Sweet Cherry

Hello hello! What is gloomy weekend here in Melbourne.. cold and rainy, perfect for staying home and scrap, right? I managed to whip one out amidst housework and entertaining the kids.

This layout is all about products. First challenge is from ScrapFIT Warm Up #32 challenge, which is to use bow or buttons. In my layout, I used both to compliment the canvas butterfly. The second one is also from ScrapFIT Workour #77 High Flying Flag challenge.

I also joined Frosted Design Doilies challenge. I used Doilies papers, rub ons and also cut outs of some. Finally, I used Sketchabilities Sketch #76 that is just perfect for this layout.

Some cherry picking photos from last summer. I am wayyy so behind on scrapping my photos. LOTS of nice photos but LESS time to scrap!! Again, taking photos with my iPhone. Suprisingly, it turned out not so bad...

 

That's it.. thanks for visiting, folks. 

Freedom

Weekend is here! Yeay!! Looking forward to watch a musical tomorrow :) I did this layout yesterday when I was baby-sitting sick Zareef for another day. It is inspired by Scrapping the Music "Freedom" challenge. I used some of the lyrics as the journaling, it is quite inspiring and kind of my words to Zara.

I also joined ScrapFIT Step Class #6 "The Negative Zone" challenge. I stamped out a couple of butterfly in the papers to get some negative zone effect. It wasn't that easy as if you messed up, there's no second chance! But it is a great way to use punchers, will keep this technique in mind for future :) I used Sketchabilities Sketch #74 for this layout. I strayed away from layering and keep it clean and simple for once :)

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!

Infinity & Beyond

Tummy bug, tummy bug.. go away! It's round two in da house, rounding back to Zareef :( Hope it stops with him now... (or I'll be next?!!) So, I stayed home to take care of him today. What else to do other than scrapping, right?

I did this layout inspired by Once Upon A Sketch "Friends" theme sketch. I scrapped this picture of hubby and our close friends having a blast in Gold Coast.

I joined Bird Is The Word "Beyond" challenge. I don't know why but Infinity & Beyond comes to mind (I am a Disney's fan after all) and it kinda fits the picture. I am also joining ScrapFIT long title challenge. I am not sure if my title is considered long, but oh well just for sharing anyway :)

Love how the scrunched layers looked :) Did you spy the hidden journaling? This is my first time doing hidden journaling... It's kind of cool when I don't want to "mess" the space with my messy handwriting LOL

Thanks for visiting!!

Colorful You

Hello everyone!!! It has been a while, isn't it?!!!! Finally after over a month hiatus, I created a layout last Sunday. Hope this will end my dry spell. Besides being busy with kids and housework, I was feeling super lazy too. People would think winter is the perfect time to scrap, but for me, winter means snuggling under blankets while watching movies!

Anyway, here is the layout I did. It was inspired Bird by the Word 'Color' challenge. (Oh, I found out I won BITW 'Look/See' challenge too!) I also joined ScrapFit Workout #70, which is to develop our own polaroid pictures. The sketch is from Sketchabilities Sketch #73.

This Echo Park papers are just gorgeous!!!!!!!! Have a great week ahead!!

How you Shine

Hello peeps.. The cold bug is creeping into our house slowly but surely.. First the kids, then my husband and then me.. So I'll make this one quick..

This layout is inspired by Scrapping the Music "Sparkle" by Rubyhorse challenge. I chose this lyrics cause yeah.. Zara is always shining.. hehe.. Also joining ScrapFIT Workout #67, which is to scrap with doilies.. one of my favourites! I used Sketchabilities Sketch #70 for this one... I always love their sketch, so inspirational :) Oh, I was featured for their Sketch #69 too, so super yeay!!

Thanks for visiting.. I better head to some needed rest!

Adele fever

How's your Monday so far? It was a s***ty Monday for me. Things didn't seem to work well in the office that I feel like I want to throw the PC out of the window! One of the days, huh?

ANYWAYS, here is a simple layout I created inspired by Scrapping the Music challenge. It is Adele fever! I watched her concert at Royal Albert Hall (only in TV unfortunately) and WOW what a voice and performer! I almost cried during Someone Like You... Watching her singing full of emotions and tears during the song was just so moving..

I just love all her songs! I can literally listen to her songs the whole day. This is a favorite too, can you guess already? It's Rolling in the Deep.. this song is full of energy and anger. These pictures of Zareef seems fitting for the lyrics I chose, don't you think?

The layout honored ScrapFIT Workout #66 inspiration photo & colors. The colors are sand, mint and cherry. Interesting combo! I used Sketchabilities Sketch #69 for this layout.

Thanks so much for visiting.. All your comments are always appreciated :)

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...

Don't mess with me!

Happy Easter, everyone! We are blissfully enjoying our long weekend :)  Hope you are enjoying your holidays as well...

Here is a layout I did yesterday, inspired by ScrapFIT Workout #65 challenge. The photo inspiration is very masculine, and I immediately know that I have to scrap this picture. At first, Zareef's look just shout "Don't mess with me!" but after I added the mustache, he looks funny and the title is like a joke now. Haha.. Doesn't matter, Zareef really likes the mustache on his face :D

I used Creative Scrappers Sketch #202 for this layout..

It's a bit sad that a lot of challenge blogs I've been following are closing down soon; Get Picky, Scrapbookers Anonymous, Twisted Sketches.. I need to find more blogs to follow! Let me know if there are any good challenge blogs out there, will ya? :)

Happy Easter Sunday everyone, :))))
