Big News – I’m on the Polkadoodles Design Team!

I’m so excited to be joining the Polkadoodles Design Team! This is such a fun new chapter in my crafty journey, and what makes it truly special is that I get to share it with some incredibly talented and dear friends (announcement coming soon!!!).

I’ve been wanting to practice my coloring more, and this is the perfect chance—plus, my Ohuhu and Copic markers are finally getting the spotlight they deserve!

Make sure to check out the Polkadoodles website, follow them on Facebook and Instagram, and join their Facebook community to get inspired and stay up to date!

Also, I'm happy to share my first Polkadoodles projects—introducing the fabulous Wanda!

First up is a Panel Fun Fold Card featuring Shopping Wanda—she’s all dressed up in pink and yellow (my favorite colors!) and the star of the card layered with floral printable patterned papers with pink belly band, ready for a day of retail therapy! Inside, there’s a sweet little sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Fairy collection: “let’s hang out”—perfect for my amazing girlfriends who love shopping (or window shopping!) as much as I do.

Wanda is colored with Copic markers: 100, G14, RV00, RV02, W4, E11, YR65, Y19, and W15.

Next is a Fan Fold Effect Card starring Soda Pop Drink Shake Wanda! I used the cute Floral Wanda printable patterned papers for this card. The front features a sweet and simple “Hello” sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Quotes collection—perfect for sending bubbly cheer to someone special.

Wanda’s colored with Copic markers: E11, YR68, YR00, Y08, C4, R43, and C7—all ready to sip, smile, and spread sunshine!

And hey—if you love creating with digis too, don’t forget to join the fun over at Polkadoodles’ Digi Choosday challenges! You can find all the weekly inspiration and enter your own creations on the Digi Choosday blog.

Can’t wait to share more Polkadoodles fun with you all!

10 Years Married: From 8AM Vows to Riyadh City Lights

I t feels like just yesterday when we said I do at 8AM — and I still remember thinking, Why didn’t we make it 9 instead? Haha. But here we are, a decade into marriage, 14 years together, and living this unexpected chapter of our lives in Saudi Arabia. Watch our SDE here !💙 Currently, we’re based in Al Ahsa , one of the oldest provinces in Saudi. For those unfamiliar, think of it as the probinsya version of Saudi — calm, rich in heritage, and definitely far from the city buzz. So for our 10th anniversary, we decided to shake (yesss - shake! lol) things up a bit and drive to Riyadh , the capital. Imagine two probinsyanas from some quiet part of the Philippines heading to Manila — that was the vibe. The Road to Riyadh My favorite road sign! haha! We left Al Ahsa around 10AM and arrived in Riyadh a little past 1PM. (Yes, that’s 3+ hours on the road!) With check-in at the Four Seasons Hotel only starting at 4PM — 4PM, c...

All the Cricut MEA Prizes I’ve Won (So Far!)

I still remember the first time I joined Cricut MEA’s Ramadan Challenges back in March 2024. I was so excited to take part daily — crafting along with the community for almost 25 days straight — until I was told that Saudi Arabia couldn’t join. 😢 Fast forward to December 2024, and everything changed! Cricut MEA officially opened up the challenges to Saudi residents — and I didn’t waste a second. I jumped right into their Christmas Countdown Challenges, and from then on, I’ve joined every single challenge they’ve hosted. December 2024 January 2025 February 2025 March 2025 And now… LOOK AT THIS LOOT! 😍 Watch my unboxing reel here. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Cricut and Monster Middle East for organizing such fun and inspiring events. My crafty heart is full, and my shelves… well, they might be full too. 😅 And of course, none of this would be possible without my husband, who has been 100% supportive of all my crafty adventures from day one. ❤️️ Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing more of w...

Happy Cutie-versary, Kelly Bangs!

Can you believe it’s been five whole years of Cutie craftiness?! Kelly Bangs is celebrating her 5th Cutie-versary, and as the Design Squad is joining in on the fun! To mark the occasion, I made a mini album using a mix of some of my favorite Cutie-versary elements — like the adorable Cutie Pie trophies, Florals Greatest Hits (for florals are forever a fave!), The Shape Parade (tags and squares), Mini Guest Checks, and those sweet Scout Friends. It’s a cheerful little project that made me smile from start to finish… even with a tiny hiccup. Here’s the funny part: I finished decorating all the inside pages first — each one carefully layered with a piece from The Shape Parade (square) then I went ahead and glued the cover on upside down. 😅 So now all the pages (especially the ones with the letters and number print) are technically flipped. But honestly? That’s one of the things I love most about crafting — the little mistakes that turn into happ...
