Clip Arts and Background: Leaves Version 1

Clip Arts: Unicorn Set

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.

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.

Chevron Background Image

Before, if my mind recalls right, I have a couple of background images inspired from this zigzag type of image. In fact I also had named it zigzag. While writing this post, it makes me laugh at myself because of my terrible memorization skills. I wonder if I have a memory disease, in Jesus Name!

Anyway, the reason why I am recalling it because I had just found a cute blogpost about an illustrator renewing her pair of old Chuck Taylor sneakers. She made chevron designs on it using a plain black marker. Then I just learned that this design should be called chevron and not just the simple zigzag design.

I made these then and I had so much fun making them! I made six color varieties and I am giving them away for free! Yepey! Well, I realize I am always giving my designs for free since then.

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.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: It's our Love Story

Most people say that majority of long relationships end once they reach their fifth year, James and I had been together since we were both in college. And we will soon be celebrating our fifth anniversary this August. I have never been scared about the fifth anniversary thingy but I couldn't help but think about what might happen when that time comes. 

I don't know if I have shared our story to you however, at this point I would like to somehow share a little bit of how we started and how are we right now.

As I been telling you, James and I are college classmates since first year, actually way before first year, I had already spotted him at the DOST summer training. Well, I was  in a relationship that time and so was he so there were no expectations of anything that time. We're in our freshmen year that time when we were being teased about liking each other,  he never looked handsome to my eyes but he was nice and gentleman, that were his points. We went on being friends, share the same group of friends and go like usual barkadas, go out together with the group, hang out at the same places, do project works as a team and until one time, we were in our senior year and both of us were single. One of our buddies started teasing us again and unexpectedly, he was kind of making some efforts to be like someone that makes me think of him at night.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Life is Full

I really miss scrapbooking, my schedule had been hindering me to make one these days. Maybe I just lack inspiration, gladly I got the chance to make up one today with the colored bubble inspired scrapbook lay out. I saw this inspiring paragraph as well from a specific site and I love it because it's super true. Life is full of everyday moments and adventures, embrace them.

Embracing life's adventures is indeed important in our lives, though we have challenges or maybe success, we have to face them with all courage and faith to the One above.

So hopefully, this will as well inspire you and give you the courage to face everyday's challenges. This is as well a free and will serve as my first Christmas gift to all you.

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: 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!
