I started scrapbooking since January 2009, but was hooked into it ever since. I recently moved to Melbourne, and loving it! I took a break from scrapping after the move but glad that I started again early 2011! My family has been my scrapping inspiration. My wonderful hubby, together with our lovely son and daughter completes me. Geologist by profession, but scrapbooking is my first passion. This blog is where I share my modest creations, as I am truly.. scrapperocks!
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?
It's July already! Here is another very interesting challenge from Scrap-It-Lah.. the Malaysian breakfast challenge! It's a very interesting and refreshing challenge from Jessy and Michelle, and it allows a lot of freedom in your layout interpretations too! The challenge is that you have to choose combination of delicious breakfast "menu" to make up your layout. Come and let have some delicious Malaysian breakfast!
Here is my take for this challenge.. "Someone to watch over me"
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there... especially to my husband, who has been a great dad to my kids. I don't know how I would take care of the kids alone, and appreciate him really really much. One thing for sure, his influence and guidance on the kids are strong, and they are very lucky to have him as their dad. Thank you dear, Happy Father's Day!
Here is a layout I did before I left for Houston.. seems like a long time ago...
The quest has begun.. We invaded the first store, Hobby Lobby. Although it is not a 'real' scrapbook store (it is an art, craft, home deco, sewing, etc store), it has a BIG variety of scrapbook materials! I went goo-goo ga-ga over them, and even my mom joined the hype and craziness. I think I influenced my mom to start scrapbooking too (previously she doesnt seems to get why I'm so into scrapbooking.. hehe). I bought a cart-loads of paper packs and stickers, which I think were such a good bargain. Other stuffs are just so-so, only slightly cheaper than at Malaysia. They also have clearance, and their clearance are not like in Malaysia! They were almost 50% off, and very nice stuffs too! (No way these stuffs will be in clearance basket in Malaysia)
Ok, here are the picture of yummylicious things I bought today.. Dont you love the paper packs? I'm sure if my scrapbook friends are here with me, we will go crazy and shop for hours! I plan to sell some of the paper loose.. any takers? Will go to one more shop before in Houston before I go home (yes, only ONE more.. look at the damage done with one store!). This one is a specialized Scrapbook Place.. hope that they have more choice and more clearance! Ok, will update later! If I am rajin enough (or excited enough) I will try & scrap (with my mom?) here.
The paper packs.. One paper pack has 180 pieces (high quality!), but only costs US20. Cheap, right?
The others.. stickers on bargain cost only US2- US3 (including the lovely K&Co stickers)
Hi fellow scrappers and friends, welcome to my Scrapperocks! blog. I decided to revive it again, after aborting the blog for a while. I thought that it will be easier just to update one blog, our family's zazamazu. But, as I progressed through the scrapbooking realm, I realized that a blog is essential for scrappers as a way to share their masterpiece and as the main communication tool. Also, for some scrappers, their blog served as their 'resume' to apply for a Designer job for a manufacturing company or a challange site. Hence, I revived this blog, with a facelift. Thanks for dropping by this blog, and your comments and support just motivate and inspire me further.
This week, I did these layouts about our Birthday Boy Zareef. He turns 4 this June, so it is the perfect time to create layouts for my boy (plus without realizing, I have lots of boyish papers and embellishments!). I still can't believe that Zareef is 4 years old already. Time flies so fast, you can barely catch them growing up!!
REACHING FOR THE STARS
Love these pictures of Zareef playing at the park near our house. I finally got the chance to use this very cool Fancy Pants paper, which is perfect for the occasion.
MY BOY
I love these boyish and grunge papers from Kaisercraft, and this picture is perfect for it! This picture was taken by Amru during Qamelia 1st birthday. Love the shot, showed a mischiveous and naughty look of Zareef :)
I just could not resist the interesting sketch from Bearybox challenge#28, that I created a layout from it. I finally managed to use the large flowers I have in my stash (just love flowers!). I love this picture (thanks amru for the nice shot!) of Zareef and Soraya's daughter, Qariena. Zareef is very close with Qariena @ Nana. Everytime they meet, they will hold hands and go everywhere together... hehe.. (romeo sungguh!)
