Divalicious Christmas in July Blog Hop

As I mentioned in a previous post, the Creative Scrapbooking Divas had a Divalicious Xmas in July Blog Hop last weekend. I really enjoyed hoping thru all the Divas' blogs and seeing their xmas project ideas!

Unfortunately, I couldn't do some of them due to lack of resources.. So for my xmas project, I just plan to start creating my xmas cards this July. I want to create cards for my family and friends this xmas for a change, instead of just buying from a bookstore..:P

Here's a few I was able to start with:

These will be my "generic" cards, which will be mass produced and given to my colleagues and friends..

For my family and close friends, I plan to create a different one for each of them..:) I was able to finish one. Since I couldn't create a real banner like in Diva Jessica's blog, I decided to just use the banner concept in my card. This one I'll give to one of my close friends:



More to come, of course. I'll be updating this blog and posting the pics as I finish them.. ;)

Thanks for visiting and happy viewing!:)

Color Your World - Blog Candy!

While doing Ellephantastic's Blog Hop, I discovered this site: She Stamps by Cheryl.. And she's giving out a candy!!! I really really really wish I get to win this! I've been dreaming of having copic markers since I learned about it.. Unfortunately, can't find anyone selling it here in Singapore.. and I can't afford to buy and have it shipped from the US..

Anyway, here's the candy she's giving out!:)

Do visit her site, you have 'til August 1 for a chance to win this candy!:)

Happy birthday, Mom!

It is my mom's birthday this July 19, and I thought of making a birthday card for her for a change..:P And here's what I came up with:

It's the first time I made a "Center Step" card.. Got the idea from a challenge at Colorful Creations.

Challenges:

• Colorful Creations - like I said the "Center Step" card idea came from CC. Must also have a flower or a heart and a sentiment in the card.
  
• Picture Perfect Creations - PPC#64 - color combo
• Digi Doodle Best - #65: Anything Goes
• Allsorts - Week 110: Free and Easy
• Ellephantastic - July Challenge: Celebrations
• Color Throwdown - #149 color combo
  

Thanks for dropping by and hope you guys like my card!:)

A first for my baby

My first LO for my baby Toby! He was born last May 15 and I just can't wait to scrap with him as my subject.. Unfortunately, didn't know newborns take most of your time.. ahaha!! I thought I'll have a lot of time to scrap.. ;)

Anyways, glad I was able to finish one though..:)


Here's a close up of my journal:

Challenges:

• Scrap it with a Song: Lady Gaga's Just Dance - I used part of the lyrics in my journaling - "stay and let me watch you".
• Colorful Creations - Inspired by the colors in the picture given
  
• Sketchy Thursdays - I used the 1st (left) part of the sketch
  

Hope you guys like it!:)
