Noel

| cristina

Well, it’s not Christmas yet, but Mari’s new vintage Christmas kit, Noel, made me want to pull out some pictures from last year and finally get them scrapped! 🙂

The kit is absolutely gorgeous and so rich! I love all the gold elements!
I played with it already and got 2 pages done:

I’m so happy to finally get more pages done from last year! It was such a special time and I wanted to preserve that feeling.

I’m sure I’ll use it again because I’m absolutely in love with this kit!

Reminiscing..

| cristina

I started scrapping pictures from this weekend. Actually, I didn’t take that many pictures (it was so hot! And the weather was hazy so the light was really bad.. But I like the ones I took!) so I think I’ll be doing only a couple more pages.
Anyway, I did this for the Grand Theft LO at ScrapMatters, lifting none other than the fabulous Erica Zane! 😉

On a personal note, exactly one year ago I was sitting through Day 2 of the preliminary exam.. I was a bit disappointed about how I did on Day 1, and was afraid about Day 3 coming up.. but mostly, I just couldn’t wait to be done with it all!
Well, as you all know, I did even better than expected on the exam, ending up at the top of the class.. So what could have been a dreadful memory is actually a sweet one. But, as I see the students who are about to face their exam (theirs is next week), I sympathize and wish for them to get over with it quickly!

$2 Tuesday!

It’s that time of the week again… $2 Tuesday!! 😉

My Story Matters

******************************************************************

I really cannot understand how the weekend flew by so fast! It was a good weekend, albeit too hot. Today is going to be the hottest day so far and I’m not looking forward to it! :-S
I did get quite a few pages scrapped, but there’s only one I can show today.
I scrapped this for my favorite challenge ever, the My Story Matters challenge at ScrapMatters. I’m proud to say I’ve done them all, and this is #15. However, this was a tough one. We had to scrap about something we were proud of when we were in middle school/high school. And I really didn’t know what to scrap!! There’s nothing I was really super proud of.. so I ended up scrapping about playing the flute.

I took the picture on Saturday after spending the day in the heat: I was worn out and the picture turned out super crappy.. and I was way too tired to take a better one. 😉 So I played around with the overlay/soft light modes, and ended up loving the texture! 🙂
Check out this gorgeous pack by Erica, Fill in the Blank:


I know for sure I’ll be using it over and over!!

It’s a Call!!

**************************************************************

I remember last year, after the celebrations for ScrapMatters’ 1st birthday, applying for the CT call. I even created this blog appositely. Well, you know how things went: I wasn’t chosen, but I kept blogging (too much, maybe? 😉 ) and spending a lot of time at SM, and 2 months ago I finally made it in the hybrid CT. 😉 A dream come true!
So it’s with particular fondness that I announce that it’s now time for a new CT call at ScrapMatters:


I can truly say it’s a fantastic team to be part of, so if you love SM even a tiny bit, give it a try!

Now a brief update on me: I haven’t been scrapping this week (crazy week!) and I’m itching now!!! 😉
I celebrated 10 years with DH yesterday.. 😀
And I’m so glad the weekend is near!
