Layout - Bea

at the scrapfest last may, the main challenge was to do a 12x12 layout using cherry arte papers. since the paper assigned to me didn't match the pictures i brought, i hurried to the canon selphy booth to have pictures developed. i opted for my niece bea's pictures i took in cagpajo farm.

from there i rushed to honey's buzy bee booth to look for a cherry arte paper. with the time i spent at the canon booth, sorting through buzy bee, deciding how my layout will look like & cutting the paper, it seemed like i wasn't joining a time-pressured challenge. i didn't want to submit an untitled layout so i went home with my unfinished work.

2 1/2 months later, i put on the title, inked the edges & figured, this has to be the finished layout simply titled bea (sweet as sugar) :

materials: bazzill yellow & pink cs, provo craft fuschia cs,

cherry arte angel-cutie pie pp, cherry arte chipboard,

provo craft sticker outline for the latters b-e-a,

sakura pen, inkadinkado green ink, eyelets,

button, dmc thread

He's Finally Mine!

so you thought i'm having a clandestine affair? God forbid, no.

yes, i have a new "he" in my life now. but he's a machine. a cutting machine. boy, i've long waited for him to arrive. finally, he's here:

my cricut!

with my cricut came more freebies:

fiskars scissors, uhu glue & 360 pieces patterned papers. cool.

[dear uncle, auntie & ching: thank you, thank you, thank you.]

Tickle Me Pls

that is what i felt when my sister sent me this picture:

a scrapper's haven right in richmond

which makes me wonder with sheer excitement what in heavens did she hoard for me. bwahahaha!

i'm such a geek.

Blues

not the feeling, but the bags.

last week, two friends (who don't know each other) gave me blue bags: a leather liz claiborne and a sporty girbaud.

happy, happy me.

A Playmate

that is what husband had over the weekend - - - his 7-month old cutie pie nephew, dwayne.

they look so alike that we wish he is ours :)
