Layout for ADSR 3

Credits: I use everything from Smitten/Kami & Angela Niehaus (kit retired).

Yay!! I've finished my first page for ADSR 3. The 2nd challenge has been up and it's so challenging. We need to collaborate with our teammate to produce a layout. OK, I've never done such thing before, so this is really new to me. I've seen designers collaborating for kits, but I've never seen scrappers collaborating for a layout? LOL!

Oh, anyway, if you haven't got the freebie that I put up here yesterday, here ya go:

New Layout and a Freebie!

Hi y'all! I have a special freebie for you, but first, lemme share a page I just made using AmyLeigh's new kit, Brilliant Blossoms:

Credits here.

Ahem, like always, if you haven't checked out the kit yet, do check it out, lol! There's a lot of beautiful papers and elements in it. I'm sure you'll love it! Oh, in case you haven't seen the kit yet, here it is (image is linked):




Beautiful, isn't it? OK, on with the freebie. I've just made it and I really hope that you'll love it as I enjoyed making it so much. Here's today's freebie for you (scroll down for the link):

As you can see, I've changed my freebie preview (or packaging). I love the new look so much. Hehe. What d'ya think? I've also made my own No Piracy reminder:


Please, please, do read my TOU. It's important to read TOUs so that you won't do what you're not supposed to do with a designer's product/freebie. For those who've read my TOU, thank you so much! I really appreciate the time that you took to read it.

Now, as a gift for reading and stopping by, here's the download link for ya! Don't forget to say hi to me or leave me some love! I'd really appreciate it!

And oh, do subscribe to my blog if you don't want to miss my latest freebies or news. You can do so by entering your e-mail addy in the box on the sidebar. You'll receive an e-mail whenever I update my blog. I'll also send a thank you gift for those who subscribe. The gift is not yet done so you'll receive it by the middle of March (hopefully). For those who has subscribed, don't worry, I've kept your e-mail addies and you'll receive the thank you gift as well!

Thanks so much again for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Dreams Do Come True by Britt-ish Designs!

Ngee, have you seen this HUGE and BEAUTIFUL kit by Brittney of Britt-ish Designs?? You just have to check it out:


This "Dreams Do Come True" kit is available at ScrapMatters for $7.00. Also, Brittney has an add-on freebie that coordinates with this huge kit on her blog:



Be sure to head on to the store to get this kit! You wouldn't want to miss it!

Thanks for Your Love :)

Credits: I used everything from Be Still My Heart/TammyKat. The envelope and notebook paper is from Be Still My Heart freebie (must be logged in to the forum to download).



This is the first time I scrapped about my boyfriend. I don't have many pictures of him. The one that I used for this page is the best that I have. And I love this kit by TammyKat. There's so many beautiful papers and elements. I love the textures of the papers so much. I actually couldn't decide which paper to use for this page. I put this page aside for several days, and came back to it this night. I found it difficult to scrap a guy's page. I used to scrap about my nieces, so I can put any cute stuff and colors that I like. But for a guy's page, it's a bit more challenging. My boyfriend said he doesn't want soft colors, so I think red and black (and a little bit of pink) would be perfect. I think this page turns out great. I love it. But I might do another version too, lol!

New CT!

I'm now officially a CT for ScrapMatters! I've also made a page using Ellie Lash's Waiamea kit:

Credits here.

Check out the Waiamea kit at ScrapMatters, it's only $5.00!



Ellie also has a collection of cute chirpies for you:


Check out her store at ScrapMatters!

I've been tagged - by Charlie!!

Silly me, I've been tagged by Charlie, my CT friend of Kawouette's team, and I didn't know about it until today after I saw my page at Technorati! Am I living in another world or what? This is a serious problem, lol! I need to get back to reality. So here it is!

