All About U

Here's one I did using a sketch from Pagemaps. The idea was to make a 12x12 LO using an 8x11 sketch.

Here's the sketch:

And here's my take:

3 Years

Today is our third wedding anniversary and we had an early celebration last Saturday. We went on a day trip to Tagaytay and had brunch at Antonio's Breakfast (which is now located at the same place where the Antonio's main dining area is, only a floor below).

Here's the big guy as if trying to decide what to order...



...and here are a few more photos.



It was a good day except for the traffic going back home. But the good news is, I made to Lasting Impression's anniversary sale and purchased Butch's anniversary gift for me! So it's all good.

And I just realized, today is also my blog's 1st anniversary. It was also on this date that I posted my first blog entry.

Cheers! :)

Halloween Pages

Jao missed his first halloween because he got sick with german measles. This was one week before his MMR vaccination. I know. Bummer, right? Anyway, I decided to take matters in my own hands and gave him his first taste of halloween (which i'm sure he absolutely doesn't care about). I took pictures so I could scrap (of course!!) his first trick or treat. :)

I had planned to make a double page layout but obviously it didn't turn out that way. Somehow the element of continuity escaped me. It just goes to show that I know nothing about double layouts. LOL!!! I'd like to call this "coordinating pages".

Title(s): Little Pirate / Little Pumpkin
Journaling: You missed your first halloween because you got sick. So we had our very own trick or treat at home and it was fun!

Supplies: DCWV CS, Scenic Route Salem papers & chipboard shapes, AC thickers, MM tiny alphas, Zig pen.

Thanks for looking!
