1st accordion album

Last June 30, 2007, we had a baby shower for my sis odette and her husband Abe. We asked the guests to write down a brief intro and message for Baby Sam on small sheets of my (scrapbook) papers. After 1 million years, i finally found the time to compile the cards and make an accordion album (album bought at National bookstore at P16 pesos only!). Since I didnt have the luxury of time, I decided to put only a few embellishments, basically just photo corners. The outcome is good because the messages are already on patterned papers.. =)

Gave it to my sis a few hours ago, she loved it. :)

xmas cards

In pinoyscrapbookers, scrappers are given one whole month to work on a challenge. I dont know what got into me and decided to make an entry 45 mins before the deadline..

This month's challenge is a handmade card showcasing one's family picture. Since I am starting with traditional scrap and have an updated family picture (from xmas a few days ago), i gave it a shot. But given the time pressure and the lack of trad scrap knowledge, i ended up with this one:

I'm really not happy with my work. i know couldve done better.

So to give justice to our family pic, i made a digital card for the meantime. So that this won't be classified as a waste of time, I sent this to my relatives and friends abroad. :)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Materials used:

My 20-year old mom

We recently discovered this wallet-sized picture of my mom taken 40 years ago. My husband did a great job restoring it and I now have an 8x10 high res file :) I'll have it framed for her bday tom. She's really pretty. =)
