Week #2 - Pick of The Week

Sorry for the delay on the announcement of this week's Pick of the Week. We're sure the wait is worth it coz our guest judge have chosen her favorite....

Week #2 Pick of the Week is

ALBY LARAN

This is what Cabbie said about her choice:

I have always loved nature and Alby captured the essence of doing it particularly with this round's theme COLOR THEORY AND HARMONY.

I love the way she combined the color requirements and did it beautifully too! The overlapped stems added to the ambiance while the butterfly accent created a natural feel on the overall layout. What made me decide ( I had a hard time because all layouts are stunning!) with Alby's layout is the balanced blending of color combination.

Yeah, the colors are quite a challenge to scrap because even i would not even think of combining these colors if not for some challenges, right?

And so I salute each and everyone who tried their mojos on these hues. Not only did Alby unite them all with simplicity but she definitely sprinkled the layout with vibrance, smoothly mixing the palette of colors to make it inspiring and thus in the end, in harmony with all.

Week #2 Celebrity Judge - Ms. Cabbie Jane Lopez

Our judge for the Week 2 POTW is no other than the 1st Scrappin' Moms Idol, Ms. Cabbie Jane Lopez!

I am Cabbie Lopez. a certified stay-at-home-mom to 4 boys ages 10, 6,5,4. My passion for scrapbooking began in 2006 and ever since, this hobby became an outlet for me. I love the shabby chic style although I can be versatile at times. I love to try out new techniques, alter anything under the sun and to explore other styles too! I am currently a design team member for 2 sites and have been part of various scrapbooking scenes the past months. I was also honored to be named the first Scrappin' Moms Idol last 2007 too. I am so happy scrapbooking opened another horizon in me, not only did my creativity evolved along the way but I also gained friends which are hard to find!!!
