Birthday Layout

Aside from the tradition of celebrating monthly birthdays before turning one, it has become a tradition that each kid gets to blow the candle on the birthday cake

On a Roll

Just when we do not have a helper around, that's when the time mojo keeps rolling. I finished tags and atc for swap, 2 layouts for January and almost 3 layouts for February. February is not over yet and I still have to work on a mini album page swap.

The secret - keep it simple. Not much layers, techniques and what have you. I may not be able to learn and explore new techniques, but I get to complete more projects.

Below are the layouts I have completed so far. What I am happy about these projects is that I was able to use several years old papers and embellishments in my stash. Not to mention extending the mileage of my tools as well.

Copic markers

I never thought that i will get hooked with copic markers. The first time i learned about it, I know it is not for me. Coloring is not my thing. But when I started to stalk Nichol Magouirk and Jennifer Maguire and admire how they these markers turn stampes images into life, I slowly gave in and tried on initial colors. The first attempts were a little bit disappointing, until I slowly got the hang of it. I only have a handful of the colors, but I was able to mix match and create some cards and the latest one is an invite for my son.

I printed the copic color guide and hopefully add more to my current set.
