ITS 2014??

SIGH!! It's been two long years, since I've updated this blog. Two long years, that I have not made ANY scrapping layout..

I really miss creating! I miss designing a page layout! I miss buying kits and template! I miss tinkering with my Photoshop! (I don't know if I still know how to use it, LOL!).

So much has happened in our little family, that my hobby took a VERY FAR backseat. :(
We moved from Bangkok, TH, to Chandler, AZ. Meaning, new place, new job, new friends, new school, new challenges and new adventures for each of the Agustins. And, to top that, I'm no longer a SAHM, but again a working-mom, after more that 10 years of staying at home. So much to undergo, in a span of 2 years. Working means, I don't have much free time to indulge in my (secret) addiction, scrapping!

Well, I think we've relatively had adjusted to our new life here. I hope I get to have that free time again to do my scrap/craft again in the near future. But for now, this is all I can do as an update on this blog.

'Till next post!

Hope you find inspirations with these pages..

Ciao for now!

Froggie Leap!!

Hello, digi scrapping-world!! Its been a while since I’ve shared with you my layouts.. Real life got in the way of my scrapping time, so, no shiny-shinies in the last 2-3 months.. But, that’s in the past now.. And I’ve got a little bit of news to tell.. I’ve been accepted as one of Little Green Frog’s Guest CT for March, and it’s a call that I have been waiting for a while, since I reaaaaalllllllllyyy love her templates! (Can’t you tell? ;p). I am really grateful that she chose me, so it really got me my mojo back to creating layouts again! So, here I am to showoff some of my pages using her newly released template packs!

First, is a collaboration pack with Cluster Queen Creations. It’s a template pack of 8 two-pager layouts. I love this pack because its soooo perfect for those event/gatherings wherein we tend to shoot so many photos, and you really want to document it all, this is a perfect template to use/jump start your creativity!

Two by Two

And this page I made was from my youngest DD’s 6th birthday celebration last October, ‘11, using Jady Day Studio’s “A Girl’s Perfect Birthday” bundle.

Next, is an eclectic array of styles and photo options in one pack. It’s really versatile to work with, for those that like to play with layering, simple & clean, clusters or minimalist, you get it all in one pack.

Under the Big Top

And this is my sample page, using another Jady Day Studio kit, “The Ones We Cherish”. Its my family and I during our ride back to our place..

So, what are you waiting for? Go now and snag these, go to the Scrap Orchard Marketplace and buy these gorgeousness! Just click on the links or on the images to be redirected to the store..

Mwah! That’s all for now! See you tomorrow!!

FREEBIES!

Sigh. I really pity this blog of mine. I always abandon 'her', when life gets soooo hectic.. And there's a lot of going on in the home-front, so, my scrapping time is now nada. But, I hope to get back to it, when summer vacation comes. I just hope I'll be able to do it, since by June of this year, we will be facing a new adventure in a new country. Lot's of things again to do, like looking for a house, car, school for the kiddos, a part time job hopefully for me.. Yeah, the whole shebang! More on that new 'adventure' in the coming months (crossing fingers that I even have the time to update this blog! :D ).

Well, onto your freebies.. Actually, this post is just to pimp freebies I made as one of Jady Day Studio's Freebie Babe. Snag these 3 lovelies from her blog (or just click on each individual image to be directed to the post).

Soo, that's all the update I can muster for now.. I hope to pretty-fy this blog again with not just more freebies, but also with my NEW pages.. :D

That's all for now! Ciao!

Heads Up - New freebie!!

Just making a quick post to let you know that there's a new freebie posted at Yari's blog that you can snag! Want to see it now? So, head on to her blog, and snag to your heart's content, hehe!! Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!! Mwah!

Oh! Hello There!!

Yep. I know. You all miss me, and my freebies. And even if it seemed like I've abandoned this blog of mine, it doesn't mean the freebies are stopping...

Well, I don't know if you remembered me saying on my last post that I am one of Jady Day's studio's Freebie Babe. So, if you do miss my freebies, then go over to Jady Day's blog and snag those I've made and even those that Amy (the other JD Freebie Studio Babe) made, which are also full of gorgeousness, hehe! And what more, you could also learn a thing or two, or more from the tutorials that the Tut Babes are posting every week. Plus, you'll get to be updated on Yari's new releases and awesome deals and discounts.. So, go on over her blog, and subscribe to her blog or newsletter. I did post a new freebie last Tuesday.. :)

But, I do have another freebie to giveaway today here.. This was supposed to be for a Template Challenge at 9th & Bloom(thus the packaging), but, since it already closed down before the month this was supposed to be featured, it didn't see the light of day, as the say it. ;) But, here it is now for all you. I hope you like it, and if you are going to use it, I hope you link me to it, so that I could leave you comments. :)

Download @ Mediafire

Download @ Dropbox (direct download)

And here is the page I did as a sample for this template. I used The Beauty Within kit by River Rose; Tatch-It (Circle stitchings) by Brine Designs; Alpha by SuzyQ Scraps.

So, that's all the update I have for now. I've been a little bit busy these days, so I haven't made a page in almost 3 weeks. *SIGH* I hope everything settles down after the holidays, so that I can scrap to my heart's content..

Bye for now! Have a nice weekend!

Hello Peeps!!

Hello peeps! Hope you are all having a blast doing whatever it is you are doing.. Me, I've got exciting things to share to all of you.. YAY!!