6 things about me that are not so important:

1. I have this caffeine crave lately - the ones topped with luscious whipped creams and some dashes of mocha. I'm crazy about it! I've been hopping to some cafes to experience the different tastes of their caffeine goodness. My favourites are Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and my college's own Wings Cafe. Since classes are about to begin next week, I'm looking forward to get my daily caffeine doses at the cafe!

2. I love donuts but I don't know how to bake donuts. I love Big Apple, Dunkin Donuts and JCo. I personally think their donuts are all great. I loved all these three. Oh, I love donuts with thick sugary toppings! I have a sweet tooth :)

3. I got my first teddy bear when I was 19, LOL! I've never had teddy bears before, so when I got the one that I have now last year, it was totally unbelievable. I want to take this opportunity to my special friend who gave me the bear. Someday I'll scrap about it!

4. I love shopping but I don't have money to go and splurge. But lucky me, my sisters are all so generous. So does my dad. But I always feel bad when I asked for money. I don't know, I always feel like that.

5. I love kids!!! I think kids are really special creatures. They live in their own little world, and we don't know how they perceive the life. They're so mysterious. That's why I love photographing and scrapping about kids.

6. I wish I can bake croissants, cakes and cookies. I love love all those good food, but I'm a terrible cook! I need to learn somehow, I can't just eat the ones from the bakeries, ayte?


OK, so I'm gonna tag these wonderful ladies:

1. Sya - I'm a big fan of her! She makes amazing pages and I love her style.
2. Ingrid - I'm so touched by her warmth and friendliness! Also a great source of inspiration to me :)
3. Bisontine - She's so nice! I get to know her from Kawouette's CT too (like Ingrid). She makes really beautiful and meaningful pages, check out her blog!
4. Diane - my great friend from Danielle Young's CT! I love her style, and she's such a wonderful person.
5. Winnie Wang a.k.a Charlize - I knew here thru AmyLeigh's CT but I didn't get to know her well. So I hope this tagging thingy will help me to learn more about her!
6. Pam a.k.a Queen Pamedalah - Also from Amy's CT. Would love to learn more about her :)


Thanks for stopping by!

My Template is Featured?!

I can't believe it... My template freebie is featured for a template challenge at the DigiscrapMania forum. I'm so flattered! And seeing the pages they created amazed me. They're jaw-droppingly gorgeous!! Some of the scrappers flipped the template 90 degrees and voila, here comes a fab page! It's so inspiring to see them creating with my template. Thank you so much you ladies!! I've placed the BabelFish translating tool on my sidebar to make it easier for you all!


Oh, don't forget to drop by at the DigiscrapMania forum. They speak French over there but hey, what's Google Translate for?? LOL!! Language is NOT anymore a barrier now. I even started to learn French more when I joined Kawouette's CT team. Thanks to the helpful and friendly ladies in the team, I don't feel so strange being the only non-French in the team.


And today I have a freebie to share with you:


It's a set of 2 pieces of cardboard backgrounds. Please remember that they're for personal use only! If you create LOs with my freebies, please link me up so I can leave you some love!

Take care and enjoy you day!

Yayy!!

The LO I made with TammyKat's Be Still My Heart is in the gallery standouts at DST today. Yippeee!!!

I scrapped!

I'm in a rush, so here's some quick descriptions of these 2 pages:

The first layout is made for Dawn Inskip's guest CT contest. Love her style.

And, the second layout I made using Oscrap's February collab kit, O Valentine. It's so huge and beautiful, I think you'll love the kit if you buy it. I see lots of stuff that I'll be using again and again in the future in the kit.

Check out my previous posts for the preview picture of the O Valentine kit.

My favourite among the two kits is Mystic Dreams. Love the colours of the papers and elements. I really can't wait to scrap with these kits.

Anyhow, I've done a page for Dawn Inskip's guest CT contest. There's another page to make before I can reply her e-mail. And I'm also in the 3rd round of JFTSOI site CT contest. I didn't expect to make it this far, but I'm enjoying the contest. Love the kits that they provided.

