FREEBIE: Christmas Template by Jacinda

Sorry for the slow updates here because I'm just too busy with some online works and pre-occupied about our upcoming HK trip in December. I just heard from my friend Caryl who is in HK that it's about 10C now there and probably will drop more in December so I'm contemplating if I'm still going to buy boots like this UGG Classic Tall. Knowing that we'll only be there for only 4 days and there's no way I can use it again, I guess I will just use rubber shoes for the trip.

Anyway, here's a freebie CHRISTMAS Template from Jacinda that I wanted to share. I also browsed her blog and found her layouts appealing. I guess I'll be scrap lifting one of her layout.

Updating my Project 365 Photobook Layout and more

Poor thing, I wasn't able to shop for discounted digital scrapbooking kits during the {inter}National Digital Scrapbooking Day! Oh how I missed those sales. Last year I was able to grab some nice kits at half the price or for only $2 now I got none. Anyway, I was too busy with so many things that I was not interested in grabbing any and actually I was not even excited about it unlike the previous years. Maybe because I am not scrapping much lately.

Yesterday, luckily I got some free time in the afternoon and I was in the mood to open my Photoshop so I updated my Project 365 (photo-a-day) layouts. I was actually behind for about 4 weeks so I hurriedly scrapped some pages and I am happy with the results. I was really tired that afternoon and it's a good fat burner for me since I am sweating (no AC that time) that time.

Right now I'm on my 1st week of November layout and few more weeks I'll be able to finish it already. I can't wait to have it printed over at ARTSCOW (where else) once again.

FREEBIE: Simpy Yin Templates

I just love Simply Yin's templates and her style of scrapping. Actually I have used her templates, which i re-arranged to suit the layout that I wanted. It makes my life a bit easier when I use it on my photobooks. Here's another template from her free to download. She is so generous. You can download it at her blog and hope you can use it too like what I did.

Anyway, I am itching to use these templates once again. I know the holidays are coming up so tons of photos are available once again to scrap. At the meantime, I need to download some photos at my memory card and dose myself with natural fat burner to make me more mobile. Ahhh I just need some veggies and fruits.

My 6th ARTSCOW 39 pages 8 x 8 Photobook

This is my 6th ARTSCOW 39 pages 8 x 8 photobook that came last October 20th after over a month of ordering. I did understand the delay because we had a great flood here last month that for sure contributed to the delay. Anyway, I am so happy with the results once again.

front

back and front (i'm a lil' dissapointed bec. it was a bit off center, maybe my fault on my layout or their error but nevertheless it came out great.

Notice the stitch that holds the photobook thus making it more durable and you can lay it flat out without worrying that the pages will fall off.

I wa able to scrap the photos of our highschool batch '84 motorcade and alumni night in Photoshop CS3. I got a great deal bec. should have paid $31.38 (photobook $19.49+ 11.99 -shipping) BUT I only paid for the shipping $11.99 bec.of the FREE 39 pages coupon promo that I used. From time to time Artscow give discounts and promos to their customers.

Oh btw, ARTSCOW not only prints photobook but photos, personalized bags, umbrellas, wallets, pillows and more, perfect gifts esp. now that Christmas is coming.

My 5th ARTSCOW 8x8 Photobook

Yay, I definitely forgot to share this earlier. This is my 5th Photobook that I ordered from ARTSCOW last June.

I made this photobook as a very late gift for my mom instead of giving her a whole life insurance package. I scrapped her 75th birthday photos and that was 2 years ago..LOL. I added 4 more pages so the 20-page became 24 pages 8" x 8" Photobook. The book was hard bound and STITCH bind. so it's durable unlike those that only offer glue bind. I made it at Photoshop CS3 using a photo template form simplyyin.blogspot.com and I just added some elements and papers.

LOOK 20 page costs $9.99

I added 3 more pages 1.50 (50cents each page)
$11.49 + $7.99 shipping fee = I should pay total of $19.48

but i only paid $9.49 because I used a coupon. Great savings huh!! If you'll sign up as a new member you'll get lots of credits and discount too! So sign up now at ARTSCOW.
