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.

Scrapbook Lay out Idea: A Mother's Day Special

Let me start this post by asking you, How do you call your mother? Do you call her mom, mama, nanay, mommy? I call my mother mama, this is how we normally call our mothers in our place and this means more than just a name. When I say mama, it is more of a beautiful soul given from above to take care of me, to look out for me since I was inside her womb and someone who will always be there for me, to support me and to remind me that there is God who had set everything right.

My mama may not be perfect just like all other mothers in the world but I know for sure that somehow at one time, she had made one perfect moment that you will forever cherish at least. I had lots actually, I will never forget that each time I am not feeling well, she's there. Even when I am away from home and would inform her that I am not good, she'll never stop calling until she's confident that I am all okay.

Scrapbook Lay out Idea: Fish Pets

Do you have a pet? If yes, what pets do you have at home? Are you a dog lover, cat lover or even fish lover? I started with one fish I named Azule, such name because he is blue. He is actually a fighting fish and I had placed him in a bowl. James told me no fish should be placed in a bowl but never mind, he is just a tiny fish and he don't need some big aquariums. He can't be with somebody else inside the bowl too because if we do, he will gonna attack anybody else regardless if its a girl or boy fish. That's the reason why he is known to be called Fighting fish.

But Azule is not in the photo above, those are our new fish pets. They don't have names anymore because they are increasing, they are all cichlids and that naming them will just make me confuse. So I made a scrapbook page for them because I enjoy watching them swim here and there. Specially when they eat because they become very active and very aggressive.

By the way, Cichlids are known to be the most intelligent fishes. I had noticed that when it is time for them to eat, they seem to watch me from the glasses. They stare at me like they're gonna eat me and then once I pour the floating fish food, they begin to swim with all their might to get some of the stuff that I had spilled over.

Scrapbook Lay out Idea: All About "us"

It's labeled as it is coz the lay out shows nothing but only ourselves. The photographs were all taken at Bantayan Island, Cebu Philippines during our team building event. 

If you are like us, download this template and place your photo too! This will be a great memorabilia you will surely love to look at after a couple of years, or maybe when you become old and can't do outings anymore or can't take these kinds of photos anymore.

Scrapbook Lay out Idea: Life is a Beach

Hey it's su mmer, what are your summer plans and get aways?

Well for my case, I had already opened my 2012 summer a week ago when our time went to Bantayan Island. This island is pretty famous with it's long white sand beaches and clear blue sea waters. Aside from that, they also have a known delicacy named buwad, it's a dried fish actually but mind you, those buwads are really tasty and yummy.

So since I had already opened my summer for this year, I created a new scrapbook page as an entry for the month. I just hope I could create more in the next days.

It's summer time! We visited Virgin Island in Bantayan, Cebu last March 25, 2012. It is an island northeast of Bantayan. It has a really clear and cool blue waters, there are a lot of fish species swimming freely in the vicinity. For more information about Virgin Island, you can visit my blog here. 

Scrapbook Lay-out Idea: Hungry Baby

We were in Island City Mall for shopping when my niece, Aiesha asked for something to eat. We then realized that we were all up for eating when she dragged us at Dunkin Donuts. We have our bunwhiches ordered but Baby Aiesha was very hungry that before our orders were served, she took a bar of biscuits and started to eat it, what's surprising was she didn't ask anyone to open it for her because she was all there eating it up with the plastic still sealed on!

It was a funny moment that I took a photo of it. I really enjoyed her wacky moments.

Scrapbook Lay-Out Idea: Postcard Style

I recently created a postcard inspired scrapbook lay out, this was after we visited Tagbilaran City in Bohol last week. We came into this romantic place in the city, they call it K of C. I can compare it to Dumaguete's Rizal Avenue minus the luxury space. At it's right side is Tagbilaran Port and the other side is the bridge towards Panglao Island.

This is what is written on the scrapbook:

James & Jean

at the K of C, Tagbilaran

the lovers' lane of the city of friendship

enjoying the beautiful scenery

the city lights give a bit od romance

and the cool breeze makes me want to hug you more,my love.

