I remember...

Just want to quickly share a layout I made for MME's current challenge - I Remember.  I found this picture of Gio from our Big Day and it was perfect for the papers I chose so I went for it. This layout designed itself naturally, by that I mean working with these papers just comes naturally. I've always loved nertrals so I guess that was it.

And the close ups...

The butterfly was a Maya Road chipboard, the base was misted with Maya Road too and the top is painted with Shimmerz Blingz.

I loved layering those journaling card.

This title is a Silhouette die cut which I misted with GM Marshmallow. Its just glittery in person and I love it.

Materials Used:

PPS: MME So Sophie

Embellishment: Silhouette die cut, MME Journaling cards and border strip, Buttons, Blings

Inks: Distress inks, Glimmer Mist, MR Mist, Shimmerz Blingz

Tools: Fiskars & EK Success border punches, Silhouette SD, Fiskars circle punches

Cheers!

Weekend Wedding

December - the month of weddings... Yes, a lot of weddings during this time of the year. We attendeded a wedding of Gio's friend yesterday at the Manila Cathedral ~ Fort Santiago. It was a nice wedding and it made me realize that time flies so fast. I can't believe it's been almost a year since our wedding...

I guess when you realize that time flies so fast, you're actually enjoying it and I actually am. I'm so happy and I think I'm way too happy that sometimes the pessimistic side of me makes me think something gonna go wrong (yeah I'm that bad). But I decided to stop a long time ago - it's not worth it fearing something that might or might not happen. I just love our life together and am enjoying it!

Here's our picture (I'm so fat, I know!)

Here are the wives (or at least the first four from the left) :)

And here are the husbands...

Goodnight for now...

Ever After

Here's a two-page layout I created for the September sketch challenge over at Scrapbooks & Stuff Blog. This is my first time to create a two-page layout and I have to admit it was definitely more challenging than the one page LO but I enjoyed the process.

Here's the sketch:

I used mostly the DCWV La Creme line. It does fit well for our wedding pictures. These were our shots at the Church and this day was just unforgettable for me.

The journaling was from our wedding song "I don't want to miss a thing." Yes, that's our song and its by Aerosmith. But if you listed closely to the lyrics it's just perfect.

Journaling: I just want to stay with you in this moment forever.

Rey & Riss Wedding

Sunday started early for the two of us. We decided to have breakfast at Wai Ying. This is in Ongpin and yes we do travel this far for good food! We just love food! :) We left around 8:30am.
We went with my mom, sis and Nathan (my adorable and kiti kiti nephew!). Dimsum galore that what I call it when we go here. We also discovered a new dimsum - Ham Soi Kok. We loved it when Kuya Obet ordered it in Hong Kong. It was not as good as what we had in HK but it was pretty close. So one more reason for us to go back there. :)
We got a bit late at Rey (my former boss) and Riss' Wedding but we made it anyway. We were there at the picture taking! Which is what matters most! JK! Went straight to Blue Leaf for the reception. We got nice pictures at the photo booth, here they are.
Since the wedding started at 2pm, we anticipated that it would finish early so we packed casual clothes and went straight to Boni High. We were just strolling around the area and fortunately we found a black mailman's bag! We've been looking for a really good bag that's just the right size and we finally found one at Aldo. Hon also bought 2 long sleeve shirts at Sisley - he couldn't resist it because they look really really good on him. Take note, he already has about 15 long sleeve shirts. His closet is actually more full than mine! That's a shame on me isn't it? I don't mind though - my scrap stuff occupies one whole room anyway. haha

When we got tired we just sat beside one of the fountains in the middle while eating my fro-yo. And we talked a bit longer than usual under the night sky that was surprisingly clear that day. We don't actually do that, randomly sit at a park or something with lots of people around us. So all in all, it was a rare and unforgettable day for me. I had so much fun.

Beauty...

Here's a layout I finished tonight. It was still one of my pictures from the wedding. I just love this picture because it inspires me to create.

Weekend Recap...

The weekend went by so quickly!

Saturday: Left around 2:40pm last saturday for a kiddie party. It was far! It was in the outskirts of San Mateo! And so we arrived there at around 3:45 already. Nathan (my newphew), really liked the spongebob balloons all over the place. Of course he couldn't join the games yet so he was just squirming a lot. Sadly we had to leave soon 4:45pm coz of the wedding we got to go to. Changed clothes and freshen a bit when we got home and went straight to the wedding, we're really lucky coz there was no traffic at all. So we got there (Edsa Shangrila) at exactly 6pm and the wedding was about to start.
It was a small christian wedding, which is a first for me. Haven't really attended any christian wedding but it was really solemn and intimate. The groom, Vic, is actually hubby's org mate in college. The wedding was also unique in that the theme is actually black and white. The bride was wearing a black top and white bottom gown. So unique and extraordinary!
Here's our pics!

Sunday: We slept late the other night, watched Survivor-Palau 'til 2am! And so we woke up around 1130am, had lunch immediately and headed to Araneta for the DLSU vs. AdMU game. The game is not until 5pm but we had to go early for fear of losing parking space which is normal on an archers vs. eagles games. It started on time, there was an opening prayer dedicated to President Cory Aquino, around 80% of the crowd were actually wearing yellow shirst instead of their school colors to show unity.

The game was awesome although we (DLSU) didn't win. We dominated the game for 36 mins! Which was incredible because we are the underdogs! Nobody was expecting it because of the Ateneo giants which La Salle does not have. I guess that was what's fun about it, since nobody really expected La Salle would dominate the game that long everybody was just jumping around and amazed by what we were seeing. That alone is already a win. Animo La Salle!!
