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