Travel Album 2018-2019

by Leave a Comment

During last year's lengthy lockdown , I delighted in looking through older family photos, specially those of our wanderings and travels. Tapping through thousands of shots became an escape and also a source of joy. I love photographs and their ability to transport me back to places I once visited and experiences I once had. This beloved quarantine past time led to me finally compiling three trips worth of photos and precious memorabilia into a hefty pocket-page travel album! The trips I documented are from 2018-2019 when I went to a "no kids trip" with Kayo to Hong Kong (2018) and to Read More

Project Life: Kota Kinabalu 2017

by Leave a Comment

At long last! After a year and a half, I've finally completed our Kota Kinabalu family vacation Project Life album! I have not spent enough time working on my PLs lately but I did find some down time last week so I decided to wrap it up and put the final details. So happy to complete it! It's fitting that I post it this Mothers Day weekend. As we all celebrate moms, I also choose to celebrate children and families and milestones. This trip was definitely a big moment for us as a family. It was our first time to take the kids on a vacation out of the country and it was also their first Read More

Best Days: Project Life 2017

by Leave a Comment

I didn't get to scrapbook during International Scrapbooking Day last Sunday, but I was able to start working on a flip through video of my 6x8 2017 Project Life album which I'm sharing at the end of this post. Our family shared many beautiful and strengthening moments together last year. It's definitely uplifting to look back on them. Even more so when you see it all laid out before you in words and imagery. I can't help but be thankful for life, my husband, kids, friends -- everyone and everything! So as a belated celebration of Scrapbooking Day, I'm sharing some of our best moments Read More

December In Depth

by Leave a Comment

I hope the first week of your 2018 has been good and full of promise! While I spend the last few days dreaming, setting goals and creating game plans for this year, I also took a good look on how last year panned out and what amazing things I experienced and learned. I also made it a point to complete documenting my 2017 December Daily. In case you didn't know, this is a Christmas and year-end activity I've been doing the last three years, which I picked up from designer and scrapbook extraordinaire, Ali Edwards. It helps me reflect more intentionally on what Christmas is all about and makes Read More

Hold On To The Holidays

by Leave a Comment

Patterned paper in red and green, details of shimmery gold, little star-shaped embellishments and stamped holiday greetings — it was the 16th of January but the workshop table was covered in Christmas cheer! This was how Craft Party PH opened the year. In partnership with Life Documented Manila and with Anna Ignacio as instructor, we held a holiday-themed memory keeping workshop entitled, Hold On To The Holidays, where participants learned how to document their beautiful Christmas and New Year celebrations while still fresh in their memories. Mia and I thought it would be a great way to Read More

Remembering One

by 2 Comments

It seems like a very long time ago when I think of it, but it's only really been three months since One, a week long art festival that took place at Bonifacio Global City. A fantastic mix of both international and local contemporary street artists amazed us as they took over walls and painted murals all over the city last May. Kayo and Honeycomb Communities, in partnership with Le Basse Projects, organized this event which is the first of its kind in the Philippines. And because Kayo was deeply involved in the event, busy attending to its many details, the kids and I had to uproot ourselves Read More

Scrapbooking Love, Rekindled

by Leave a Comment

I love compiling photographs and I'm the type who likes to keep concert tickets, boarding passes and the tags that come with the gifts I receive. When I was in grade school until I became a teenager, I diligently kept scrapbooks and a big wooden chest where I stored memorabilia. But as I grew older and busier with "real life," I had slackened in my memory keeping and instead of meticulously laying out photos and souvenir in albums, I just dumped them in a box. There even came a time when I just grew tired of all the"junk" I had collected and threw a bunch of them out. I just didn't have the Read More
