Hey peeps... hope you had a great weekend.. We just had Zareef's 6th birthday party today and it was totally awesome!! I made the right choice to have it at ever realiable McDonalds cause I don't have to do anything, which is awesome! The kids had lots of fun and thank god I didn't have the party in my house as the kids will surely bring it down to pieces! :) My heart warmed to know that Zareef has lots of friends that adore him now.. Surely so much different than when we arrived here a year ago.. just 4 of us celebrating with a slice of cake and no friends yet.. Happy Birthday Zareef Boy!!
OK.. enough rambling :) Here's a layout I did today... This one is for Scrap-It-Lah June challenge, which is to scrap of things we can't do without.. So obviously I can't live without my family :) The journaling may be a bit cheesy as I am bad with words but I meant what I wrote.. :)))))
This layout is inspired by Creative Scrappers Sketch#160. Love how unique this sketch is.. I also joined Candy Shoppe Designs 2nd June challenge, which is to scrap summer pictures! This picture is from our Tasmania trip.. Such great moments.. love our holiday there.. I think we need more holiday!!!
A short entry this time. I am running short of patience with the kids today!
Anyway, this layout is for Candy Shoppe Designs April collage challenge. I am inspired by the spring theme, and bunnies!!! These Cosmo Crickets Togetherness PP are perfect, don't you think? Love this photo of Zareef... isn't that an awesome shot? I am really glad hubby is really into photography now, just for my scrapbooking! I used Pencil Lines Sketch #232 this time... love the banner! :)
Here is a layout fresh from the oven.. this layout is based on Sketchabilities Sketch #13. I love how their sketches motivate me to scrap multi photos layouts! This layout is also for Crack Me Up challenge from Candy Shoppe Design, which to scrap funny, hilarious or embarrassing memories that you won't dare to scrap before.
Well, I think these pictures from my recent field trip was quite embarrassing. I have a very sensitive skin, and easily burned. So, during the field trip, I covered my face using a handkerchief, looking like a street robber or something.. hehe.. It was really hot and humid, so the handkerchief really help to avoid the sun. Even with that, my face and body still burnt slightly. However, I had a great field trip, so I also include some happy photos too.. :)) These October Afternoon papers are perfect for this, and I even used the paper Report Card: Field Trip, where I pasted the label onto the layout... TFL!!
Hi everyone! Candy Shoppe Design has a challenge to use the word "I" in any interpretation. So, for this new year, I created this layout- I jump! into life. I kinda take a leap into 2010 with full force. I also love the quotes - Live well, Laugh often & Love much. I mean, that are the essence for happiness, right? I will try to live my life to the fullest :)
This layout is of course for Creative Scrappers Sketch #87. I am playing around with some doilies and distress inks, but ended up sponging the whole doilies with ink, and I love how that turned out! It brought contrast to the whole layout. This is a picture during my trip to Borneo, one of the best jumping photos out of tenths of pictures. We jumped and we posed but this is the best one. :)
Another layout before the year turns again.. Here is a picture of us celebrating New Year 2 years ago. We gathered at our house, had a nice BBQ and played rounds of games before 2008 came. I was pregnant with Zara at that time, due anytime then. Hubby was hoping for a 2007 baby, so apparently that did not worked out.. :) It was a fun time with our friends, having best friends like them really made our life better.
This layout is for Candy Shoppe Design December challenge. We have to incorporate as much from the list provided. I chose blue, silver, white, tree and pearls. This is something a bit of out of ordinary for me, using blue & silver, but I like how it turned out. It has kind of winter feel to it, although I felt it to be more like a wedding invitation rather than New Year layout.. haha! This layout is inspired by Twisted Sketch #29. The twist this time is red or gold, hence the gold bird down there - have to match the wintery theme here!
This layout is kinda special.. It was specially made to celebrate the release of the latest Twilight movie New Moon. I completed this layout last Saturday, November 20, the day New Moon is released. I admit it, I am a Twilight freak! I can't wait to watch the movie when it hits Malaysia next week (one week late!!! duh!!). I heard that it got bad ratings, but who cares? I don't expect much, as the book will always be better than the movie.. plus it is my least favorite book (maybe because less Edward? hehe).
Ok- enough about the movie.. Candy Shoppe Design has a Twilight theme contest that I couldn't resist, Team Edward vs Team Jacob challenge, to be exact. I am an all out Team Edward fan, of course! To be on Team Edward, you have to use a little bit of black and red and some bling2 (vampires shine like diamond in the sun, right?). I only have to use a bit of the colors, but I decided to make them the dominant colors. This is my first time using black as the background, but I like how it turned out. It is a picture of me with my version of Edward Cullen.. hehehe
This layout is also inspired by Happy ScrapsNovember poster challenge. Love how the black color also matches my Team Edward theme too.. My background paper mimic the bird feather and the dangling gems matched the sparkling black brads in my layout. For this layout, I used Ed's Sketch November challenge. We have to use background stamps, which I stamped on the kraft paper and added it to the layout.
I did this layout for Candy Shoppe Design Striptease challenge. CSD has a point system where you will earn a point to enter the monthly blog candy draw. There are a lots of rules for this challenge; we have to use strips of paper (that's why it's called striptease challenge.. not the other stripping.. hehe), and use the color palette below, but with cream being the dominant color. Extra point if we use the sketch provided too. Plus, we need to add some touch of gold too. That's a long list, right? But very interesting challenge nonetheless.
Here is my interpretation.. I scrapped this cute photo of Zara, playing during a friendly soccer games at TNB Klang. I don't have any cream papers, but I used a silver one instead. I'm glad that I managed to use these pretty and bright colored stickers.
This layout is inspired by Candy Shoppe Design Warm-It Up Pre-challenge.. It is a warm up before the launch of CSD, and I think it is a fun challenge and want to give it a try.. The challenge is to create a layout using the sketch provided, but only to use warm colors. Not really sure what constitutes as warm colors, but I think brown is very warm indeed.
The theme of this layout fits Scrap the Boys August challenge, where we have to scrap our boys with food. Zareef really loves fruits; he will eat almost every kind of fruits. But he loves local fruits the best. He likes this 'buah salak', which is quite rare in Malaysia. They are more famous in Indonesia. Our Bibik introduced it to Zareef, and he really loves it. Personally, I don't like it that much, so I don't usually buy them, plus it's not readily available. Luckily, Bibik will always get some for Zareef everytime she takes the day off. He calls them 'buah kulit tajam'.. :)
