A Layout and & Cleaning in Progress

I cannot believe how much junk i have in my scrap room. Going thru each and every one is just taking too much time. I've just sorted all the pattern papers and i can tell you it took me like 2 days to just clear that part. I have so much papers and i'm still eyeing for more. Hahaha. One thing that i'm very happy that i also sorted out my ribbon rolls. I found this mini cubicle and it fits all the rolls. Here is how it looks like. I still have long way to go before i could have nice, clean, neat scrap room. Can't wait for that!


I decided to participate in the Color Room latest palette challenge...which is the #42. I've always admire people who follows the palette closely and i really want to try them one day. So here i am, my take for the challenge.


I've always been a fan of Ronda Palazzari....her splattering of paint are just awesome. I can't help but to try her techniques but i twisted it a bit by using crayon. It definitely dries faster than paint. Hope you like it too.

Till again

Looking forward

I cannot believed that it has been 3 months since i last blogged. It get a little dusty over here!! Haha... I have finally settled down with a good domestic helper and thats a big relieved for me. But it took me a difficult journey to get the kids comfortable with her and i was so drained out late last year. But good thing everything is almost alright and i can be back here.

But that doesn't stop me from creating and window shopping as far as scrapping is concern. Hahaha...once a scrapper is always a scrapper right?? I seen so many fabulous work around the country and lots of new stuff especially this coming 2011 CHA winter. Very yummylicious i must say.

I started this new with this resolution in particular .....organising my scrap room. It used to look like a "jungle" (my husband's favourites quote!). But there is so much to do. I started doing a few stuff...like organising my embellishment, stamps and ribbons. It took me about 5 days already and i'm still half way thru. I found clear casing from a bakery shop and it really does wonders to keep things organised. It comes in different sizes such as 4" x 4" , 5" x 5", 9" x 4"...etc. Prices? Seriously cheap...cost me just RM1.50 the most!

Round Clear Casing for my ribbons

Square Casing for my embellishment

Square Boxes for my Prima Flowers

I thought i started this year scrapping by some sketches. I saw this lovely one from Pencilines. I decided this should be the best times to use my old stash that has been piling up here at my room. So here it is my take using K&Co Amy Butler Paper - The AB Lotus Faded China Collection.


I'm really looking forward to create more this year. Hoping my brain will function well to generate more creative juices. Hehe...Happy New Year Scrapper!

What's In My Bag

I know that i have decided to step down from all my DTship but deep down in me i know that i have not given up on scrapbook. Its just hard to find some little quality time but i must not forget "The Person" who still believe in me and value my small contribution. Thanks Mich! When she emailed out the challenge for Scrap it Lah October Challenge...i was clueless on how should i start doing it. I was still mojoless...being away too much from scrapping table doesn't seems to help at all.

I was also stressed out at home handling domestic helper issues which never ends. I know that i'm not alone in this department but i hope one fine day i could fine a nice decent one who really wants to work with no hassle. Or maybe i shouldn't hope. Arrgghhhhh...sigh sigh sigh.

It took me 3 nights to finish this Scrap It Lah Challenge. This is the longest period that i took to complete just 1 page. But i'm happy, once i'm done with it, i can just go on and on and i finish another one! Yeay! and another Yeay because i managed to scrap Tihany's First Birthday picture.

Ohh..Tihany is already 1 year old and she has started walking now. Her steps are still wobbly, it will take sometimes before her legs get strong but she is certainly thriving each moments. Very very talkative...she's able to call me..."Ama" means Mama, "Yah" means Dad, "Abe" means "Brother" and "Ba" means "Bird"......hahahha...so cute.

Please head over to Scrap It Lah's blog for interesting challenge this month. You are required to scrap What is in your handbag? We thought it would be fun to document some day to day life scenarios and one of the things that we women can't do without is our handbags. We would like you to take a photo/photos of your handbag and the contents of it and scrap it into a layout for us this month.

Here is my take.....look at what i have in my bag! I'm a proud owner of Iphone 4! I queue for whole day just to get that phone....hahahaha...silly me right??


I'm also sharing with you another LO i made using Tihany's First Birthday Picture. Look at how happy she is ....Happy Birthday My Love.

What i've seen...

I used to hop around blogs looking at how amazing people create their layouts but i have stop hopping since my mojo went away. But i managed to peek at some of them last week ...and oh wow...i was totally overwhelmed looking how creative they can think when constructing their layouts. I would like to share it with you and let me know if you share same opinion with me.

This is top of my list...created by Leena Loh - http://findingnana.com. I must say she played well with all the white space. With a splatter of paint...it looks so interesting that i could not take my eyes away.

My 2nd favourite list came from Michelle - http://chowchowscraps.blogspot.com. Michelle has used some of her old papers..maybe the collection was 3-4 years back.This is why we should not forget old stash. You never know ideas might just come and old can become something new and fresh.

Last one is from Emeline....Look at how creative Emeline - http://scrapvilla.blogspot.com ...did with this LO. Blending plain printed papers and some colors make it look so beautiful.


Lastly from me! haha...i love it because it is my daughther's pic. Love her petite looks when she was 6 months.


Btw...i'm totally overwhelmed with the responses from all you. Thank so much for the lovely comments....it inspire me to create more! Appreciate it all!

Mr Mojo...nice to see you again!

Since my last post i thought i am going to be diligently updating my blog but that was just a say... fasting month is kinda tough to do lots of things. First 2 weeks i was busy with the prayers and last week was the whole baking cookies marathon. But it was nice to finally get to scrap and clean the mess that i have here in my scrap room. I look at my stash...oh wow...i should find some time to scrap more often. I must say i have so much stuff here and sometimes i forget what i have. Maybe i should start making stash catalogue! hahaha...

I have this collection from Fancy Pants which i adore to the max. I love the colors, designs, basically everything there. It is the Father & Son Collection. I'm all excited when i started playing with the papers and it was nice of Mr Mojo to drop by even just for a day. I made 2 layouts of my boys....the big and the small ones...hehe. And i kinda like how it turns out to be.



Well , i will come back again soon, is a promised k! ....and now i'm off for a final rounds of baking before Raya. Wishing all of you a safe journey where ever you are going and have a fun holidays!

Long long due

My god...its been so long since my last post. I'm dusting away all the spiderwebs around my blog. hahaha...i'm not sure what happen. I just lost my mojo, my strength to scrap. I just spend my nites watching tv, movies and sleep. It was really a good break. I think i was tired. I found another new hobby that really occupied my energy and mind....i've become a exercise freak! I guess that is why i find myself in hibernate mode by 10pm. But deep in my heart, i've yet to forget my love for scrapbook. Finally after so so much effort, i've made 2 layouts today. It felts so good! hahaha....

I love this one....this pic was taken 2 weeks ago in Cameron Highlands. This is the picture that was take at the right time with the right look! I love how i look into Tihany. Thanks to my hubby for the shots!


This pics was another adorable one....i love how Tihany was so happy to be in the pool for the first time.
I'm not sure when i will be back...but i hope it will be pretty soon. Lots of pics to scrap! Till again...
