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.

Not too late for a Birthday Challenge

October is my birth month but this year I wasn't able to celebrate my 38th birthday the way I wanted to. I was in the hospital on my birthday (October 12). Dannah and Jigs were hospitalized due to dengue fever (Dannah had typhoid too).It was my saddest birthday ever.

As early as September, I already had plans for my birthday:

Plan #1 - A day at Ocean Park, Mall of Asia and Star City with Jigs and Dannah. I also planned of spending the night in a hotel. I still have plans of pursuing this but maybe in December or January.

Plan #2- I would buy myself a new digital camera. With the "shocking" bill in the hospital, I have to postpone my purchase probably to December.

Plan # 3 - Celebrate my birthday with Chiqui and Ytet (also October celebrants) a day after my birthday. We'll be celebrating our birthdays with the November celebrants Helga and Cora this coming November.

Plan # 4 - A birthday challenge in this blog, which I am pursuing now. It's not yet too late, is it?

The challenge: Scraplift any of my LO's in this blog using my favorite color combination apple green and orange.

Here is a sample LO I created for the challenge during the Scrappin Moms' Idol Finals last October 4:



Photo details:



Email your layouts to mafatima_mercado@yahoo.com on or before November 30, 2008. You may also post your layout in your blog, if you have one then link it here.
