Sept. 26, Friday
8am - Take a quick peek at Scrappin' Moms blog to see if the results are in. Nothing yet.
12nn - I didn't get the chance to check the blog. Too busy. Aaargh!
7pm - Still at the office. Overtime (OT-Y meaning no pay haha). Internet is not available. =(
Around 8pm? - Chatting with Diane regarding the results! The suspense is too much!
11pm - Finally done with my work. I can go home. Quick peek. Nothing still.
Almost 12mn - Asked my sister to take a look at the blog since she still online. Oh-oh! I'm reading the title "Meet the TOP 10 Idol Finalist". Scrolling slowly...Cookie...Alby...Gaye...Hey that's ME!!!! I had to do a double take. Slowly the info started to sink in. My sister was shrieking with excitement. OMG! What have I gotten myself into??!!! Will I survive the 3-hour challenge during the finals? Stay tuned....

The challenge for this week is the toughest so far. There's so many restrictions I thought of giving up. But I thought I've already gone this far so why give up? Half way through finishing the LO though I lost my mojo. Oh! oh! By Wednesday, I tried to finished it though I'm a bit disappointed coz I felt I didn't achieved the design I want.

For this challenge we need to create an assymetrical balanced layout and use at least 1 supersize photo, at least 48 sq. in. I love large photos! Here's my take.

This is kinda late but I just wanna post the layout I made for this week. It's a bit different from my usual layouts. Click here.

Direction and Movement...Is there such a thing in scrapbooking? I felt dumbfounded when I read the challenge for this week. I had no idea that you can place the elements of your layout in a way that you provide a sequence for the eye to follow. When I create my layouts I just place the photos and the embellishments in any way I like. LOL!

In the end, I settled for the 'Z movement' which I felt was the easiest to make. Click here to see my take.

This week's challenges was a bit difficult for me as I had to get out of my comfort zone. The challenge itself has so many restrictions it took me days in order to complete one. But then I was not happy with the layout so I had to make another one. Finished my entry at half past midnight on Aug 27th, just a couple of hours before the deadline. Click here for my entry. =)

The minute I got the details of Week 1 challenge my reaction was "Oh
no! Do I have time to do this?". I have a lot of work on my plate this the past week.

And then miracle! I have free time! Yay! I only was able to finish this task 5
hours before the deadline. haha Here's my take though I wished I've done a lot better if I had more time. :)

After much giving this a lot of thought, I decided to join. Here's my take.
