Im going to be filling you up with a slew of layouts (I think 10) and a lot of good news so stay tuned!
In other completely unrelated news, I read in my daily fix of paparazzi Holywood gossip web sites that an actress did another job on her nose and availed of Northern Virginia plastic surgery. Seriously, I hope her nose doesnt fall off. I think this is her fourth already – if Hollywood gossip is right 
I got to play with Songbird’s Avenues July Kit – Euphoria. As I’ve already mentioned, this month’s chosen charity – Fisher’s Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation – is very close to my heart. My maternal grandmother suffered from Alzheimer’s for 10 years and it was very hard for us.

They are having a contest with the kit. We just scraplift any of Gina Miller’s layouts and we get a matching mini kit for free and stand a chance to win GCs! I hope I win something!
If you must know one thing about my scrapping, one is that I am a certified Gina Cabrera addict. I buy all her stuff the day it comes out. Now, Im just going to get the few I have not had the chance to get – like 2 of them 
. Im going to get the mono packs too.
You should see me!
Im so hyperventilating!
Another one from me, you will see a lot of layouts from me this week as I have been scrapping like a madwoman .
Here is a layout based on the SSD Recipe Challenge. I have loved the pictures of us when we went swimming to Sariaya, Quezon last June. There were yellow flowers everywhere so it was pretty guilt-free to pluck so many Martha loved them – and the flowers seem to bloom when we wore them tucked behind our ears. Good memories
Im hosting this week’s Scrap with the SugarBabes Challenge over at SSD. I hope you can join!
For this week, we would like you to scrap with us documenting your family’s special names – not the usual names you call them with, their nicknames, but the names that were brought about by special traits, special events, things they do or usually say .
So maybe the word “Fish” or “Bugs” mean ordinary for somebody else, but it is meaningful for you. My cousin called her daughter “Bugs” or “Buggaboo” lovingly, because she usually “bugs” her when she is in the middle of something else .
..that a lot of collab kits and awesome mega super duper contest is in the works If you know the teams Im in you will have a firsthand guess as to which it is. Im personally so psyched to be part of it all and cant wait for the big reveal!
We will be just be staying in the house this weekend so I plan to scrap – hopefully! I have been busy with grouping my pictures with Nancy Comelab’s frames so I can just embellish it on canvas today and tomorrow.
I think I have somehow lost sight of why I scrap. These days, it is all about getting and buying and meeting CT requirements and scrapping with the trends. While of these are fine, sometimes I just need to scrap because I need to preserve a memory, you know.
And that is what Ill do this weekend.
We just received our first assignment: White Custom Balance.
Abie is a real pro. She even has examples to show us.
I plan to get the Rebel working by tomorrow. To demonstrate white balance, I need something colorful, maybe Matthew’s colors or a scarf.
I really plan to get serious on this thing.
Wish me luck!
I have so many pictures of Martha having that same look, either she has that finger up her nose or in her mouth. Sometimes, her eyes has one of them closed (kirat), or she has her mouth open with drool coming out, LOL. But I still think she is so stinking cute! Dont you agree?
I used Natalie Braxton’s awesome Ribbon Fastened Frames on this one.
You can also get awesome cardboard stuff at the Pad. Check them out!
Just a little trivia for you: Do you know that digital cameras are on top of every wishlist for special occassions – holidays, birthdays, special achievements (graduation, promotion at the office, etc.). As a digital scrapper, I have longed to have a digital SLR camera to be able to really capture moments with good lighting, no shutter lag, more flexibility. I have two cameras – a point and shot, Kodak EasyShare V530 and the Canon Digital Rebel xTi (Canon 400D). I absolutely love both. The Rebel I primarily use when going out with the kids, I cannot believe how clear and crisp and how much action shots it can take quite well. Im fairly satisfied with my digital cameras already – now, I only need to know how maximize its use by learning how to do manual shooting!
