A "Nordic" Christmas...

Merry Christmas everyone! Looking for a classic paper collection for your Christmas photos? How about Basic Grey's "Nordic" line. It's classic, beautiful, and easy to use! I think that's very important when you are struggling to scrap several photos from one event. I found my solution with this single line from BasicGrey. 

I wish everyone a blessed Christmas and a happy new year. One thing I came to realize this year is that I did not have as many photos to scrap as last year. Not because I was too busy to spend time with my kids, but because I spent more time playing and caring for them rather than taking photos of them for my scrapbook projetcs. It's so worth it. Now if only hubby can handle the camera then that would solve my problem yeah?!:)

Hugs everyone!!

 

Some more Webster's...

Hi everyone! I have been missing for so long now. My previous post was actually pre-scheduled. That's because we had a scary repeat of last year's Christmas season cause my two girls were hospitalized again due to viral flu. We just got home this morning and it was such a huge relief to have them back home again.

Anyway, back to the scrappy stuff, just wanted to post here the recent layouts we completed in a Webster's class I taught here in Manila. Thanks to everyone who joined!! I'll be in Indonesia very soon to teach a couple of Webster's classes too (with the new release!). I'll post more info soon.

Here goes...

Before you go here are a few random facts about me (the entire DT is sharing these with you :) and a few Hambly layouts...

1. I have a food craving cycle that goes… salty, sweet, salty, sweet… all in one meal!
2. I eat spaghetti hot or cold – eek?? Yumm!
3. I can never pass the day without at least three cups of coffee
4. I love the concept of extreme uphill downhill cycling but is too afraid to make it real outdoors – so I just stick to cycling classes at the gym.
5. I am an ink, paint, mediums type of scrapper.
6. The very first step I make when I create my projects is to cut out that first piece of paper. If it can’t be cut – the I use a die cutting machine on it!
7. I never spoil my children! I never give in…. I never say yes… oh well, I just think they are at that “too cute” stage – so can you blame me?!:)
8. I dream of seeing the coral reefs – problem, I’m terrified of swimming
9. I love the caloric burn you get from running, but I dread the freckles that come along with it.
10. When I reach that time in my life where we can already design and build our own house, the first thing I’m working on is my scrap room! 

 

 

Thanks for your visit! Enjoy the hop!
