FSCB Challenge 7 - Travel : Baguio Burnham Park

Oh yes, the sun was up... the Burnham park was definitely green specially with its man made lake. No, we did not ride any boat, just walk around, took pictures and so.

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!

My Mother wakes up early - she is already awake by the time I would be falling asleep! So here, while I was snoozing, she had her last minute shopping and had her photo taken.

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 - Carefree

From Magic Mall, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan - it was another bus trip for me and my Mom. We took a Philtranco Bus to their terminal and then a taxi to Bloomfielf Hotel. The taxi was fair, paid around Php42 only. And yes, my Mom paid up to the exact peso.

The next day, the first stop was Burnham Park - my Mom was simply carefree, with a hangover from her win.

The layout is special in that I used a mask purchased by my Mom from Lasting Impression. I do not mind her "hoarding" of Scrapbook materials - shopping is empowering for most, which is why it is a common stress reliever for most.

For the color, I simply used a red and yellow stamp pad from All About Scrapbooking (sorry, likewise no longer available - their current ink pads contains two colors, which appears more economical but more difficult for me to use. I prefer the one stamp pad, one color line).

From the scrappin days and freebies of the contests - we do have a lot of the same theme papers, so as not to be repetitious print, I simply use the white backside!
