for me to be ok with it.. ehehehe!!

But this week, I finshed my 1st ever real layout (since I've already done several digital ones) in like 2 days..;) It was my fiance's birthday, so I wanted to give him this to put in his office cubicle..:)


The pictures are from the engagement (/Trash-the-Dress) shoot we just had last Aug. 11 at Hamilo Coast, Nasugbu Batangas.

More pictures from the engagement shoot here.
