HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

It's 12am January 1, 2010 here in Manila and I would like to greet you all a very Happy New Year! Wishing everyone good health and success in this year.

So for my number 1 layout...

No.1

...you have to wait till February! lol! Because my favorite layout is due to be published on Scrapstreet's February issue. I chose that layout because the photo that I've used was overly sweet and emotional. I just fell in love with it.

Thank you so very much for being with me for the past year. I appreciate every single comment that I read from each and everyone of you. I never thought that I could gain so much friends from this hobby. You just don't know how much inspiration and motivation you have given me. I value all your friendship.

Happy New Year!

I just adore this layout. I love using BasicGrey Lemonade Collection against the Kraft cardstock and the black and white photo. This was made last November 2009 using the June kit of My Scrapbook Nook.

No. 4 and No. 3 ...

WOW 4 more projects to go, this is pretty hard. I love all my layouts and projects, I think they are unique and beautiful in its own way. Choosing 4 last more will be tough. Oh well here we go.

Nov. 3

Made this layout May 2009 for my DT task at Creative Scrappers. Love! Love! Love this layout so much. I just love all the distressing on it and my first time using a corrugated board.

No. 4

Made this October 2009 using My Scrapbook Nook's October kit. It was my first time using Graphic45 pps and at first thought I cannot pull it off but I did! And I love the final outcome. It was also featured at Graphic 45's blog

No. 6 and No. 5...

No. 5

Made this layout August 2009 for a final challenge at Scrappin Moms Idol. It was an on the spot final competition. This layout is very memorable to me because it was also my first time to scrap outside my room with the pressure of the competition.

No. 6

One of my most recent layouts done a few weeks ago. I just love everything about this layout, the manufacturer (Cosmo Cricket), the colors, the handmade flowers that I learned from Calia's video tutorial, and the photos.

No. 8 and No.7...

No. 7

Made this layout April 2009 and was inspired by crayons that was why I tried imitating them by making paper rolls using a stripe patterned paper. Love this layout so much. DH looked handsome :P

No. 8

Made this around May 2009 and was one of my first time using Sassafras Lass pps. Love the playfulness of this layout and the photo is too adorable. It was taken when we celebrated Hannah's 1st Birthday.

My Top 10 for 2009 begins NOW!....No. 10 and No. 9

It has been a year since I started scrapbooking and I am happy to say that I enjoy every moment of it. I never thought that I will develop such passion and love for this hobby. So far I have made around 150 layouts for 2009 and a couple of projects.

Since 2009 is near to its end, I decided to checkout all my projects and layouts for this year and list my Top 10 favorites. This will serve as a flashback to inspire and motivate me to continue and appreciate this craft. So for the next couple of days, before we hit the new year, I will post my Top 10.

So here are my number 10 and 9 spot:

No. 9

Made this layout March of 2009. This was my first published layout on an ezine and was invited to be published on Creating Keepsakes but unfortunately i missed the deadline. I included this on my list because I love the photo so much.

No. 10

This layout is very sentimental to me. I think this was my first decent layout when I was still a beginner, one of my initial attempt on scrapbooking. Made this February 2009 and have won several contests from this. This is why I included this on my Top 10 list.

Wow! Choosing only 10 from all my projects is really hard since each of it is really special to me. Just stay tuned for the next few days to see which will enter my Top 10 list. Thanks for dropping by!
