Seasons of Love . . . and the Tiger . . . and lotsa paper :-)

Posted on February 24th, 2010

To have Valentine’s  and the Chinese New Year fall on the same day calls for a double celebration! We hope you took note of all the special moments that happened around you and that you find your SA kit as an accessory to that inspiration.

In case you missed it, check out our dear DT, Nita’s projects for the last quarter of 2009 HERE and her latest installment for the January 2010 Kit HERE. If you haven’t had a chance to get your hands on SA’s first kit of the year, you can still check them out below . . .

January 2010: Flight through Wonderland

SA finally has its first GDT for 2010, personally I have long admired her work, you can always bet on tactile goodness when paper touches her hands.

Studio Azul’s GDT for February 2010

Nina Patena

Nina and her beautiful family

Nina and her beautiful family

Nina Ballesteros-Pateña is 31, a stay-at-home mom, homeschooler and writer-turned-artist. She finds it hard to believe that she’s been scrapping since 2006, ever since she walked into the Simplejoys store in SM Southmall and fell in love with recycled paper albums, faux leaves and beads. Her loves are scrapbooking, stamping and altered art. Among her sources of inspiration are the window display of local store Gingersnaps, music videos and surfing online. The 3 tools she can’t live without are pens, stamps and her solid wooden 8.5″ x 11″ guillotine trimmer.

On the February 2010 Kit, she says, “I wanted to show how versatile the kit was. So I wanted to do three styles of layouts: classic, cute, and artsy. I made a mini since we recently went on my husband AR’s company outing to Baguio. Plus there’s a lot of beautiful colors in the kit which I think pretty much captures how fun the trip was. I also didn’t know what to do with the scallop cardstock I used as a mask in one of my layouts so I decided it’d make a fun accordion just in time for Valentine’s Day.”

On being SA’s Feb 2010 GDT: “Tin, I really think you’re doing an amazing job with Studio Azul. I wish you all the best as you continue to bring us the kind of innovative and fresh goodness you always come up with in every month’s kit. It has truly be an honor. Thank you.”

We’re all mad here . . .

Posted on January 17th, 2010

Disney-classic-disney-6553953-863-1251“We’re all mad here”, says the Cat . . . maybe that’s why i haven’t uploaded the kit on the 15th like I said lol sorry about that, my bad.

As a child i have always been fascinated with Alice in Wonderland and the wonderful characters she met during her adventures. And now as an adult, the magic of this classic story has not lost its flavor; so i dedicate this to the child in all of us and how the truisms of Alice and he friends carries on its philiosphies in the world of grown-ups.

Flight through Wonderland

And if you’re still in the holiday mood, check out SA’s December 2009 Kit:

Hey, Santa Baby

Have a grand, grand week ahead!

Scrap Happy,

Limited Edition Kit: HEART AND HOME

Posted on October 19th, 2009

What better way can we help our fellow country men by combining our love for scrapping and to aid the Philippine Red Cross at the same time. STUDIO AZUL is presenting a LIMITED EDITION KIT, aptly named, HEART & HOME. This kit was formulated for a workshop, but the Blue Ladies and I have come to the conclusion this is the best way we can do our part in the rebuilding of the lives of others in whatever way we can. . . and you can too! All proceeds of the workshop will be donated to the Red Cross.

Finding the right timing . . .

Posted on October 16th, 2009

To our SA customers,

After the recent calamites our country has encountered, I didn’t find it proper to send you billing statements and to promote the kits during this time. I apologize for the delays I was just finding the right time for things to get back to “normal.” Then again, I guess things won’t get back to the way it was, we are more aware of our surroundings now and more appreciative of our loved ones.

In this light, Studio Azul is coming up with a limited edition kit where ALL PROCEEDS will go to the Red Cross so in our own little way we can help those who have been victims of the recent storms. Please do watch out for our post this Monday, October 19, 2009.

Also, as with our limited edition kits I will also be posting our October Kit 2009. Shipments were delayed but they have finally arrived. For ALL SCRAP BUFFET PARTICIPANTS, the event stamp is HERE! Yes, after a thousand years lol I’ll be emailing all past participants to confirm your home address as well as resume the monthly emails for our SA members.

Again, I sincerely apologize for the delays and any inconvenience this may have caused. Do take care everyone and keep safe.

sincerely,

Tin

Studio Azul is proud to be PINOY . . .

Posted on September 30th, 2009

FilRibbon1Last Saturday, September 26, 2009 the Philippines could not have prepared for a simple downpour turned torrential rain flood.

No one was spared from storm Ondoy’s wrath (international code name Ketsana), even in our humble home water reached knee deep; other houses in our area have water levels reaching their second floor homes. Yet, we still count our blessings, others have not just lost their homes but lives of loved ones as well.

Ondoy_01a

For more information how you can help, I found this video on my Facebook wall, thanks Gab for posting this . . .

Click the banner below how you can help.

as well as those who live in the Makati Area, Assumption is accepting donations for relief goods. The following poster was a Facebook re-post from my friend Cindy:

To donate to Philippine National Red Cross text:

For our our kababayans based overseas or if you just want to send your love across the ocean, Red Cross is accepting donations via Paypal.

Please send them to give@redcross.org.ph.

