Such a Charmer

Hello everyone! I feel like I've abandoned the site for a long time. Since the kids started ballet and soccer, our Saturday mornings are busy. With housework, laundry, ironing, yadda yadda.. I barely have time to scrap. SO, I am SO glad that it is now school holiday here in Victoria!!! Hip, Hip, Hooray!!! Usually I don't like school holiday as everywhere will be crowded, but now it means free weekends!!! And 5 (yes, 5 for us!!!) days weekend is coming up in Friday.

OK, I am already looking forward for Easter Friday. Plus, I managed to whipped this layout out. It is inspired by Bird is The Word Charm challenge. I used Let's Capture the Sketches Sketch #126 for this layout. Here are pictures of Zara being a charmer at Brighton Beach :) Hope you enjoy it!

Have a great week ahead.. Look out for a GD reveal from me soon! ;) And oh, this layout won Get Picky inspiration challenge.. Thanks, guys!

Miss scrapping...

Hello everyone.. I didn't have anything to share today as I haven't been scrapping for 2 weekends now. Hopping through the blogs made me missed scrapping a bit... I was too busy lately! However, I am blessed that my layouts picked up some honorable mentions and winning some vouchers :) That kind of made my day.. :)))

I got Honorable Mention for Get Picky for this layout:

This layout is a double winner. I won 4th place in Once Upon A Sketch for this layout. It's an honor as there are over 80 entries for this one!! Also picked up a voucher from Frosted Design.. I have to say this is one of my fav layout :)

Well that's it folks! Maybe after my trip to Gold Coast I get to do more scrapping.. thanks for visiting anyway!

Oh Boy!

Happy Monday, peeps! It's a lovely day in Melbourne, cool down a bit after the storm yesterday. Here's another layout I did this weekend. This time it's inspired by Once Upon A Sketch challenge. The challenge is about suprise suprise... LOVE. We need to scrap & journal about a male that we love.

So, I scrap this intriguing picture of my son. He is certainly a boy with his own bright mind that drives me crazy most of the time. But he is a smart boy, and I just hope he will reach for the stars, but stay grounded all the time. That's part of my journalling.

I also joined in Frosted Designs ribbons and/or twine challenge. I used both in this layout.. see if you can spot them.

I am happy to know that I got 3rd place in Scrap The Girls January challenge for this layout! I always join their challenge but I NEVER win so this makes my day :)

Thanks again for visiting, ladies!!!

Hold Me Tight

I can't believe that Sunday is over! And it's the start of school holiday here! Oh well, here is another of Scrap It With A Song... The song this time is Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler. Another classic, as I barely remember this song.. he he.. There are a lot of beautiful lines from the song to scrap with, quite romantic really :) You barely realize what most songs are about unless you really look into the lyrics, right?

So here I scrapped a picture of us near Three Sisters at Blue Mountain, Sydney :) I used Nook May kit for this one and lots of Prima flowers, which I am using a lot lately!

On the other hand,  June had been nice to me as I won a few challenges!!! First off is Scrap-It-Lah challenge for All That I Need...


Now I found out that I won From Screen 2 Scrap UP challenge too!

Plus this Sweet Dollies layout here won My Fave Toys challenge AND Butterfly Crafts challenge too.. 

I am super excited!

I don't usually expect to win when I enter these challenges.. I just did them because they are fun and inspirational. But winning is like the icing on the cake :)

Thanks again for dropping by... Your lovely comments always keep me motivated and make my day.. And don't forget to join us at Scrap It With A Song and Sketchabilities. Also, do join me and other talented ladies in Polkadot Door Design July blog hop! Have a great week of July ahead!

On the other hand, I am very pleased to know that I won My Fave Toys challenge!! Maybe it's Lynda's house luck or charm.. We should scrap more often, girl!! :)))

Here are the goodies that are coming my way.. yeay!

Here comes Devastator!

