Elegant! Is how best to describe the tag aside from being a multimedia. Aileen used lace, ribbons, and two decorative rings ( most likely toy rings). She used a computer to print out, die cut, and manually glittered the edges! I find myself melancholy about the tag... wishing I can find someone I would wed at the altar.

ATC: A Mother's Love by Aileen Joy Fernandez
The base of the work was treated several times, touched it several times to feel the texture the various pasted paper. Its not so obvious but the the black silhouette is composed of two and not one, much like a paper tolle technique.
Ailleen also provided a yellow twice, some beads and two Tilda stamp with her swap!

TAG : We Aim to MISBEHAVE by Gagay Li Collins
Gagay once shared a home made recipe for making Gesso, which involves baby powder .. that I think is what she used in those stencil...
Similar technique of writing words on a separate base and attaching it with a thread / ribbon.

ATC : Nest by Gagay Li Collins
Mystified!! When I opened the package from Ces de Guzman aka Gagay Li Collins - her 4th ATC is a revelation. She used this woven material - used on baskets or something...the nest i recognize to be made from straws, and i guess she used small styrofoam for the eggs. Am not so sure about the title Nest - I guess its a print out on partchment since the lettering is too perfect to be simply stamp.

ATC : Nature's Masterpice by Gagay Li Collins
Crafty! The ATC itself was made of hand made "all natural" materials : handmade paper tissue and leaves to represent Nature. The ATC was then attached to a small print out saying. Gagay Li Collins is crafty in thinking about such project....

ATC Celeberating Family by Gagay Li Collins
Creatively genius! I think Ces de Guzman aka Gagay Li Collins, printed the base artwork then de stressed the sides by a red art medium. She likewise printed the title and message on parchment paper : Celebrate FAMILY as a work of ART" which was attached on the base with ribbon!
Note: There are 50 + 1 participants of the swap. So imagine the patience and metinculousness in doing 50 of these ATC.

ATC - Playing Old by Gagay Li Collins
Wow! Ces de Guzman aka Gagay Li Collins embossed the image of a boy in an upside down position. Then handwrote in metallic blue pen : we didn't stop playing because we grew old; we grew old because we stopped playing"
Ho humm... reminds me of one of my favorite place to browse in a mall : children's toys. I usually just smile when the salesperson would ask for whom I would be shopping, for I am shopping for myself!

Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs 2014 Writing Project
Hope I would be accepted for the 3rd year in this annual endeavor of Janette Toral. I still have the souvenir t shirts for 2012 ( a white t shirt) and 2013 (a black t shirt) but aside from these : best day for getting to know the speakers and the subjects. In 2012, the hot topic then was the e commerce law and how that affects blogging and libel issues - law is into limbo, unresolved. In 2013, I noticed more participants and that focus on how much hot it was to be a digital influencer - of it being a career, a field, and industry and not just a personal endeavor as it had started.
I am nominating the following blogs from the list of those considered:
1. http://www.solesearchingsoul.com
I got to know Apple, the blogger, personally on an event at Lancaster City. She is young and vibrant, full of zest. It is this personal warmth that endears her and translated into her blog.
2. http://rakethub.com
Sherlane is a bubbly friend who apprenticed under Janette Toral. Sometimes one gets to the cross roads in life or simply wants something extra, another way and her blog provides that.
3. http://thedailypedia.com
Pedia means knowledge and it provides just that .. entertaining knowledge. For these, it will be popular and attractive.
4. http://matakawnabata.com
FOOD! We need to nourish or simply pig out. As a child, I remember I would always be escorted by a baker from our store to the wet market and to have a merienda : halo halo and palabok. It was a treat for me. Thus a blog that showcase food is always welcome!
5. http://quitesimplebits.com -
We all dream of a simply life, but reality makes life actually more complicated that it should be. Well, here is to supporting a blog that chronicles that.. an attempt at a simply life.
6. http://profitblitz.com
Very informative blog and universal!
7. http://www.datelinemovies.com
I am a movie aficionado and this one I understand.. very simple.
8. http://doktour.blogspot.com
I consider this an old fashioned blog : one written by an individual to communicate and share, not for profit or career on the internet.
9. http://www.bpotruestories.com
The blog caught my attention with its story of suicide and other facts. The BPO is an industry and although it is niched, i find it very interesting.
10. http://notyourordinarymum.com
I love personal blogs! It is this sharing that makes them interesting!
Likewise, special mention should be given to sponsors to the writing project:
