New Beginnings . . .

Dear Studio Azul Members and Friends,

Since it's inception, Studio Azul was our baby, something brewing in the backs of our scrapbook-ridden minds.

Mia and I met through Scrapbukan's National Scrapbooking Day celebration, and from then on we have become partners and more so, good friends. Mia, as you all know is the information desk of every LSS in Manila LOL :-) and the creative brains behind Studio Azul. She has been eating and breathing scrapbooking, which is no surprise that her creative growth will go far beyond Studio Azul. Mia has alot of surprises up her sleeves in the next few months, and because of this new growth she can no longer be a partner of Studio Azul.

For our members, despite this slight change I promise you we will continue to bring you more and more yummy kits every month. Don't worry, she didn't leave us hanging :-) she has your kits planned and ready to go almost all until next year! How's THAT for a turn over hehe

Studio Azul will still use the same email address, the same procedures and requirements. So it's no hassle to you, our members.

Oh, and don't worry Mia's not going too far . . . that little shriek at the sight of a new product at the nearest LSS or hearing her happily chatting away with newbies (note, nang B.I. on the latest must-haves!). . . you'll know she's around alright :-)

But most of all, she will always be part of Studio Azul.

Please do wish her luck on her new endeavor and I know that whatever she puts her heart into will definitely bring us great inspiration.

Thank you to all the participants of our Scrap A Master Challenge! Check out the wonderful creations these talented ladies sent in:

Gracious that she always is, Pinay MM Master Iris Babao-Uy gladly took the time to look at all the entries herself and chose her favorites.

Like most of SA's challenges, we have divided the winners into 2 categories, one using SA Kits and the other using any material available. Sooooo, are you ready?

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!

WINNER OF THE
SA Master Challenge
(SA members): Using the SA March Kit

by MEANN POSADA

Iris Said:
I like how she used smaller swirls on the left side to follow the sketch. Her version of the journaling spot using an oval with a bird perched on top of it is so cute. I loved the variation.


WINNER OF THE
MARCH MASTER CHALLENGE
(non SA members):

by LEE IMAO

Iris Said:
I loved Lee's version of the layout on a masculine page. I noticed how she substituted the journaling spot with patterned paper with words. I also liked how she doodled on the swirl using dots instead of the outline used in the original layout. And the smaller photos below the main photo really supported the theme of her page.

Again, thank you to Iris for lending us her gorgeous LO, to the ladies who took the time to join our humble challenge and a big, big CONGRATS to Meann and Lee!

Meann and Lee, please email us how you would like to receive your prizes. We'll be posting the eye-candy prizes tomorrow!

Look at what the postman brought . . .

Okay, maybe not the postman . . . more like Yahoomail. Either way, we love what CV came up with for our April Kit. Her LO's bares scraplifting, don't you agree?
