a snapshot

of my craft corner during one of its"better" days. someone said that clutter is a sign that creativity is brewing, or at least there is some sort of activity going on, that things are actually getting done. i suppose i can take comfort in that but the disarray bothers me.

i like looking at a clean workspace, the kind that you see featured in magazines. but that is so far from the truth, at least for me. most of the time, i usually work on just one project, and even then, my area seems like it's been hit by a tornado.

when we moved in almost a year ago, the space was evenly split between me and hubby. today, he remarked how my stuff had taken over most of the space.

hubby was sick this weekend so i didn't get much scrapping done, except for a few cards, one of which i will give to a friend who celebrated his birthday last friday. i also started working on a simple album for a friend who is here for a short vacation. i was supposed to make one before she left but i didn't have time so i'm making one now. i hope i finish it before thursday. i will try to take pictures and share it here. i still have one album i completed that i haven't shared here. 

the weekend is almost over and once again, i feel as if the past two days are not enough for me to get some rest. anyway, i'll try to complete what i can for my friend's album. 

yes, it's another mini

this mini-album was created for the maya road challenge over at two peas. i used the maya road birdhouse chipboard mini and pink paislee's butterfly garden collection. i love this collection and i can't wait to create another project with this. enjoy the rest of the week. 

there's a storm coming

...and i have layouts pouring in. the first two layouts were completed in the span of a day and the last two, i was just too lazy to take pictures of. i also have an album i will be posting pictures of. stay tuned. 

can you say yummy?

prima's april product picks are so yummy...the colors are right up my alley. ooh i hope i win. :)

how pretty makes it easy

this year's valentine's day celebration was pretty low key. i got off work pretty late and when i got in the car, hubby handed me a couple of cupcakes. then we had dinner in a quaint and cozy restaurant near our house. after coffee and dessert, we were both pretty tired so we headed home. now on to my scrapbook share.

this is a layout i created from iris' restoration album and layout class. i was in singapore during the day of the class so i was only able to work on it afterwards. i finished most of the layout a couple of weeks ago but i wasn't able to complete the bird yet. i have to tell you, it was very frustrating working on the structuring medium. i am still working on the mini-album. i hope i can share that soon.

this next layout was so easy to put together because the pink paislee papers are so pretty. and don't get me started on the colors - pink, blue and yellow. this one is for the scrappiest sketch 107.

as if to prove my theory that pretty papers and embellishments can jumpstart the creative process, i was able to finish this layout in a couple of hours for prima's february bap.

i think i'm gonna test more of my theory and get started on working with more pretty papers. it's friday tomorrow. i hope i can get more layouts done or even an album. 

a quick share

this is my entry for the january 27 sketchy thursdays challenge. the title took the longest to complete - it took me almost 2 days between choosing what colors and stickers to use to the title. i hope i finish another layout tonight. 

is the weekend over?

i am still frustrated with how little i seem to get done during the weekend. i am still figuring out how i can be more efficient. anyway, i need to go to work soon but  this is my entry for creative scrappers sketch 139. have a great week ahead.
