I was about to really enjoy the feeling of holidays but time flew so quickly. I will get back to work tomorrow...sigh. sigh.

sigh. :p

But good news is my Supervisor is on a loooong vacation too!! *grins* Still I gotta do some filings which I think is already piling up in the out tray!! *huhu*

I wanted to re-organise my scrapping area, my stash supplies, my papers, my etc etc but to no avail. Too lazy to even clean my table. LOL! Wanna take a peek of how it looks like when I am scrapping...? Not even my close friends realised how much mess I have made in there! *huhu*

If you cannot tolerate hideous sight, don't look! LOL

But all of these supplies, I am willing to share 'em with my friends if we do croppings together! Yeah I am not that stingy. Helps me lessen my supplies in a way. hee hee..

But I still need a bigger case to store my supplies. Perhaps like these:

Diane von Furstenberg Signature Luggage
(Perfect for a scrapbook retreat!)

or maybe just this?
Cropper Hopper leather faux patent tote *teehee*

What a class! Reminds me of Catwoman. miaww

************************

Have I mentioned that I kinda have a low mojo right now? Despite of this, managed to complete few challenges held recently in the Groovie Scraps Cafe forum.

However, I feel like there's not enough time for scrapping. Now its already Thursday. I felt like time past by so quick.... and I will get back to work by next week! ack!!

Sharing some layouts herewith. Oh soo love the feeling when mojo is (almost) cooperating with you. :)

Oh yes thanks babe for reminding me that I'm back to the real world! hehehe!!

Still haven't recovered from shopaholic fever at 1Borneo thus less creative juices flowing for the time being... Unless I'm off to splurge some dosh at my LSS especially here! Got few stuffs in reserved basket which she, she and I have done feasting our eyes on the new arrivals few weeks back! So I think I better take advantage of my "fever" before it heals...haha :p

Some shots to share.

A little tag on our luggage.

Ohh I love this shot of DD.
She was indeed my little poser (with that "peace" sign)! :)

My rating on this brief trip is 8/10. As some sections such as the Underwater world and Premier Bookstore hasn't open yet! *hmpf*

Just droppin by.

I will be very busy this weekend since there will be a family wedding event going on tomorrow (and had to miss the cropping classes with the Shabby Chic's DT!! Soo wanted to join Lia's class actually!) Now I just got back from my in-laws and my body is really aching. In two weeks time, I'll be having my real break! Yeahh!! *grin*

I just found out from Ali through Creatively Yours blog that the newly DT and GDT 2009 were all "famous" people now. Didn't get it at first. Then, I found out why. LOL! Good one!

Here's a clear picture...

Couldn't believe my name is actually being posted on ScrapScene!! wahahaha!!

Thanks Ali for enlightened us and Congrats to Noella too for her newest toot! She's one creative lady indeed! More sketches inspiration can be found here.

Ed's Sketches Got Stamps? sketch challenge for November is almost over. But you still got time till tomorrow if youre a fast scrapper. But not to worry, December sketch is coming in your way very soon :)

Here's my sneak peek layout

Aside from this, I have lots of outstanding projects for the swap thingy happening at Brunei Scrappers Forum, Scrappin Kids Forum and Groovie Scraps Cafe Forum.

Moreover, our bank's CSR club will be organising a charity garage sale sometime next week and we were asked to participate. So my friends and I were intending to make and sell some handmade items especially cards and of course non-scrapbook items such as unused clothings, electrical appliances etc etc at cheaper prices!! Will keep posting more infos once the event is confirmed. Some proceeds of sale will be donated to the charity centre.

Gotta go finished up some deadlines! Take care ♥

Some News ♥

2008-11-25T07:43:00.012+08:00

Just a quick post.

Creatively Yours has a lot of inspiring sketches and creations. I was really thrilled to share that I was offered to be their Guest Designers for January 2009!

Here's one layout I have created using their past 6"x12" sketch. It was awesome!

~* Memories *~

Pop in the blog to view more gorgeous creations and share yours too! :D

Here's another layout for Groovie Scraps Cafe for their November Crazy About Covers Inspiration Challenges.

Have a safe day everyone. *hugs*

Crop @ Jazz

2008-11-23T23:20:00.010+08:00

...which was also a hi-tea pot luck event. Meant for our lovely Poinz :)

Yeaah Girls! Pictures are up but for full views only at Facebook under ka Jazz's event. Drop me an email if you want copies of the pictures!

