A Shabby Passion by Cabbie

intramuros

2012-01-12T13:11:00.000+08:00

my first layout for the year 2012...

a blue preference and touch of yellow.

i just love the wooden spools from pink paislee !!! i also attached some twines as paths for the butterflies chipboards...

oh by the way, i based my layout on this sketch at mysketchworld, nice touch of the sketch!

vow of love

2012-01-04T12:52:00.002+08:00

i handmade this 6x6 wedding mini album as a present for a client's best friend who will be leaving the Philippines soon. the pages inside the album were not included as per client's request.

hope her best friend will love the album...

i wish i could show the pages inside since they are very romantic and dreamy with a bit of shabby concept but i have to respect my client's choice. anyway, here it is... only the cover and some overview...

i added some techniques with flowers and chipboards embellishments...

the God Box

2011-12-17T11:53:00.001+08:00

i made this for an art enthusiast...

supplies from websters pages, prima flowers, tim holtz, dusty attic chipboard, graphic 45; box bought from yellow violet house

ONE FINE DAY layouts

2011-12-13T19:09:00.001+08:00

these are some layouts i did with studio azul's september ONE FINE DAY kit...

THE KIT

scrapa-thon at lasting impression

2011-12-04T09:36:00.001+08:00

last november 19, 2011 i had the chance to attend Lasting Impression's scrapa-thon. its a 4 week event ( for which i just signed up once) wherein you will be given a kit to scrap with. there were available punches and mists for the participants to use too. after finishing a said number of layouts, you get a chance for a raffle draw!

anyway, here are my layouts i did with the kit i chose.

my first time to use washi tape! oh i am loving it..

my family

2011-12-02T08:08:00.001+08:00

my last layout for studio azul as their guest designer for mid october.

for this layout, the prima corrugated board paper is really an UBER SHABBY DISTRESSED material, so to speak.

you can tear some part out, distressed it with paint and ink creating another universe!

acetate bird with glimmer glam and paint.

layering with pop up dots or glue

believe

2011-11-30T22:26:00.001+08:00

one of my layouts for studio azul.

thank you

2011-11-29T13:08:00.001+08:00

reaching 39 is something to ponder about, it's an age where i have to say goodbye to the 3's and welcoming the 4. in chinese culture, i am already 40. every birthday, i feel as if time is consuming my life. as life gets shorter as your birthday comes, my friend told me a positive thing, i should be thankful i have to count all the years i had lived. that's more important than thinking of my life being shortened as the years passed.

i know i had lived a somewhat happy life but of course, nothing is perfect. there may be frustrations and shortcomings and so many other things that will come and go but one thing for sure, i just wish my birthday wish will come true... but of course, that's a secret nobody should know. :)

bunch of flowers and a cake for me from my family. indeed, i want to celebrate it in a different way.

this is the season...

2011-11-28T13:23:00.001+08:00

a small card i made using graphic 45 christmas emporium... just simple with some tattered angels chalkboard chalk mist... and jo sonja's opal dust. ribbons from webster's pages and chipboard from echo park. happy christmas in advance. 'tis the season!

casitas

2011-11-27T18:11:00.001+08:00

a layout for my guest design assignment with Studio Azul.

cling

2011-11-26T12:00:00.001+08:00

my third layout for studio azul...

i love the mix and match of colors here even though it's a boy layout! what can flowers do to a boy layout?

splattering some martha stewart microbeads...

stamping on american crafts thickers will transform them from boring solid colors to a highlighted and patterned chipboard title..

our favorite

2011-11-25T14:57:00.001+08:00

another layout for my guest design stint with Studio Azul.

fun times

2011-11-22T20:50:00.001+08:00

this is one of my first layouts for Studio Azul as their guest designer for the month of October. i used their October "Think Good Thoughts" kit here.

14 layouts in 15 hours.

