BLOGGER SNAFU / CRUSH

Last week, something went wrong with Blogger - - I wasn't able to log in or update my posts plus a lot of the comments in my previous post were deleted. Sigh. You still have time though to re-post your comments to be in the running for the prize package.

Today I'm sharing with you a layout that I have made using Bo Bunny's Crush Collection. It is based on the sketch that you can find HERE.

Dark humor at work as always - - nyahahaha. ;o) Kinda dark pictures too - - but I think the beauty of this collection still shined through. ;o)


Saved these charcoal knit petals for this special layout!!! I love that they're not too girly for a boy layout (well, the pic still includes me anyway LOL!!!).


Hope you like what I shared with you today. Thanks for looking.

BO BUNNY MAY BLOG HOP

Hello blog hoppers!!!! If you are already hopping along with us, you probably got to my blog from Mahlin, but if not and want to hop along, head on to Bo Bunny's blog to start!

I have done a mini-album specially for this blog hop but I will show three - - just to cover all types of projects - - and all of them feature the Olivia Collection.

I have a confession to make: when I first got hold of Olivia, I knew right away that I wanted to use it on something personal about me. It took time for me to use because I was waiting for the special photos and concept...

I think it was sometime in August last year when someone lent me an itty bitty book called "A Short Guide to a Happy Life" by Anna Quindlen. It's a really simple book, a fast read - - you can finish it in 5 minutes!!!! Funny how something small can hugely affect you and how you view your life!!!

For this blog hop, allow me to deviate a little, as I would want to share the words that made an impact on me...

You are the only person alive who has sole custody of the life of your mind and of your heart.
Show up. Listen. Try to laugh.
Keep still. Be present.Love the journey, not the destination. Today is the only guarantee you get.
Learn to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back.
Learn to be happy.
School never ends. The classroom is everywhere. The exam comes at the very end.
I used Bo Bunny's My Edgy Album in Clover - - this is sooooo easy to use!!! I didn't want to cover it with patterned paper anymore as it's beautiful as is already, I just distressed it and it's good to go!!!

The mini-album took me less than a day to finish. I wanted it to be like the book where it got it's inspiration - - simple, fast and straight to the heart. Ooohhh, just in case you're wondering why I'm in costume in the photos (blushing here), it's because I was one of the emcees during my company's Christmas party (I guess they needed a clown!!!! LOL!!!!). Special thanks to JayR Purisima, my idol and colleague, for the photos!!!

So there, hope you like the album. Just in case, you would want to see more possibilities with the Olivia Collection, allow me to share a layout and a card that I have done also with this line:


How to win a prize?

One blog hop participant that leaves a comment on each of the designers' blogs will be chosen at random to win a Bo Bunny prize package. To be eligible for the second prize leave a comment on the Bo Bunny blog after hopping through all the blogs and one will be chosen at random. The winners will be announced next Wednesday on the Bo Bunny blog. This is the first of 3 blog hops happening this month, so good luck!!!

Before you go on:

1) Let me invite you to follow me on my blog;

2) Leave a comment here (good luck bagging the super yummy prize!!!!!!);

3) Hop on to Irene!!!

Off you go!!! Thanks for hopping along with us!!!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Happy easter everyone!!! Just want to share with you a super fast altered project that's guaranteed to be loved by your kids!!!

I got to buy these plastic eggs at the mall (5 pieces, cost a little less than $2!!!) and with the help of my daughter, we altered 2 of our eggs here:


I used the Blast Off Collection on this one (this one is for Phil)...


while I used Vicki B. Collection on this one (for Nat).


You know what? After I took pictures of them, my kids grabbed them right away and ate all the gold chocolate coins!!! But they're good kids, they saved the papers (with minimal damage) so Mommy can still make cards out of them!!!! LOL!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!!! I have a lot of catching up to do - - I have a lot of projects to show so I should be blogging everyday again!!!

HATS OFF!!!

If you ask me, my ultimate dream is really to create something that I can wear!!!! LOL!!! I know this dream is slowly trying to become a reality - - this will start as soon as I open that Brother sewing machine that I bought last month from its box. LOL!!!! I don't know, maybe because I just don't have the space to place it and the time to watch the instructional DVD that came with it..... hhhhmmm, maybe this Holy Week I'll have the free time (crossing my fingers).

Anyways, my friends know that I'm big with accessories and so, when Bo Bunny asked the DT gals to create something wearable out of the collections, I made this:

I had these charcoal knit petals for the longest time and was just waiting for the right moment to use it. I bought the cap for my daughter at SM (about $5 bucks), I thought the cap was too plain so I accessorized it using Bo Bunny's petals. I removed the bling from the Secret Crush Petal and sewed the Charcoal Knit Petals in place. The Secret Crush Petal is adhered to the cap using safety pins so I can easily take it off should I want to wear it alone as a brooch!!! Brilliant eh? ;o)

Want to feel inspired more? Better check out the blog post HERE.

Thanks for looking everyone!!!

The kit, called Madame Butterfly, features Bo Bunny's Gabrielle Collection - - I have been wanting to play with these papers early on (when I received my DT box), but decided to hold off as I know that these would be featured in Scrap That!'s kit.

Here are my creations:


DD as a flower girl last December- - see, even my photos have backlogs as it's almost April already LOL!!!!! My defense would be I was waiting for the perfect papers and embellies to scrap it. ;o)

I have included here Texture Musique and Mannequin 1 stamps from Stamp Enjoy.


Playing with butterflies...


Here's my second layout:


Included that cherubs' chipboard and sticker swirls from my BB stash...
