Holidays 2013.

Good Sunday morning, everyone!

I hope you all had the Merriest of Christmas! We had a nice Holiday that started off on Christmas Eve when we went to the children's mass at our church. We, then, headed to my parents' where the rest of my cousins and aunts/ uncles got together. It's tradition for our family to get together on the night before Xmas and have a big party. There were lots of wonderful Filipino food, and catching up. It wouldn't be a party without picture taking of course! And then, we stay up till close to midnight and pass out presents. We open them up right then and there and just bask in the warmth of family and bonding!

Hopefully, I get to blog in a little bit and post some pics of our Christmas. For now, though, I have a project to show you featuring a Time for Tea Designs' digi image (Princess). She is so pretty and regal, so I wanted to make her into a special gift card holder for one of my loved ones. I paired her together with some of Tina Azmus' Holiday kit goodies.



Ok, gotta go since I've got lots to do!!

Anything Christmas at Milk Coffee!

Hello!! And welcome to Milk Coffee's Anything Christmas Challenge.

I went pretty traditional with the colors -- green, red, brown tones. But I went with a fairy tale theme again -- this time with the digi, Tiffany as Snow White. We were given this image in the beginning of the term, and I've been dying to use her! Thought she'd be perfect for a Holiday card.



My favorite Holiday line this year was from Glitz Designs. Love the modern vibe with traditional aspects. The graphic component is also very strong -- hello, woodgrain deer! You are perfect with my Snow White theme!! **swoooooon**

I hope you all play along. You have until 8pm EST on January 1st or 8am January 2nd in West Indonesia, depending on which part of the world you live in! Pls visit the Milk Coffee Blog to see the other Design Team's creations. They are fab and really got me in the Christmas mood!!



Speaking of which, how's your Holiday prep going? I have a little vacation this week, but it's going too fast, and as usual, I've planned more than time allows. But I read Amy Tangerine's blog last night and the article she linked up really helped as far as letting some things go. We, as women, tend to think we can or should do it all, but why stress yourself out when you should be enjoying the joy of the season, right??

I loved that article so much that I've linked it up here as well. Here you go (you can thank me later, LOL!).

Love,

Last Week of the Holidays.

BTW, I will be revamping my blog in the next couple of weeks. Sadly, I will be losing this blogspot address because I get multiple spam comments daily. And just because of the word "bliss".. people have been sending lots of posts with sexual content. Perves!

Here's our last week in pictures. I really enjoyed making this album. The kit was pricey from Studio Calico, but I love the way they group things together. I'll definitely do it again!





















And I ran out of polaroid film! But I did these pages ahead of time. I think that's the key to getting these daily albums done. Now wish me luck for Project Life.





I may repost these once I get pics. Am really debating getting a photo printer.

Have a great day!

Starting off 2013 right! With a blog post and scrapping....

Hello there!


I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas Holiday!

It was very low-key for us. Just did a lot of our traditional family parties, with lots of food, a chaotic but fun passing out of gifts that started on Christmas Eve and ended through the evening of the 25th.

I wanted to really document our Holiday Season so I made a December Daily album. I got the pages done ahead of time, even if I started out ten days late. I am pretty much caught up. Didn't want to end up with another mini album with a cute cover but no finished pages inside - see my Dec Daily 2011 album here.

I found that the trick to getting caught up is to keep things simple and just stick with a small number of supplies. I only used what came in the Studio Calico December Daily kit that KP sold me. I also used some of KP's pretty papers from her own DD kit.

Here are the first few pages. I'll be dividing the rest in other posts.

















Have a Happy New Year's Eve!!!

Happy National Physician's Day!

It's National Doctor's Day, and for my colleagues at work, I was in charge of putting together a little pot-luck for them. In addition, I made them goodie bags full of healthy snacks and hand-sanitizers. I topped them off with these decorated tags!

The tags were from Michael's, the DPs were from Basic Grey, and the stickers were from Jolee's.

Hope they like them! :)

Happy Friday! It's my weekend off!

Year of the Dragon.

Good morning, everyone!

Just a quick post on a couple of Chinese New Year envelopes I made. I don't usually celebrate Chinese New Year, but I have a sis-in-law and a friend who do so I made a couple of red envelopes for their little girls. Plus, I'm technically 1/16th Chinese so why not? :)

The tradition is unmarried people and children receive these with money tucked inside from those who are married. Since I didn't own any Dragon or Chinese stamps (only have Japanese ones from TGF, Magnolia, and SCRS), I used the next best thing and that is, these Prima papers (Peaches Collection). I am not quite sure if the characters on the DP are Chinese but I am hoping so, LOL!

In the crafting front, I am slowly getting my Mojo back. Have a couple of projects lined up but can't post them on the blog just yet. I also received my Project Life package. It's just a matter of getting started now... :). I think the hardest part for me is having to wait for pictures since I don't print them at home. And also trying to decide whether to just start from this point of the year or go back in January.

Anyway, am really REALLY trying to meet my goal of three posts per week.. Super hard lately. Maybe I'll do some non-crafty posts instead.

Thanks for visiting,
