When you are a mother, your focus diverts to your child and when you get a hobby, most of your creations are related to your child.
Finally I was able to scrap! Yay! There are a lot of things that I want to do in the digiworld and I am excited. This morning, I was able to make this page, inspired by my child of course.
I am currently making another page later today and when I am done, I will surely publish it.
Two weeks ago, I got an email from Laurie and she's inviting me to be a member of her creative team. I was stoked because I never got an invitation before so this was a milestone in my scrapping career (if you can call that one). I pondered on whether to accept the invitation or not because I know I will be busy on the coming months as graduation day nears. But then, my love for Laurie's works prevailed so I closed my eyes into accepting to be one of her creative team members.
Anyhoo, Laurie's Scraps is in the Designer Spotlight at Digital Scrap Cafe and she is hosting a template challenge for you all to enjoy. And of course, where there's a challenge, there's a prize! Click on the template preview below to know more about the challenge and the prizes for it. This is going to be fun I'm sure!
The challenge is just the tip of the iceberg because Laurie's shop at Digital Scrap Cafe is on sale as well! Grab Laurie's Scraps at 50% off! Now isn't that a great deal for all of you?

Or if you feel creative enough or you want a burst of colors and play with ribbons, ricracs and stitches, this collab by Laurie's Scraps and Pure Creativity Designs would fit your mood.

Happy New Year to all of you! Look who's slacking? Me of course! And there are tons to do for this first month of the year. How are your holidays? Did you have fun with your loved ones like I did? I'm sure you all ate too much like me so aside from trying to keep our resolutions for this year, we are also in a month of dieting.
Anyway, I am saddened to announce that I left Scrap That Idea's Creative Team. There are a lot of things going on right now with my personal life that I do not feel that I'd be competent enough to give the store my hundred percent commitment. And because parting is such a sweet sorrow, I am giving away Mel Hains' Things That Go kit as a parting gift. Here is a preview.
If you like this colorful kit for boys, just post a comment here in this post until January 9 (Saturday) and I will make my son draw lots for the lucky winner. I will post the winner on January 10. Goodluck!
For those who wants to scrap a layout but seems to have lost mojo because of some slacking during the holidays you might want to check out on Anita's Monthly Challenge at DSC. This challenge just kicked off this month and for January, DSC is challenging you to create a layout using a black or dark background and using a black and white picture. Those who will join the challenge will get a $2 at Anita's Shop and Mr. Random will also give out $5 to a lucky winner. Head on to Anita's Monthly Challenge to get your January freebie (a paperpack) too! So there's nothing to lose, it's a win-win situation. You get a freebie, will be able to create a layout, and you'll also have a coupon! What are you waiting for? Join us at Digital Scrap Cafe!
It's my son's 5th birthday today so we had a mini celebration in our household. I bought sans rival as his birthday cake and then baked lasagna, my dad bought chicken, ice cream and the traditional noodles for long life, while my mom gave me the money for the lasagna ingredients. We didn't invite any guest but the little boy's oh so happy. He's been singing the Happy Birthday song the whole day and when he's not singing, he's shouting "It's My Day Today!" This year's celebration wasn't grand but the kids were happy and that's what matters most. Caillou's even singing Happy Birthday for his brother while I'm posting this.
So anyway, today's also the birth day of my being a site CT of Digital Scrap Cafe. I'm really thrilled with this development in my scrapping "career" because I am learning more day by day in this craft. And by the way, DSC is hiring for their Praise Team Call, anyone interested may apply!
Lastly, I was given a good news for my real work (for those who don't know, I'm a teacher). The supervisor gave me my appointment for being a permanent teacher in the government. Yay! Today is really a great day! A birth day of sorts.

Hello! I am Mars. I am a kindergarten teacher, a mother, and a weirdo. I write whatever I feel and see. I have three kids named Carlos (8), Caitlin and Caillou (6yo twins) who always manage to surprise me.
I don't get to write as often as I want to which is such a pity on my part. But bear with me and my shenanigans and enjoy the ride.
