Digital Lettering: Day 11 of #30daysofbiblelettering Challenge

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Family Notes

“Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.” —Brad Henry

I made a new scrapbook layout idea after number of years of hiatus. Please accept my apologies for this. I am glad that I still have this blog to keep up when things get easier and less busier for me. There were so many things that had happened throughout the years. I can't remember the last time I had posted a scrapbook layout here and I almost lost the courage to update this but here I am again, seven years after, with a huge belly now because I am pregnant, yes I got married in the year 2015, then I had an ectopic pregnancy on 2017 and finally got pregnant again last year 2019.

Now that I am taking these lightly, I finally got the chance to make a comeback and create digital scrapbooks once again which is my first love.

BG: Chevron Part 2

Yay, I got some more time to post a new background image for this day aside from the photo template and I am loving it because my Friday has been a bit productive. Even though there are some negative part of my day, I am glad that making these gave me sunshine in my dark day. I have some heart issues today though, I mean some kind of love life issues, maybe this is because of the long distance relationship that I have that I am feeling this way but hopefully, I could get over this soon.

Anyways, I made these background images long before but I forgot to post them that time. So, here are four of the chevron background images in my disk and you are free to download them to your own personal computers as well.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: My Baby Love

Hello everyone! Here's a new entry for July, I seldom post because of work but I was able to make one today because of my little niece's pictures. I had these photos published in my Facebook account before she turned two last February of this year.

Now that I am far from the family, I am missing this little kid. I could not take photographs of her anymore. She started going to school now and I learned from my parents that she has been doing good in school. She's in a private kindergarten school and there are only five of them in the morning class and she has been excelling for the past few weeks of school. I am so proud of my niece.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Love Peace Music

I made this template more than two months ago when I was still in the Philippines and I don't have any work anymore, I got the chance of making a couple of templates for me and James as well as for my niece and family. When I arrived in Dubai and started looking for job until I landed on a job, I was never been able to post anything anymore in this blog site which made me really miss blogging. I am thankful to Ramadan because I have spare time after work since we are just gonna work for only six hours plus a mandatory two hour overtime so I am just working eight hours per day.

So since it is also my rest day today and I don't have any other things to do, I got the chance to post something for my scrap-booking website, this just made my day! 

The photos in the template were taken way before I resigned from my job in Cebu. James and I together with some friends went to have some karaoke session and our good friend, Carlo took these portraits of us together. I thought these photos are worth to be added on a scrapbook template and I was never wrong indeed.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Perfect Moment

Hello guys! I want to let you all know that I am now residing here in Al Satwa Dubai. It's my first week and things are totally different, the place, the people, the technology and most specially the weather.

The reason why I am posting this is mainly because I am missing my best friend, my boyfriend for almost five years now and my confidante. He is the only person whom I can trust everything, though I have close friends whom I also share my secrets but James is the only person who I can tell everything under the sun and I am confident that these conversation stays within ourselves. I am missing him especially when I go roam around the city, I remember the times when we go travel together too in the Philippines. I wish I can let him see what I am seeing right now and share with him my thoughts while riding on the trains or the buses. And when I watched the dancing fountain here in Dubai in front of Burj Khalifa building, the tallest hotel in the whole world, I really want him with me but unfortunately, it’s impossible that time.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Through The Years

Two months - looking at my last post made me sad today, it was dated February 3, 2013 and today, it's been two long months that I hadn't updated this blog here. I was indeed busy for the past two months, a lot of stuffs happened and there are soo many different changes of my life with that span of time. First was that I resigned from my four year work as a customer agent representative last April 15, 2013. I started working in the call center right after college, year 2009 and this was my ever first job experience. Though the job has given me enough for my needs, I have a family who also needs and I want to save as well so I finally decided to go to a foreign country for work. My brother is already there and he is preparing my papers for my flight. I will soon be going there this May and I am excited yet quiet scared about the thought.

Glad I earned some inspiration in making two scrapbook pages today. Because I am leaving my boyfriend behind, I am making some our photographs into scrapbook pages. I hope I'll get the time and courage to print all of these pages I made soon. We have been in this relationship since college, that's almost five years. The photos here shows how we evolved, teehee.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Vintage Postcard

I have this special kind of love for anything vintage, I may have already shared this before and that I foresee the future of me collecting things like this since before. And because of that, I enjoy making scrapbook layouts with a vintage theme on it. It makes me want to go to the old times, though I am not a history-fan.

Therefore, I made up this vintage-inspired scrapbook layout yesterday, I have this script background image which I use for my background and found this cute postcard image via the internet and made it as the main ingredient on this specific lay out. I already forgot where I downloaded this one, there’s a variety of vintage postcards in that site but I regret that I never bookmarked it. Tsk tsk tsk…

The photos has been edited with a pre-made action in Photoshop, there are thousands if not millions of actions in Photoshop which can be downloaded via the internet if you just try to search for it. I have downloaded tons of them before but haven’t tried checking on all of them or even used them so far. In case you aren’t familiar with actions yet, it can be compared to a template, except that it can be played again and again to give a specific effect to a certain picture. This one that I used here is named Coffee, I had to delete some of the layers of the action which had suit how I like it to be.

Clip Arts: Three Hearty Cupcakes

This morning a colleague was selling banana muffins in the office and I bought two,for me and for James. While eating it after lunch, for some reasons I got inspired to make cupcake or muffin clip arts. And so here they are! Freshly baked cupcakes I just made today out from the background image patterns I had published before.

