Little Portraits from Heaven by Metrophoto

Metrophoto is brimming with beautiful portraits from little kids to couples and families. I just love how Oly Ruiz captures every emotion and how he makes a seemingly normal shot become one that would make you go WOW. The photo I used is from Metrophoto's Little Portraits from Heaven, a part of its products & services.

Progressive Digiscrapper

I've always been amused by art. Growing up, I would doodle stuff until I had kalyo on my fingers (hehe!). When I was in high school, I got into the Art Class, a section for the entire batch that would concentrate more on well, Art. Come college, I was supposed to take Fine Arts in UP, was on waiting list, but somehow, the artsy fartsy part of me didn't exactly push me to pursue it then. So I ended up studying Business Administration, then Advertising later. I started to appreciate layouting when we put up a computer shop in the first few years of my marriage. I'd get to design business cards, flyers, posters, etc for the SMB and SOHO market of our area.

I've done a few layouts of my favorite photos, but never exactly thought that digiscrapping was possible. I'm just so amazed now at how things are put so nicely in a digital canvas. I was so clueless at digiscrapping that, when my I spotted my friend Nyree's friendster testimonial for me, I said, wow, this is a cool layout! Twas fun and creative! Ey, I want to learn!!! After that, the rest is history :)

Cutting this post short, lemme share with you my very first attempt at digiscrapping. Hehe. Not much here, but as my post title goes, my digiscrapping is progressive. I'm learning from the best at Pinay Digiscrappers. What can I say, I'm in good hands! :)


(di ko pa alam mga embellishments noon! lol)


shabbyprincess.com's freebie kits are a digiscrapper's dream come true. hehe! :)

Dinos at Eastwood City

Here's a scrap from our weekend afternoon laze at Eastwood City. There were a couple of huge dinosaurs on display, plus some other enormous animals. The displays were mainly made of wood or maybe hard plastic... funny how me and hubby and even the kids kept on wondering how in the world was it assembled and taken to a not so huge area in one of the open sections in near the coffee shops. So anyways, I got this new kit from Weeds & Wildflower Designs, "Being Me" and decided to digiscrap on the kids' photos. You HAVE to get the kit! It's awesome :)



The size is set to 1680x1050; just hit on the scrap to view a larger copy.

Blue Sparkles

The rain came today and been on for about two hours already. As usual, the cars seemed to have expanded and the roads are pretty much filled up. Anyways, might as well surf away to ease the traffic. Sharing with you this freebie I found from Magdalena's Blog - Blue Sparkles Kit.
