New Baby

I got my new Canon Selphy CP740/750 today. I haven't had the chance to try it out yet. I have to read to user's manual first lest I might mess it up. I just checked the contents of the box. Everything seemed to be there including the ink & photo paper. Sadly, there are only about 6 papers that came with the package. But it's okay. Got the printer as a prize naman. :)

I hope I could give it a test drive tomorrow. Wish me luck!

P.S. My layouts are now up at Back Porch Memories Gallery. Please do check it out if you get the chance.

Almost

My Jao is almost 1! I cannot believe how fast time flies. He can walk across the room now on his own but tumbles every once in a while.



I am one proud mommy. But just thinking that he'll be able to run soon makes me tired already! Maybe it's time for me to hit the gym to prepare myself.

BPM August GDT

BTW, Back Porch is looking for their GDT for August. Check details here.

Challenge at BPM

I hosted one of the July Challenges over at Back Porch Memories. Mine is an "All Paper" challenge using only CS or PPS for everything on your page - title, embellies, journaling sheets, etc. And you can do whatever with the paper cut, tear, punch, edge, anything!

I hope you can join. Click here for challenge details and here to upload your entry.

And here's my sample LO:

The Poet In Me

I joined a haiku writing contest over at Scrap N' Art. A haiku is a form of poetry that originated in Japan. It consists of 17 syllables. The requirement was to make a haiku with a "School's Out" theme because it's summertime in the U.S.

My "composition":

Hey let's roll, let's run
Let's go out and have some fun
'Cause guess what? School's done!

And guess what? I won! Yahoo! Never thought I had it in me. Hahaha! But seriously, I was lucky that they drew my name out of more than 50 entries. And the good news is I get a prize from Rusty Pickle! Double yahoo!!!
