A toot and a new layout

I pulled out a layout I previously posted (check the edit on previous post) about our tree planting adventures at the Angat Dam Watershed but I made a new one! 

Here it is:

Change Your World

Here's my hubby, ds and dd in action during the Angat Dam Watershed tree planting event. TFL!

Journaling:

You Can Change Your World
... a 'Dad', a 'Mama', a 'Kairos', an 'Eireanne' at a time.
"A man cannot govern a nation if he cannot govern a city; he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family; he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself; and he cannot govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason". - Hugo Grotius

DISCOVERY

Discovery

My ds at the Angat Dam Watershed Tree planting event sponsored by Green Army, Task Force Climate Change, DOE, WWF and other NGOs.  Poem reads: Breath by J. Daniel Beaudry Tree, gather up my thoughts like the clouds in your branches. Draw up my soul like the waters in your root. In the arteries of your trunk bring me together. Through your leaves breathe out the sky. credits: Taylor-made Composure template; Catrine of Catscrap - explore solids wind paper; JBolton - trixipix7 overlay; JLarsen - apricot leaf; poem - Breath by J.

THE POWER OF ONE

The Power of One

This was during a tree planting event at the Angat Dam Watershed where we targeted to plant 10,000 seedlings. We brought our kids along to make them aware of the effects of global warming. Here's dd with her first potted seedling.

Bookoto's "Get Digi with Us" Shutterfly Prize

Yey! I can finally post it. :) This was my entry to Bookoto.com's  "Get Digi with Us" contest. Thank you so much to Julie, Sheryl and Ms. Renee Pearson for choosing my LO. I am grateful and humbled by it because ALL the layouts were truly amazing as well.  You can view all the awesome entries of these Pinay Scrappers at the Bookoto Gallery to see for yourself.  Congrats also to Kaje for winning the raffle!

here's an excerpt from their site:

The bookoto team and our special guest host, Renee Pearson have chosen the winning LO. 

Renee announces:
"I have looked at the contest entries. They’re all so terrific it was hard to make a choice! :D But we have chosen: Truly Amazed by Marites Tirol! Hugs, Renee"

here's my writeup and the designer credits:

"I love this photo of my little girl because I never want her to lose that sense of awe and wonder even when she grows older. I hope that she will always be amazed at everything she experiences and that she will not take even the everyday ordinary things for granted. "

"I drew my inspiration from the paper layouts of the Scrapbook Exchange ladies and tried to duplicate the "cutting with an X-acto knife" technique by extracting the design from the Tinkering Ink Victoria paper and then I layered it on top of the bg paper and the photo and applied shadows. I then applied glitter styles to the edges to simulate applying glitter IRL to the cutout."

Techniques : Extraction, Layers, Drop Shadows, Blending, Glitter Styles, Texturizer
Software: PSCS3
Materials Used: Tinkering Ink Digital - Covent Garden Collection: Victoria paper, Alphabets,
Michelle Coleman - Edge Overlay
