Sleepy Head

Arnie says, KAYA!

Thanks to this challenge by Timi, like Ching, I will be able to use my lace collection, some of which I also won from Timi's birthday challenge last year. The subject of my layout is my adorably sweet baby boy Eagan when he was just a month old and asleep most of the time.

Fellow Again

Arnie says, KAYA!

For my digital entry, the pics I chose were taken during the Opening Ceremonies of the Annual Convention of the Philippine Society of Pathologists. It was during this time where I was one of those who was bestowed the title of Fellow in Anatomic Pathology for the second time, the first time being 4 years ago as Fellow in Clinical Pathology. It was during this moment that I felt truly complete - having attained the highest title of my profession, being side by side with my husband, and with our baby to complete the whole package.

Sweet Summer Sunshine

Arnie says, KAYA!

For my traditional entry, I chose pics taken with baby Eagan (then barely a month old) and my dear mother-in-law before she left for Seattle. It was one of those weekends where my husband felt just like driving away from the craziness of the city and randomly picked White Rock. Our stay was only short but sweet, just relishing the moment under the sun with loved ones amidst the warm summer breeze.

Gold

Arnie says, KAYA!

For my traditional entry, I chose this THING more precious to me than anything. I am not the type who likes wearing jewelry much. I prefer just being bare or if the occasion calls for it, would just settle myself with simple cheap bling. But eversince my husband (then my boyfriend) gave me his precious heirloom, his mom's gold necklace, I swore to wear it every single day of my life. In addition to this is our gold wedding ring (of course) which bears the inscription "Edison (heart) Laarni 08-08-08".




Journaling:
Gold to symbolize your undying love for me. Gold to symbolize our union as we each said "I do" and expressed our unwavering loyalty. Gold to symbolize forever!

Handy Oly

Arnie says, KAYA!

This month's challenge is quite unique and is something new for me since I have never scrapped about anyTHING besides snaps of living beings that constantly inspire me each day. Thanks to Roxannee, I got inspired to create a layout of one of the things that play an important role in my life, yet I have taken for granted as the years went on. This THING is my microscope, an Olympus CH30, which I am so fond of to the point of giving it a name - Oly!


Journaling:
Since I bought my microscope more than a decade ago with my first paycheck, it has always been a constant companion through the ups and downs of my profession - from my early years of training and reviewing for the specialty boards, during the actual practical exam where I brought it along with me for luck, and now as my handy buddy at home. With it, I can finish work faster at home to be able to spend more time with my hubby and son.

And baby makes 3

Arnie says, KAYA!

Greetings to the June birthday girl Janis! I would say that I am one of those scrappers who has never attended a single EB, seldom submits an entry for a challenge, and would just peek at the message threads of the group. Since I gave birth, making a layout got from occasional to rare. So when I chanced upon seeing these Pearls stickers by Hero Arts at a local craft store, I took it as a sign that I must start moving my scrap butt out of the gutter and make a layout. Thanks Janis for this challenge!

Materials:

DCWV Nana's Nursey Baby Boy paper, Teresa Collins 'Tis The Season paper, All About Scrapbooking Craftin' & Scrappin' embellishments, fibers from Carolina's, American Crafts Remarks journaling sticker, American Crafts Thickers glitter letter chipboard stickers, All About Scrapbooking Double Dot chipboard letters..... and for my pearls, Hero Arts Pearls stickers

At Last

Arnie says, KAYA!

Just randomly heard this song in one of my online collection of jazz tunes and immediately fell in love with it. The lyrics and the way the song was sung struck a chord that it stuck like crazy glue in my head. It was originally sung by Etta James and was used in the movie soundtrack of "Wall-E", then currently a remake by Beyonce in her movie where she portrayed the legendary Etta James.

It reminded me of how I spent Valentines Day the past 37 years of of my life with my folks and my friends (not that I'm complaining!) Looking back now during hospital duty, I felt I was everyone's savior volunteering 24 hours duty every Valentine's Day since I had no one special to celebrate it with anyway. But since 2008, my life took a turn when I fell in love with Edison - now my husband and soon to be the father of our baby boy this February 23. Just feels so heavenly to be with someone to call my own - at last!


Journaling:
At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

At last, The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

You smile, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine..... at last!

Classic Sarapapers, Simple Joys chipboard embellishments and stickers, DCWV Love adhesive ribbon, Provo Craft Rob & Bob Studio Snap-Ease, journal strip from Timi's RAK

Jhaymie Turns 1

Arnie says, KAYA!

I have been a member of PS and SE for over a year now, I think, and this is my very first time to submit an entry to Kaya. Though I have not been very much active in the EBs and challenges, I manage to keep myself posted with the members’ blogs, marveling at their works of art, and rejoicing in their triumphs and winnings. For my entry, I chose to submit a digital layout of me and my hubby when we attended my inaanak’s 1st birthday party.


Journaling:
It is just so amazing how time flies by so fast. Who would have thought that it’s been a year since my godchild Jhaymie was born. All I wish for her is good health and joy being wrapped in the care and guidance of Mommy Grace, Daddy Jhun, and Kuya Jhames.

Materials Used/Credits:
Wimpy Chompers Creations She’s Beautiful elements, Fashion Colors papers, Amande Geils Designs No Sugar Added paper, Fab Pink alphas, MM Precious alphas, NBK Mille Fleur journal note, Cheddar Salad font; Art Explosion Scrapbook Factory Deluxe version 4.0