2011-11-17T09:04:00.001+08:00

last october 8, 2011, a couple of friends ( mostly Pinoyscrapbookers moderators ) were invited by Tin Yao to celebrate the post-party of Scrapbuffet at their place in Tagaytay City ( Midlands). We arrived at a rainy morning while some girls went ahead already. It was a scrap all you can event where we "INDULGE" in everything scrappy! Can you imagine the papers all you can EAT... i mean USE?? stamps, inks, punchers, embellishments and FOOD to your delight? not to mention the cheese and wine that went with it? I will have to post some pics soon because it would be unjust not to..

anyway, here are my 14 layouts i did in 15 hours. Straight 15 hours non stop. Some of my friends finished 25 layouts! can you imagine that?

this is my best friend's wedding a couple of years back. i look thin here!

studio azul kit

2011-11-12T10:53:00.001+08:00

by next week, i will be posting layouts i made with Studio Azul's October kit ( Think Good Thoughts) where i am a Guest Designer. i am so excited with the kit, gorgeous choice of papers and embellishments which are so shabby and chic! Thanks Tin Yao of Studio Azul for the that opportunity!

watch out for it!

a postcrosser like me

2011-11-11T10:57:00.001+08:00

happy postcrossing! i have been a member of Postcrossing.com for over 2 years and have received more than 600 postcards so far. i have ran out of storage but i am happy with all the clutters! you see, i do not only receive postcards in return but stickers, ephemeras, tickets or bookmarks as well not to mention bank notes from all over the world. of course i also send them tokens of appreciation! here is a particular postcrosser who sent me crochet stuffs! so surprising because i think she saw my profile interest and holly molly, she is also another hooker like me and so this remembrance which i am so happy to receive in the mail...

postcrossing has made my life more interesting.. even in the snail mail part of our system, i still am very excited to receive something from the mail once in a while.

currently, i rank 2nd in the philippines for the most number of postcards sent... how about that?!

card case

2011-10-06T23:45:00.000+08:00

i used a Prima case and altered it with Graphic 45 Magic of Oz.

secret scraplift layout

2011-10-04T00:31:00.001+08:00

a creation i did in 45 minutes including choosing papers, design and taking a photo and uploading it. last month, the girls at pinoyscrapbookers decided to do a SECRET SCRAPLIFT where 30 more or so girls were randomly grouped into 2 groups. each group will scrap a layout emailed to them from the girl on top of their names. in the end, the group who scraps first wins.

i am one of the girls in group 2 and we won! we won by a couple of hours ahead of group 1. it was an experience where time and pressure definitely will test your creativity.

this was promoted over at pinoyscrapbookers facebook site.

greatest of them all...

2011-09-13T23:49:00.001+08:00

another G45 layout creation using the le cirque collection.

one thing i noticed about G45 papers is that you tend to cut them to make them stand out. you do not need that much techniques here because the papers are enough to make a technique out of your layout. just some tearing, layering and inking and its done...

thanks to ime for the wonderful birdcage diecut which i used as a cage for the acrobats..

cutting out letters serving as borders...

3 + 4

2011-09-10T11:34:00.001+08:00

another graphic 45 creation using the ABC primer line... can't get enough of G45! anyway, i used the Maya Road canvas and some G45 papers.. perfect for hanging on the line!

altered Beabi pill bottle using G45

2011-09-09T14:28:00.003+08:00

graphic 45 ABC primer... how i love this line and every line in Graphic 45. i just can't help with the vintage feel and the detailed graphic design of their paper.

i altered a Beabi pill bottle 200ml...

other supplies used: alcohol inks; blings; fabric and mists

bought this drawer knob at ACE hardware, just look at the cute house!!

the beabi plastic pill bottles... ( picture c/0 beabi website)

love you card -- cosmo cricket odds and ends

2011-09-08T22:36:00.002+08:00

i just love this line! the vintage feel yet subtle pastel color to go with it.

made the flowers out of the pattern papers...

distressed with some inks...

close up view of the paper flower... cut and ink... just that easy!

october afternoon boarding pass

2011-09-07T10:38:00.002+08:00

sharing with you my DT work with Visual Creations using the October Afternoon Boarding Pass 8x8 pads and chipboards...

laughing

2011-09-06T08:46:00.002+08:00

second layout created during the mock scrap laureat event ( held last sept 3, 2011 )...

made use of the kit and embellishments supplied...

die cuts of tim holtz! painted on it and sprayed with mist-- move a bit to reveal a mask.

he said having fun

2011-09-06T08:43:00.002+08:00

made this layout while at tin yao's place last august .. rehearsing for the scrap laureat held last sept 3.

