My name is LG Belarmino and I am very happy to have been given this opportunity to be a Guest Designer for MME this month! Designing for MME has been one of my biggest dreams... And i just came true!
On this note, I would like to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Lady Grace Belarmino but everyone simply refers to me as "LG". I live in Manila, Philippines and have been married to Regie for 3 years. I am blessed to have a family who is very supportive of my craft to the point that they too, dabble with scrapbooking. We currently have one gorgeous 2 year old daughter Hannah, who serves as my model for most of my pages. I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts and I Majored in Advertising Design.I currently work from home as a full-time Training Manager.
I started scrapbooking on December 2008, just a few months after my daughter was born. I was searching for the right hobby that incorporates my family and my passion for arts. It took me a few months of researching and reading about this hobby before I decided to give it a try. My first works were definitely a far cry from my current ones. It was the challenge of making a better layout that kept me going on. There was no looking back since then. I was hooked and I don't intend to stop. I have already created more than 400 layouts to date and it will continue to grow.
I started this hobby to preserve memories in an artistic way. It was not for fame or recognition, but simply for the joy and fulfillment that the craft brings. Being accepted in design teams, winning prizes, and being published are only additional perks. What I am really passionate about is telling MY FAMILY'S STORY in the best way I know how, and that is through scrapbooking.
It was early this year when I had the chance to own my first MME papers (I have only been scrapping for a year then). It was My Scrapbook Nook kit club that introduced me to MME. It was love at first sight. I adored the "Quite Contrary - Baby Boy Blue" line. Its still my all-time favorite. Everything from papers to embellishments, were perfect. I knew immediately that this is a brand I cannot do without. Since then, I have owned almost all of MME's collection making it my biggest paper collection to date.
Here are a few of my past, and present favorite layouts:
