Two RAKS in a DAY

Just the other day, I received two RAKS (random act of kindness), one from South Africa and the other one from Sweden.

The one from Sweden is from Anna B., Design Team Member of My Scrapbook Nook. Last July 17-19, the Nook held an online crop which I participated in. I was so lucky to win in Anna's Ad Inspiration Challenge through random drawing. Actually, I won another one, a $10 gift certificate to spend at the Nook's online shop. Lucky, huh? Two prizes in a day!!!

Here's what I got from Anna B (from her personal stash)- some old Swedish papers, cardstocks (Bazzill and KI Lace), stickers, Prima flowers, Scenic Route rub-ons, chipboard shapes and ribbons:









The other one from South Africa was from one of Journaling Junkie's Design Team, Stefanie Semple. I joined in one of their weekly challenges (REMINISCENCE) several weeks ago.

Here's what I got:





Here is the LO that made me win:



This LO is one of my projects for the LB Scrapaholics BINGO.

Materials used: cardstock, Prima and Cherry Arte patterned papers, ribbon and trims, Prima, Making Memories and Heidi Swapp flowers, metal embellishments, Hambly transparency, American Crafts Thickers, Hot Off the Press alphas, Creative Imaginations journaling paper, Fancy Pants tags, acrylic paint, Ranger Glossy Accents.

Journaling reads:

My earliest childhood memories were set in this garden in our old house in Canlubang. I'd never forget the colorful San Francisco plants as well as the butterfly tree with its purple flowers where I discovered the wonder of play and developed my love for nature. 1972
