Album Template

Hello... Just popping to show you what's new on my store at Mscraps. Here's my new album template, Pagemaker Album Template #2. I used my Big World Kit to embelish the pages. I personally made this to put into a photobook my youngest son's first 12 months. However, you can also use this on any photobook you want and even mix & match each pages. Click the preview for details.

This one is a quickpage version of the album template, Big World Album Quickpage. Just slide under your photos and done. Click the preview for details.
And this one is my new Date It Pack #2. You will get this free when you purchase the album template. Click the preview for details.

Here's a cute sample from the Mscraps CT, Helen:

It will be 30% off from now, Friday, to Sunday at Mscraps.

So, go, go, go...

Lastly, I have the winners from my Sneak Peek: Congrats to...

Freebie Time...

As promised, here's a little freebie for you. I actually made this for my personal use... specially for my scrapping schedules, a table calendar. I got inspired by Sophie's Passport Picture Calendar. *wink* Then while printing these, I thought of why not create a template or make a quickpage for it for others to grab (if they'll like it... teehee...). I know January's almost finished but there's still few more days and 11 more months. So, here it is, my Quickie Calendar.

Download Here

It's plain and simple. I & hubby would like to have the days with it but since it's a bit narrow and space is limited, I just opted it out. Instead, I marked the Sundays with red color to determine (somehow) the weeks. Then you can also put photos. Just click and drag your photos under the background. It's easy to print as well. It's already layout on A4 size bond paper, 3 months per page. When printing, choose center image on your printer and everything's set. Then cut the rigth side for each month just after the line while cut a little bit further for the left side (that is if you want to bind it all together). Or you can cut it however you wanted. Plus I created stamps for the month and year and 2 more variations for you to use either change the style here or for your scrap layouts. These are all in PNG, TIFF and PSD formats.

Here's my final product *biggrin*. The photos I used for each month are taken from last year's photos of the same months. Special or memorable photos for that certain month. *wink*

However, it's not suitable for large documentations or if you have a lot of schedules for the day. But if you just wanted to be able to remember things, occassions or something important for a specific month, then this will do. *biggrin* Hope you'll like it. Do share to me how you made your table calendar.

Thanks for dropping by.

Holiday Spirit

Yes, it’s been a while since my last freebie. I asked you to come back this week for freebies and here are they. I hope I’m not too late in offering this holiday freebies. Christmas will be in a few more days, barely two weeks that is. I’m not printing a Christmas card for friends and families but instead I’ll be just sending them my own Christmas e-card.

Last weekend Kim and I decided to buy a little Christmas tree just to have the feeling of the holiday spirit. We are not Catholic, we are Bible Baptist Christian and we have different beliefs with regards to Christmas… but again we wanted to feel the spirit of the holiday season that’s why we decided to buy a Christmas tree. My eldest son was ecstatic about the Christmas tree thing and he kept on asking me how many more sleep to merry Christmas. Hahaha…

Here in UAE, they don’t celebrate it but malls are decorated with Christmas spirit themes. This is actually our first time here in UAE to have a Christmas tree of our own and I’m actually glad, even my husband, Kim. I saw the excitement on his face while we were buying a Christmas tree and some decorations. Forgive my ramblings about this Christmas tree… Hehehe…

Here’s a photo of our little Christmas tree with my kiddos.

Kuya (big brother) Makuy

On the other hand, here’s our Holiday Greeting Card for all of you from me and my boys (using Holiday Spirit littlekit):

May the holiday spirit be upon each and every one of you and do enjoy the celebrations.

While I'm Gone...

