Our Angel
Babies by Gracie Ann D. Tan |
|
I've always considered myself as a frugal scrapper. I always keep even small bits of left over scraps like patterned papers, ribbons and even the packaging of some materials. You'll never know what you can create with all those left overs. Well I had a lot of left over patterned papers on hand so I decided to make them useful by using them on this simple layout. It's a layout I made about my dear daughter who I consider my angel even though at times she can really be a handful. Journal reads:" You're truly heaven sent. God's greatest gift to us! You'll always be my little angel."

I am Gracie Ann D. Tan from the Philippines, married to a loving husband, Mark and a mother to a very cute daughter named Marcie. I am a lover of arts & crafts and have been for almost 10 years now. I started scrapbooking in 1999 but stopped along the way. I then fell in love with other crafts like card making, cross-stitching, paper crafts and creating new things from recycled materials. I found my way back to scrapbooking again last July 2008 when I attended my first Scrap Jam here in the Philippines and I've been hooked to the art again since then. My style with my creations vary depending on my mood or inspiration. I always see to it that every work of art I make is created with love. Know more about me at my blog:
