No new layout for me this time. I have been *busy* blogging, that’s why. Haha! Told yah, I can’t blog and scrap at the same time. Hehe. However, I did find something interesting and scrap-related today. It’s Simple Scrapper’s blog. How I wish I’ve encountered this blog when I started digiscrapping! I have not gone through its archives but I will find time. I particularly like THIS post.
Go and read through this blog. It’s a rich resource for those who wants to get the most and give the best to this craft. ;)
Time for me to hit the sack! Tomorrow is another day!

Read more...I love Fridays! Basically because I love weekends. And not to mention it’s Fab Friday at the Scrapartist’s! Fab Friday means fab goodies at $1 each. I am a cheapskate, that’s why. Haha! This week, this caught my fancy: 
That’s 12 quick pages for just a dollar! I am working on several photo book projects and using quick pages makes my life easier.
So head over Scrapartist’s Fab Friday section and there might be something that might interest you. Happy shopping!
What’s tougher than understanding conversion rate optimization? It’s loosing your mojo! I don’t believe I lost it. Again. I just think that it’s here, somewhere. I’ve been obsessed and too involved in renovating my blogs that I tend to neglect scrapping. Since I am almost through with my blog work, it’s time for me to get me back into the scrapping. And to set the mood, I thought of reading my books. Or better yet, feast my eyes on some fab layouts I saw at the O. It’s been a while since I participated in a forum and Oscraps is my thing right now. I may not be actively visible there but I enjoy going through the gallery and pick an inspiration or two.
Try it. It works!
| You Are a Red Pen |
 You may seem quick to criticize or correct, but you think accuracy and truth is important. You like to be involved in every project. You feel like you put the polishing touch on things. You would make a good editor, detective, or accountant. When facts matter, you're the person to call on. |
I don’t know if I am finally done and satisfied with how this blog looks but it will do. For now. :D
Anyways, the Little Dreamers Designs had their shop renovated and I very much like how their cart look right now. Aside from that, they give this out for free:
Just create an account with their new shop (old accounts were deleted), then add this to your cart, check-out and voila, the kit’s download links are all yours! So visit Little Dreamer Designs today!
I have been trying to renovate all of my blogs in the past 24 hours or so. I have been successful and very satisfied with this and this. However, with this digiscrapping blog, hmmm… I am not sure yet. So don’t be surprised if you see a new template tomorrow. Haha!
Scrapping updates: I have not created a single layout since Tuesday and that’s baaaad! I have been obsessed about renovating my blogs (and cooking up a new blog). Surprisingly, I was also obsessing about keeping our closets neat and our clothes organized. Moreover, we bought a super cool floor mop which made me happy the other day. Keeping our floor clean and squeaky has never been easy! I want to mop almost every day now! Aside from making our floor shiny, it is also a good exercise for me! Beats even the best weight loss pills in town!
I may not have a page to boast but hey, we have a squeaky clean floor! ;)

I have been itching to shop. Again. Haha! I have been scouting for digishops that has promos and sales but they seem to be scarce these days. There’s quite a few but nah, I don’t like what I see. I ought to scrap, I know! But I am just too tired right now. Running a household is tiring, you know. Especially when DH is not around. Teehee! Therese (not my daughter but a co-CT member of Shaui’s team), shared this to us:
How time does fly when having fun,
And so very little housework done.
My mind is busy as can be
Cause I'm just a'scrappin', don't you see?
Thinking of layouts all day long
Paper everywhere; supplies seem gone
Can't find anything, woe is me...
I'm just a'scrappin', don't you see?
Dishes piled high but can't quit now
Got a brainstorm and a wrinkled brow
But I'm content as I can be
Cause I'm just a'scrappin', don't you see?
- Joyce Mitchell
It’s funny and witty and oh-so-true! Haha! But seriously, I am done doing the laundry. And prepared a sumptuous meal for two. Yeah. Just for me and DD since DH is on a trip. I am one lonely (not to mention tired) girl on Valentine’s Day on a weekend. *sigh* I think that DH will agree that I deserve a treat like weekend getaways to some places that are nice and have big malls. Haha!
Anyways, going back to Therese (the scrapper), she is one amazing lady and you should really visit her GALLERY. It’s oozing with inspiration and her style simply blows my head off! Seriously! And when I grow up, I want to scrap like her. :D
| Your Handwriting Says You Are Somewhat Traditional |
 You are somewhat outgoing, but you're not a natural extrovert. You think first before you act. You tend to be independent, rational, and logical. You are balanced and grounded. You know how to get along well with others. You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well. You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart. You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous. |
I’ve been trying to find my blogging mojo. It seems that I lost it when my scrapbooking mojo returned. Haha! It’s tough to switch from scrapbooking to blogging. Scrapbooking requires me to use my right brain while when blogging, I have to use my left brain. Confused? Haha! Don’t be. It’s easy. We use our right brain when we imagine, visualize, think creatively, etc. On the other hand, our left brain is utilized when analyze, think critically, compute, etc.
Anyways, back to my story. I have been finding it difficult to blog these days. On the other hand, it’s not that easy for me to scrap but it not as tough as it used to be. In fact, I have a page created today but I can’t post it yet. ;) I’ll share it one of these days. Promise.
I have been waiting for my photo book from ARTSCOW and due to some holidays in HK, the turn around time is currently longer than their normal periods. Hopefully, they could ship it in the coming week. I understand that I have to patiently wait if I want an awesome photo book. Hehe.
Speaking of ARTSCOW, I was very surprised and impressed with the additional freebies that they’ve been giving out! Here are the recent ones:

