Always Forgiving

For this layout, I simply use two plain cardstock DCWV black and white, corrugated board, different colors of paint,metal photo corner,chipboard, alphas,handmade papers and flowers.
Scrapping Everday Miracle's challenge for March is to create a layoput using a word to describe me. "Forgiving" because I have learned a lot to be more compassionate. It has helped me move forward and heal relationships with others as well.
Journalling:
All of us, at some point in our lives, have been hurt by actions and words of another. Through the years, I have learned to survive the pain by controlling the resentment, anger --- even revenge and obsession. And instead, have learned to appreciate the beauty and kindness around me, boost my self esteem and bring me a sense of peace. Now , I am... always forgiving.

By the Sea

This is Jali's first time to go to a beach. She was two years old then. She's so delighted to swim and excited to play in the sand.
Journalling: Memories are like sandcastles - only by putting them in a safe place can you prevent them from washing away.

For this month's challenge at the ARTastic blog, I have included a photo taken at he beach in Zamboanga City, palm tree design and beach embellies plus the dried starfish. The inspiration was taken from the painting of Ken Done called "Chinamen's Beach". TFL

Summer Fun

This LO is based on GYSO#16 sketch. This is taken at Zamboanga City when Jali was two years old. It was summertime and she really had a great time playing at the beach.


I thought of making a frame to give more emphasis on the picture, adding buttons, corrugated paper, chipboard and twine to create a 3D effect.

One Sunny Day

This LO is inpired by this month's challenge at Scrap our stash. My LO is about my cousin Venus with nieces and nephews while having picnic one sunny day in Tagaytay City. I simply decorated the face of the sun so it will look funny yet sexy, It was a perfect day and a lot of people are playing kites. I added a kite too by putting a string and embellishments. Its easter time, so I decided to put a bunny too. I prefer bright colors for my layouts.TFL!

Rock-a-bye Baby

These are pictures of my cousin Vanessa and her daughter Lara. One of the rituals of Lara is to be cradled to be able to fall asleep. This LO is inspired by this week's sketch layout takes #44 on Sketches in Thyme. TFL!

Live, Love, Laugh

This is a picture of my daughter Jali when she was 6 months old. Ilove the way she laughs. This LO is inspired by this week's challenge at HMITM. I used 3 word title, patterned ppa as well as bullets/circles stickers and tickets.

Foot Check

This layout is based on Sketch Challenge on GYSO#15. When my daughter Jali was younger, she likes to check his foot...and sometimes insert into her mouth.
Materials: Pps - DCWV, Basic Grey, Sassafras, AAS, October Afternoon shapes, squishes and revolving eyes to make the eyes puff.
