Digi-scrapping

I went digital scrapping this week FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. I just thought I'd try digital kit freebies from Shabby Princess.

Timing that my friend needed help in creating the layout to be printed on the tarpaulines/banners to be used for her darling daughter's christening.

I did two.



and my favourite




Undeniably, having access to various kits that you can embellish your layouts with in a click of a finger, is convincing enough to go digital. No mess and clutter on the table is a big plus too.

But I can't discount the fact that I feel more attached to my paper-based layouts. The texture, the details, the hidden journalling - they sum up the love and hard work I pour into it. They are the works not just of my hand - but of my HEART!

How to make those clocks...

 

This one is for YOU -

YOU who have asked me how to make one.
and
YOU who have appreciated my work.

I am sharing with YOU these steps and pointers to remember when altering a clock.

You can get it on Scrapbytes Ezine, on itsJanuary issue.

Happy Scrapping!

Yet another altered clock ...

For a change, I searched for a square clock for my kumpare and kumareng SnL. Well, I can only search those two home store/shops around my workplace imbetween Christmas and New Year.

Anyway, I used the photo Louie took of them during our Christmas get together early in December and worked around the colours of the tops they were wearing that day and quoted the memorable dedication S gave L on their wedding day.

Altered Clocks - Giveaway

Last night, we had a christmas party and a send off party to two of the families going "home" for Christmas next weekend. I gave away these altered clocks as our family present. Had to take two days off from work so I can finish it in time for the party.

Timeline:

• I bought the clocks on Tuesday.


• Started one on Wednesday night.


• Made two on Thursday night. (Extra one for my mom)


• Made one on Friday night.


• Made the last one on Saturday lunch time. (And the party was dinner time.)

Imbetween, I was fighting off migraine attacks dueto lack of sleep. And really when I scrap, I tend to sleep very light at night. I get this rush of adrenalin and only if my physical body can take it - I will keep going and going ang going.

Super thanks to my husband who patiently supported my craft and my ambition to finish these pressies in time. He looked after our sons and after me as well. Of course I had complains here and there but that doesn't mean I don't recognize his effort and appreciation.

Special thanks to my mom who's obsessive compulsiveness to cleanliness takes a back seat everytime I scrap. She tends to join me in scrapping her grandsons' photos. For the past 3 nights we've been having a blast cropping.

Thanks for looking at the photos.

A special gift for my mom who's been bogging me down to make a layout for her and my kids.
Time passes, Love endures
