Cherish

Leica says, KAYA!


Journaling Reads:
Every girl wants to be a princess. I always wanted to be a princess. That is why, when I celebrated my 18th birthday, I made sure that my dress would be like any princess would wear. This uber glamorous long pink gown will symbolize all the beautiful things happened in my life that I will always cherish.

Materials Used:
Basic Grey Scarlet's Letters, Heidi Swapp black label holders, ribbons, gold rhinestones, gold staples, photo corners, black Bazzill cardstock, pink Colorbox, distress ink, Staedtler pens, foam tape, glue, and double-sided tape.

Techniques Used:
Distressing for the picture so it would blend in with the paper and also handwritten journaling for an added personal touch.

About ME:
Hola! I am Leica Ann Odulio y Jiongco, you can address me by my nickname Leica. I'm named after a German camera, Leica since my dad's hobby is Photography. I, being a frustrated artist, do love artsy fartsy things even though I'm not that creative. As of now, I really love scrap-shopping than scrapping itself. I have started shopping for scrapbooking materials since December 2006 and now I have 3 diecut machines (which I dont use) and have oodles of things that a normal pro-scrapbooker has. Although I always have a reasonable excuse behind my endless hoarding escapade. You see, I'm a third year BS Child Development and Education student at Miriam College, who really wants to be a successful pre-school teacher who also wants to run her own daycare. Hence, I believe that I could use my scrapbook materials with my career and I hope I could prove that I could use scrapbooking itself in the education system. I am thinking of using "Scrapbooking: Could it be a major breakthrough for the educational system?" as one of my papers. Maybe after few years, your soon to be children's cards would be like scrap pages wherein you could see pictures of them painting or writing their names and the written observation of their teachers. So there, I love scrapbooking not just because it is my most beloved hobby nor because it is one of my greatest investments in life but because I truly see a beautiful future behind this most intriguing and engaging hobby ever.
