Nina! What a wonderful LO! whew, i thought my this months challenge was so hard wala pa nag post. You have no idea how happy I was when I saw a new LO hehe and a great one at that :-) ATC's are truly inspiring and for you to turn it into a LO is doubly great. I love the elements you put together and the space, ganda talaga! TFS!!!
WHOA, NINA! You and Tin are staking the aim so high hindi ko na ata masundan - hahaha. Lalo tuloy ako ninenerbiyos mag-submit ng entry ko :p Seriously speaking though... this is absolutely loovveelly! The warm color of your CS perfectly sets up the mood for the pictures - warm and nostalgic. Plus, the title, journaling block and your baby picture formed the perfect triangular balance which framed the focal picture of your home. What else can I say, but WOW!
gorgeous lo! stamping is really one of ur strengths and i love love everything in this one :)
great layout nina. you really made the whole layout look dreamy and very very classy! you really have lots and lots of ideas brewing, your talent always amaze me.i love the distressing look talaga!!!! the "grumpy" shadow really made a standout.
Ibang klase talaga. Hay, naku. Yan ba ang "confused style"? Pwes, i-market na yan. I like the sentiment too, especially these days when I'm really more than just grumpy about almost everything. Thanks for reminding me that I should be counting my blessings instead.
wow, ganda ganda naman nito.
madalas ko tong babalik balikan para sa inspirasyon.
yeh!
Nina, your page rocks! Love how you put everything together! Really cool!
