<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know I have been terribly remiss in updating this blog. However, I have been working on one of my dreams before I turn 30, an extension of my craft adventures - La Petit Cadeau. I hope you will join me in this new adventure. I have listed below all the places where you can learn more of this new endeavor. Have a great week ahead everyone!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It started with the mixed media canvas I created for the <a href="http://www.lifeafterbreakfast.com/2012/08/the-2nd-craft-soiree.html" target="_blank">Craft Soiree</a> and afterwards, I couldn't stop playing with paints, canvas, stamps and my scrapbook goodies. Did I also mention that I discovered my love for gel medium with this project?</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's a 6x6 altered mixed media canvas I created featuring a dress form. There are still a lot of elements in this project inspired by the small canvas - the colors, the handmade flowers and yes, the ubiquitous washi tape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is a slightly bigger canvas, an 8x8. I played around with shades of pink, green and blue. Aside from the flowers and the script background, I also used the new <a href="http://heykessy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">HeyKessy </a>washi tapes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also completed a wall hanging for a friend as a birthday gift. I dabbled with pastels and molding paste. I do hope my friend liked it.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally, I got my first custom order for an 8x6 name tag with a vintage travel theme. This was a challenge for me especially because I rarely make travel-themed projects and these are colors I don't usually work with. Anyway, I'm glad the client loved it and someone already approached me for another custom name tag order. Crossing my fingers that there would be more opportunities like these for me.</span><br />

It reflects a lot of the things I love - vibrant colors, a shabby chic vibe and lots and lots of details from pockets, tags to the birds and the flowers. I'm also happy my swap partner loved the album. Anyway, I hope you like the album as well and have a great week ahead.</span><br />

I'm not optimistic that I'll improve anytime soon in updating my blog especially since I started with my first class for MBA already. Like the geek I've always been, I'm enjoying schoolwork and I'm happy to be learning a lot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway, here's a rundown of what I've been up to, craft-wise, in pictures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last July, my friend's baby was baptized and I was one of the godmothers. The event styling was done by <a href="http://pepperfy.com/" target="_blank">Pepperfy</a>, a little crafting venture my friends and I started. We created the souvenirs, decors like the pompoms, flower pots and banners, and the guestbook.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also attended my first, and hopefully not my last craft soiree last August 18. It also coincided with my first day of class so I was only able to drop by for less than an hour. The event was held in Pino restaurant and there were around 30 crafters who participated. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Alessa writes about it <a href="http://www.lifeafterbreakfast.com/2012/08/the-2nd-craft-soiree.html">here</a> as well as the other participants like <a href="http://www.starsfordreams.com/">starsfordreams</a> who talks about <a href="http://www.starsfordreams.com/craft-soiree-2-the-loot/">her loot</a> and <a href="http://www.starsfordreams.com/craft-soiree-2-those-other-crafts/">the loot she didn't get</a> and <a href="http://www.designsofartisanblog.com/2012/08/22/meeting-old-and-new-friends-at-craft-soiree/">designsofartisan</a>. I already signed up for the next one in December and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to attend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For my project, I altered a mini-canvas by painting and stamping on it then finally embellishing it with hand-made flowers and diecuts.This my first attempt at a multi-media project so I was very apprehensive about how it would turn out when I started. In the end, I'm happy with how it turned out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also participated in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/250912151678113/" target="_blank">PS Mini Album Grab a Swap</a> which concluded last night. I created an 8x8 album using the Pink Paislee Spring Jubilee line. I love the vibrant colors of this line and I was able to integrate a lot of my favorite things in this mini as well as several techniques I learned online. I have yet to take pictures of the entire mini but for now, I'd like to share the cover.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">anyway, enough of the cheese. i have several projects that i want to share. as you might have surmised from the lack of updates here, i haven't been able to commit to my one project a day - who knew creating tags could be exhausting. i have been participating in some local swaps after my first tag swap. there was a smash book swap, another tag swap and an atc swap. here are my projects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">for the smash book swap, my swap partner requested for either a shabby chic or travel-themed smash book. i had so much fun creating the shabby chic smash book, i decided to create a travel-themed one as well.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the next swap i participated in was a tag swap and i suggested the alice in wonderland theme. i already worked on a friend's baby shower with the same theme but alice in wonderland seemed like an inexhaustible source of inspiration and this time, i wanted to play with muted tones. the papers i used varied because i had to create 14 tags and i only had limited quantities of the designs. but most of the elements were consistent across the tags - a stamped sentiment saying imagine or believe, a clock, a drink me potion, teacups and a quote from the book tucked in a small envelope. </span></div>

<div>
i have a friend's baby shower coming up and i will be sharing my projects for that. i'm also working on several projects now - a layout, a calendar for a friend and probably a mini-album as well. i'm calling it a week and my weekend will officially start in a few minutes. <span style="font-size: 100%;"> so i hope you enjoy the tags and more importantly, your weekend.</span><br />

so here i am finally with my long overdue update. i am sharing my second batch of tags although i am so behind on my year of creativity project - 21 tags, 0 layouts and 0 albums. i am rethinking the one tag/project a day to one tag/project a week. i always seem to be exhausted from work that after dinner, i can barely keep my eyes open and i just head straight to bed. but that's something that i need to mull over. in the meantime, hope you enjoy the tags.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i dubbed my project a year of creativity and at the end of the year, i wanted to be able to create 366 projects (tags, cards, canvas, etc), 100 layouts and 12 albums. so far, i've made around 14 tags. i've not yet decided what to do with them, probably use them on other projects or with gifts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i have not been very diligent in posting my progress here in my blog but i have been creating albeit not as regularly as i hoped i would. however, i have been posting updates through <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/jeaniedelarama">my twitter</a> account in case you are interested in following me and my attempt to infuse more creativity in my life.crafting and creating breaks, quiet time and blogging are some of the activities i have to integrate in my daily routine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
anyway, without further ado, here are my tags for the first week. let me know what you think. enjoy the week ahead everyone.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">anyway, i am still behind with the pictures of the apartment. all the shelves are up, even the mirrors have been set in place and we have done our fair share of dusting and cleaning. but sad to say the hammering and dusting are not yet over as we are still trying to fix our </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">internet connection.we have had numerous visits from the electrician and the telephone guy but each visit just seems to make it worse.it gets very frustrating.but thank God for hubby who has been very patient about the whole thing and is still trying to get everything fixed.what would i do without him?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">after more cleaning and dusting, i am hoping to get some scrapping and crafting time done during the weekend.there are also some exciting things some friends and i are working on and i can't wait when we can finally spill the beans.the hammering is giving me a headache, i'm gonna go get myself something to eat.enjoy the weekend everyone.</span><br />

we moved in two weeks ago but the things started coming in only this week. first, the couch which almost feels like a bed and then the shelves and our work tables which are so efficient but aesthetic. the only thing we're missing is our dining table.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">there is still a bit of work ahead of us, not to mention the post-construction clean-up but the place is slowly coming together. i am already looking forward to when all this is completed and we can finally start nesting. as the house is still halfway done and i need to get back to cleaning, i am leaving you with a picture of the frame i completed from a class i attended here. i already have the perfect spot for it, now for the perfect timing to hang it. enjoy the rest of your weekend.</span><br />
