Flea Market: Love at First Try!

I  discovered  was reminded of something today.  Aside from scrapbooking, I have another passion. Selling. No not the Big Time kind.. Just the Flea Market kind of selling...  As a kid, I would sell home cooked sweets to my classmates, ice-cold watermelon slices to our neighbours.  In college, I'd sell make-ups! I love to sell anything! haha.. I re-lived my happy-selling-days today at the Flea Market organised by PCF, where I sold all-handmade stuff. It was F U N :) 

... especially that my sister was with me :) 

 ... sales exceeded my expectations :):):) met other sellers and future students!  Thanks to Teacher Sam's students and parents from other classes for dropping by our stall :) 

 ... look who came by to show support!

That's all I can share about our event today.. Thanks to all who dropped by, said hi, bought from us. Hope to see you again in our next flea market adventure! :)

On another note, I'd like to share a layout I made for Crate Paper's "Thankful" challenge using Story Teller. My inspiration for the all caps/bold title page is a "SHOUT OUT" because I want to shout to the world how much my little man makes me happy. He is at this stage when he talks nonstop about just anything, about his day, about previous experiences... he's got some "dramas" and he likes telling jokes too. I could go on and on!

So far, I like the simple straightforward page made possible by my eclips, 

a white cardstock, dew drops, buttons, AC flair, some stamps and CP's yummy papers :) 

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Happy Teachers Day!

Thank you, dear Teachers, for loving our children like your own. You deserve to be honored not just today but every day. The world is better and brighter because of you. May you be blessed with joy and good health always, as you carry out your vocation. Thank you thank you so much! 

... my go-to friends when I have to make gift packaging such as these bags: Eclips and a paper stack. Life is so much easier and really fun! 

... pretty bag, with a little surprise inside, adorned with a simple stamped tag, twine and a white prima flower.

... ready for delivery! :) 

Dearest Lolamamang...

We wish you pure and genuine happiness today and everyday... a very good health and many birthdays more to come so that you get to enjoy life with us, your 11 grandchildren! Happy birthday! :)

Love,
Rujim and Miguel

Thoughtful Crafts Monday!

Good morning! Excited to share with you some cute projects I made for a friend using my two most favorite tools: eclips and bind-it-all. 

 ... randomly arranged papers and things and used 'decorate your life' cartridge for the sentiment: "Decorate your life with joy" 

... for this personalized notebook, I stamped "baby" using white paint.

... there, Mommy Lalie can now scribble her precious thoughts about Chase :) You can see more of my handmade creations here.

Thanks for looking and have a happy week ahead! 

Thoughtful Crafts Monday!

Hi! It's another week of good vibes and beautiful things! At ThoughtfulCrafts this week, I'm sharing these oh-so-cute paper bags and boxes that come in different colors and sizes made possible by my latest toy Sizzix Eclips :) I just can't stop loving Sizzix! :)

They can be decorated and altered depending on what purpose you want to use them: a party favor, goody bag, a gift box, a product packaging or to keep some precious little things! Possibilities are endless! :)

Have a great start of the week! Love love love! :)