an origami inspired layout

2011-09-02T18:35:00.002+08:00

using studio azul's kit ( november 2010), i made this quicky layout using an ORIGAMI from my son as an accent...

adriel is an expert or let me say, LOVES to do origamis so i persuaded him to make one for my layout.

a favorite layout

2011-08-26T23:45:00.000+08:00

adding some feathers create dimension...

that a boy

2011-08-26T23:41:00.000+08:00

some layering and masking techniques here...

celebrate being a woman

2011-08-26T10:43:00.001+08:00

using transparencies enhances a layout because you can see beneath... creates dimension without building it up.

junque journal

2011-08-15T16:02:00.003+08:00

the pinoyscrapbookers girls decided to try a new venture... making a junque journal. i do not know if i am doing justice to my work but using old stashes and adding techniques makes the journal a unique creation.

binding : metal rings

embossing and using beeswax to give a matte finish look.

i also used atc carousel clips and wooden pegs with the ribbons

i also used a coats and clark zipper on the last back page where you can insert photos or anything.

beeswax glass container

2011-08-12T14:10:00.001+08:00

playing with beeswax has never been more fun... this time, using glass containers as my guinea pigs, i decided to melt beeswax on "leche flan" containers ( known as llanera in filipino).

put some beeswax pellets inside the llanera then melt using heatgun. you would think its like an improvised melting pot!

roll the glass container to cover it with beeswax while still in liquid form. it would look almost like a frosted glass afterwards.

after few seconds, it will appear like candle wax on your container, see picture lowermost.

stamp on it and brush some sparkle...

containers are great just for anything and everthing...

backview...

close up of the beeswax sticking...

i also drown some diecuts onto the beeswax

2011-08-11T18:40:00.004+08:00

i would like to share with you some good news! my blog ( this blog ) was featured at

Be @ Home ( click here )

“Starting my blog was a way to share my passion for scrapbooking. It was… an outlet for letting other people see that deep inside each person’s ability, a creative spark lurks. We just have to confront and make use of that art instinct and by sharing it with others, we shower them with inspiration.

“My blog site is not only about what I do but my growth as an scrapbooker and as a person, it is a journey of my life in what I create, what I believe and what my passion is really all about. I think a selfless sharer of what she knows is the best experience one can offer.” – Cabbie of A Shabby Passion

memories

2011-08-04T11:13:00.002+08:00

made a layout using old rub ons, i think rub ons will always find its way to layouts even though for me, it may seem outdated already. rubons here ( memories.... )

stamping on canvas is as cool as it seems! while mixing fabric and papers are not against the rules...:)

two of us

2011-08-01T14:03:00.002+08:00

this is my 3rd layout done at Tin's place ( a "mock" scraplauret- an event coming this september 3, 2011) last Saturday, July 30, 2011... in a midst of food, cheese and wine!

fabric flower courtesy of Tin...

stamping with overlapping "damaged" rubons! have to pitch in something to cover up the mess.

canvas mixed media

2011-07-29T10:14:00.005+08:00

weeks ago, i made this "something" out of the blue while playing with the scrapbook girls. using mixed media stuffs like paints, 8 x 10 inches canvas, beeswax and glimmer glam along with various embellishments, i created a collage using graphic 45 papers.

close up a bit...

beeswax all over!

it was a great way to unwind... to get a free feel of creating out of the blue!

boyz

2011-07-23T12:59:00.002+08:00

made this layout, again, using old stash and Accents Stencil ( branches ).

Accents stencil with Golden molding paste and touches of Glimmer glam, Maya Mists, Smooches... combined to create colorful branches.

Fragments acrylic pieces with Martha Stewart microbeads, embedded on Golden Clear Tar gel.

my last post and creation with SNR

2011-07-20T19:39:00.002+08:00

this is my last contribution for Scrapbooks News and Review online magazine july 2011 issue. i made an ATC using different stash. thank you snr for the wonderful 3 years!

mixed media class pictures

2011-07-11T14:52:00.006+08:00

these are the projects created for the class using the following techniques: use of pumice gel, glimmer glam, microbeads, tinsels, leafs, inking, molding paste, misting, masking, gluefoil transfer image, bottle caps altered projects.

the girls... i think they enjoyed the process of creating and messing up beautifully!!!

