Hello creative hands!

The tears of heaven licks my window pane.
The sound of raindrops is like a lullaby that makes me close my eyes again.
The cold weather invites me to lay down on my bed.

Everyday, there are so many things to celebrate. The rain with a lil' rays of sunshine, the mud on the road and the leaves that had fallen.

Twitter + facebook + Youtube + scrapbook = perfect Sunday
Let me show you what I did during the stormy day and night.

I made those denim flowers

I made these tickets

If you want me to post the printable tickets here and make a tutorial about the denim flower just leave a message below.

Thank you for reading!

happy crafting!

Peace be still

Good morning dark clouds!

Stormy night is over, Typhoon Mina spared us from its wrath. Thank you God for saving us.

I woke up this morning with a cold weather and a sound of raindrops from our neighbor's roof (we are in a condominium building).  It makes me want to close my eyes again and go to sleep, but I remembered my camera.  I went out from our unit and took some snapshots at the back of our building to see what happened last night.

Dark surroundings, due to the absence of sunshine

Waters are every where! There were mud on the road, pweh! Some of the vegetables of our neighbors were also destroyed. :( Students can't roam around even though it's a long week end for them.

Despite of the uncomfortable situation we still Thank God for bringing rain at least we're not suffering from El Ñiño.

Have a safe and happy long weekend everyone!

Digital Scrapbooking

Hello crafters!

I just want to share with you the things that I'm doing this past few days (aside from preparing for my board exam).  I opened my account in twitter and I've been using it for quite some time.  I followed some crafters there who are really talented and amazing.  Then I found out about daisy trail, I followed their page in facebook and ask question about how to start digital scrapbooking and what software is needed, fortunately they answered my question quickly and gave me the link of there website and their tutorial videos in Youtube.

I admit it I'm already hooked to it ^_^ the software is so nice you can even download some kits which contains embelishments, backgrounds, frame, materials and more.  The best part of this is the software and the kits are completely FREE!!! Yeah you read it right its FREE!!

I really enjoyed exploring the software and if I didn't know something, I just post questions in their facebook page and they answers very quickly, the tutorial video is also a big help for me.If you are using adobe photoshop the software will be easier for you because it has similar principle with the photoshop.

Let me show you some of the pages that I made while exploring the software.

This page is made from mother's day kit and some other embelishments from valentines

This is my very first page using the summer craft artist kit

I hope you guys will give it a try in making digital scrapbook, if you are not yet "in" to it. 

WARNING: digital scrapbooking is very addictive ^_^

Our Lady Lourdes Grotto

Hello crafters! Let's take a break from crafting and let me show you some of my pictures during my adventure in Baguio City.
August 8, 2011 when we went to baguio city just to look for an apartment for our review.  After inquiring we decided to visit the grotto, even though we are not catholic we just want to visit and take photos x)).

From Sison Pangasinan we rode a bus with an ordinary fare of  P50-60.00 and we travelled for almost an hour.
From the bus terminal we rode a taxi going to lower lourdes with a fare of P68.00.
If you want to go to baguio and your from manila you can ride some air-conditioned bus that has a BAGUIO sign.
without any further ado these are the pictures!

view from the top

My travel buddies: Vinz, merl, and julius

this rocks are located at the hidden part of the place but when tourist saw us taking photos here they waited and also took pictures! xD

Just in front of us are the people praying that's why the place is so silent, even though we are not catholic we were also silent to give respect for the people praying. 

this part of the place is restricted area

TP roll card and tags

Today is my friend's birthday (frances)!! She saw some of my works in my facebook account and requested me to make something for her.  I don't know what to do.  But after how many days of thinking of an idea, I came up with a TP roll Card and Tags again.  I thought that she can use it not only as a card from me but also as a bookmark that she can use in her books, especially now that we are facing our Nursing Licensure Review.

I made the card so simple to give space for writing and the tags were left blank for her to write her favorite quotations or stick some pictures that may inspire her.

The front cover was decorated with a dress form that I made with denim and a bow and gold flower and a sticker that says wish.  I hope that she will love this one and you guys will be inspired also in recycling and reusing things.

Just discover the creative side of your self and you'll see that sky is the limit.

Happy Crafting!

Hugs,
joie
