Can you tell?

Two of these are $2 frames from Daiso and two are $30+ ones from a local scrapbooking store. Can you tell which is which? :) 

If you would like to learn how to alter these frames on a private workshop, please leave a comment or visit my facebook site by clicking here. Thank you! :)

everyday is...

Mothers Day! 

Now that's a good excuse for me not having to finish these altered frames in time for mothers day. Another follow up excuse is because my son got sick and I got sick. And life got in the way. It would have been perfect if I made it earlier, and posted it on time. But I didn't. That got me a little frustrated.

But I know our moms don't care that much. They love us no matter what. They are patient of our shortcomings. They are happy with anything we give. Anytime. And even if we don't and we can't.  They are the President of our Fans Club. They are the bestest of our friends. 

With that, our moms deserve a mothers day treatment. Everyday. 

So it doesn't matter if these frames are late. Today is mothers day! Happy Mothers Day Mamang and Mommy. We love you both so much :)

life less ordinary

This time of the month is my least favorite time. All women will know why. I just have this huge hate with my pms. It makes me a monster. Worst, the monster feels awfully guilty after every monster-act. Just like how I scolded my 5 year old for trying his best to make me NOT do this layout while I was so EXCITED to finish everything. I snapped. Felt guilty. Put this aside. Played with him. Trampoline. Tunnel. Then I gave him my ipad (as peace offering). Now he is happily playing.... I'm happily blogging. But I can't tell how many minutes this good mood is gonna last *sigh* A friend tweeted me last night to pray the rosary. Her twin suggested I'd exercise. I resolve to do both today. God is my refuge. All the time.

Color room pallete #61 and Creative Scrappers sketch #159  inspired me to make this layout. The color palette is just perfect fot my already-printed photo! This layout tells of how grateful I am of the less-ordinary life God gave me. Even if there are days like this, He never fails to make me realize He is constantly on my side. His blessings and love over powers all bad days combined. 

...used my  doily stamp, MS puncher, and recycled butterflies using prima packaging and added some stickles.

... cut a bird cage, used it for masking, used 3d flower die to make these roses using prima pps, and the center bling was given by Mamang from the Philippines. 

... can you see the cracks courtesy of rangers crackle paint? 

Supplies:

paper: prima

dies: sizzix

stickles

stamp: bridal stamps (kodomo) & fancy pants

That's all for now! So far good mood is still here... I think next to prayer and exercise, scrapping (provided my son has my ipad) helps me get over these least favorite days =) we'll see!

life is wonderful

... because I'm in my favorite room, with two noisy cuties who just wouldn't leave Mommy alone, but strangely I like it. In fact I was able to finish some tasks despite their noise, constantly getting my attention. One minute I was stamping the next minute we were already having a masquerade ball ...

Here's a birthday  card for  a friend. Happy birthday Momi Marge! May God bless you more! You are such a simple, kind, sweet friend. I hope to see you soon...
