Hope Layout

Hi!

Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! For me, it's been a relaxing day at home with my family watching TV and enjoying time together. While watching TV in the family room, where I have my crafting table, I finished this layout I'm sharing with you today, titled Hope. It's a layout about our new normal style of life, using face masks when going out, and living very different as we used to because of COVID-19. I made this page for my daughters, to remember these hard days of quarantine, curfew, restrictions, having everything closed here in Puerto Rico, and them not able to enter any place; not visiting family, working, and studying from home, etc.

Love This Layout

Hi!

How are you doing? We are still in quarantine, but this week the government allowed some commerce to start working and bringing their services. Hopefully, soon, everything will be more "normal". I have only gone to the supermarket, pharmacy, and postal office, trying to maintain the social distancing as much as I can. Here, on this post, I want to share with you a layout I made about me using some of the techniques I love the most. Check it here and continue reading to know all the details of how I made it and the products I used.

Let Your Faith Be Bigger Layout

Hi!

Happy Memorial Day! Hope you are having a great day! We are at home, still in quarantine since March 16 (70 days), but I'm happy because we are together and safe! Today I want to share with you a layout I made for the Becky Fleck Sketch Challenge # 173 at A Cherry on Top. It was a quick layout, but with a great message for my daughter. The photos were from 2018, while in 7th grade, that she was invited to the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, to be part of a special program of physics and science. She was nervous because she was the youngest, she didn't have the age required for the program, but it was a great experience every month. She learned a lot of things, met people from other parts of the island, and had a taste of the College experience.

My Sweet 15 Mini Album with Video

Hi!

Hope you are having a wonderful day! Here in Puerto Rico it is very sunny and hot. We are all at home working, and today was last day of school. Yeahhh!!! I want to share with you this 8" x 10" mini album I designed as a gift for my cousin Valeria who turned 15 a few months ago. To create the album I used the Creative Heart collection by Recollection. You can see a flip through video at the end of this post.

Dream Big Little One Layout

Hi!

How are you? Hope you are having an amazing day! Today I want to share with you a beautiful layout I made for my baby. It was a challenge from Cut To You for the International Scrapbook Day. The challenge consisted of scraplifting a layout from their design team, and I decided to scraplift Gwen Wruck's Now and Then Layout. Here is my version:

Sweet Baby Girl Layout

Hi!

How are you? I'm good and happy to share with you a layout I made recently. With my participation in the Spring issue of Scrapbook and Card Magazine, I received a Close To My Heart kit. Everything included in the kit is very pretty, the colors are amazing and one of the papers was full of flowers that can be fuzzy cut, and that's what I did. It is a birthday kit, but I managed to use it for this layout of my daughter when she was a baby.

Sweet 15 Layout

Hi!

Hope you are having a great day! I'm very happy to share with you a special layout I made.  As mentioned in a previous post, for us (latinos), it is very special to celebrate our daughter's 15 birthday. It represents the transition from childhood to adulthood. But since we are in quarantine, we celebrated it at home together and only the front neighbors, my mom and stepdad joined us. The celebration was in the garage/outside, everybody at a distance, to sing her "Happy Birthday". Some friends and family  joined us virtually. Although it was a very simple and quick celebration, she enjoyed it a lot. It was a surprise, she didn't know about the decoration, candy bar, and the "serenata", but she loved everything and her face showed it! We were very happy for that. And today, I'm sharing this double spread layout to showcase some photos of that day.

Bloom Layout

Hi!

Happy Sunday! I'm here today to share with you another layout I made recently. I had this photo of my daughter already printed in my desk because I was planning on using it in a previous layout but then I changed my mind and used another photo. So this time, I decided to use it and use the color in her shirt as the inspiration.

New Smile Layout

Hi!

Hope you are doing great! I'm happy it is Saturday so my husband can take care of our toddler and I can take some time to scrapbook! Now that he's working from home, he works more, a lot more, and I have less time to scrapboook because I'm taking care of the girls and trying to maintain them occupied so he can work and have his meetings. Anyway, here is the layout I'm sharing today. I was inspired by a mood board from the Cut To You HQ group in Facebook during the International Scrapbook Day 2020.

Happy Birthday To You (Quinceañera) Mini Album

Hi!

Hope you are having a great day! We are still in quarantine, I lost track of how many days we've been this way, hopefully this will pass soon. Hopefully a cure for Covid-19 can be found soon, so we can return to our normal lives and our kids can enjoy life as it should be. During this quarantine, my daughter had her 15th Birthday. For us, Latinos, this is a big moment in our daughter's life and we celebrate it big. Our plans were to celebrate it in a "Quinceañera" cruise around the Caribbean Islands but everything was canceled due to the Coronavirus, but I wanted to do something special for her no matter what was happening. I had to improvise some decorations in our house, and thanks to a friend who lent me some fabrics and flowers, I was able to prepare a nice background and take beautiful photos of her. Also, she helped me decorate the wall, thanks a lot Saraí! We did a family and friends Zoom call to sing her happy birthday and surprised her with a "serenata" which she enjoyed a lot and some gifts like this mini album I'm sharing with you today.