Scrapbook Layout Idea: Camera No Shy Baby

I miss my niece, I just went home a couple of days ago for my brothers' despidida party. Whenever I go home all I do there is to play with my witty niece. She has been very bubbly these days, she sings and dances whenever she hears lively tunes and music. She had memorized the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star song, she can't pronounce the words well yet but she hums it with the almost right words.

She is really really amazing, she talks to us like she is one big girl already. She also consider other children as babies, whenever we would ask her if she want to take a ride on some riding games, she would say no, it's all for the babies then we will laugh our heart out.

And of course, she never says no with the camera. If we would say smile, she would never fail us. She knows how to do a wacky pose as well. So this scrapbook lay out is out for free.

Scrapbook Layout: Love and Holding on

There's something about being committed in a relationship, it makes a person happy, secured and loved. There are certain things which though they are simple, yet they become the best things in life. Love has no exact definition, it has to be felt, it has to be decided upon.

Every person who gets to find a partner is blessed, so everyone must treasure them, cherish what's in the relationship and make the One above the center of that commitment.

Scrapbook Layout: And Soon The Darkness

Last weekend, James celebrated his 24th birthday. I am not yet sharing his birthday celebration scrapbook page but I am sharing our sea night adventure.

So last Sunday, we went to the sea side to take a deep however the sea was sort of raging so we tried to wait for the waves to somehow calm. However, it was almost dark but the waves were still raging so we ended up taking a tour at the sea instead.

It was a bit scary because of the waves which were becoming bigger. The pump boat which carried us was strong and courageous. It sometimes would shake but we manage to get back to the share in one piece.

Birthday Invitation Template: Aiesha's 1st Bday v.1

I did tell you that I made two invitation letter designs for Aiesha's first birthday party right? Today, I will be giving away the first design I made which ended up getting saved on my hard drive only. I never had the chance to publish this before. Right after I posted the 2nd birthday invitation, I then thought of giving away those templates I made before which were just sitting on my external drive.

I had already shared the final 1st birthday invitation letter design yesterday and the 2nd birthday invitation letter design. I did inform you that the file inside the zip file is a PSD so you need to open it on a Photoshop program. Once opened, you just have to change the words inside the template. We don't have Aiesha's picture on this template though the final one and the 2nd birthday invitation has.

Clip Art: Beetles For The Heart Month

Hello everybody! How did you start your Hearts month?

I had missed posting in this blog so today, I decided to make up to you since it is already February, by the way, I just celebrated by 24th birthday last January 31 and I am just happy because my friends and colleagues had surprised me that day, even James also had surprised me with the food he had prepared for me, he cooked them himself.

Anyway, I would like to share some clip arts today and first off are these cute colorful beetles which had been living in my hard drive for quiet awhile already. At last, they made it outside the dusty drives now.

Clip Art: White Birds

What made you happy today?

This is always the question asked by our English trainer at work and would ask us individually on trainings.

So, what made you happy today? I have nothing to be happy today aside from being able to sleep for almost seven hours and of course, being able to post something for today. I had been telling you before that I love it when I hear the birds sing when I go home. Well, last Sunday when we went to Fort San Pedro, I saw some birds there and alas! heard them sing too!

Scrapbook Idea: Year End Love Photo

One more sleep, just one more sleep and we'll bid 2011 goodbye. We will say hello to the year of the dragon and move forward for the next year. Another year for more experiences and another chance of living life to the fullest.

For me, it will be another year to share my scrapbooking ideas, to share the digital cliparts I made and to share love. To be a vessel of blessing. And today, before I say farewell to the year 2011, let me share to you our last photo together which I turned into a scrapbook page. You might have a husband or a partner whom will not be spending the new year with you, then better take a photo of you together before the year ends. 

As for me, since I am going home to Bohol and James on the other hand will be in Oslob. The photos above are our final photo for 2011.
