DIY Chalkboard Labels

I made a new discovery at the National Bookstore Warehouse House earlier this year... self-adhesive blackboard! Sorry if I've been living under the rock but I didn't know such thing existed. Haha! Well, it's not really blackboard but it's a black sheet with a rough plastic-y surface. Here's a closer look at the sticker...

I bought it for only P25 for a pack of 6 8.25x11.75 sheets. (Original price was P55.) Also, it might interest you that they also have self-adhesive whiteboard.

First thing I did with the sticker was to make chalkboard labels. I thought of using chalk pencil but realized that it smears and gets erased over time, so, I used a white colored pencil instead. Here's what I came up with...

What do you think? Close enough to the real thing, right? Next time I'll try using pastel pencil for more vibrance and I'll play with other colors, too.

In case you're wondering, those are dvds of raw files of some of my favorite series and videos of my favorite groups. :P

The List Project: Ice Cream and Toys

Here are my lists for day 2 and day 3.

Day 2: Ice Cream Flavors That I Love. I love ice cream! I've tried a lot of flavors and loved almost all of them. But my favorite flavors are the uncomplicated ones on my list. Click the images to view full size.

The word sarang is a Korean word which means love and the title was inspired by the Korean song Lovin' Ice Cream. Go search it in YouTube, it's a really cute song with very nice lyrics, too.

Day 3:  Favorite Toys When I Was A Kid. Instead of a word list, I made a short list with images. Short because there were still a lot more but I just included some of the toys. The most fun part the Barbie dolls... they really brought back a lot of memories. The ones I included were the ones I remember playing with. Some were originally mine and some were hand-me downs from my sister and cousin.

How about you? What flavors of ice cream do you love and what are your favorite toys?

The List Project: Names People Call Me

I joined this prompt called The List Project... it's supposed to be a daily prompt for the whole month of October but I obviously couldn't follow the schedule. Haha. It's already the third of the month and I'm only on the first prompt.

I've decided to make this an All About Me project. I will scrap a page for each prompt then compile them in an album later on. I'm really excited about this because it's been a while since I last scrapped. It's about time I make use of the kits I've been hoarding. (Yes, present tense... meaning I'm still doing the hoarding even though I'm not scrapping anymore. Haha!) And I promise to finish this project even if it takes me until the end of the year to do so. (Hopefully not that long. :P)

This new pocket scrapping trend gave me an idea. I've seen people do scrap pages in the 3x4 size. Instead of that, I'm doing it in the standard 4x6 photo size. This way, it'll be easier for me to compile them into an album because it's a standard photo print size. Here's my first list: Names People Call Me

and a second page... (*The Ting Tings' That's Not My Name playing in my head)

I'm thinking of documenting this whole name thing whenever I go to coffee shops, just for the fun of it. Haha! Here's the list, by the way...

If you want to do the prompts, you can join the Facebook group here. The idea is to make your list and share a photo of it on the FB group or Instagram (with the hashtag ‪#‎thelistproject2014). Me, I'll blog about it and share it on my Facebook page.
