FSCB Challenge 7 - Travel : Baguio Burnham Park
My mother was all smiles - telling how so long ago she had visited Baguio. She was very happy, and that made me happy!
Scrapping the pictures took time, it was so nice to relieve those moments, although we only stayed for two nights. I guess that lifted the depression from my Mom.
Likewise, since it was greenery and magical - a perfect opportunity to insert my favorite stamp, of a fairy child and a flower embossed and so are the trees - after all, Baguio City is the City of Pine!
Some of the cutouts are attached using a double sided tape making it a bit elevated, more of a 3 d effect - for the sun, clouds, fairy child, and the embossed trees.

FSCB Challenge 7 - Travel : Baguio Last Minute Shopping!
Actually that morning, I was only told she would be going to Mass for the Baguio Cathedral - surprised that she went back to the Baguio Market for the "pasalubongs". Shopping is the second anti stresser aside from Scrapbooking...
Well, its early morning and I choose to use my prepared embossed stamps...

FSCB Challenge 7 Movies : Ghost Rider
Ergo.. red as a background to represent the fire... and I could not find any motor bike, so I guess the bicycle should do :)
I used flower stamps that was embossed. I dont mind using the same embellishments as long as they would be in separate albums.
The layout is very simplistic but then, red base paper is already very powerful in itself.. just as the movie which starred Nicholas Cage.
All materials are from Filstar's All About Scrapbooking. The yellow bike is a leftover from a kit from Lasting Impression.

FSCB Challenge 7 - Mommy and Ate Jeannie
My Mom had been religiously attending the Scrappin Club monthly meets - exception would be due to the weather or health problems, and that period she had her "tampo". We attended the club meet and the scrapmania contests that we had received the same items over and over, as in the same color even. The inventory taker would not even exchange some items for another color set, and so, she sort of "boycotted Filstars's Scrappin club for a month or two I think - till I told her that Carmel Carpio and Nenette Garcia already agreed to have the items exchange.
And in most of those times, Ate Jeannie was always there. I am sure that there are more pics of just Ate Jeannie David and my Mom than my Mom and my brother .... and she avows she has no favorites, yeah right!!!
So sorry, babling here... back to the layout. The sketch is based the Filipino Scrapbookers' Challenge Blog challenge number 7. I also used some embossed stamp images. Also, those nested foam shapes? They were designed by Ate Jeannie and exclusively distributed by Filstar's All About Scrapbooking Club for only Php39.50!

LGS 2012 October 2nd week - Nico's Birthday
Nico is a friend I met on the internet and his birthday was 10 October - but he did not mind celebrating it with me two days earlier. We had a buffer dinner at Saisaki restaurant - an opportunity for the Japanese Geisha stamp I got from Ria.
I did this early morning so I just chose two ribbons for the upper left hand corner.
All materials are from Filstar 's All About Scrapbooking except for the stamped blue negative.

FSCB Challenge #7 - Pets : LUNA
She is half persian and half street cat given as a gift by Amb. Ricardo Endaya to me.
I used an 8x8 of AAS that is so nice I do not want to hide or cut it out. To complement the base picture, I used clouds and then a sun for the triangle and circle. And since Luna's paw was stretch, I cut out two butterflies which where place on a foam double sided tape providing a 3d effect.
I also cut out a small blue and white cat on a 12 x 12 pet theme of AAS

Movies : Perks of a Wallflower
A replied that a wallflower is suppose to represent those girls that stay seated during proms or dances since no one wanted to dance with them.
I smiled internally ... it was not something in her to understand as she had been above some girls, quite popular even being crowned as the Miss Cabuyao Institute in her High School years
The movie is nice but for a mature or open minded people. First time for me to find a female pedophile or female child abuser, usually I hear of a male elderly. But its a very nice movie of growing up and friendship. In my case, I was not a wallflower - did not even attend any prom!

Stars : Miss Earth
I have my own photo with a Ms. Earth and so thus my Mom. Like Mother, like son. So, I also used the same cutouts.. those yellow and orange spirals that is suppose to reflect Ms Earth!
Final touch : I used flowers to hide the unwanted people in the picture. :)

Stars : Maritoni Fernandez & Tweetie de Leon
Maritoni Fernandez is a good actress, usually the antagonist and that had been imprinted so I was hesitant, baka tarayan kami eh.
Tweetie de Leon is in her 40s but her beauty is so timeless - I remember when she won the Super Face / Super model more than decades ago ... she won against Melissa Rubio, then the girlfriend of Richard Gomez. Well, she had proven her worth, she truly deserved the title no matter she was not the popular choice then. She was a surprise winner!

I cut the shapes from a 8 x 8 paper of AAS, then i used it to form the triangle. Then from a discontinued 12 x 12 line, i sourced the circle.. but it lacked something to match the dress of the star, so i placed it on top of the other shapes, providing better contrast.
Stars : Angel Jacob

For a little creativity - i used a corner clouds from another 8 x 8 of AAS instead of the straight triangle. Then, in lieu of the circle... i looked for a full moon, and the nearest I got was that cresent moon on a square.. oh well.. that should do.. Embellished the page more with chipboard stars.
LGS 2012 October Week 1: 2nd entry - Stars: Donita

FSCB Challenge 7; Movies : Unofficially Yours
My answer : "Yes Mommy"
And then the awkward silence.... then we move on.
My Mom is 71 years old, definitely the generation that virginity is given only after a wedding and that sex is never talked about.
Unofficially yours reflect a reality, people would rather just have sex, which although is an intimate act is done so impersonally for they are afraid to feel, to love, for that would mean the possibility of being hurt..
Ok... moving on - the layout, could not find a good light blue paper to serve as the circle base of the challenge so I used used the backside, so plain so i distressed it with a blue stamp pad... i love the texture! It draws attention.

FSCB Challenge 7 - Movies : All The Things
Ok, the bases paper is the white backside, but instead of stamping color - I stamped the just used masked on the paper thus creating reverse fine print.
Then using a timeless theme 12 x 12, i cut the lower left corner for the triangle and used a single theme for the base circle. I used decorative tapoe for the border.
The movie is different as here, Regine becomes a very modern woman: she went after Aga, to the point of proposing to him! Aga does what he do best, be handsomely cute and sensitive.
