About Me:

Kathleen Margaret Charity B. Hernandez

Full Name

I know I have a long name but you can simply call me Kath.  I am so excited to be part of the team as MSW's Layout Designer.  

I’m single & I live in Manila, Philippines. I'm a Certified Public Accountant and had graduated with a BS in Accountancy degree from a good university.

I had no time for crafting in my younger years for I was intent on finishing my studies and finding work. Now, I stay at home with my loved ones taking care of their needs and having time for my previously shelved crafting hobbies.  I got started into the craft last Sept. 14, 2010 and have been enjoying the craft since then.  

My scrappy friends characterize my style as FUN & BRIGHT (just not sure if bordering to whimsical) for I love pastels and bright colors. In my point of view, my style is CLEAN & SIMPLE. But at times going for simple minimalist layouts. And most of the time, it's just anything goes. I like planning my layouts and winging it out with blings and embellishments.

 

It's my 1st reveal together at My Sketch World.  And we had an inspiring sketch by Lucy Chesna to work with for the bloghop. 

Here is the April 1st sketch from My Sketch World:

My work / LO Sample:

I dabbled on Echo Park's Victoria Garden's Collection kit.  It takes time for collection kits to reach our LSS here in my country.  Thus, I got to play with this awesome collection just now.  And I have been churning a number of LOs with these.  

I have made up my mind to indulge in mixed media with these materials as you can see with my layout above.  It was a relaxing effort to exert.  I just love the over-all garden feel and at the same time Victorian or for me romantic look of the LO.  

I made sure all the sticker embellishments were popped up for dimension and unnoticeable areas backed up by a darker color for contrast.  Certain areas were texturized also.  A splash of bright colored embellishments such as the polymer clay mini flowers were added & slightly subdued shocking red fabric butterfly was all a flutter about my page.

I hope you all like it, as I was surprised by the result.  I guess I'm always dubious of the output when it entails mixed media. LOL

Thanks for being here and now its time to head to Toni Archer's blog and check out her creation. 

Thanks & Very Truly Yours,