Personalised Cuppies from Citscakes. TQ for receiving our last minute order!

We also had a small frame altering and card-making. Yep, no picture layouts for today. We all were just chit-chatting mainly 'hosted' by ka Dina and Alin! heeeee....! (well most of the time, I'm always the quiet one! bertapa ku dulu hah!)

I only used one PP from Hello Beautiful Webster's Pages for both frame and card (plus 6x12 cardstock though). Ooohh sooo in loveee ♥ with them!

Renoa was there too but she came a little bit late.

I love this Sassafras Lass little icon on my plate!! Apparently, it was gone before I could put it in my mouth...(It could be I ate it earlier but I really cannot remember!) I guess I was suffering from a short memory loss there for a moment!! :p

Anyway, I replaced it with Prima icon! Love this even moree!! ♥

Oh well that wraps up for today. Sleep tight everyone and to Poinz, may you get enough rest before the MEGA day in a couple of weeks time! Yikess!! hehehe

~* Picture of the day *~

Save the Environment! Love our Animal and Earth!!

Taaaa :)

Fancy for a box?

2008-11-22T06:14:00.007+08:00

Morning :)

Eversince I was introduced to Scrapbooking, I find myself a bit eco-friendly. When I see certain things that seems 'alterable' or something is of a 'great resource', I would keep and store it until whenever I found the right time to make over it! I guess that goes to some of you right? :)

Here is one shoe box from Charles & Keith. It has a perfect proportion to keep the little things such as your jewellery, ribbons holder, etc etc.

~* My Keeps *~

Zoomed in. Coated it with some Ranger Distress Crackle Paints in Milled Lavender.

*****************************

A layout created from a loving mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law. Sweetness!!

Are you a Pink Paislee lover? They're having a HUGE Giveaway right now, goodies worth US$100! Pop in here and leave your comments. Who knows you might get lucky!!

Hope you have a great day ahead!

Thanks for looking! ♥

Somethin New

2008-11-20T23:35:00.019+08:00

Geezz... I don't know where to start. So I replaced a new header for my blog. Still maintaining the apple of my eye as the image background. :) DD has grown up so fast right before my eyes. Within four months, she'll be turning to three years old! Seriously, where did all the time went people???

Here's sharing something I never thought a two year old plus would act. I skipped my dinner earlier. Cooked something simple for DH though. My mother on the other side, ordered pizza delivery. While I was busy scrapping at my table upstairs, DD came to me with something in her hands.

She brought for me a slice of honey garlic pizza and a garlic bread! awwww....isn't she's the sweeeetest thing????!!! ♥ So I ate the pizza, the bread and shared them with DD. That made me smile all night, forever :)

So I received some birthday love from the girlfriends, the lovelies, the colleagues and His Majesty. Naaahhhhh kidding!!! :D

~* Pretty Handmade Cards
from the Girlfriends and the Colleagues*~
You know who you are ;)

~* The Memories from the Lovelies She *~

~* Sweet Love Spell from the Lovelies MrsA *~

Most of all, I am happy that I am surrounded by wonderful, loyal people that I deemed to call FRIENDS! ♥

*********************************

On a different note, I got tagged by Groovie Sophia Soh! Done this tagged before though but wouldn't hurt to do it again :D

~* The Rules *~

My 7 random / weird facts:

1. I don't talk much cos sometimes its better to just listen than talking (no hurt feelings though!). I am someone that people might label the QUIET GIRL. Sshhh... :)

2. I like the smell of petrol. ???

3. Sometimes I feel a sudden nervous breakdown, for no reason. Why?? Don't ask me. I also still cannot find the answer up till now. Scientifically it could be hormone changes??

4. If I wanted something, I would do anything to make it mine. But once I got them in my possession, the excitement just flew off and so the "it things" are all by themselves again. LOL! What a waste!

5. I love durians!! Gimme gimme gimme~more~ yeahh!

6. If I was late for work, I can get myself ready withing 5 minutes! LOL!! Yeahh sadly, so true. You get the picture. ;)

7. I like number seven. Seven is a sexy number to me. hehehe

Oooppss...there goes my sexy seven facts. teeheee

So I gotta rush off to bed. My body needs plenty of rest and the same goes to my eyes. It has been an irritating days for me lately...

