it was a rare moment and i am so happy that i got to capture that which depicted how daddy is - his love for horses, for nature and life, his intelligence and strong command, and yes - his kind heart, love for family and love for others. the photo says so much, of how he and julio are holding hands and how julio is looking at the subject of daddy's dialogue...<br /><br />i chose the title ' dos augustos' not only because they are both augusto but because of the joy i see in daddy to be amidst his youngest grandson at 82. not to mention, julio is only the second male grandchild among 14 grandchildren.cheska herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15310380225504196712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912712933408965020.post-72251104662488402922009-09-06T20:33:00.002+08:002009-09-06T20:46:27.889+08:00Happy???<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcFvyWC4L8n5IIagBTIdPz4ISgIzSi0T2zWLf43i4DiqNFkCl4X6205S_4bS_twNj05KIushJq0W4N_63sU0u9VrQaMWuvmzH1Zz87BU7wGxHX1hvI2QZ9MqMaqK8AeRf7lBtyg-K1k87T/s1600-h/happy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcFvyWC4L8n5IIagBTIdPz4ISgIzSi0T2zWLf43i4DiqNFkCl4X6205S_4bS_twNj05KIushJq0W4N_63sU0u9VrQaMWuvmzH1Zz87BU7wGxHX1hvI2QZ9MqMaqK8AeRf7lBtyg-K1k87T/s320/happy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378334502750549234" border="0" /></a><br />i've been scraping about family, events and memories the past few months and it felt very rewarding to see that i am able to creatively document such. but it was only yesterday, through this layout that i am slowly, truly able to appreciate the miracle of scrapbooking as a creative outlet. i feel that right now, my life is in a pickle. i have so much ahead of me and yet i'm restrained to 'do all that can be' to be able to dedicate my self, my life to achieving a different height.<br /><br />journaling:<br /><br />i only wanted to live good, live well, live right. ironically, that has lead me to forget myself and live for others. can i be happy?<br /><br />9/5/09cheska herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15310380225504196712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912712933408965020.post-58266237357834814882009-09-05T11:36:00.003+08:002009-09-05T11:54:11.007+08:00Scrapfest 7 woohoo!!August 29, 2009 - i got to attend the scrapfest 7 at the makati parks and gardens. it was my first ever!

But it took a bit of time having to dry the stickles on the borders and thickers and applying glossy and crackle accents after and waiting for these to dry again. Coloring the border flowers on the scalloped, round shaped patterned paper to change it to a shade of maroon from its original yellow green required even more time.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRSsRu9r7I4Iwsa0Lxn1nsb3SIR25LiobPDXoFng-gD88jdgnk8EzaWqUG9k5RUsUb7yArEQ5dPlbxMjKvRL4hqDvNiiUwlBCDW-dXTWB19RvLcyZAXfIHyl2cHpEwfdCc-v1FKg2Jkw_b/s1600-h/DSC_0285.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 317px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRSsRu9r7I4Iwsa0Lxn1nsb3SIR25LiobPDXoFng-gD88jdgnk8EzaWqUG9k5RUsUb7yArEQ5dPlbxMjKvRL4hqDvNiiUwlBCDW-dXTWB19RvLcyZAXfIHyl2cHpEwfdCc-v1FKg2Jkw_b/s320/DSC_0285.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371704629072532978" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Us with our MOM in our younger years..<br /><br />Materials:<br /><br />Patterned paper - webster pages, DCWV cardstock, AC thickers, stickles in cotton condy, glossy accent, fancy pants rub onscheska herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15310380225504196712noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912712933408965020.post-47721358136868735992009-08-19T23:42:00.004+08:002009-08-20T00:19:45.552+08:00For the Best Dad!Eversince my parents' separation, my grandfather took the role of being dad to all of us. here's for him, the best dad in the world!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQm-l437J3l6oAzXLah_rtdz3XLUNnqCCcwI1RQigfRvCq1Q7_HG9-6mgmK0a9q81Xm47rSHHQTqKRsu6adOc2jMDVCipnkJKEOQgPsHkKFijlQtlTjCNYsJ-oYb6negbJXXJ-TmXeMBOi/s1600-h/DSC_0280.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQm-l437J3l6oAzXLah_rtdz3XLUNnqCCcwI1RQigfRvCq1Q7_HG9-6mgmK0a9q81Xm47rSHHQTqKRsu6adOc2jMDVCipnkJKEOQgPsHkKFijlQtlTjCNYsJ-oYb6negbJXXJ-TmXeMBOi/s320/DSC_0280.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371701661888865042" border="0" /></a><br />journaling:<br /><br />The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but as in whispering galleries- they are clearly heard at the end and by posterity - Jean Paul Richtercheska herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15310380225504196712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912712933408965020.post-69665447356067335622009-08-19T23:17:00.004+08:002009-08-19T23:42:23.220+08:00Scrap That! : August Weekly Challenge - 2<div style="text-align: justify;">My take on LG Belarmino's sketch below for Scrap that's 2nd week challenge for august.

am i even a princess? i asked my sister and my mom which disney princess i should project to be me in my layout and as they dropped names and reasons, i realized they were just focusing on the technicality of it all - who i should chOose to be able to project a funny, witty, cute layout. that didn't make sense to me because this layout should stand so much more than that! so i gave it days.<br /><br />while seeing lee's status in facebook that asked the same question that has been stressing me for days, i realized that i can be each one!! i suddenly was able to put sense into my asking myself if i even felt like a princess! i believe that one cannot be a princess if there's no prince that makes her feel like one. all of the disney princesses that i idolized eversince i was young only became so because a prince came as a happy ending. as of now i can only be and feel like a princess up to certain extent. i can never be like the disney princesses - YET! but soon.. when i realize my happy ending with my prince will i be able to identify which story / which princess is fitting to be mine / me. or maybe i'll be my own different princess.. UNTIL then i'll just say, 'SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME - I BELIEVE!'<br /><br />Process:<br /><br />so for this challenge:<br /><br />- i downloaded and printed in cardstock an image of the disney princesses in a castle as the focus of my layout<br />- i then cut small photos of my face and stuck it on top of each of the faces of the disney princesses in the image to stand as me in different persons<br />- applied different embellishments to attain the magical feel that i wanted to appear in my layout<br /><br />techniques used<br /><br />- i altered the plain cardstock by painting it with mm glimmer paint in pink, green and blue as grass, background color and sky ( first first-time used technique)<br />- i sprayed tattered angels and maya road spray ink / glimmer mist in gold and red against white corrugated board as background of the castle and my solo photo emphasized at the bottom of the layout (second first-time technique)<br />- i heat embossed leaves and flowers at the base of the castle and in the area where my solo photo is positioned ( 3rd first-time technique)<br /><br />materials used:<br /><br />DCWV cardstock in pinkish lavender, mm glimmer paint in blue, pink, green, tattered angels glimmer mist in gold, maya road mist in red, white corrugated board, prima flowers, flowers, AAS and MM brads, colorbox ink, embossing powder, AC thickers, generic rhinestone, fancy pants rub ons, K & Co chipboard words, kaiser rhinestones, say it in crystals, all about scrapbooking ribbon<br /><br /></div><br /></div>cheska herrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15310380225504196712noreply@blogger.com2
