Pebbles "In Stitches" LO

This week on Pebbles, Inc, we are focusing on "stitches"! I love the effect of sewing in my LOs -- machine, hand or faux!

I so enjoyed playing with this LO...seems to me that so long as there are circles, it's almost a guarantee that my page will turn out to be FUN! On this page I used the Ever After line from Pebbles Inc.

Check out the other work by my co-DT here!

Journaling: This is why I can't ever stop scrapbooking. I would never have met these wonderful group of women, had it not been for this hobby.  In this group, we are all equals.  There are no stars or masters...just women who love to scrap, eat, chat... and yes, have their pictures taken...not necessarily in that order. Sonya's Garden, 06-2011 (forgive the wrong grammar..."these" should have been "this" :))

I used the gorgeous Floral Lane collection for this LO and absolutely love how the glitter candy dots add a simple touch of elegance! We missed these 3 girls when we had these pics taken -- Joanne Yap who is in Australia, Mia Castrillo who lives in CDO and Liza Bermudez who was in her last month of pregnancy at the time.

We all rode in one big van and there was non-stop talking going to Sonya's Garden and back. My voice was hoarse by the time we got back in the early evening and I was sick for the next 2 weeks...haha! But it was all worth it!

Mr & Mrs

So, obviously, this LO is long-delayed...by almost 12 years...LOL! But when I was assigned to create a project with Pebbles Inc's new Mr. & Mrs. collection, I knew I had to use one of my wedding photos.

Like most scrapbookers, I started out with this hobby when I had kids, and wanted to document their lives. By that time, there was a ton of pictures already waiting to be scrapped so all I've ever done for my wedding was a very simple 8x8 album which I gave to my hubby 5 years later.

Merry Christmas!

Good Morning everyone! No, I am not awake this early...thank God for scheduled posts! I hope you all are having a Merry Christmas!
Here is my Christmas LO which appeared on the Pebbles blog the yesterday.

Title: Waiting for Midnight


Materials: 

Pebbles Products Used: Tree House Pebbles Chips (744114), Tree House Epoxy Brads (744231), Tree House Bliss (751033), Tree House Trunk (751034), Tree House Fun (751035), Red Spool Ribbon (44029); 

Other Products Used: Cardstock (American Crafts, DCWV), Pen (American Crafts), Punches (EK Success, Martha Stewart), Letter Stickers (Autumn Leaves, Making Memories), Misc - doily lace

Journaling: Here in the Philippines, our kids don't need to wait for Christmas morning to open their presents...they only need to  be awake when the clock strikes at midnight on Christmas Eve.

After an evening mass, we all gather in my mom's house dressed in our Christmas finery to wait for midnight when we eat our Noche Buena...a huge feast when the family gathers together to celebrate Jesus' birth.

The waiting time is one of the best times to take pictures of the kids, as they are at their most cooperative selves. They can't risk anything at this point as it is so close to "opening presents time". 

And when midnight comes, the riot begins as gift wrappers are torn and the kids start squealing with delight.

At around 2AM, we go home loaded with presents, prepare milk and cookies for Santa, and finally go to sleep to wake-up to a full day of more family get-togethers, more eating and lots & lots of presents!

Christmas 2009
