Journal:
friends... like family. ohana means no one is left behind.

Among the many friends we have here in UAE (specially here in Al Ain), these guys are the closest to us. From the first time me and Makuy arrived here, they are the ones we always hang out with, share insights, heartaches, problems, funny-happy moments, and the lists just go on and on. They are our family here and as a ohana, "no one will be left behind". We may someday walk through different directions but deep inside they will be forever cherished and hopefully stay connected. Thank you to them for the love and support they gave us in times we needed it the most. I love you guys... (chuva) *wink*

I always visit Jaime Choi's blog and I admire her layouts as well as her itty bitty kits (her designs). She's one of my inspirations when it comes to digiscrapbooking. I hope and pray that I would also be able to create my own kits... but I still have to learn so many things. In creating my layouts, I usually get my inspiration through the layouts of other digiscrappers. I saw this circular date stamp and I kinda liked it but it was for sale and since I don't have the means to buy them, I usually create my own from scratch. I was already able to create 4 circular stamps and I'd like to share them with you (specially for those who only rely on freebies like myself). Hehehe... Hope you'll enjoy using them.

As for these alpha, I created them to be sticker alphas since I couldn't find the alpha that I liked to add on my layout. I used Friends font which I got from the net. You can download them if you like.

Enjoy the challenge and thank you for downloading my freebies.

Thank you for passing by... :)
