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).
