Scrap the Boys July challenge

Here is a layout for Scrap the Boys July challenge, where the theme is "Real boys don't... ". Actually, we are suppose to scrap pictures of our boys doing girly things, but I can't find any suitable picture of Zareef acting girlish. I guess that our boy is 100% boy and rough and tough as boys can be.. haha..

But I think it's appropriate to scrap stuffs that real boys do too. So here it is, Real Boys are nice to girls. Zareef is most almost nice to girls about his age. He acted all sweet and nice around girls, especially with his buddy Qariena or Nana. But this does not apply to Zara tough. It's all rough and tumble with Zara.. :)

Rapids Freaks!

Here is a layout I did using very cheerful Nikki Sivil's "My Cherry Pie" collection. Really love the colors of the papers, very cheerful and vibrant, and especially love the trees. It fits the picture of us having fun at Kuala Kubu Baru, thundering against the rapids. It was absolutely a memorable day.

Crop party.. Scraperocks! way

I managed to persuade a couple of my friends to try out scrapbooking. Faz and Yanie, my high school buddies, came to my house yesterday and we had a mini crop party.. Scrapperocks way! I gave them a complementary (kawan punya pasal) lesson of the very basic of scrapbooking, and they seemed to enjoy it. It will be good to have more of my friends jump into scrapbooking; the more the merrier. We can scrap n crop together and maybe even share or exchange our stash.

They did a simple layout, and tried a lot of techiniques, including stamping. I sure hope they will be a serious scrapper like me in the near future.. :)

Faz & Yanie hard at work..

What a mess! In a good way
Faz's layout.. with a picture of her parents
Yanie's layout.. with a space for her newborn boy soon!! (in few weeks)

Mini Album {ME}

Finally, the mini album is finished... This album was taught by Yatie at Naddy's party last week. After months of scrapping, I noticed that I hardly scrap about myself. Most of the time it is either about Zareef or Zara or my family. So, it seems fit to create this minibook about me. Also, I realized that there are only a few nice photos of me, as I was the one who took most of the pictures and when I am in pictures, I did not look that good :) So, finding pictures to fit this album is kind of tough.. hehe.. and it is kinda weird scrapping about myself in a sense that I have to scrap and write nice things about me. When scrapping for others, I can easily compliment them by words like beautiful, cheerful, wonderful, etc etc..but when it is about me, it is weird.. :) Am I the only one that feel this way? hehe

So here it is.. my premier of ME..

Happy Birthday, Dear

As a celebration of my husband's birthday today, I made this simple layout to honor the love of my life.. Happy 28th birthday, dear. I am so humbly lucky to have you in my life, and hope we will have lots and lots of happy years together :)

This layout was made using Kaiserkraft papers that I really like. My husband's purple shirt reminds me of this papers instantly and finally a layout from these lovely papers...

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..
