"Head, shoulders, knees and toes"

You're probably familiar with the kiddie song "My toes, my knees, my shoulder, my head" or maybe the other one that goes, "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" and I'm sure you've got a body part of your baby that you simply adore. My little girl has these chubby cheeks that I can't get enough of. I love to kiss her and sometimes I pinch her cheeks because they are so cute and soft.

Well our new prompt for Scrap That Baby is all about your baby's body parts. Scrap something about a part of your baby's body whether it's his/her hands, feet, eyes or nose. Check out the STB blog for more inspiration. Here's my take for this challenge:

Everything I used in this layout is from American Crafts. I used left over strips of patterned papers and punched their edges with different border punches to create this simple but fun design.

And I just found out that this layout won me a price from American Crafts too! Yey! AC is one of my favorite scrapbook manufacturers and I just love their products. You can see the announcement here.

Wow what a great post-birthday present for me. =) Hope you could join us at Scrap That Baby.

TFL!

Sweet November

Wow November already??? I really need to start working on my Christmas t0-do list now. Had fun yesterday with little Marcie as we went Trick-or-Treating at the mall. She was so happy with the sweets she got but I had to hide some of them or she'll eat them all in a day! lol

This year I decided to dress up Marcie as Pucca. She loves watching the Pucca cartoons and it so happened I found an old red Chinese inspired shirt (yes, it was mine) and I turned it into a dress instead for Marcie. Hehe, that saved me from a couple of bucks from buying her a costume. I used a Styrofoam ball and painted it black (I didn't have any black paint around so I used black shoe shine, haha). I cut the ball in half and inserted them in two separate hair nets. I then tied Marcie's hair in two buns and attached the styrofoam balls on top of them to make them look bigger. I also painted her cheeks with red "dimples" using lipstick to make her look more like Pucca.

Well the 1st day of the month for me is starting out great. I just saw Artz de Scrap blog and found out I won their Altered Tin Challenge! Sweet! It's been so long since I last joined a challenge and I'm glad I was able to submit my entry (though last minute) or I wouldn't have won. Thank you Artz de Scrap! :)

And since November 1 is All Saints Day, we went to the cemetery to visit our departed loved ones (my dad, grandpa, uncle & great grandmother). It was like a family reunion coz most of my relatives were there. Had some good food, a bit of scary stories, and finished the day with a prayer. May all the souls of those who've gone before us rest in peace.

Hope we'll all have a sweet November ahead.

Toots on a Rainy Day!

I was about to go to sleep but I decided to take a little peek on my blog. I then saw from my right side bar that Moxie Fab World posted the winners for their rainy day challenge. I was curious to see who won coz I also submitted an entry a few days ago. And wow I was chosen as one of the winners! Yey! I'm all smiles now and I don't think I'm sleepy anymore. lol. Check out the announcement here. And here's my winning entry:

What a fun rainy day. I got to meet up with my high school friends this afternoon too and it was fun. Thanks Moxie Fab World!

Holy Cow!

Holy cow! I didn't think this would be real but it actually is. :) I submitted to a DT call for Purple Cows a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, I didn't make it in the team but a few days after the DT members were introduced, I received an e-mail from Purple Cows and they told me they would be sending me a 2-in-1 combo trimmer as a token of appreciation for me because of submitting to their DT call. They also asked me if I could be a guest designer for them in the future. Wow! That's great news. And unexpectedly, this afternoon, Mr. Air 21 rang the door bell and I was surprised to see a huge box for me.
I immediately saw the label Purple Cows on the box and that's when I knew I wasn't actually dreaming when I read their e-mail. lol.
Thank you Purple Cows!

Oh and I just wanted to share this simple altered clock I made. It's a gift for a debutante which my mom asked me to make as one of her gifts for the 18 treasures. I also made another clock for another birthday girl but wasn't able to take a photo of it because after I finished it, it had to be wrapped right away. Hehe.
Gotta go now to try my new trimmer. TFL!

Beary Toots!
