Design Dollies Monthly Challenge

I found this blog from my friend Dra Chix of LB scrapaholics. Design Dollies has very interesting challenges to take. They run three challenges a week each hosted by a different Dollie and these are Color Challenge , Elements Challenge and Sketch Challenge. I got interested to take the color challenge. This time, they are looking for MONOCHROMATIC BLUES in our projects, any shades of blue. I already did a project similar to this challenge that's why this is no longer new to me. But nevertheless, it is still fun to do this challenge.

Here's my take.



I used here: DCWV PPS, KI Memories lace cardstock, Sizzix die cut alpha-Ponder, and some from own stash- flowers, lace, butterfly, glitter glue.

Here's another one entry for the element challenge: Birthday Gift



I used here: DCWV PPS, Nana Kids cardstock, Sizzix die- balloons, bitty body, bookplate, Heidi Swapp stamp-Birthday, AC thickers- Gift, Glossy accent

Mojo is back!

Last two years had been very tough for me and my family. With all those problems and hardships, we're able to battle all those things and my family are still here through thick and thin. Despite all these, we never forget to thank God for all the simple and big blessings He showered upon us.

Time is moving fast, and it's already third week of January 2010 and I thought I could not make any LO or project before the month ends. Finally, just two hours ago, I was able to scrap one layout before I left for a 3-days vacation at HK. And hopefully this could be a good start for my scrappin' moods to conitnue. Although, it's not yet finish, still have to put the title and some journaling. And beside, my camera is not with me and I can't take a good shots of it. But I'll show a portion of what I did using the camera of this computer.

I'll post a good shot when I come back.




This will be my entry for Scrap, Inspire, Create January Challenge which will be due by Feb 3, 2010.