I am thinking of something educational and fun using the playing cards but let me conceptualize it first. ;)
So what are you waiting for? These and more are up for grabs for free (just pay for the shipping fee!) when you sign up at ARTSCOW!
My, my. I am itching to shop! What is wrong with me? Haha! Good thing it’s not for discount sinks (though I would love to replace ours, only if this house is ours. Haha!) I am talking about digital kits, darling! But since I am on a saving mode, I still give in but not on full kits. Just the *basics*. So what are the basics? Alphas, stitches, embellishments, perhaps?
Speaking of stitches, thanks to my friend Aggie’s recommendations, I now have these:
All from Sweet Shoppe Designs.
And when I visited Katie Hadfield’s blog, I can’t resist buying this from her shop. (Because unfortunately, I did not win her February BYOC! *sniff* *sob* *sob*)
Go and grab it HERE at a discounted amount before she sells it at full price! Hurry, hurry, HURRY! :D Peace, Kate!
So I have spending on digital stuff again. I know, I know, I told myself that I have enough stuff and that what I need now are more layouts! I am happy to report that yes, I have been scrapping! Yey me! And because of that, I realized that I need more stuff. Haha! One of them are alphas. I scouted (being a cheapskate) and found these:
They are totally fab, right? Right. And I got them all from Digital Design Essentials for $1 each. There are past Gina Cabrera Idea Notebooks (her version of grab bags) which are on sale. Check them out HERE and see if they interest you. You can get them at $1.99 each, instead of $3.00 which is their original price.
My 5R prints finally arrived! There are 50 sheets and they’re free! I just paid for their shipping. Thanks again, ARTSCOW! All of them are photos during our 2007 vacation. I will be ordering another 50 of our last year’s trip and once I receive them, they will be shipped to my in-law as remembrance. I am also waiting for my large print which will be a surprise gift for Shelley, my sister in-law. It’s already shipped. Woot!
Moreover, I would like to commend ARTSCOW’s customer service. I ordered a photo book about 2 weeks ago and I admit, I am very impatient when it comes to waiting. Good thing they sent an email just this today, explaining the delay. It was due to their office shutdown because of the Chinese New Year holidays. They’re based in Hong Kong, remember? What I love more about ARTSCOW is that they inform you about your order and sends another email to inform you that your order is already shipped. Isn’t that amazing or what? So sign-up now HERE and enjoy more savings!
What did you wear today?
:: Jeans, a nice Pooh & Tigger shirt and my cute, orange flat shoes.
What’s one thing you want to buy right now?
:: A membership card from one of the digiscrapping shops online. But I have to resist and save! Haha!
Where do you want to travel to?
:: Cebu and Bohol since airfare prices just dropped and we’ve not visited those places yet. And Davao too, to meet Yen finally!
Who would you go with?
:: My husband and our kidlet, of course.
What kind of food would you eat?
:: Anything edible. Haha!
What are you listening to?
:: Public affairs program that hubby is watching on TV. Plus our daughter’s singing.
What do you most feel like doing this week?
:: Scrap like there’s no tomorrow! Haha! And blog too. I have to blog!
Get up. Walk to your living room. What do you see?
:: My husband, watching something on TV.
Get up. Walk to your kitchen. What’s the first thing you notice?
:: The milk container which is not tightly closed.
What’s your favorite dance move?
:: Not applicable. Hahaha! I am not into dancing, that’s why.
What are you thinking right now?
:: I should be sleeping because I need to get up and report to school before 7:30 AM tomorrow. Yikes.
What’s the last thing you bought?
:: Hmm… Ice cream, chips, peanuts, a loaf of break and 10 eggs.
Grabbed this from Diane who got it from Alpha. Thanks, ladies!
I was tagged by the ever-famous doodle lady, Katie Hadfield and when I visited Joy’s blog, I found out that I was tagged by the same tag! Yay! Here goes the rules:

I gathered my guts, spent the entire afternoon creating a layout and joined the Wacom Pen Scrappers Contest. Thanks to the prodding of Diane and the inspiration of fellow Pinays who won the first contest – Aggie (the big winner), Shaui, Joy and Buge, I found the courage to enter an international popularity contest. Me, who seldom finds inspiration and drive and mojo to create! But they (my digiscrapping/ blogging buddies) were very supportive and inspiring and I thank them. :)
Presenting my Wacom Pen Scrappers entry:
Voting is done DAILY.
Voting will be done up the 15th of February 2009.
Please support me if you like! It means a lot. :)
Thank you!