Oh so cant wait for December!!

Some Love ♥

2008-11-16T08:08:00.014+08:00

2008-11-12T06:35:00.011+08:00

I have been trying to recharge myself back to mojo-create one of these days...but still couldn't really feel it much.

Its a sad feeling, I know.

Nonetheless, November is kind of a great month for me this year. No its not about my birthday falls in November :p but because as of date, I have received quite a number of new stash supplies! :D

These candies arrived yesterday via the postal mail.

Just as expected, it was from Naddy, a courtesy of Scrapping Chix for my previous winning layout in her SC blog challenge. Feel free to browse thru her online store here. It has a lot to offer!

Many thanks again for the RAK Nad! Love them all! :D

Meanwhile I also received a RAK from Emily as well. This was for her blog candy giveaway previously. I guess I was lucky to have these goodies! drooling time :)

Thanks so much Emily for all the RAK! Absolutely love them all.

...to all for the condolence messages left. Your kindness and sympathy at this time are more appreciated than any words can ever express by the close family of our late uncle.

Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process.
~ Anne Wilson Schaef~

So life goes on.

******************************

Anyway, took these photos last night after I passed on this soo very cute altered door hanger to my DD. Indeed, she was very pleased and extremely happy!! A little warning, this might be a long post.

Thank you Auntie Jazz! ♥

We absolutely loved it! :D

And my sincere thanks to the Wonderful Happy Scrappers for throwing a surprise birthday celebration (in advance) yesterday at Scrapbook Delights crop date! :D You all didn't have to do all this actually...*aisehmen* Haha! Nonetheless I sincerely appreciate the thoughts and efforts made then. I bet its killing you inside to keep this away from me???! I know the (lovely) mastermind behind this.... hehe! *hugs* Thanks my {powerpuff} Girlfriends!

Hehe! Picture this (and can be seen here too). I was really really puzzled by the birthday singing and the cake (YUMMYY CAKE BTW!!!) was actually for me whilst I was having my sweet moment doing some browsing in the inks box! Haha!! Talk about a shopaholic?? Will on to that later. :p

I also finally met Dazzle, Yati, Renee and Sherlene in person. They all were very nice and friendly too. :) And also Nadia ! Yayyss! Akhirnya dia tidak takut sama aku~~ hehehe!! Shes soo cutee, soo adorable, soo pretty in her curly hair! Thankgod I didnt gigit her though. heee

Got few pretty surprises too! Got a couple of custom made explosion boxes (perfect for mini albums!) from Your Sweetness Her Majesty, Poinz! *hugs*

They're soo conveniently pretty Woman! Thank you again! :)

Another surprise was from this sweet girl. In fact she surprised everyone of us. hehe!

Renoa created a mini card for all of us and this is a card for me!! Yayss!! :) Thanks babe! It was a sweet card and lovely notes inside too!

Here is also a LO made from the crop date. We only managed to do one LO though. But this is not just "my" LO, we swapped with others and incorporated the challenge called out by our none other than the talented her.

~* Simply Bloom *~

Every person has their own style. I love the look of this LO as it is especially the cluster of blue flowers tied with a ribbon. And you will not believe this was done by first-timer scrapbooker?? It may looked simple and easy, but I bet it took a lot of effort to even twist and swirled the ribbon.
Amazing work.

************************
Remember this happy post? I finally received a couple of their Random Act of Kindness (RAK) in the end of the croppin date! Yayyss!! Lets see what I got.............. heee

This one yummy package was a winning gift from Scrappin Kids Marathon. It was a See d's Stamp Package! I amm soo loving this! Now got more reasons to do some stamping! And this RAK was sponsored by Scrapbook Delights.

Thank you Scrappin Kids and Scrapbook Delights (Brunei)!
ps. Thankgod she and she didnt manage to steal them away from me... muahahahaha! But we can always share... :)

Meanwhile, this another candies were RAKs from Scrap Inspire Create and Brunei Scrappers Forum for my Mini Pop Up Album. Let the picture speaks for itself. ;)

And not to forget, bought myself some new supplies too since Scrapbook Delights offered 20% to 50% discounts during its Open Day. Pretty much good bargain eh.

