DUDE! And a tree too!



I forgot I did this one! He he...a photo of the layout was sitting in my camera just hanging out! I love this old photo of me and my Hubby. It was taken back in the days of hugs, kisses and dating (2002)...now it's more like sighing, farting and honey do lists (I'm NOT the one doing the farting....usually)...plus a beer belly! He he.

This LO was inspired by the prompt on the Pink Ninja's called DUDES!

I used he kit they put together for me as GDT at Scrap Freak. I also got to use my new bottle of Perfect Pearls (from my Vintage Plum kit)!


And here's another for the Scrap Freak DT gallery! These are photos of my Uncle Eddie (Mom's baby bro) and his family. I always wanted an older sibling...and in the late 90's my Uncle moved here from Hawaii with his new wife. Since then, it's like I suddenly had an older brother (2 years older).

I remember as a kid visiting my mother's family in the Philippines...was about 3 or so. My dad kept on toting aroung this little boy.....man was I MAD AT THIS KID! Who did he think he was, stealing the affections of my Daddy! He he. It was my Uncle Eddie...my earliest memory of him...I wanted to beat him up! Now, it's a priceless memory.

He's an awesome husband and father. My Aunt's pretty awesome too. They've got 3 sweet boys. I'm so lucky to be part of the lives of my cousins and see them grow....so lucky!

You'll see more layouts of them in it!


Here's the journaling.


I added some Distressed Stickles to the fruit in the tree...I think they are pears? It is soooo much fun using this stuff!






There's Tristan biting his lip....a habit he can't seem to kick! We always remind him "your lip...your lip" and he smiles!



I got that turquoise shell button in the button section at JoAnn's....got a package or about $2.99! Yes, I hope you don't get sick of seeing them in my scrappy creations! He he!

My Prince! Scrapbooking a Wedding Photo...FINALLY!

I am on a roll! Here's another project I busted out this week! I entered this layout (LO) in the "Favorite Quote" contest over at the Vintage Plum website! I'm tellin' ya, the contests and kits are really helping me get some scrapbooking done! This photo from my wedding was taken nearly 7 years ago! I'm lovin' the colors in the March 2009 Kit I got last week! And their products are made in the USA!


This LO is of me and my Prince....my Hubby Luke. We will be celebrating our 7 th Anniversary this May. Whoa does time fly!

This photo was taken on my wedding day. We were married in a Cambodian (Khmer) Wedding Ceremony which was elaborate, symbolic and amazing. It was based on a beautiful legend of the origin of Cambodia and a re-enactment of the marriage of the first Khmer prince, Preah Thong, to the naga princess, Neang Neak. It has been said that the father of the naga princess swallowed a part of the ocean, forming the land of Cambodia...this was his marriage gift to the couple. Our ceremony was a very abbreviated one, lasting only one day but these ceremonies usually last anywere from 3 days to a week!

If you're interested in reading more about the Cambodian Wedding Ceremony, I found some very detailed info on this website:
KhmerInstitute.org



I had a wonderful time creating this LO! I love using kits because it helps speed up the process of creating! I worry too much about all the little details sometimes! Having everything coordintated shaves off SO MUCH TIME!!!! I've got 2 rugrats pounding on my scraproom door every few mintues!!!! I don't have much time to waste going...."does this patterned paper go with this?"...."hmmmmm".....thanks VP for putting together such a great kit!