While we don't have internet, I got the chance to finish scrapping my eldest son Makuy's first year (that is from ultrasound to 12th month). This was the first thing I made after arranging the new house and getting settled. Below are the layouts I've made. Some are inspired by others' layouts and I'm so sorry if I forgot where I got the papers and elements I used for the credits but they are all freebies (Feifei Stuff, Three paper Peonies, Petit Lips, Sue Cummings, Amy Sumrall, Vinnie Pearce, Taylormade, Paislee Press, Ellie Lash, Gunhild Storeide)

• MARKUS' FIRST YEAR •

You can download here the First Birthday Littlekit I made for Makuy's 12th month scrap page. It was inspired by Jaime Choi's "Turning Three" layout. (Just click the image to download)

Below, on the other hand, are the alphas I created for some of the layouts above. I used the fonts' names as the names for my alphas. Hope you'll enjoy them. (Just click the image to download)

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

After finishing Makuy's first year scrap, I had the chance to scrap about my family and I was also able to create a littlekit, stamp frames and a quickpage.

I was going through my stock of old photos when I came to this photo I pasted in a scrapbooking paper a few years ago and then I got the idea to make a littlekit using the paper where I pasted my family photo (minus Kim who's already here in UAE at that time). They are my family in the Philippines; my parents, sister with daughter & hubby, my brother and me with Makuy. We are not a perfect happy family and we're not close to each other but I miss the so much and I was hoping to see them this year and I love them that's why I decided to create this littlekit. I was enjoying creating that littlekit that I was even able to make stamp frames and a quickpage using the layout I made from that littlekit. So, without much further a do, I'd like to introduce you to Family Matters Littlekit, Stamp Frames and Quickpage.

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Then lastly, some layout shared. While I was with no internet, here are the scrap layouts I created.

Yano turn 3 months and some freebies

Yesterday, September 21, our Yano turned 3 months old. Three months of sleepless nights, taking care of a baby and a young boy, doing some house chores, and no house help... we made it through... whew! I'm so tired and sleepy today but I wanted to post this. Anyway, I can't sleep just yet, the Kuya's awake and doesn't like me sleeping (he kept on asking me about anything) and the baby always wanted to be carried. *sigh**sigh**sigh*... I'm just soooo tired. There came a point that I felt I wanted to give up and send the children to Philippines. But just thinking of it (the children away from me) makes me feel sad and broken hearted. Yes, I'd be free and I could sleep all I want and go wherever I want and do anything I want... but they are my life and I don't think I can stand the loneliness with them away from me. So, I'll just keep on keeping on and be happy (hakuna matata that is). But I still want a day off? Hahaha... *sigh* I hope the house help arrives soon and that she would really be a help and not a burden. I personally don't know her nor met her but Kim said she saw her and she's recommended by his aunt. I'll trust them and I do hope she'll do good.

Going back to Yano's turning 3 months, here's a simple layout I made to record this special moment.

And as a freebie, I've made a quickpage with my layout. Just choose your photo then click and drag over the quickpage and put some journal and title.

Download Here

Another freebie I wanted to share with you... assorted frames. These are the frames I made for some of my layouts. They are just simple white frames. You can also recolor if you like.

Hope you enjoy the freebies and thank you for looking. :D

Four Season Littlekit Add-ons

I’m still here… I’m just being slow lately and busy taking care of the baby and the big brother that is. When time allows, I’m able to really sit in front of the computer and create something or just blog about something. I’m even missing so much lately on my foodblog (files are piling up for posting… *sigh*). But I’ve decided to stay alive here and there. Lol!

With my very first littlekit, Four Season, I’d like to share this freebie from that littlekit. This quickpage is dedicated to those with babies like mine. I derived this quickpage from the layout I made for the four season littlekit. I just added little stamps at the bottom (you can also download the stamps below). Hope you’ll like it.

Download here

This is the layout I made using the Four Season quickpage.

Here are the stamps which you can turn into brushes. I used the font Pea Dalovely Damanda Doodles and made them into stamps.

Download here

I know… I know… I still need to improve on creating but for a beginner in designing I hope I’m doing well. I’m cooking up on some thing. Just keep on visiting for more freebies.

Thanks for looking.
