Toot!!!

| cristina

I am really proud to say that the LO I posted yesterday was chosen to be scraplifted for the March ’09 Scraplift Challenge at Snap and Scrap! Go check it out here!

Tonight I scrapped the next piece of the Valentine hunt. I’m not done yet! 🙂 More to come soon.
For this page, I used the same kit I used to decorate the small mailbox (tutorial here), Que Sera Sera by Polka Dot Plum. You can find that great kit at ScrapOrchard and Sunshine Studio Scraps.

Monthiversary #21

| cristina

Thursday DH and I had our little adventure in the city: we took the bus to go to a fancy restaurant, had a lovely dinner with wine pairing, and got a cab to get back home (no drink&drive for us!).

It was a lovely, lovely evening. We took some pictures at the restaurant but since I brought my big camera I didn’t trust to have a picture of us taken (the light was really low – candlelight! – and I was pretty sure nothing good would turn out if we had the picture taken by someone who doesn’t know the camera). So, once we got home and put on our PJs ready to go to bed, we took a few timed shots on the sofa. Here’s one of the cutest.

I used Bree’s latest kit for this, Tropical Daiquiri. That kit is so sweet, it inspires me a lot of romanticism!!

My First Baby Page Ever

| cristina

There’s a new challenge over at ScrapMatters and I love it! It’s called My Story Matters and the first challenge was to scrap about our birth.

So I did my first baby page ever, and was it tough! This is such a special memory and I wanted to make it just right.

I did the shadows by hand because Photoshop Elements wasn’t doing a good job with the preset shadows on such a light colored background paper.
The next challenge is to scrap about the origin of our name.

Another Valentine’s Day LO

I took a ton of pictures on Valentine’s Day and I’d like to scrap many of them to document what a lovely day we had. 🙂

Here’s the first pictures of DH opening his card and trying to figure out where the scavenger hunt starts! 😉

I’m very tired this week so I have been scrapping almost nothing at all! Hopefully I’ll be able to recharge my energy this weekend (but I already know I have to bring some work home, so we’ll see..)!

Polka Dot Plum Blog Train

| cristina

The Polka Dot Plum CT girls are hosting a 2-week long blog train that you don’t want to miss!

Every day you can collect a quick page made with the gorgeous Sensory Overload:


The first stop is on the PDP blog! My stop is #13 and you should have arrived here from Sharon’s blog!

So, with no further ado, here’s the quick page I prepared for you:

As you can see, it’s very versatile, so you can use either of the 3 rectangles to place photos and/or journaling. Flip it, play with it and personalize this quick page adding the elements that you prefer!
Here’s an example I did using the 2 taller rectangles to place photos and the other rectangle for the journaling and adding an alpha for the title.
