layouts for filipino scrapbookers DT swap

DT moderator and creator of Filipino Scrapbookers Challenge Blog pioneered the swap wherein each DT member will do one layout for each DT member. The group is divided into 2 and here are my takes on 4 layouts to be swap with each of them,

for Bessie,

she requested a blank space for her picture.

for Melissa

for Issa

and lastly, for Kathleen

hope the girls would love it.

mid october challenge at filipino scrapbookers

its the mid time of the month of october and once again, the filipino scrapbookers are encouraging everyone to join in the fun in the sketch!

this is a two page sketch but i tried to modify and squeeze in to create a one page layout. it was a challenge per se because it was a dictation to myself whether i am to defy or not to defy against the sketch. but in the end, i did took up the challenge... i was also inspired by fellow DT bessie for her one page layout too.

i made these two layouts yesterday during my me-time. i have not much new stuffs because i seldom buy anymore since i rarely scrap  nowadays. but when i saw my stash just sitting there, i felt pity and guilty. lol!

DT at Filipino Scrapbookers

Thank you to Filipino Scrapbookers Challenge Blog for the great opportunity in the coming next 6 months. The rest of the DT members will be coming up with great layouts from great sketches! So pull your scrap stash out, so am I... and join me in this mojo comeback. I know some of you have gone different ways, diversions ( which we cannot even comprehend as to why we had to at least sway a bit) but there is always an outlet in scrapbooking which we cannot even understand too.

So in this journey, just be with us. Try to make some layouts from the sketch, make them your guide, your light. As what we say " sayang naman ang scrap stash if we do not use it ". You do not have to be as fast as a cheetah to scrap but only do it with your heart, and that's what counts. 

here is my take on the first intro layout. 

these are really backlog papers which i have not touched for months but i still love the colors and the paper designs.

in a rush, what do you say?

These two layouts were made during an anxious time of my life. during the rush, i want to mask my thoughts thus doing these layouts so as to destress myself.  

TOURISTA

THE BEST DAY EVER

what's better than doing exciting stuffs with your friend?

using chalk mists and distressing inks add to a vintage look and feel. 

vintage with a playful boy color

i am not sure if scrapping really is time consuming or we just let ourselves be the slave of time and just making it pass. i know i have been scrapping so slow and in a discontinuous pattern but once you sit down and just TRY to sneak in a few moments of your time to REALLY SCRAP, then i think we can start our mojo running. it is really US who is the culprit of our laziness to scrap. we make the decision and we make our own will if we really want to scrap or not.

i tried my best to come up with something i want but there was nothing good about my wanting something out of something until oh well, i just have to do it. i made this 6x6 layout in less than an hour, assuming all embellishments are right in front of me. lol. 

i am quite happy with the outcome despite the free style conformity which i am really not into but nevertheless it paid off. 

so if we say we do not have time to scrap, its really not that way in the first place. 

layout theme: vintage with a hint of playful boy color.

intramuros

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!