All in all, I had so very much FUN hanging out with the awesome regular croppers! Thank yous. We should do this again...but I guess not too soon. More expected surprises are coming in and it will be a very busy time for some of us. ;)

Good night everyone and a little note to self, live life to the fullest!

He will be missed...

2008-11-09T11:44:00.004+08:00

I was intended to blog last night but around 8-ish, DH received a call from mother informing that his uncle was poorly ill and was being treated at the isolation ward, RIPAS Hospital. So we rushed over and everybody was there..... I can sensed the gloomy atmosphere. When we saw the poor man sleeping, lying weakly on the bed with oxygen mask on and all the lifeline equipments, we knew we all should braced ourselves for the worst...

And exactly around 12PM today, DH received a phone call and were told the uncle past away.
Innalillah....

Al-Fatihah.

May the soul rest in peace.
Semoga roh beliau dirahmati Allah jua. Amin ya rabbal alamin.

**EDITED**

I feel a little bit better now after seeing the doctor this morning. However I am still on medication... Sincere thanks to my friends for the well wishes *hugs*

I forgot to share my altered bottle designed for Artz de Scrap October Challenge which I have done two days ago. Originally it was a yogurt drink Bliss plastic bottle. I wanted to create something different like Mr Pumpkin Head or something hallooweeny (muahahah! Yeah we don't celebrate halloween here) but had to think twice. heh. So I kinda did it in the usual way. Using Distress Crackle Paint (antique linen), I brushed off the upper part and let it dry naturally. I just loo♥oovee the effects these crackle paints do!

Wrapped up the middle and lower part with a pink net, a flower chipboard, a string of pearls, a ribbon, a black lace and a mesh wire. Put a vintage image and a pink heart shaped chipboard. Attached an "inspire" sticker to finish the whole process. Voila!

******************************

As notified earlier, I resubmitted a layout to Rough Draft Sketches (Sketch #3). Here's to share:

~* Timeless Cuties *~

Thanks for peeking...

***************************

Oh I just remembered Sasha tagged me a couple of days ago. Before that, I have been always inspired by her work. She has quite impressive resume and is also designing for several brands and some reknown scrapbooking and sketches sites. Go on check out her awesome blog!

Now here's the tagging rule which I cant recall if I ever done this before but perhaps I can do this again :)

(The rules….link your tagger and list these rules on your blog. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.)

1. I may seemed like the innocent quiet type of girl but I have quite a bad temper! I get annoyed easily and burst myself out! But not too worry, that only happens when I am under stress and having the never-ending headaches!

2. I do spring cleaning in our bedroom thrice a year. Yeah just 3 times a year and don't get me started on how often I do the laundry! I do ironing most of the time but not laundry although I prefer doing the laundry rather than ironing! Weird, I know.

3. DH and I haven't gone to the movies for the past years. We have made plans to go and watch at least one movie this month but in the end we changed our mind. Well there aren't any good movies worth my money lately (totally my personal opinion!) but my friends and I already made plans few months back to go and see Madagascar 2. Lets hope we make it this time. Hehs.

4. Although I got broke (especially when it comes to buying SB stuffs!) but there's always a way for me to make some extra dosh...ThankGod! I don't know if its just me, but my friends and I felt when we spent over than the budget for SB shopping, "Oh.. it's okay". But when it comes to buying to our needs like clothings and handbags, we had to think twice whether its worth to spend on something like this and that. *LOL*

5. I am a big fan of horror and scary movies. Then I found out my girl is also keen of watching horrors too! OH Gosh...... She's only two and she already watch these disgusting flicks! Look who's talking... Should I get help?

6. I used to hate anything coffee taste before the birth of my girl. But eversince she was born, I am hooked on to this caffeine beverages until now. I prefer Mocha over Latte though. But for morning breaks, I drink Nescafe (3in1).

7. I am now thinking that I don't really know how to answer this tagging questions as I can't really think on what I should write and state my factual habits. :p

There goes my so-called seven list. Don't know who to tag but feel free to post this in your own blog.

Rushin off to bed now cos i'll be reporting back at work tomorrow! Ciao

SK Marathon Layout - Challenge 5

2008-10-30T00:21:00.004+08:00

I am feeling unwell at the moment which probably due to sleepless nights. Left early at work and had a nap for a while... Somehow, I managed to finish a layout for the next SK Marathon challenge just now although i had this heavy headache and slight fever... :(

Clue #5 was hosted by DT Issa with a little hint of Mr Mojo has returned (aahhh good for her!). She asked to make a 12x12 masculine page and to put a few flourishes, but still to maintain that masculine feel.

