So Techie- Memory Nest no. 48

Hello everyone!

When you  have pets, you may have experienced this: You are busy with doing something and your dog needs your attention. Because you are so engrossed in your task, you try to ignore their pleas for attention.  But your dog is so smart, she knows the best way to distract you.  So for her to solve her attention problem, she releases her secret weapon... she suddenly jumps into your lap (her surprise attack).  Problem solved. She has your full attention now.  My princess is so smart and cute, how can I ignore her now.  I love this picture of us where she tried and successfully had my full attention to her.  She even looks good pretending to use the keyboard!  Well for the Memory Nest Make it Monday no. 48, I present to you my techie doggie.  Hope you enjoy my take on the sketch!

Finishers!-Sketches in Thyme #169

Hello Everyone!

For the Sketches in Thyme # 169 challenge, I decided to use the photos from the recent fun run that I have joined with my co workers last September which was the Justice League Run.  We all had a lot fun wearing the DC comics inspired singlets.  Of course, I chose to wear Wonder Woman (girl power!). We all had an amazing time and at the same time participated in a healthy activity!  The one beside me is one of my closest officemate, Em.  Even though we were so tired (she ran for 10K, me for 3K only..:D), we still had the energy to smile and be wacky after the run. Hope you will enjoy my take on the layout!

Girls day out!-Stuck?! October 15 Challenge

Hello everyone!

It's almost the end of the month and I still have a lot of layouts to do so that I could de-congest my stash of pictures.  I am so glad that there are these challenge sites because it give me a reason to layout and also to motivate me to show to the world my art.  For this layout, I call this "Girls day out".  It's a picture taken during the time me, my "coutwin" (we're cousins but many would comment that we look the same like twins) and my mom went aboard the M.V. Logos Hope.  M.V. Logos Hope the world's largest floating library and bookstore that had docked in our city last May.  For a bookworm like, entering the ship is like entering into paradise!  There are a lot of books to choose from, whatever genre you may be into.  And the books are really affordable too!  The crews of the ship are from different parts of the world.  We all had a great day browsing the books (and buying some..hehe), touring the ship and of course, eating at their cafe where they served some very yummy ice cream.  It was also a great way bond with my mother and cousin.  The sketch I use is from the Stuck?! October 15 Challenge.  I hope you enjoy my layout!

Nifty Beauty-Let's Get Sketchy October week 3

Hello everyone!

I want to share to you my layout for the October week 3 challenge at Let's Get Sketchy.  I used a photo of me and my dog, Beauty.  She is the mother of my 3 other dogs.  A mix of Japanese-spitz, I have had her since 2008.  Of all my dogs, she is the most affectionate.  I can describe her as prim and proper (actually she acts like the queen of the household!).  She doesn't like to get dirty so every time I walk her around the neighborhood, she avoids muddy paths. When she is resting, she does not like to be disturbed by my other dogs (she growls when they are getting rowdy) but despite that she is a great mother.  She nurtures all her kids even if they are not puppies anymore.  She also has this sense of sympathy that every time I am feeling down, she just comes over to me and puts her head on my lap or feet, letting you know that she's always there.  I treasure every moment with her because unlike some people, she will always be there for you no matter what happens and does not expect something in return.  All she needs is a bit of your attention and of course your love and she will be happy.  For me, my queen Beauty is not only a pet but a part of my family.  I hope you enjoy my layout!

Wonder Woman - Scraptoberfest!

Hello Everyone!

I want to share to all of you my entry for the scraptoberfest by Challenge YOUrself, Scrap Our Stash, My Scraps and More and The Memory Nest.  I used my photo taken during the Justice League Run last September.  Lately, I have come to realize that I also need to be more active, to exercise more since I am not getting any younger anymore.  Good thing our company has this club wherein I would be able to indulge in running.  So when it was announced that there would be a fun run (justice league run), I did not hesitate to join it.  Their singlets were so cool, it was based on the DC superheroes! I mean, who wouldn't want to be a super hero right? The superhero I chose was of course Wonder Woman.  I had a lot of fun during the activity and I ran for 3K.  It was tiring but rewarding.  Not only did I had fun but also I had indulged in an activity that is beneficial to my health! So here is my picture, my souvenir for being wonder woman for a day!  I hope you enjoy my layout.

