I have always appreciated scrap challenges even when I don't always get to submit my layouts. Having a direction/theme/motif for a page is one hard task taken off your shoulders and I do not regret committing myself to these challenges even when it means taking some time off my laundry and housecleaning days (which always results to a higher pile of clothes and a dirtier house to clean, hihi). :-D And I enjoyed this week's challenge in particular 'cause I just like distressed looks in my pages.
Journaling: it was your first experience of school...no daycare...no summer classes...we only had blue's clues, Dora and little Einstein for your training but you sailed through kindergarten with flying colors...top of your class...amazing for a first timer...and you made us very proud...Joaquin Paolo P.

This is gorgeous, Tna! Love the colors, the photos, the distressed embellies and how you pulled them together! And I totally empathize! Because of DS and DH, I shy away from flowery LOs. Kaya nga I often do my ancestors para may excuse to be "girlie!"
thank you candy. :) like you, i go for neutral, earth, vintage colors. pero di pa kaya ng powers ko ang mga layouts and techniques mo, hihihi. i will soon embark on a girlie girl project on female members of my family para magamit ko na yung 2 bitty bags na inuwi ko nung May scrapfest. lol.
Love your LO Tna! I'm so proud of JP! Galing! Mana sa mommy. Hehe. nice combination of colors too.
Wow! congratulations! Love the ribbon and button embellishments. TFS!
Wow Tna! This is a great page! Galing! I love the neutral color. Bagay sa boy LOs.
It is not easy to make a layout with multiple photos. But this one is great! You captured all the details!
