Do you want to scrap a layout like this? I’m now hosting the Cookie Decorating Challenge over at SSD and if you want to know how to scrap, I suggest you use templates first. A template is a file that has the design laid out for you — you just need to choose the photos, papers and the journaling! It is very easy to do. When I run out of creative mojo or if pressed for time, I use templates a lot. The instructions are already included in the download you will be getting.

OK. So far, I havent been doing as many layouts as I like and as I should but I have more kits. Every week I download almost a gig of stuff, I can easily have a DVD worth of kits per month. I try to match that photo-wise but sometimes I only end up with about 3GB . I really need to get an external hard drive soon. Maybe next month (Hay, walang katapusan!). I cannot just let them in DVDs, most especially the pictures, since DVDs also have a shelf life. I want to see them (and have convenient access) everytime I make a layout too.

If you see any great deals on 500GB EHDs, lemme know!

Beware .

Well, Im not a really overly sentimental person and my sweetness is as moody as my personality so Im not really a very consistent person to deal with, LOL. If I find somebody who can tolerate all that, Im thankful and consider myself blessed already . So I had to do this layout. I was forever trying to put this off since we havent had an opportunity to take picture of us together – the first time we met I was 6 months pregnant and tired all the time – but I guess it’s now or never!

To you Mare! Let’s go on a diet and be on size 12s this August so we can take pretty pictures together, LOL.

Digital Scrapbooking by far has been my most addicting hobby yet. I have over 20 DVDs worth of kits, endless subscriptions to newsletters, spend an insane amount at digital scrapforums and have even formed a group for Filipina scrapbookers! I am loving it!

Did you read the blinkie? Design + Charity = Happiness

Songbird Avenue is a concept made by Meredith Fenwick and Jan Crowley that produces one kit per month on collaboration with a guest designer. The kit is sold for a month and all proceeds go to the chosen charity for the month.

I so love the spirit of charity, sisterhood and love among the digital community. If ever you want to help, you can donate at the site and purchase the kit, a collaboration with THE Shabby Princess. The charity of the month is March of Dimes.

Im going to purchase the kit soon, and plan to purchase each kit every month.

As part of my monthly round ups, one of the questions I need to answer is what were my reads for the said month. Since January, I have not read anything but magazines, specifically scrapbooking magazines – Creating Keepsakes, Simple Scrapbooks, BHG Scrapbooks Etc. It does not help that there is now a local distributor of the magazines in our country. It reminds of my post-maternity days when I would buy magazines by bulk per month – Yes!, Smart Parenting, Good Housekeeping and the occasional wedding magazine. During college, I was so into Cosmopolitan and Preview. If I can afford it, I would be In Style as well.

Yes, Im a magazine junkie in the truest sense of the word. I love reading articles, browsing through eye candy. Im one of the few weird people who read magazines from back to front, and look at pictures first, then read articles after a day or two.

I have not read a fully engaging book in a year. I resolve to change my mindset. Can you please give me any book recommendations? Tell me the storyline and and if it fits right in my taste, Ill be sure to read it! Thanks!

After more than a month of waiting, I finally got it!

The Canon Rebel xTi

It arrived last Saturday but we just got it last Monday (03.26.07). So far, we already have around 300 shots taken, mostly by Edil. He was more excited than I am and has been fiddling with it every chance he gets. It’s a good thing though since I get to be in the pictures for once.

Is it worth it? Oooooh yes, definitely . Moving shots of Martha have never been clearer. I need more tutorials though how to shoot manually.

Thanks again, Glo! Who would have though having a pink and brown wedding would lead us to have this kind of friendship?
