Feels Good

September 8, 2009 | cristina

I played catching up with my Project 365 this weekend and it feels good to be *almost* caught up! I’m working on last week now.

So here’s weeks 34 and 35:

Weeks 31-33

August 31, 2009 | cristina

I’m slowly catching up on my Project 365. I’m now 2 weeks behind and hope to catch up this week, although I have lots of other pages to scrap with new kits coming out, so we’ll see how it goes! 🙂
In the meantime, here’s 3 weeks’ worth of pages:

Double WOOT

July 6, 2009 | cristina

Unfortunately the long weekend is over, and going back to work is brutal! We spent a nice weekend: didn’t do anything special, but it was really nice.

I was thrilled to see my keyholder frame using Amy’s Berry Sweet featured in the Hot Hybrid Gallery Picks in July’s DST Insider!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my project in there!!! 😀

Also, I’m one of the 40 scrappers who made it to the final round of the CT contest at ScrapOrchard and though only 4 were cut this round, I doubted I’d make it so far, so I’m super happy!! 😉

I’m all caught up with my P365:

I took pictures of the firework display in our town but was so disappointed. First of all, I was disappointed by the show: it lasted only 25 minutes, while last year it went on for over an hour! Then, I was disappointed by most of my pictures – but I did get a few good ones, at least! 🙂

Project 365 and Other News

June 29, 2009 | cristina

Last week I didn’t do my P365 page because my mom was here and I didn’t have time for it, but this weekend I did 2 weeks’ worth of pages and I’m all caught up again. 🙂

I love the summery colors of these pages! 😉

And, some excellent news: I made it through the second cut in the CT contest at Scrap Orchard and I’m now in week 3!! This cut was a big one and only half of the contestants are going on: I feel so lucky to be going on!

Almost Forgot!

I forgot to post my latest Project 365 page this morning, so here it is:

Since my mom has arrived, I’ve been doing a photo of her every day.. Let’s see if I keep this up for her whole stay or if I get some pictures I cannot keep out of my P365. 😉

Waiting…

June 9, 2009 | cristina

I have a couple of pages to share done with Sugarplum Paperie’s latest kit, Summer Delight. I love all of Nicole’s kits and this one is no exception!

I did this next page for a paper to digi scraplift challenge at The Digi Chick and I fell in love with the page I was scraplifting.. It’s just perfect in every way!
I love how my lift turned out because you can still tell it’s based on a paper LO, but it’s totally digi.. 😉 I did all the shadows by hand and spent all the evening on it, but I’m happy with the result! I even did the faux stitching.. 😉

And then, I’m all caught up with my Project 365 as usual. 😉

I titled this post “Waiting” because I’m waiting, patiently or not, for many things this week! I’m waiting for the renewal of my visa (let me just say it’s been an odissey this year, and I’ll leave it at that..); I’m waiting for my mom’s visit and she’s flying in on Friday; I’m waiting for my 1 month CT guest spot at ScrapMatters (but that won’t be until July 1st, and I’m so excited!!!); finally, I’m waiting to hear who was accepted for the hybrid CT call at ScrapMatters, hoping to get a spot.. that would be fantastic!
And this evening the winner of the SYTYCD challenge at didiscrapaddicts.com will be announced, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Amy!! That girl really deserves to win!

The Final Weekend of the QoS (part 3: All the Other Pages)

June 3, 2009 | cristina

OK, I’m ready to show off all the other pages I did last weekend in the final stretch of the Queen of Scrap.

I’m all caught up with my Project 365:

Finally, I picked up the most gorgeous kit by Erica Zane, Leafy Treetops, that came out on Friday and I really love all the pages I scrapped with it!!

I also really love the pictures I took on Memorial Day! They turned out just gorgeous! I guess I went lucky with the light!

Well, believe it or not, that’s all!
Errrrrr.. actually, I have to take it back: it isn’t all!! I decided I wanted to scrap a page with all the LOs I did this month but as it turned out they wouldn’t fit in just one page, so I ended up making 8!!! 😛

Long Weekend

May 26, 2009 | cristina

I really enjoyed the long Memorial Day weekend! DH came home Saturday evening after a 2 week absence, so this long weekend was much needed too. We enjoyed the nice weather and cool air (it was in the mid fifties and beautiful) and used the smoker last night.
Too bad the weekend is over, and worse still because it’s our 2nd wedding anniversary today! But I really cannot complain.. And the weekend is only 4 days away. 🙂

Since DH came back home my scrapping time has been drastically cut down, but I still managed to get a few pages done over the weekend.

I finished scrapping all my class pictures from kindergarten up to 6th grade!

This page from my 1st year in kindergarten matches this one.