First, just to update you all.. I've been busy nowadays, on the scrapping front, as well as in the home front. My kiddos have already gone back to school, regular school that is, after being home-schooled for years (4 years for my eldest DD and 2 years for my youngest). So everyday is a busy day for me now. I have to drop off to school in the morning, and pick them up again in the afternoon. The girls, and even me, are still adjusting to our new schedule and routine. Add to that, we are kinda moving to a different house (although it still in the same apartment complex, just a different unit), so I have packing to add to my loooong lists of to do.. *SIGH*

In the scrapping front, I have been accepted as one of the new 9th & Bloom Creative Crew, an addition to Sugarplum Paperie's CTM, and Jady Day Studio's Freebie Studio Babes.. Yeah, I hear you, I think I am a bit crazy, taking on more scrapping gigs, LOL! But, after all, I will have more free time for scrapping, once the move is done and we get the hang of our new daily routines, so I think it is doable.. :p

Speaking of being a Freebie Studio Babe for Jady Day Studio, you may want to visit/subscribe in her blog.  We have tutorials, awesome deals and discount for you all, on a weekly basis! And most of all, a freebie every Tuesday! And yesterday, I just posted, my first freebie, using one of Yari's (Jady Day Studio) gorgeous kit! Want to have a peek at what you can have? :)

Just click on the image to be taken to the Studio blog..

So, that's all my update for now, I'll be back for the latest installment of  scrappity dump dump, hehe!

La Gon,

Scrappity Dump & A Blog traaaaaaaiinn..

Hello again!

It’s time for another scrappity dump dump! And here are the new releases of goodies you can find around scrap-digiland.. Oh, and at the end is something noisy called “CHOO, CHOO!!”, so, I think that’s enough to make-up for reading my long ramble-y notes.

First, LorieM Designs has this new set of collection, called Cherish for the Gotta-Grab-It event at Gotta Pixel. Each pack cost only $1.00, but there’s only 2 days left to grab it, so better hurry!!

And here are some inspiration pages from me, using these collection.

I am one of the chosen ones, guesting for SugarPlum Paperie this August, and she has this gorgeous summer-themed collection called Best Summer Ever (Paper Pack & Element Pack), which is part of the BYOC at LilyPad.

And here is a sample page from me:

And, last, and specially not least, May of Siamese Studio has this gorgeous collaboration kit with Trixie Scraps Designs, called ‘Sisterhood Forever’, which is a FWP at Funky Playground Designs, for the month of August, if you are a subscriber of the Funky Club. But you could also purchase it if you are not a member.

And, to celebrate the awesomeness of this kit, May and her Sumalees are having a BLOG TRAIN!! Choo! Choo! Each of us have created something for you, using or inspired by this by gorgeous kit! Here are the list of the participants and the links to their blogs:

Just click on the image or the link below to have it. . If you like to see what you can do to it, I have a sample page using these freebies.

I think it is versatile enough to make your page unique and your own. You can add more ellies to it, add clusters, so on..

Next stop in the train is one awesome and kind granny, Deanna. Be patient if some of us have not posted their freebies yet, we are from different time zones, after all. And a little word of thanks are VERY, VERY, much appreciated. I hope you like it! And remember, these are for PERSONAL USE ONLY!

So, that’s all for now. See you all next week!

Paalam!

And I am Backkk! (again.)

So, how is every one? I hope you’ve missed my post a little bit, since I’ve been absent for almost FOUR months!

Life has been a little bit busier on the home front. Lots of things that I did not do, when I should have, so it piled up, and before I know it, it already is DEMANDING that I do something. The life of a procrastinator. Heh!

But, I think it really did me good, creative wise, these forced/self exile from scrapping. Now, I am rev up to create more. My mojo is back!! Yehey!!!!!

So, here are my pages, and its time to pimp-out those lovely designers I create for!! Also, at the end, there’s a little something for you for taking the time to read my mumblings..

First, it’s the 5th Birthday celebration of Pickle Berry Pop, and as an annual tradition, all designers there each prepared a Lolly Bag(grab bag) which you can get for only $4,00, that contains tons of gorgeous, lip smacking goodies!

LorieM Designs have 2 lolly bags you can choose from; one commercial use, for those of you who loves to design their own kit; and a personal use one/S4H, which contains 2 kits inside! Want to have a peek of those 2 kits? Then look no further, I have 2 sets of 2-pager layouts I’ve created using those kits.

Aren’t those kits lovely? And, speaking of 2-pager layouts, all the templates I’ve used for those 2 projects were from Kristin’s Scrap Designs. And Kristin also has her own lolly bag full of template pack goodies, one of them I’ve used for the Grand time with Grandmas page. Want to have a little bit more peek with what’s inside the bag? Then, I’ll show you with my pages..

 

These pages are part of the multi-pages template pack.

Last, but not the least, Siamese Studio has another kit for the Funky Club #12: Afternoon Tea, which is the one I used for my Tea Time is Play Time page. It is part of the Funky Club Vol.3 Subscription (where subscribers will receive 16 mini kits for just $10.00), but if you don't want to subscribe, you could purchase the kit individually.

So, that’s my shiny for today.. And, because you made it through the end, I have a freebie for you all, which I made with permission from Siamese Studio, using FC#12: Afternoon Tea kit. Just click on the image or the link to download.

That’s all for now. I hope you like your freebie for this week!
