March 4 giveaway

Thank you for all the lovely comments that I received from all of you. Your comments mean a lot to me and it encourages me to do more and I hope that you will check the giveaways every Friday. Even though I've been busy the past couple of days, I will still have time to hang out with you even for a little bit and we'll have our Fridays for free layouts.

I made this page to be given away on March 4. I love anything vintage, this time I used the kit from Melody Ross Homespun collection. I didn't add a lot of flowers to this layout, just a couple. I added a vintage button and a diecut scissors. I can't find an old pair that I can use for this page, but the charm works well too.

Remember if you want to join, pls. leave me a comment here or the facebook page so I know to include your name in the drawing.

If you want to join the February challenge you still have 'til the 28th of Feb to submit. I have another kit to give away on March. I will give away the kindness kit which I originally wanted to donate, but I didn't get any reply so I will make another challenge in March. I will take more pictures so you have a better idea on what you can win. Pls. join for a chance to win. Since I already have the kit ready I will give it away for a challenge. I will post the details in a few days.

Thanks for being here..
Here's the pictures of what you can win on 3/4

My Webster's Pages Bliss Moment: Being featured in Webster's Pages InspireMe.

I downloaded this layout on WP's InspireMe, a couple of hours later, they e-mailed me saying that I'm one of the featured members this week on their inspireMe website. I am a huge fan of WP, so this is such a nice surprise for me.

Anyway, I made this layout for my husband as a Valetine's Day gift. He's been complaining to me that his new office looked so bare. So on V-day, I made a layout of our 2 kids and attached it to a shadowbox so he can hang it.
The title of this LO is "Bliss", I always want to be reminded that our kids bring such bliss to our lives. I also want to remind my husband that when he's having a bad day at work, he can just look up to their picture and remember that we have a lot to be thankful for. Plus, I love their picture, just caught them laughing over something silly my son, Josh had said, this alone to me is priceless.

See guys soon! Have a good night!

CLICK HERE FOR GALLERY


This was a layout of my kids I made for my mother-in-law as a present for her last Christmas. I gave it to her attached to a shadow box.

I liked the page a lot, so I made one for myself which is displayed in my scrap room. I also submitted this layout for scrappassion challenge blog international. Didn't get the first place, but I'm happy to be one of the top 3. Thank you for picking my layout SCBI!

Butterflies..I love butterflies!!

Here's a layout I made with the picture of my 2 small kids (Alyssa and Joshua) with their favorite aunt, my sister. I love flowers on my pages, so whenever there are flowers as embellishments, most likely I will add butterflies to it. I just happen to go to Michael's a few weeks ago and their spring decorations just came out and found these pastel butterflies. What a good idea to use on layouts or cards! They all come in different colors..Check out Michael's store for butterflies. Sometimes they come with alligator clips or wires, but those are easily removeable.

I used Pink Paislee sweetness paper. Flourish from Tim Holtz grungeboard which I inked with a lilac chalk and dusted with glass glitter. Also snipped silk flowers to add to the fluorish.

New page giveaway for this week

First of all, congratulations to Cristen B. from California for winning last week's page.

Congrats Cristen!!

This week's page still has the valentine's theme to it, winner will be picked randomly on Friday 2/11. Just leave a comment about this page on facebook and you could win this page.

Good luck...
