I just joined Acobay

Acobay is the newest social networking site in the internet. What is it? I was about to equate it with Facebook but it is a totally unique concept.

In Acobay, you get to "share" your stuff (like your cellphone, car, camera) and get connected with others with the same items as you. You can also get feedback and recommendation on items in your 'wishlist' from other members.

Signing up is free, easy and safe. They don't even ask for your email address. After signing-up, you can immediately start adding stuff.

I am still in the process of adding more of my stuff into Acobay. I believe it is going to be the hottest networking site for 2009. Check it out and tell me if you agree or not.

Tumbler Insert Freebie

Last month, while Christmas shopping at one of the stores here, I came across these tumblers wherein you could insert any design you want between the cup and an outer plastic. I have been reading a lot about the Starbucks tumbler and I was ecstatic that I found something similar.

I bought the entire stock! Sadly there where only around 20 left. I'm sure the salesman was beginning to get irritated because I kept asking him to double check the stockroom "just in case". :)

Anyway, after I got home, I immediately made a layout and fitted it to the tumbler. I had to do a lot of adjusting and printing before I got it to fit.

It turned out great, if I say so myself. The tumblers are gifts for my husband's colleagues. On the layout, I put a 2009 calendar on it and personalized it with their names. Take a look at the finished products.

 

Credits for the wonderful layout goes to a kit called Mr. Golden Sun by Aimee Designs.

With Aimee's permission, I am giving the quickpage I made for free. There are two pages in the file. One has space at the bottom for a name or a message or photos. The other one is just the calendar that you can print straight away.

In my experience, the tumblers I bought were not exactly the same sizes so I had to cut off a bit on the (right) side of the page. The top part of the page has to be trimmed, too.

I hope you like it. Leave me a note if you do. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to my family, friends and fellow digital scrapbook addicts!

One of my resolutions for this year is to create more scrapbook layouts and design more kits and templates than last year. I have been really frustrated that I haven't been able to scrap as much as I wanted. But my children, esp baby Liam, were top priority then. They are STILL top on my list this year, of course, but hopefully I will have more free time to digiscrap. It is FOR and ABOUT them anyway, right?

I am crossing my fingers that this is one of my resolutions that I could keep.

So, see you around!

It's Christmas!

It is already the 24th of December. I can't believe time has flown by so fast. This will be Baby Liam's first Christmas. I hope to take lots of pictures for his scrapbook (which I haven't even started to make yet. Huhuhu.)

We will be going to our parents' house tonight to celebrate. First stop will be my husband's parents house for Noche Buena (Christmas Eve dinner) number one. Then at my parents for part two. I sort-of skipped lunch today because I KNOW I will be eating a lot tonight. Hehehe.

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Promising New Year.
