EVER HEARD OF RASCAL FLATTS?

I must admit it was only recently that I have heard of the band because of Scraptiffany's Challenge#17: My Wish. The challenge is to use the song's title or the lyrics or both.

Googled the lyrics (and the message is really beautiful!!!!):

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you

And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get

Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
(My wish for you)

This is my wish
(My wish for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you
(My wish for you)
May all your dreams stay big
(My wish for you)

This is my take:

Journaling: My wish for you is that life becomes all that you want it to.

SCRAPTIFFANY'S GDT FOR OCTOBER

Yep, I'm gonna be ScrapTiffany's GDT for October (see the announcement here)!!! Yey!!!! Make sure to tune in with us this month for the challenges are awesome!!!

For Week#14, the challenge was to make handmade flowers. I still had those Best Creations papers sent to me by my lady boss over at Scrapstreet, Dora, and so I decided to use them (me using pink and violet - - I know, is this me? LOL). I remember I haven't really played much with my mini Scor-it so I used it in doing my flowers. Here's my take on the challenge:

Published at Scrapstreet.com Magazine's November 2009 Issue.

Supplies: Tool: Scor-it, Cardstocks: Die Cuts with a View, Bazzill Basics Paper, Papers, overlay, metal stickers and rub-ons: Best Creations, Paints: Pebeo, Pen: Uniball Signo, Other: Cuttlebug Diecut @.

BACK TO BG PART 1

Last Friday, I was finally able to receive my Urban Anthology May Kit (thanks Kari!!!) after winning their Design Contest with Webster's Pages. The beautiful kit includes BG, Pink Paislee and Webster's papers with lots of prima flowers, laces/ribbons, buttons and stamp. So Saturday afternoon, I found myself playing with my BG porcelain papers and made a layout for these two challenges: ScrapTiffany for their Week #10 Challenge (prompt is "What does home mean to you?") and A2ZScraplets' September Sketch Challenge using this sketch:

Here is my take (note of warning though, the pictures do not have the best lighting as it is still raining here in Manila!!!) :

Journaling: Home is nowhere but in your arms.

Materials used: Cardstock: Bazzill, Papers: Basic Grey, Chipboards: Basic Grey, A2ZScraplets, Flowers, blings and stamps: Prima Marketing, Glimmer Mist: Tattered Angels, Paint: Making Memories, Ink: Colorbox, StazOn, Ranger, Pearl conchos: All About Scrapbooking, Pen: Sakura, Others: Corrugated board acetate, ribbon, blings.

After almost a year, I discovered I have this butterfly stamp, LOL!!!


I was also able to use for the first time my Pearl Dew glimmer mist. I painted my A2ZScraplets chipboard with paint and then misted it on top. Loved the effect - - shining, shimmery, splendid LOL!!!


Thanks for looking.
