Reach for the sky

Hello everyone! Another hiatus for me :( I've been swarmed with activities over the weekends that I don't have much time for scrapping :((((

Anyway, here is a layout I managed to whip on Sunday. It's a very simple one, inspired by Bird is the Word "Reach" challenge. I joined Once Upon a Sketch season theme sketch for this one too. Here are pictures from our last NZ trip. Hubby super duper excited to see "Mount Doom" of LOTR.

I also link in Challenge Me Happy recipe challenge. Hope I don't miss anything from their long list of things! I am inspired also by Lawnscaping Challenge photo inspiration but I missed the deadline (big time!) but it is a nice picture.

  

Did you spy the origami? :) Thanks for visiting!! Even if I only update once in a while :) 

 

Beautiful Day

Hey hey hey.. How's your Monday? The highlight of my day was when we danced through Glee's "We can't stop the beat" in Zumba today! Exactly like in the show, so that was fun :)

Here is another layout I want to share. Somehow this layout was inspired by multiple challenge. First being Frosted Designs 'Weather' challenge. Also for Scrap It With a Song "Beautiful Day" by U2.. Love that song.. :) These pictures are from our New Zealand trip at Pakiri Beach. The weather was picture perfect that evening and we had lots of fun with these shots :D

The colors of the layout were inspired by Challenge Me Happy poster challenge. Just love the bright pastel colors in the photos; and pink and turquoise are just perfect together. I also join ScrapFIT weekend warm-up #26 challenge, which is to scrap at least 4 photos. And lastly, I used Creative Scrappers Sketch #203 for inspiration ;)

At least Monday is over, right? Have a good week, guys! And thanks for visiting...

New You

Hey peeps.. February is here, can you believe it! Where has January gone?

Here's a quick layout I did.. my heart wasn't really in it and I was rushing. I was inspired by Challenge Me Happy 'NEW' challenge and used Twisted Sketch #136 for this layout.

Sorry for the quick update.. but enjoy the weekend, guys! Thanks for visiting

Topsy Turvy

Happy Spring everyone! Well at least everyone in southern hemisphere :) We enjoyed another gorgeous, warm blue sky day in Melbourne. We spent most of the day in Royal Botanic Garden.. oh what a beautiful garden!

I have been slacking off again.. my scrapping corner has been abandoned for a while... last weekend we had lots of Raya/Eid parties, so most of the weekend spent eating and eating and enjoying companies of friends :) Plus the weather is getting nicer so we can't resist going out and wander around.. At least this weekend I managed to complete a couple of layouts..

This one is inspired by Challenge Me Happy #7 "BOM" Book Of Me challenge.. It's time to scrap about something fun/funny about ourselves! It took me a while to think of something fun/funny about myself. I don't label myself funny at all.. So when I did this layout I don't have a title in mind..

I got my hubby and my son  to help suggest a title and they seems to have A LOT to say about me, especially my son. Some of them are really funny like "Mama, you're bossy... " or my husband said I am a "Teenager in Disguise".. What is that supposed to mean? hahahah..

But none of it seems to match the flowery design of my layout.. Haha, should have create something 'funny' instead, huh? But anyway, I came up with Topsy-Turvy, which means chaotic or just big jumble of mess.. haha.. If you know me REALLY well, that's what I am. My husband can attest to this!

The sketch comes from Once Upon A Sketch challenge.. the journaling criteria is to journal at least 2 lines directly on the photos.. So I put a journaling label on the photo.

Thanks for visiting dearies.. :)

No Way!

Hello peeps! I am so glad that hubby is coming home tomorrow! Yippieee!!! Another simple layout I did last weekend.. This time playing along with Challenge Me Happy #3 sketch challenge. How do you like my paint job? :)) I had fun playing with paint and love how it turned out!

This picture of Zareef was taken a year ago, during his first days in child care. What did he do? Yeap, had a fight! Someone in his class scratched his face, not once, twice but thrice!! But I know Zareef was tough as the teacher said he fought back alright!! Ahhhh.. boys!

I am inspired by another song by Darren Criss from A Very Potter Sequel Musical.. I think the lyrics fit Zareef's fighting spirit perfectly.. Not that I encourage him to fight with other kids, but to fight & defend himself against all elements

There's no way you're gonna find me in the background

No way you'll gonna see me satisfied

No way they're ever gonna make back down
No No Way! There's No way! There's NO WAY!

What do you think?

 

Again, thanks so much for visiting!!! :))

Blue Skies

Hello everyone! Winter has turned around again... no more sunshine, but rain, cold and strong wind instead.. :(( Too bad since it is school holiday now. Oh well, I want to share a layout I did last Sunday. Ironic the title doesn't reflect the weather now! Plus, this is my first layout scrapping non-people pictures!

The layout is inspired by Scrapping The Music "Blue Skies" challenge, hence the title. The pictures of Tassie beach and white sand just screamed Blue Skies at me.. hehe.. I am also joining color challenge at Challenge Me Happy 2nd challenge. The bright colors are so summery!! For this layout, I used Pencil Lines Sketch #244.

 

Thanks again for dropping by...
