Mickey + Purple = My SIS

I've created a layout from another challenge that matched this recent inspiration board from Color Combos Galore.

My sis loves purple and so this layout was made for her.

This is a very simple 2-page layout that consists mostly of pattern papers. Used mainly to add texture and color, then to mat the photos.

I also made the banner out of a trim and of course with the patterned papers, creating Mickey's iconic head (as my sis loves Mickey Mouse).

Supplies:

cardstocks, letter stickers: American Crafts ; patterned papers: 3Bugs in a Rug, GCD studios ; punches: EK success, Fiskars, Carl ; circle cutter: Martha Stewart ; letter stickers: Cosmo cricket, Doodlebug design ; others: trims, tape glue, glue lines, glossy accents

Thanks for dropping by.... c",)

Just for you Mom

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Moms!

Even though I was up all night until the wee hours of Sunday, good thing that I was still able to call back home and greet my dearest Mommy and be able to make something special for her.

Since I'm miles away from my Mom, in honor of her, I have created a layout dedicated for her.

Fortunately enough, I was able to enter this also in the recent creative crop that I have attended.

sharing my layout for mommy dear...

supplies:

kraft cardstock; patterned paper (Websters); vellum; alpha sticker (AC); pearls, mask (Prima); dimensional sticker, acrylic ink (Making Memories); punches (Martha Stewart); ribbons; glimmer mist (Tattered Angels); distress ink, word stick (Ranger); embroidery thread (DMC)

btw, NEY, thanks for covering my hh chores just so that I can attend the crop. mwaaah!

First of May

Today is a holiday - Labor day, however it falls on a weekend.. just hoping that 1-day will be added on our leaves.

anyhoo, being off from the office does not mean there's nothing to do at home.. but it was so nice that after a tiring day, my amore knows how to pamper me.. =)

he went to grocery, prepared dinner and cooked the meal- by himself!!! in fairness, it was his first time to cook that meal yet it's close to perfection.. =)

so, thumbs up to you 'ney... *mwah*

time management

sometimes it really bothers me if I can't do the things I already planned to do..
how can someone be able to do all the things at once.. as if he/she has more than 24hrs in a day..get the picture? c",)

how I wish I am a stay-at-home wife and be a domestic goddess =)

maybe once I am, me and my husband would be able to have the 'family' that we ever dreamed of.. c",)
