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 Movies : Ghost Rider

The legend of the Ghost Rider is that he came from hell to exact vengeance, thus he rides a motorcycle and has fire on a chain....

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

Ate Jeannie David is not part of our family tree but she is more than blood. She lost her mom years ago and thus has adopted my Mother and Mom - she had always wished for a daughter .. which is Ate Jeannie David!

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!

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!
