Bjay Jaminal - The Daily Grind




As soon as I read this week's challenge - I cringed. I guess you'll understand exactly why that was my initial reaction. Anyways, the pictures were taken last Monday afternoon in different parts of the office, except for my bus ride which took place in Cavite (L-R: bus, office wall clock, taho, AIG hallway, my coffee, my keyboard, a pile of papers, and me inside the ladies restroom). The word coasters should explain in a nutshell the sentiment of my daily work-life cycle.

Good thing that one of the major criteria involved "overall design & craftsmanship", and no journaling requirement at all. Hooray! So I began by "hand swooshing" some yellow splats on my layout. Then I positioned my 8 pictures and glued it. I then traced a faint line to serve as my frame before punching holes using my trusty Making Memories tools. It's really butas, like a perforated ticket. Finally I positioned my title vertically to maintain a bigger white space on the layout. Man, this was haaaard.

Galing mo talaga Bjay, considering 8 1/2 x 11 ang LO mo eh napagkasya mo pa rin ang mga photos mo. I love how you positioned the pics. - Gracie

So agree how hard this one was, Bjay! And yet, this LO is sooo striking, it's almost like an advertisement of your life! Wooohooh! Iba ka talaga, mare!