Hello Monday. I am so glad that this will be a short work week for me, as Easter holiday is around the corner.. Yay, can't wait! Anyway, wanna share another layout today.. this one is for These Are a Few of My Favorite Things Past challenge. Yes, we can choose any of their past challenges. How cool is that?

For this one, I chose My Favorite Toy. At least Zareef's fave!! He really really really like Transformers, especially this particular 'Devastator' robot. If you watch Revenge of the Fallen, you have to admit it is kinda cool! It is made up of 7 different Decepticon robots. Zareef has two different 'Devastator' robots, a small AND a big version. Talk about total fanatics! LOL!

I used Creative Scrappers Sketch #151 for this one. I like this sketch, it is a bit different and perfect for these pictures!

I am glad to finally use these tractors and trucks stickers.. perfect for 'Devastator' theme.. :))

The list of robots that made up 'Devastator'.. yeah, now I am Transformers educated!

Did some misting over Tim Holz masks.. great compliment to Nook April kit, I think!

And oh, did I mention I won Scrapping The Music "Hanging by a moment"? Yeay! Have a great week ahead!!! :)

My first Golden Globe!!!!

YEAY! I won I won I won!!! I was thrilled that I was picked as the winner of From Screen 2 Scrap March challenge.. Wohoo! Thanks Shazza and the DTs for picking my layout...You girls really made my day :)))))))

And look at what I've won.... Yeay!! jumping with joy.. hehe

Lets Capture These Sketches - Wonder boy

I have been invited to be April Guest Designer for Capture These Sketches. Remember my Sleepy, Silly and Happy challenges? Guess what? I won February's Snow White challenges grand prize!!! So, they asked me to join in their team for the month of April. How fun is that!

Here's my layout based on Calia's Sketch #31. Some cute photos of Zareef showing off his funky hairstyle, while smirking at the camera. I am misting again, this time I am playing with the title. I misted the alphas, then drew the outline myself. I kinda like how that turned out.. :)) Do check out the site and join in the sketches!!

And I am also glad that this layout won the random prize from March ARTastic challenge!! Yey, more goodies on the way... :)))

Can't wait to be your best friend!

Happy weekend everyone!! Here is a layout fresh from the oven! This layout is inspired by Scrap The Girls Sex & The City poster challenge. I am inspired by the colors and the friendship theme. Also, These Are a Few of My Favorite Things are scrapping about favorite friends! What is more precious than having a daughter as your best friend? :) Thus, I scrapped this lovely picture of Zara in the studio. The sketch for this layout is from Twisted Sketches #39, with a fabric twist this time. TFL!!


Oh, I forgot to include this. It is a pleasant surprise to know that this layout won Groovie Cover February challenge! :))

Queen of our hearts

Another day, another layout. Here is one of our little princess, sweetly posing for the camera. Yeah, she knows how to pose at the camera now :) I wanted to create a purple layout to match our outfits and added some greens into the layout so that it will not be overload with purple! I think it is a nice combination. Here the layout is based on Sketchabilities Oct 15 Sketch. Love all the layering of papers in the sketch! I used mostly papers from Kaiserkraft.. love all the purple! TFL!


And I just found out that this layout won the Groovie Cover January challenge.. YEY!!

Sneaky peaky!

Hi everyone! It's been a busy but fun weekend last week. We went for NATS family day at Janda Baik on Saturday and joined ERC treasure hunt on Sunday. I only managed to complete one layout last weekend, as I was just so tired to stay up and scrap. But it was a good kind of tired as we had a blast weekend. Read more about it our weekend getaways at Zazamazu blog.

The layout I did was for Creative Scrappers, which can only be revealed this Sunday. Here is a sneak peak of it.. don't forget to come back on Sunday for the reveal! ;)

Oh, I just found out I won 3rd prize for Scrap The Boys for this layout. Yey!!! I won a boy kit from What is Old is New Kit!!!! Too bad that this blog is shutting down as I enjoyed joining their challenges...
