How Do I Look?

Happy Halloween Everyone!

 

        I'm pretty sure everybody is busy right at this moment ' treat- a - tricking'. Not me because I have to post this page that I did for Tambayan 's October Sketch Challenge to meet the deadline for submission. This page I created is that of my son 's photos when he had his first eyeglasses last June. Living thousands of miles apart, my children and I depend on advanced technology for our existence and interaction as a family. As in this instance, when my son got his first eyeglasses, he took a 'selfie' wearing them and sent it to me so I could tell him how he looked wearing them.

 

 

 

Jar of Hearts

        I've been thinking of creating a page to celebrate the bond of friendship that I share with 2 great ladies for a while now. And when I saw the inspiration photo at SSIB for their September Challenge, I knew I had to create a page using that. I got inspired by the columns, jars and the colours of fall. Our photos were taken fall of last year when Shirley and I went to visit Alice in Nanaimo Island. Our friendship dates back to the mid 1990's when we all met in Hong Kong

Sweet 'lil Things

        A  happy rainy Monday to all ( It's raining here in Vancouver) ! First of all, I want to share a happy news. My page 'Cherylle' is in the spotlight at About A Girl !!! So thrilled! I want to thank all the ladies over at About A Girl.

 

        Now, in a token of gratitude to a dear friend who formally introduced me to scrapbooking, I made a page of my own photo which she took herself.  I used her sketch to create my page as well. She has quite made a name for herself in the scrapbooking world now , of which I am so proud.This friend is none other than Shirley Mascarina aka Probyte.

 

        For this page, I am linking it up to Shirley's own Tambayan September Scrap this Sketch, About A Girl Sept 15- Lots of Flowers, 1 2 3 Challenge Blog- Sweet- Pink- Florals and Use Your Words Challenge Blog- " Sweet" Thank you and have great day everyone!

 

Happiness is.....

being together.

 

         I’m so loving the sketches in Let’s Get Sketchy! Here is my take for their SeptemberWeek 2 Challenge. This photo is very memorable to me as this signifies my daughter’s entry to being a Doctor of Medicine.

Cherylle

             Hello everybody! Scrapbooking makes me feel great. I've been motivated a great deal since my LOs have been spotlighted at Let's Get Sketchy two weeks in a row. Yay! This is a new page as a result of that great motivation:) . This page is for Let's Get Sketchy's Sept Week 1 Challenge and About A Girl Sept 1 Challenge ( Black , White + One Color).

Let's Get Sketchy's Sept Week 1 

Soar!

     Got tons of photos from my vacation in the Philippines last March. It was a tremendously happy time with my children, family and friends. I had a great time with my young adult children having fun like young kids once again. Here is one photo of my youngest son having an amazingly carefree shot on the zip line. I used the sketch of Let's Get Sketchy August Week 4 Challenge .

A Caterpillar and Butterflies

 

        Hello Everyone! It's me again. I created a new page that I titled ' A Caterpillar and butterflies' just for the reason that the photos of my daughter and I were taken from a butterfly farm that we visited last April in the Philippines. I combined the sketch from Scrap This Sketch Challenge for August by Probyte, About A Girl's August 15 Challenge- White Space and with a new blog that I chanced upon, 1-2-3 Get Scrappy August Challenge 1. For 1-2-3 Get Scrappy, I used the butterfly-'Free'- lace line

@16

Hello everyone! Scrapbooking is great, yay! And I'm falling in love with it.

 

I created a new page combining Let's Get Sketchy's  sketch for August Week 3 challenge, About A Boy's August 1, Back to School challenge and Scrappin' Peeps Weekly LO challenge- 8/18- 8/24 by Probyte which is also school related.

 

Here is my page which I titled ' @ 16'. I used the photo of my son taken when he just graduated from high school and about to start in college.

This Is Rare

Hello everyone! This page of mine is new to me, "MY OWN DESIGN". Very challenging yet very inspiring. My very first attempt to explore and try clustering and layering. And it fits perfectly to this week's challenge at LET'S GET SKETCHY - Anything Goes.

I combined this page with JULY INSPIRED BY CHALLENGE#5 by Robyn - she featured Mary's signature using "BOWS" in her pages and AUGUST TOTALLY RANDOM CHALLENGE by Mary Jene - incorporate distressing in a LO at SCRAPPIN' PEEPS.

My LO is titled 'this is RARE' because members of my family are seldom physically together. My Mom lives in Honolulu, Hawaii, I live in Canada and my children live in the Philippines.It was such a wonderfully happy reunion last April, 2013 when my Mom and I went back to the Philippines for a vacation at the same time....