The Ateneo de Manila University has also put up a website to help you locate missing loved ones, please click the banner below:

Ateneo Task Force Ondoy

Filipinos have always upheld what we call the Bayanihan spirit, or rather a communal unity and effort.  Since Saturday, an outpour of help came from all sectors of the country and relief operations came in many forms, private citizens distributing goods, students helping out organize relief goods and commercial establishments and businesses offering their services for free to help our countrymen.

Please don’t tire of helping our brothers and sisters; let’s do what we can for those in need, because in our own time of trouble. I’m sure we would like the same helping hand extended to us.

Kaya natin ito, Mabuhay ang Pilipino!

A Big Hug your way . . .

Posted on July 18th, 2009
I have been MIA since our Scrap Buffet last July 11th, i’ve been so overwhelmed with the success of the buffet i had to take time off and savor it all :-) Before anything, a big hugs and thanks to Lee Imao who brought up the concept of the Scrap Buffet. As much as I would like to take credit for it, this wonderful lady had this idea lulling in her mind. . . it was just a matter of executing it. To which, i owe another hug a really LARGE group hug to the PS Mods, Candy Lagazon, Nita Ang, Au Lim, Cabbie Lopes and Lee as well who is also a mod of PS; our SA DT’s Christine Villacarlos, Nita Ang and Au Lim (yup dual role ang mga beauty hehe); my former partner Mia, especially to her generous cardstock donations and ofcourse, our raffles and buffet would not have been complete with Mitch Sy of Visual Creations.
A bit of honorable menton goes out to my super assistant Lhenlhen, along with Susan and Niknik who painstakingly packed each button, remove each die cut and made sure all the buffet materials were in it proper order. Same goes to our buffet attendees who were assisting our participants with the paper, embellishments, even our chair massage!

But most of all, the Scrap Buffet would not have been a success to all our participants! A big, big thank you for YOU!

Just to give you an idea, this concept has been under discussion since May i believe? We would meet either at my place in Makati or like our last meeting before D-Day was in Starbucks, Banawe. The energy of all the brainstorming was truly inspiring! Especially when we had the mock buffet, which was our gauge how we would do the whole flow.
Au and the love of her life . . . her camera :-)

Au and the love of her life . . . her camera :-)

Hanging out at Starbucks Banawe, we were there from 10am to almst 4pm!

Hanging out at Starbucks Banawe, we were there from 10am to almst 4pm!

Yes, since I announced the event I have been a nervous wreck and bottomless pit but with these ladies behind me the big day went smoothly. And to see all those layouts and cards being churned table after table! What a totally productive day!
Do watch out for the ScrapBuffet photos, which I shall upload soon as I have put them together.
Rest assured Studio Azul is brewing something again, something different, and totally fun. And this time, i think i’ll take Lee’s advice and get a roving masahista LOL

Take a peek at the layouts made by the PS Mods and SA DT’s from our mock buffet,

they might seem familiar since I also used them to make the sketches for your handouts HERE. Enjoy!

Studio Azul would like to thank our June GDT, until this moment she is brewing something which i’m planning to feature during the SA’s event. She used the JUNE KIT and I still can not fathom how in the world she thought of something like it! In DT Au’s words, ang utak niya ay 3D :-)

She is known for her vintage albeit romantic projects; she has also been featured in  Somerset Memories, a GDT for Gauche Alchemy, and is a DT  for Artz de Scrap.

Posted on May 30th, 2009

Hi everyone! Just an update on the payment information, i have added this side note. Hope you all understand.

Thanks lots,

Tin

It would be great if you opt to pay for all 3 kits for the duration of your sub :-) but i understand some members are on a budget. So i work on the trust system, as long as i know you will commit to the 3 months it’s no problem if you pay monthly as well. However, if you miss a month without prior notice (i.e. on vacation, etc.) unfortunately, I have to cancel your membership. I hope you all understand, I had some prior experience so i would like to avoid the same problems. Thanks so much for your understanding.”

Posted on May 12th, 2009

Hi everyone! We finally settled after a weeks vacation and I finally got some time to update the site. You are all going to absolutely Love, Love, Love all the projects made by our DT’s Nita and CV and a very special GDT who has been a member of Studio Azul for a while now.

Our GDT for April is

Diane Vibar-Miraballes

dsc_7963

Diane has been been a long-time member of Studio Azul and we have always loved her fun and colorful style. Other than a traditional scrapper, this lady is also very proficient as a hybrid/digital scrapper as well. Check out our DT Creations link to view the wonderful layouts Diane has made with our April Kit, Good Golly Gumdrops!

Have you seen those fashion articles, where 5 stylists work with the same dresses and accessories? It’s alot like Scrapbook Kits, give three very talented ladies a fun kit and they just WOW you! Sipsip aside (hehe) but one of the joys I get from opening my email is seeing what magic they’ve weaved with our monthly goodies. I hope you find them just as inspiring as i did.

Enough chit-chat . . . CHECK IT OUT at our DT CREATIONS section. Have fun!

Scrap Happy,

Tin

Before anything, thanks so much to everyone who sent in their comments how much they like our new home. I’m sure Gis is also very happy with all your feedback. I highly recommend her, she did lovely, lovely work. I keep on telling her, I hope I don’t mess it up! LOL Just like CV’s elegant work, it would be nice to keep the site clean and free flowing. I can’t say the same about my shoe closet, but that’s another story LOL