And I'm a guest CT for Kalanice this month. Check out the kit that I'll be scrapping with for the month:


Love the purple & green combination. And my friend, Sya is a CT for Kalanice! Check out her blog.

Still on my Wish List

I've been eyeing this kit since I found it in the store:


I might buy it when I get some money for monetizing my blog. Sheesh, it's so difficult to not having a credit cards & income.

Been busy...

Yeah, I've been busy since yesterday. I backed up all of my scrapping supplies, layouts & designs, just in case my laptop breaks down. My scrapping folder is now is consuming 13.5Gb of my hard disk. And oh, I've spent the GC that Diane gave to me last week. Here's what I bought:

It was $4.00 yesterday when I bought it, but now it's $1.00! Grrr, I should have waited before I bought it...

$3.00


$3.00

Love everything that I got from the store. The doodles, especially. I might be using them a lot in my layouts, lol.

Oscraps New Collab kit!

Just popping in to tell you about Oscrap's new collab kit, O Valentine. It's so beautiful (I've downloaded it!!). Quite huge too, about 266MB.

A bit Melancholic...

I'm a bit melancholic today. Perhaps it's because of the 'time of the month'. Not really in the mood to scrap, but I did scrap anyway.

Credits: Everything from my freebies. Font: Marriage Script.

I have lots of kits from Amy & Danielle that I haven't scrapped with yet. They're beautiful, but I'm just not in the mood to scrap. I feel bad... Oh my, I hope this mood swing will go away soon. I hate it when it lingers too long.

You take care and have a great day. Don't be too moody like me :)

New Challenges & Freebies at DC!

Hi everyone! There are new exciting challenges at Digital Candy forum (and freebies too!).

If you haven't checked out Heidi's Hodge Podge challenge, well, you just have to! The topic for the 2nd Hodge Podge is 'I Am Woman'. This challenge runs until February 14th, so head over to the forum and don't miss it!

And oh, Angela's 7th Candy Jar challenge is still running until February 7th. Here's her candy jar, in case you haven't seen it:























After February 7th, she's gonna put up another mini for the Candy Jar challenge, so hurry up, get the candies now and start scrapping about yourself!

I'm here!

I've never planned to switch here, but it's all for good. My WordPress blog will still be available for freebie lists, but if you want to get my freebies, you'll have to look for them here! LOL. The main reason for the switch is that I want to monetize my blog, and WordPress doesn't allow me to do that since free accounts have no access to admin options. But I have that option with Blogger, and that's why I'm now here.

This blog would be the place where I put my freebies and layouts, while the WordPress blog would be where I put my freebie finds (sorry for reiterating it, I just want to make things clear, lol).

I have to thank my dearest friend, Diane, who had helped me out with this monetizing thing. She's such a wonderful person! She's also in Danielle Young's CT, and that's how we got to know each other (she added me to her Yahoo messenger friends, isn't she sweet?). And, she even did something that I've never expected to happen to me - she gave me a $10 gift certificate at Little Dreamer Designs!! I was so stunned (and still am now, lol), I could hardly believe that I now can finally shop for my scrapping supplies!!! I've never even shopped online before! She's a very generous & wonderful lady, I can't thank her more for it.

So here goes my journey with this new blog. Hopefully I won't miss WordPress too much. I love the features, but the lack of admin access really stressed me out. I hope I can achieve what I want with this blog. Oh, actually the reason why I monetize my blog is because I want to upgrade certain things that I have, and also to be able to shop online. I'm thinking of upgrading my 400D, my 25-84mm USM lens, and also get a flash gun. I might even think of getting an iPod if I can afford it one day. But of course, I also want to save up for the future. I don't want to be too thrift and forgetting about saving up.

If you're reading this, thanks so much, and I hope you'll still visit my WordPress blog since I'll still be posting my freebie lists over there.

Today's freebie is a set of 2 papers:


You can download it here (image is clickable too).


Thanks again and enjoy your day!
