Future Generation

I manage to finish and upload this layout on time (I hope hehehe) for CJ's Challenge in CPCM - The Flower Power. The requirement is to include five handmade flowers in the layout.

The sketch I used is from Scrapbook Challenges but not sure of the sketch number. =)

The photo was taken last April 2009 when I visited my family in the Philippines and spent some great time with my niece and nephews.

Hidden Journal

Handmade flower - I cut this flower using a flower template. To add some dimensions, I scored the petals, inked the edges and added platinum stickles.

Back 2 Basic Scrapbooking

This layout is supposed to be for challenge#26 at Scrappers@SG that was sponsored by D using sketch#111 at Scrapbook Challenges. The requirement is to create a layout using materials from magazines, newspaper etc, and NO store-bought scrapbook materials.

Hmmmm but I can't help using some acid free materials like adhesive hehehe but other than that, I used magazine/brochure clippings. I hope D would be happy with the result hehehe
