Scrapbooking In Austin

was possible. That is, after drinking coffee. Hahaha. Managed to create a layout for sketch 218 for Scrapbook Challenges. Now I realized how scrapbooking helps me relax. It really did.



G
Trust Webster Pages to save the day! I didn't have alphas, that's one thing I forgot to pack. So I made do with some of the text in an old WP paper.

It's so good to scrapbook!!!

Jet Lag

is my biggest nemesis today. Slept in the afternoon and now I AM WIDE AWAKE. It didn't help that I didn't mute my laptop earlier when I was trying to sleep. I kept hearing the ting, bing, ling... Hehehe...

Nothing scrappy but I am so excited with what Cousin B gave me!!! A Tattered Angels kit!!! I can't wait to get started. Maybe tonight unless I find my way to Joanns or somewhere else.

Cramming!?!

Yes, I am. Just finished packing my suitcases... My luggages are ready BUT I AM NOT... Huhuhu... 20 days is too long to be away from my family...

Finished this layout for September 10 challenge at SC --- By The Numbers...



Here's the challenge...

1 photo
4 kinds of embellishments
3 different stamps

The twist is to use a photo of you with someone you love (not necessarily with your spouse/partner... It could be a photo of you and your mom, you and your pet...)

Can't wait to see your take on the challenge!!!

Scrapbook Challenges Pit Stop #4

Welcome to Scrapbook Challenges' Seasons of Change DT Blog Hop!

I am so glad you stopped by my humble abode. If this is your first time here, I am Sookie or Salme in most forums. If you've come by Racquel's blog then you're on the right track coz I am your 4th stop! If you just stopped in, please make sure that you start at Pamela's blog first so that you won't miss out on any inspiration.

And, Yesssssssss, I am so happy to tell you that I will still be designing for Scrapbook Challenges for another term!

Scrapbook Challenges is a NING-based forum. It has been around since 2007 in MySpace! Every week, Pamela issues an original sketch to challenge your creative side. Aside from the sketches, the design team also issues challenges, "games" and tutorials. If you need mojo-booster, join Scrapbook Challenges (that is, if you're not a member yet)! And then, there's the thing about prizes! Every month, if you make a layout from the sketch/challenges, you are entered into a monthly draw for that month's grand prize! And, let me tell you, the prizes are AWESOME!!!

Onto this hop, Pamela has designed a beautiful sketch for this blog hop.

And, here's my take...



Did the sketch make you want to scrap now? Here are some more incentives!!!

1. Everyone who leaves a comment on ALL the blogs in the hop will be entered into the drawing to win the new "Restoration" line from Crate Paper. Yummmmmmmm-yyyy!!!


2. Everyone who does a layout based on the sketch and posts it in the Hop On section gets entered into the drawing to win the new "Pixie-Licious" line from Cosmo Cricket, including the 12 x 12 sheet of chipboard. What are you waiting for???

3. A pack of Prima flowers for those who will join Scrapbook Challenges this weekend. I love these!!!


4. Another pack for someone who INVITES someone to the group this weekend (through the invite link on the group).

5. Another prize at the Hop On section. Be sure to visit!!!

6. Lastly, a RAK of Prima goodies from me if you leave a comment on this post ; AND another chance *wink*, if you can just help me out and suggest a title that I can use in my pages and does not contain these words "girl", "pretty", "princess", hehehe...

Thank you for dropping by!

Be more inspired and hop on to DEBI for the next stop!

Blessings

First thing I read this morning is about my BIG God who is the God of small things too! So, no wonder it's a prologue of what's going to happen the whole day. I tend to be NEGA (major, major) and I am trying to swing that around and be more positive, not to be stressed with small things.

Anyway, I WON, I WON at Scrappers AT SG's Challenge #36. Thank you so much Beband and her hubby, Benjo for picking my layout. The layout, Shine, is my everyday affirmation. It's now pinned on my wall and will be there forever. Hehehe. When I am down, I know this will motivate me to be better and to know that God is just by my side, cheering me on.

And, I didn't get any stressful emails from my boss. That's a huge blessing for me. The moment I wake up, that's the first thing that comes to my mind. If I have the dreaded email or will my day be awesome because there's none. My boss is not an ogre, he's actually quite nice. But, it's so hard to please someone far, far away. Hahaha.

Anyway, writing this made me affirm that I have to let go of those negative thoughts. And, I know the solution to that. PRAY. *wink*

Finallllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... I've managed to scrap after 2 weeks... It really is a great feeling to be with my papers again hahaha

This is my entry to Scrappers AT SG's Challenge #36 by Bebang and sponsored by Made With Love. This is inspired by a layout created by Ingvild Bolme - so in love with her work!


I always start my day by reading Today's Word by Joel and Victoria Osteen. This particular reading inspired me so much that I keep a copy of it in my bag. I plan to put this in my workstation so that I will remember that with God's help, I can overcome anything.
