Scrappin Kids July challenge

Scrappin Kids has a interesting challenge this month, which is to capture the moments that are not the most pleasant. I found this picture of Zareef who looked so 'tak puas hati' (unsatisfied) over something. We were outside playing at our lawn. I can't remember exactly why he was so grumpy as he always has that face on him, especially when he didn't get his way. My guess is that he just picked a fight with Zara, we scolded him, and then he went merajuk.. heheh..

This layout is a very simple one, but I like the bright colors, and how it contrast with Zareef's darker mood. I also just love the lion stickers, aren't they cute? It fits the theme, as when he's mad, he sometimes growled like a lion. :) It's been a while since I use lots of thickers and this title really deserved the main attention.. to highlight Zareef's favorite words when he needs our attention.. "Oh Mom, I got big problem here!!!"

Scrappingchix 1st anniversary party!

I attended Scrappingchix anniversary party yesterday, and it was a blast! The owner, Nad made us feel at home and not to mention served lots of yummy delicious food. Not only we're feasting the eyes with Nad's lovely creations and hard-to-resist scrapping supplies, we're heavily feasting on the food too! Nad and her mom baked like 6 or something different kind of cakes and pastries, in addition to soto and yummy appetizers.

Opps.. back to the scrap party. We had a fun time making mini album with guest designer Yatie. We did a chipboard gate-fold like album, and it was my first try on embossing technique. Now I have to get myself a heat gun! The effect is just awesome! We didn't finished our albums, since we were busy shopping (hehe). I am not a big mini album fan, but I will try and embellish the album as soon as I can.

Thanks for the fun time, Nad. Although her place is sooo far away (took me almost an hour plus the sesat2), the trip was definitely worth it. I also got to meet new scrapper friends. Congratulations on your 1st anniversary, Nad!

Nad's lovely altered art...

The lot..

Scrap The Girls July Challenge

After 2 weeks of scrapping hiatus, I feel like I lost my 'juice' at first. It took me a while to organize my thoughts and have the creativity flowing again. I know that I want to do this Scrap the girls challenge, which is a color challenge. You have to use the color pallets as below in your layout. Love the colors.. so girly.. :)

I did a layout of this photo of a few days old Zara, which was taken by our friend Amru. The photo is like screaming to be scrapped. Just loved the way she is captured in this photo, so angelic and serene.. Thus, I made this simple layout to capture the precious moment.. newborns are just so adorable, don't you think?

Baby's first love.. Zara's first few days..
