you are the best

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

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.

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

shabby card

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

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.

a layout from old stash

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...

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

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

i do not know if i know how to scrap again.

guilty feeling

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.
