Clip Arts and Background: Leaves Version 3

Clip Arts: Unicorn Set

BG: Cacti Thorny

Two days ago, I posted a blog with my Cacti Thorny Clip art set. There were three cacti PNG images inside the set and I hope you liked them! If you missed it here's a direct link: Clip Arts : Cacti Thorny

I always tend to make a pattern out of the clip arts I make so I am sharing today four background images made out of the clip arts and which I created a pattern on Adobe Photoshop. I am still having a challenging time laying out these clip arts so they could make into pretty patterns. Perhaps in the future, I'll get used to adding different items and arranging them so they could be a good pattern.

Clip Arts : Cacti Thorny

I am not yet done with my Cacti or Cactus addiction. I have been seeing cacti around the internet and so I made another set. This time with more thorns and more darker in color.

This is created using my iPad's Procreate application and I definitely had fun making them. There are three cacti in this set and guess what? Of course, I am going to make a background image set as well using these cacti thorny set.

BG: Three Cacti

An enhanced quarantine is being imposed in our community here in the Philippines and so most of us are just inside our homes. My husband and I have jobs online and so we are both working from home. Due to this, we both have a lot of time to do certain things and one of the things that I really enjoy is making digital scrapbook and clip arts.

A few days ago, I posted the Clip Arts: Cactus and I hope you guys liked it. Its all free so you should be able to download them. Today, I am posting the background images pack for these clip arts which were turned into patterns.

Clip Arts: Cactus

I realized I never had any cactus clip arts on this blog so I decided to reuse this cactus that I had created a few weeks ago. I made a GIF out of it so I just sent the PSD file, cut some of them out of the file and created an individual PNG file. There are three different skins but the cactus are of the same shape.

I am planning to create more cactus shapes in the next few days. I hope I can make them. I added these tasks on my bullet journal and I am just praying that I could make use of this community quarantine to really tick those to do items off my list. I still have other tasks on the list but I believe I will be able to do them soon.

BG : Tuesday Flower Pack

As promised, here's a new background image set made out of the flowers which I had created yesterday. I used the Procreate application on my iPad to draw this with the help of an YouTuber whom I found on Instagram, Teela of EveryTuesday and that's why I named this as Tuesday Flowers.

Clip Arts: Tuesday Flowers

Hey guys! I am so excited to share some new clip arts I made from Procreate. Actually, I am still learning about using the app and with the help of some online tutorials, I was able to create a new set of flowers today and I am giving it out for free of course.

This was so fun to create and I hope to make other types of flowers in the future with just the tablet. I love that I can share this with you all and I look forward to create a scrapbook layout from these flowers in the near future.

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.

Birthday Cake Banner : Aiesha

It's been awhile since I posted here, I missed scrapbooking though digitally and so I thought I should revive this blog. It started with me re-uploading all these free scrapbook elements and layouts which I had posted before, and now, I am here posting new ideas! Well, actually, it was not my plan to post this early as I am not yet done restoring all the old post contents, I thought I should share some of these things because, I was pumped to do so.

My niece, remember those birthday tarpaulin designs I made before for my niece? Yes, she's already 10 years old two days ago and we are going to celebrate her birthday together with two other celebrants by the weekend at a resort in Panglao and Loon, Bohol.

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 : Imbalanced Cake for Me

Cakes represent celebrations, may it be a birthday, anniversary, graduation, Christmas and etc. Since my birthday is around the corner, I would like to start celebrating it through a digital cake I made years ago. As I was scrolling on the photoshop files I had saved on my external drive, looking for the cupcake invitation layout I made for my niece's birthday, I ended up finishing this imbalanced cake. It showed that the last day it was modified was January 9, 2012. This made me thought why I never had finished this cake last year then. I was thinking it could be because I wasn't satisfied with how it become but today, I never realized it is worth posting here.

This will look great in a Birthday invitation letter, which I might be making soon. I had forgotten where I saved my niece's birthday invitation for her 3rd birthday celebration this February so I guess I will be making up one soon too! Hopefully I will be able to find it as soon as possible so I won't start from scratch.

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: The Kissing Cockatoo

When we were in Manila zoo last September, we came upon a small stall where friendly birds were staying. They call their part Angry Birds inspired from the famous angry bird game however, those birds were not angry though, instead they are the friendliest birds I met so far. And what so cute  about them was that they kiss!

Look at our faces in the pictures! We are definitely happy by the time the white Cockatoo kissed each of us. My mom wouldn't stop laughing too! And so I thought of making a scrapbook photo for us then with our kissing Cockatoo.

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!