moderators ime and cabbie ( so tired eyes.)

finished layouts

pumice gel on mask demo

always in my heart

2011-07-08T13:07:00.002+08:00

i used an Ippity stamp here ( from ippity chick symbelly tan), a couple of cosmo cricket scraps too! derwent inktense for the coloring and some specks of paints and stickles to create this simple card.

thank you SNR

2011-07-07T08:24:00.002+08:00

three years ago, i was invited by the editors of scrapbook news and review online magazine to become part of their growing crew. from layouts to cards to tutorials, it has been a fun three years for me and my creativity. but life has changes and turnabouts and time has limits so after those escapades with them, i finally have to say goodbye. even if it was a hard decision on my part, it has to be done. i have no regrets whatsoever because i learned a lot and the most important lesson here is that changes are inevitable and that's what makes life challenging, it makes us grow and expands our artistic foray. thank you SNR for the good three years!

the bus

2011-07-07T07:51:00.002+08:00

should have been "inside" the bus for the title. lol. but anyway, made another layout inspired by american craft and of course using my old stash. for the base i used fancy pants to have some kind of a contrast and an in between of vintage chic to graphic designs.

banners are beginning to create trends in layout designs. i seldom use it but i have fun here!

another Mixed Media class at Visual Creations

2011-07-04T00:29:00.004+08:00

another mixed media class will be held at the Visual Creations store this coming July 9, 2011 ( saturday) from 11am - 5 pm. the class will showcase 4 beautiful mixed media layouts from yours truly and the talented Ime Oranga. there will also be an altered project to top it all.

since the class will only accommodate so little pupils, we hope that we can deliver most of our knowledge with the students. an informal setting with fun and sharing, its a class meant for the artists at heart and a freedom of our inner senses.

piano time

2011-07-01T23:40:00.003+08:00

my two twin nieces anela and ailyse love to play the piano. i call them achi and shobe respectively and they are just so cute!

dressform from a good talented scrapbooker friend, Ime.

perfect pearls and some stamping.

family fun - a beeswax album

2011-07-01T10:26:00.005+08:00

it's been awhile since i made a mini... and using beeswax as a base for all is so much fun!

i also used martha stewart microbeads and tinsels.

pure ranger beeswax in base.

thanks to suze weinberg tutorial, i brushed perfect pearls on the beeswax to create color effects and shimmer.

the beeswax can hold embellishments including metals.

thanks for looking! i enjoyed the process using only iron and heatgun.

you are the best

2011-06-29T15:32:00.004+08:00

just so that i could get to my scrapping mojo again, i am trying as much layouts as i can. its been so hard to get scrapbooking into my system but i am really forcing myself to incorporate the feel of it again.

just mixing and matching.

trip

2011-06-28T08:55:00.003+08:00

a fun way to create a layout is to take your time... and do it at your own pace. i used the martha stewart punch ( vines ) and it's so cool! you can create borders with it or as an accent. glimmer glam will also enhance and give a vintage feel, just brush it on anything from papers to chipboards.

2011-06-27T13:19:00.000+08:00

i hope i did the right thing. no regrets. only memories.

shabby card

2011-06-17T18:18:00.002+08:00

just did a card using the MME line of papers ( not so current ) coz that's all i have right now lol! anyway, i want to share with you what i did with the Martha Stewart Microbeads and Tinsels. i love it!!! they create dimension on anything and the texture is so candy-y!!

i also love the colors and their containers! made me want to collect them all...

i also used Glimmer Glam ( pink tutu ) on the flower base paper. sprayed Maya Mist on the background paper.

altered canvas centerpiece

2011-06-16T12:45:00.003+08:00

i have been on a delayed mode since the start of the year, so i made this interesting project for artzdescrap as a way of reviving some creativity in me and for them.

i used the maya road canvas dressform which is so cool!

using Prima mask and Maya road mists... as pattern for the canvas.

side view...

june issue of snr is out.

2011-06-13T23:14:00.001+08:00

a layout from old stash

2011-06-11T09:26:00.003+08:00

i know i have been neglecting scrapbooking over so many new things like the games at the net or crochet ( i will not give this up though), but right now i would really love to create again. creativity sparks when you open its path again in your life. its your decision and your passion.

my layout using old stash. it's been so long since i got hold of new stuffs too except for the flowers here which i just purchased.

break in again...