It's kind of weird though because cupcakes has something in them which makes me really happy. Whenever I see one,  specially something which has cute design on them make me really buy them and the crazy thing about it is that I don't want to eat them, if I could, I would just store them in the refrigerator. 

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Jesil + Bambie

Their special day was unforgettable, the function hall became a mystic place not just for the couple but also for every one who witnessed their wedding day. I, personally loved their theme, Country Side inspired by where Jesil come from, in Bukidnon. He grew as a country boy and left it for Luzon for his calling. They call their wedding a Blessing - they never thought they could get this type of wedding with so little budget in hand. Bambi told me the mason glasses were not bought but were just giveaways from their family friends and relatives. She herself spent days and months of cleaning them, brushing with steel brush so it would look brand new. I never thought those were simply mayo bottles! How resourceful they were!

The Love story - He likes her, she ignores him. He courted her, she left for Thailand. He left for Visayas, she started liking him. He pursued her, she started praying. He proposed and she said YES!

Scrapbook Layout Idea: We Fly Together

Extremely Excited - that was my emotions when we were on our way towards the Cebu Pacific Airplane bound to Manila last September 7, 2012. This will be James' and mine's first air travel. I definitely had completed the three ways of transportation, land, water and air! What's so nice about it was that I was with the ones I love, my family and James too!

Though we were not seated next to each other, it never stopped us to take our photos together. I am glad that we had to walk down to the plane because we had the chance to take a photo with the plane at our back.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Wacky Aiesha

The last scrapbook page I had posted was like two months ago, Cupcake = Happiness. I know it was because of the Polka dot series I made last August which had extended until this month of September and that's why I am so excited to share some of what I had made recently.

And to start of, I have here the wacky photos of my niece, Aiesha so I named it Wacky Aiesha. She is a big girl now and is very talkative. Time swifts so fast that those dresses and shoes I gave her as a gift are now too small to her. She has learned many many funny things too. She can converse with me and anybody else now and she is just very bubbly. I have no dull moments when I am with her. 

BG: Polka Dot Circle O9

It's more than a week since my Manila Trip, I was thinking my scheduled posts were up to this week and was just surprised when I got to check this blog. It saddened me to see my previous post to be the eighth of the month. Anyways, I have to move on and keep up so I am now starting with this polka circle, this is by the way the last pack of my Polka circle series. I am just happy that I got to share all of them in nine series for the months of August and September!

So nonetheless, I present to you the final set! Hope you had enjoyed the whole series and keep updated with the future series which I will be sharing in the near future!

You guys really rock my artistic world! Thanks for encouraging me to make more and more scraps and digital scrap booking kits! You have a good one!

It's September and here in the Philippines, it means it's the start of the Christmas season! Yes, if you're reading from the other end of the globe, you might have heard that our country is the only country which celebrates Christmas this long. And September is just a soft launch as others say.

I can hear carols now even at this day and I am hearing the radios playing Christmas songs too! The best thing about this season is the presents!

Third of my Polka Dot Circle are the colors: Light yellow over dark yellow, Black over dirty white, Light blue over Gray and pink over gray.

Enjoy!

BG : Polka Dot Circle O2

The lovely month of August was filled with a bit sadness because of the news coming out about our country experiencing some tragedies because of the effect of the southwest monsoon.

Though this has been happening, I would still like to share a great love to each of my readers with my Polka Dot circle. I wasn't able to share it last week because of some immediate out of town plans with the barkada (circle of friends).

BG : The August Polka Dot Circle

It's almost August, oh how fast time goes and July is on its way out. I am excited since August is a special month for me because James and I will be celebrating our fourth anniversary as partners. Aside from that, August is also my mom's birth month and so because of this, I had come up of a circle which will go through the whole month and so, I call it August Polka dot circle. You all know that I love polka dots and what ever polka design, I will surely die for it.

I hope all of you will love it the same way as how I love them too! Every week, I will be posting either two or three packs of high definition polka dot back ground images and all of them will be given for free. It's all up to you, this is a gift I want to share to everyone.

Don't forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter too! I would greatly appreciate it if you will follow my blog too! I have a lot of freebies to everyone that your drives will surely get full because of it.

Scrapbook Lay Out Idea: Our New Baby Mia

Not just a month ago, James and I purchased our new baby, a Honda XRM Road Sport which we named "Mia". She is a red, slimmed bodied motorcycle and we love her. Today, I made a new scrapbook page for Mia and I included both our head gears or helmets too!  I had a previous one which James eventually lost himself but it's OK actually since I was able to get a new one, this time, a white one.

So these photographs were taken when the team went to the hills of Busay last three weeks ago.

I used Century Gothic and Dancing Script as my fonts on this scrapbook page. And the background is an image I created myself. You can download it through my free background images posts.

BG: P I N K

Summer's all done here in our country, we are now on our rainy season and that going out of town or travelling is really not a good idea, staying at home is always recommended. There has been a couple of storms passed by and good thing we haven't experience floods yet. 

On times like this, I love to just simply sit on my couch and make my scrapbook stuff, the digital one. Not that I don't like the old style but I would rather stay clean these days. I still have my traditional scrapbooks with me, last one I created was during college years and I still have it kept in a safe place. I don't want to leave this thing because this is what makes me remember and treasure college.

Now, since it's raining outside and I want to share something today yet I don't have any scrapbook templates left in my drive, I will just share what's left on my background images. So today, be Pink and download these four high resolution Pink-themed background pngs.
