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!

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 :)

Drama Queen

Hello everyone! What a lovely long weekend we had here in Melbourne. It is Labor Day weekend and the weather was perfect :) We went to the Moomba Festival.. a free carnival by the Yarra and watched How to Train your Dragon show. It was awesome! The dragons looks real and the effects are stunning! Zareef especially, had lots of fun. Zara on the other hand, couldn't be bothered and slept halfway through it. Haha!

Anyway, here's one layout I did yesterday. I am joining Get Picky inspiration challenge. It was a nice girly pictures with pink, yellow and white niceties. I can't resist this one! I scrap this picture of Zara sooking.. And if you know Zara, the title is very fitting :D I use a gorgeous sketch from Sketchabilities for this one. I love how this one turned out :)

Gonna be a really short week.. with a short Perth trip and one day training.. I'll barely have any work done this 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!

Swim Time

I am really glad it cool down a bit today. It was 40C for two days a couple of days ago! I am happy to be in the 20s :) Another layout today.. it's from Sketchabilities Sketch #62. Zareef and Zara enjoy their swim class, although sometimes it's hard to get them to go to class at first. Here are some pics of Zareef swimming.. He's doing quite well, a lot of progress within a year.

Is it only Wednesday? weekend come faster, please!

Snow Play

In the spirit of Chrismas, I created a layout with Christmas theme.Well, at least I tried too! I have to use the Nook's Christmas kit after all, right? These winter pictures are half a year late, but the kit is perfect for these pictures. Here are some pictures of Zareef playing with snow at Lake Mountain, VIC. Fun fun day, it was actually his birthday! :) I use Sketchabilities Sketch for this one, and what a fun and unique sketch! I had fun doing this a lot!

So, what's your plan for New Year's Eve? Hope you have something fun planned ;) Thanks for visiting!

I Trust You

Not that I think anyone would notices, but I have not updated this blog for a while. I have been quite busy since returning from Houston. My mom is back in Malaysia, so I am back to being a soccermom. It is not as bad as I thought, and I am adjusting to our new routines. Weekends are always packed with something to do, with the weather getting better and warmer (not this weekend, it's gloomy and rainy!)

So, I am happy to get some scrapping done this weekend. This layout is based on Bird is the Word "Trust" challenge. I just love this picture of the kids, a moment of tenderness that is honestly quite rare! I use Sketchabilities Sketch #60 for this layout.

Have a great week ahead! Another busy one for me! :|