Selfie-Scrapmuch?

Hello Everyone!

With the emergence of many smartphones, taking pictures is now an easy thing to do.  I admit, sometimes when vanity strikes, I oftentimes takes selfies though I rarely post them in my facebook account.  Especially when I am bored in the office, I take a couple of selfies just for fun.  Anyways, I loved this two selfies of mine that I decided to print it and make it a subject in my layout. So for the Scrapmuch October challenge, I thought it would be great thing to use them.  I loved the combination of laces, flowers and doilies in my layout.  It clearly describes me, girly and sweet.  I do hope you all will enjoy my layout!

Her Royal Highness-Sketches in Thyme #168

Hey guys!

I want to share to you another layout featuring one of my doggies.  Her name is princess hence the title, her royal highness.  Her name fits so perfectly.  She is always poised and is never rowdy.  When she sleeps, she needs to sleep beside my mom and never on the floor.  When she thinks that I am always busy and is ignoring her, she climbs on my lap to be petted.  Especially when I am crafting (I oftentimes lose track of time when scrapbooking), she looks at me with those big doggie-eyes that I have no choice but to stop whatever I am doing and play with her.  I adore her so much and I know that she loves unconditionally... Anyways, here is my layout based on the Sketches in Thyme #168.  Hope you all like it!

Puppy Love-sketches in thyme #167

Hello everyone!

Taking the perfect photo of your dog is such an arduous task.  You have time your shot just in time he is facing the camera.  Especially if your dog is like my panda 'wonder' bear.  Although he looks just like an angel but trust me, he can be the most hyper puppy ever.  I was lucky enough to snap a photo of him while he was resting after running around the room and it was a perfect.  I love how fluffy and candid he looks in this photo that's why I had to make it a subject in one of my layouts! So here is my entry in the Sketches in Thyme for October featuring my ever spunky panda bear!

Man's best friend-Stuck?! October Challenge

Hello Everyone!

For this month, I am going to feature my pets as my subjects for my various layouts.  As a kid, I grew up having pets as my companions.  I am an only child and because my parents were busy at that time with our business, my pets became my playmates!  Until now, I always have a soft spot for them, especially dogs!  People who close to me knows how much I adore them.  I treat them as my babies!  Currently, I have four dogs, two males and two females.  All them have a mix breed of japanese spitz and maltese and I absolutely love them.  It really feels great when you get home after a long days work and they will welcome you enthusiastically!  I really believe that dogs can love you unconditionally and will always be there for you. So here's my layout based on the Stuck?! October Challenge.  Hope you enjoy them!

 

By the way, the subject in my layout is one of my pets.  When he was born, he used to have two black spots in his eyes, that is why I named him Panda Bear.  But as he grew the black spots disappeared.  :)

Work friends-Stick it Down October Challenge

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing to you a layout I made based on the Stick it Down October challenge.  I used a lot of mini pictures taken when our Head Office colleagues visited us for the yearly audit of our branch.  After a stressful checking of various documents, we all decided to chill and bond for the night.  Since the both of them are from Manila, we decided to show them around some of the popular tourist spots in our city.   After a sumptuous dinner, we then proceeded to Tops in Busay, Cebu.  Tops is a beautiful place wherein it gives you an overlooking view of the whole city.  It's pretty cool at night too, the city lights is amazing.  We had a lot of fun, taking pictures and enjoying the cool air and for a while we were able to bond before they will go back to Manila.  I hope you all enjoy my layout! I loved using the laces and the pearl beads in my project and the doily just adds a nice touch.

Thanks for viewing!
