Dannah's Nicknames

The layout below is for Scrapstars Nickname Challenge and Marix's Triple Treat, particularly for Treat # 2:



My journaling reads:
Dannah - most people call you by this name
Ayah - the nickname you never got to use
Nene- close family members call you by this name especially your Daddy
Baby Girl - that is how I'd like to call you, even when you're all grown up
Boy- your Ninong (godfather)-best friend calls you by this name.
I don't know why because it's a secret between the two of you
Deng - Che (Cheng) and Pau (Andeng) call you by this name in your "make-believe" world.

Materials used: White cardstock, Basic Grey (Sultry) patterned paper, American Crafts Thickers, MM brads and Tiny Stickers, Prima flowers (pink and green are from Scrapwords), Autumn Leaves buttons, transparency (butterfly and swirl), Fancy Pants stamps

When it rains, it pours...

Now I believe in the saying that when it rains, it pours...The first three quarters of the year 2008 had been very fruitful for me as far as scrapbooking is concerned. I was able to complete a total of 140 layouts, a lot of mini albums and even altered items. Thanks to the contests and challenges I joined in.

I am posting some more prizes and RAKS I won from different scrapbooking sites in the US. I received two of them last Friday (November 7) and the other two yesterday (November 11). Thanks to Chiqui Gutierrez, her mom Tita Shirley (my former officemate) and her sister (Cherie - my prizes were shipped to her place in the US).

RAKS!!!

Last month, I had issued a DT challenge at Scrapwords and a member challenge at Scrapmuse.

For Scrapwords, my challenge was to create two birthday cards using Leslie's (owner of Scrpawords) favorite color combo which happens to be brown and pink/light blue as well as mine (orange and apple green). Leslie and I are "birthday sisters" for we share the same birthday. I issued this challenge during the early part of October when my kids weren't sick yet. Here is the photo of the RAK that I'm giving away:



Congratulations to Happy Forever! I hope you will enjoy this RAK.

For Scrapmuse, the challenge is to scraplift any one of my LO's in the Scrapmuse gallery using orange and apple green color scheme, similar to what I am having in my blog for this month. Only two members participated in the challenge so I'm giving away to RAKS to Jennifer of Alaska and Peggie of Ohio. Congrats ladies and thank you for taking my challenge.

Here are what the both of them will be receiving:



Stay tuned for I will be posting the photos of the RAKS that I will be giving away for my Birthday Challenge in this blog.
