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. 

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...

HOME is where you are

Hola! Yeah.. back to work tomorrow.. in the freezin morning. How come I feel like it's winter already? So, I was busy retail therapying today.. trying to find some boots and winter stuffs. How hard is it to find the perfect boot? I didn't find one that fits me! They are all to big for my skinny calf.. :( Better luck next time!

OK.. back to important stuffs.. I really like how this layout turned out. It's for Once Upon a Sketch Home theme challenge. I scrapped this cool picture of us. It is true, home is where my hubby and family are. Back from Malaysia to USA to Malaysia again then here now in Australia, I always believe home is where they are :)

Plus it is fitting to join Scrapbookers Anonymous again... Love the map paper, it kinda ties everything together.. the colors and also the story of how we moved around but are always "home"... Gosh, sorry about the cheesiness.. hehehe

Looking forward already to the weekend! :) Thanks for visiting

Defying Gravity

Hellooooo everyone! Hope you are having a great start to yet another month! I finally managed to scrap a little bit after our holidays. Gold Coast was AWE-oh-oh-SOME! Besides spending a day at Sea World, wet and miserable, the other 3 days was great! The rollercoaster was not too bad and my favourite is The Buzz-Saw @ DreamWorld. I went on 3 times.. yes, three! There wasn't much crowd that day and one of my friend went SIX times! :D I surely come again, especially when the kids are older and can go on the rides with us.

Anyhooo... here is a layout I did on Sunday.. inspired by Twisted Sketches #141 with a twist of Leap. So I chose these pictures of us... jumping! :D Also joining Scrapbookers Anonymous stickers challenge. I felt a bit rusty when I stopped scrapping for a while; spending almost half a day thinking about the layout instead of making them! Hope you like it..

Enjoy your week! Thanks for visiting!

Our Journey

Happy Tuesday! Here's another layout to share. It is based on Bird is the Word "Journey" challenge. It is also fitting to combine with Get Picky holiday challenge. I want to scrap our latest New Zealand holiday but I haven't even gone through all the photos yet. So, I scrapped our last summer @ Tasmania instead. I used Sketchabilites #64 for this one. Hope you like it!

Thanks for visiting! Until I scrap again, enjoy the rest of the week!

Love Love Love

Well,  it's February people! And most challenges are all about LOVE :) Here's one for ARTastic challenge. February brings a challenge based on Heart & Soul painting by Brenda York. The criteria this is red hearts, B&W photo and red monotone with a touch of green. I used Lets' Capture These Sketches #118 for this layout..

I re-scrap this photo cause I love it so much. It is really simple, but I like how it turned out.. :)

Thank you for visiting. Hope you are having a great weekend so far!

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

To Have a HOME...

I am finally home, guys!!! After an adventurous trip to the land of US of A, I am finally home. I was one of the unlucky ones who got stranded in LA, thanks to Qantas. We are merely minutes away from takeoff, all passenger settled in, when the announcement was made to ground all flights and we had to disembark the plane. It was about 2am when we got ourselves a hotel room!! Not so happy with Alan Joyce, such a disgrace!!!

I spent 2 nights in LA before I managed to get myself a ticket home through Korea Air instead. It was a 24 hours flight, where it should only be 14 hours with Qantas. So yeah, I am still recovering from that long journey. One upside is that I managed to see more of the glamorous LA.. It was fun, and if I stay longer, I might like the city :) The weather was perfect too.

It seems fitting then to reveal this layout I did almost a month ago. I am honored to be chosen as From Screen 2 Scrap Movie Extra for November. The movie this month is "Home for the Holidays" and the criteria is to journal with a white pen, use HOME in the title and use a photo of a family gathering. So I scrap this photo of us during last Eid celebration. Love this quote from a musical I know, this must be how it feels to have a home. Yup, so glad I am HOME!

Oh man, back to office tomorrow. It feels like I was on a 3 weeks holiday! A shopping spree holiday it was! haha.. Anyway, glad to be back and hope to scrap more soon :) 

Fun Fun Fun

Hello Hello! How is everyone doing? It is a lovely Monday for me as I got a new office with a view of Yarra River! I am so excited, at least I am not stucked in a cavern room all by myself. I will post a picture from my office soon.. :)

Here is a layout I did last weekend.. It's for Scrap It With A Song! This time we're listening to The Beach Boys' Fun Fun Fun. I chose this picture of us at Great Ocean Road that scream FUN! haha..  I used Stuck On Us Sketches for this layout. It is a really simple layout.. I am getting lazier and lazier.. haha! But hope you all like it...

 These buttons help to 'complete' the layout..

Have a great week ahead! Huzzahhh!
