Baguio Memories

I've been steering clear of Fancy Pants for the longest time because I can't relate as well to its vintage, shabby chic design. But whoa!!! I did a double take when I saw their CHA 2008 lines at Lasting Impression. I absolutely loved the About a Boy Collection and I'm so thrilled that I was able to work with the Sweet Spring Collection. I also can't get enough of their latest: the Glitter Cuts. Just adhere to your page and voila! It's done! Here's a 2-page layout I made using Fancy Pants' Sweet Spring line.



Isn't it obvious? I'm still in Baguio mode... har-har... Just goes to show how much I missed the place!

Please check out Lasting Impression's gallery for the materials used for the above layouts! Let's enjoy the rest of summer!

Alter It Chipboard Wheel

One of my DT assignments for Lasting Impression is a new product from Paper Trunk : an Alter It Chipboard Wheel. I was wondering what to do with it when I chanced upon Em Magpoc's site! She used the wheel to capture her wonderful travel in the Holy Land.

So from this....
I came up with this!!!

It was so fun to do! I just disassembled the wheel into 2 parts: the base where I placed the pictures and the cover with the picture slot. I printed out my pictures in 3"x2" size then just traced out the shape of the slot to capture the image I wanted. Held together by a brad, I found it such a fun & innovative way of displaying my pictures.

Thanks, Em, for the inspiration!

Bye, February!

The Love Month of February is about to end but we it's still a bit chilly, specially in the early mornings. My friend has a fool-proof, reliable prediction that once Chinese New Year comes, the summer winds will start to make its grand entrance. Well, my friend needs to check again. Not only is it still chilly, it's also been RAINING!!!

Here are a few more layouts I made for Lasting Impression for the month of February. The theme is still Valentine's but well it really should be a year-round theme for everyone!
Photos for the 1st & 2nd layouts are by Yours, truly while the pictures for the 3rd layout are by Dominic Barrios, an up and coming wedding photograper connected with Imagine Nation. Thanks, Doms, for the prenups pictures taken at the La Mesa Watershed! (no laughter in the house, please...)
