Halloween in Cypress San Jose

Ella says KAYA!

Finally... after hibernating for almost a month.... I was able to create a 12x12 LO. I got an inspiration last week but didn't used it due to lack of time. Just browsed a mag after dinner today and finished my entry for almost 3hours. The pix might not have a relation with the overall design but I like its simplicity. I am happy with it because I love all the colors in it....black,white and RED.

WAX FUN

Ella says KAYA!

I was not able to do a LO for last month's challenge so I ensured that I'll have a LO for this month. This LO was almost done early this month but I felt something is missing. Can't make up my mind on what embellish to add. I ended up removing the previously added embellish and be back to where I started - not much embellishment.

Float in LOVE

Ella says, KAYA!

Kinda disappointed on how this LO turned out. Was not so happy about it. Finished the LO last Friday but was not able to post immediately. And today, had a hard time taking pic of the LO. Was reading the MSW site while taking pix but didn't work out. Just ended up using my cellphone because my camera battery went empty. Btw, thanks to Tin for lending me the Hero stamp that I used in this LO and the transparency that she had given during the PS EB.
