I am not gifted with crafty hands that's why I have to think of some other ways on how to present the cupcakes I am planning to give to Alyssa's teachers as a thank you present and a Christmas gift as well. Good thing I was able to get my hands on photoshop and learned to do digiscrapping. I'll just print them out and paste on a toothpick. (I'll post the finished product soon after I made them.)

I am planning to give 3 cupcakes each (she has 6 teacher!!! my golly!!!) with the words, "THANK YOU" "MS._____" "HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS". In addition, I am making (hope it finishes within the week) an Audi-Visual Pressentation (AVP) of Alyssa's whole year in Nursery in DVD format for the teachers to keep.

I decided to make them last night around 11pm, but untill 2am, I've done nothing. LOL So after walking Alyssa to school and doing the mommy errands, I hopped on to my bed and started working on it.

After 3 hours.. GOODNESS!!! I'm done!

For the 1st cupcake...

For the 2nd cupcake... Btw, Ms. Maria is Alyssa's favorite teacher. She no longer stays with them and is now in the big school, but she is always happy whenever Ms. Maria visits and help in Nursery.

And for the 3rd... Just wishing a Holly Jolly Christmas.

This design is ok for a Christmas cupcake, so if any of you would want to have it printed, please feel free to do so. If you happen to like the other designs as well, just leave me a message and I'll be happy to change the texts for you.

Now, my another problem is how to wrap those cupcakes. LOL... Must have to find it out very soon...

Just before going to church, we all decided to dress in red and have our Christmas Photoshoot. We didn't have so much time, so we just placed the camera on top of the table and set the timer and shoot away.

Here's what we got...

Posing while Daddy tries a few shots.

This is one of the nicest we had.

We hope to do another shoot when the weather's fine to achieve a good lighting.

Actually, this is not the real background of this picture.. I just tried following one of the tutorials and luckily, I did it! Just so proud that I already know how to change backgrounds of pictures and fold corners.

The picture was taken April 22 2007 during the 2nd year death anniversary of our beloved TinTin. She died during our wedding reception, so we decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary the day after.

I am so glad to see the outcome of my mix and match design. It's so cool!

I made this layout for the scrapbookflair challenge with "Inspiration in Scrapping" as the theme. I didn't got the place, but I am so happy to receive wonderful comments from scrappers from the different parts of the world.

My super loving husband and my super sweetie daughter are my inspirations in every layout I make.. I am always eager to scrap because they have lots of memories to be treasured. And I am proud to show them how artistically their pictures came out.

They are my life.. my everything!

I have a pretty little friend in my friendster account who has very lovely photos so I visited her account and went straight to her photos section. As I browse her pictures, I can't stop reading all the comments of her friends to each of the photos. And as I read them, there was a word that caught my attention and it is "digiscrap".

 

So, right after I encountered that word, I immediately searched it in google. The first site that I entered was amsdigiscraps and when I saw the contact details of the site, I emailed her and she helped me make my first layout through the tutorial sites she gave me. Her name is Amber and I hope she knows how thankful I am for all her help. Right after I made my first LO, I emailed it to her and from then on, I can say that I am addicted to digiscrapping...

My warmest thanks to Sam (Sophia Anne Mikaela Lozada) and to her mom (Mommy Vanj).