2011-06-10T10:12:00.002+08:00

hay... wanted to start scrapping again after a long time of break.. from diversions to domestic duties as a 24/7 mom to four boys, household chores, school works, tutoring them on my own with bilingual subjects... so many works!!! yet i decided to forgo what others would do-- giving up and getting a tutor. i believe in quality education and supervision by parents. i firmly believe that if you can teach your children on your own then do it. i grew up with it so i knew it.

here are some layouts i did, i feel i am starting from zero.

a page after a hiatus

2011-04-13T13:50:00.004+08:00

i feel as if i am on a blur after scrapping. you see, i have been on a hiatus, on a scrap block for some time and the feeling is so hard to recover. there is this blank space on your mind while choosing the right embellishments, i mean there is no right or wrong in scrapbooking, its just that you do not feel right about everything. i know i should not have posted this layout but to keep me going, i have to do it.

scrap in question

guilty feeling

2011-02-10T14:13:00.004+08:00

i have been having some guilty feelings lately not scrapping!!! and so i got my stash, old and new ( not that much! i need to shop! ), printed some photos ( old and new too!) and scrapped in a slow pace... argggh, when you stop scrapping for a while, you get this block! that goes for me.

but i am quite happy with the layouts. not a buster not for pubbed but for myself. for my happiness.

just want to spell out something, i know just a bunch of you reads my blog ( all of them over at facebook!) but when you scrap, do not think that being pubbed is the most important goal you should have, do not let your layouts be pressured because of pubbed issues and wanna be pubbed. scrap because you want to. scrap because it makes you happy!! after all, in the first place, you decided to scrap because you want to cherish the memories nad not because you want to get pubbed. those are just icings.

a little bit of salad here... thanks for looking.

december daily

2010-12-01T18:13:00.002+08:00

2 weeks ago, my scrappy friends contemplated to do ali edwards' december daily and so with further full-force and more influence from each other, we came up with the decision to do it.

here is my take.

more pictures to follow.

cake decor and oh so newbie samples

2010-11-24T12:07:00.002+08:00

sometimes, hobbies are a never ending feat!!! and talking about hobbies, some are expensive ones!!! last week, i decided to enroll myself in cake decorating. i know i have never even baked nor even held a piping bag in my life!! but i said i want to try it..

you see, cake decor has always been on my wishlist way way back and now that it has been fulfilled, i want to explore more on cake decor and hopefully "bake". of course, my other hobbies like crochet, scrapbooking and books will always stay.

here are some pictures which i took: some to follow too.

what i bought after the class. for practice purposes!!

what i did for a "bald" and damaged cake.

i also got a red ribbon ube mammon ( ube cupcake ) and played with the ready to use icing.

memories - a mixed media class for visual creations

2010-11-10T14:51:00.004+08:00

last november 7, 2010, visual creations, a local scrapbooking store in manila conducted a mix media class using the golden molding paste and other mediums to dress up a maya road postal chipboard album.

design team members cabbie ( yours truly ) and ime oranga made their own versions of the albums and the class participants modified their designs using the kit provided.

this is my take on the album:

hambly screenprints painted on the other side will give your white transparency a certain kind of glow and beauty!

molding paste painted with acrylic gives texture as well as boldness and uniqueness to your creation.

i also used the golden pearl mica flakes, although not as glittery, it will still give your album a bit of sparkle.

fabric papers from american craft are a must to every album. here i created a lampshade using the fabric sticker.

insert your transparency to any chipboard spot...

textured background with molding paste. paint it with multi colors!

Boys Are Cute - an MME mini album

2010-11-05T23:11:00.006+08:00

this is my DT work for Visual Creations using the MME Lost and Found line.

i love to play with the papers. whats so special about this? when you see the actual line, its really different when you view it on the website. though the colors tend to be a little bit pale, playing with the embellishments and combining the papers really is a great challenge!

1.2.3 smile : crown mini album from kaiser craft

2010-11-04T16:00:00.003+08:00

i made this album a long long time ago but due to many interferences, it was not "exposed" to the public. i wanted to post on my blog but was waiting for some final thoughts until now...

well, here goes. for aeisha, she is already 3 now.