~* we are just chillin' out in grandma's garden *~

Supplies used: Fancy Pants, ScribbleScrabble, Ranger Stickels (Icicle & Silver), Buttons, Ribbon, Rusty Pickle Swirl, Alcohol Inks, Distress Crackle Paints, mesh wire, American Crafts Letter Stickers, Making Memories Tiny Alphas and Hambly Prints Kraft Sticker.

Thank u for droppin by.

SK Marathon Layout ~ Challenge 4

2008-10-29T00:35:00.008+08:00

Again, made it to the next round aka Scrappin Kids Marathon Challenge no.4 with the others! I have never been this energetic on creating, designing, thinking, photographing..... within 24 hours, since last Saturday! *hehe*

Anyhoos, the fourth clue was hopping from DT Issa to RD Liza Yet. The challenge this time is to create a Layout with 5 different types OR colours of scrapbook mediums. First let me list out what the mediums I have used in my page:

5 types of Ranger Stickels (Turquoise, Xmas Red, Lime Green, Lavender & Silver), 3 types of DewDrop Brilliance Pigment Inks (Coffee Bean, Galaxy Gold & Pearlscent Orchid), 1 type of Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber (Snow Cap), 2 types of Making Memories Acrylic Liquid (Strawberry Cream & Daiquiri), Ranger Inkssentials Glossy Accents, 1 type of Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint (Antique Linen), Opaque Pen Inkssentials (White), and finally, American Crafts Memory Maker Dual Tip Pen (Black).

So here's my entry:

~* Don't They Looked Oh So Cute.. *~

Dabbing the Pigment Inks (Gold & Orchid) hence that squared effects on top of the ~~tape wire that sticks~~ mesh wire which can also be seen in the page.

Applying those Ranger Stickles where appropriate and lil bit of stamping.

The Mediums Used.

Who cares I used the same picture of my kids over & over! Because they looked soooo good in this shot! Honestly, it is so rare seeing the girl hugging the boy, but exclusively for this shot, they looked soo natural and such a sport!

Appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for lookin! ♥

Layout for SK Marathon ~ 3rd Challenge

2008-10-28T00:28:00.005+08:00

Yes I made to the 3rd round of Scrappin Kids Marathon challenge!

Although I was a few hours behind checking out the clue at 9AM (*hehe* blame it on the work overload!), got home at 6pm, then preparing dinner for the family, and putting my DD to bed, and finally began my scrapping at 10PM... *phew* what a day ya? teehee...

For 3rd clue, the challenge was hosted by Cookie. She challenged us to create a 12 x 12 LO using pattern papers no more than 4 x 4 inches in size!! it can be smaller than 4x4 but definitely not bigger than that!

I just finished creating on this challenge and I feel like this is the first time that I created such a COLOURFUL layout! *haha*. Indeed, it was nice to see all those small pieces of scrap papers I have kept for months, being utilised for something like this! Credit to Cookie for her brilliant idea!

Here's to share my interpretation of playing with little pieces of patterned papers:

~* Color Me Happy *~

Journaling:
Dear Hubby,
Tell me again that black
isn't the only color in the world...
I have never been this happy
ever since I have found millions of colors
inside you my love!!
Thank you for sharing them with me..
xoxo, your wife

a closer look on the surface.

For the heart look, I used a heart shape template which I drew earlier on another 12x12 cardstock. Then I attached the template on my actual cardstock and began patching those scraps PPs (sorry, I can't remember all those PPs manufacturer brands as it was already in pieces). When I have done patching all those PPs, I brushed off some glitter glue on the surface to keep them even. Then I attached all the other elements and did a little touch ups, ensuring that every pieces of PP weren't bigger than a 4x4 size.

Sincerely hope I can pass. now im off to bed.

Thanks for lookin! ♥

Layout for SK ~ 2nd Challenge

2008-10-26T20:20:00.005+08:00

For this round, I am feeling less inspired! Gaaahhhh!! Anyway, I managed to complete the simple look of my LO. The 2nd Challenge for SK Marathon final clue can be found here.

Ka Jasmin needs the scrappers to come up with the MOST CREATIVE PHOTO MATTING EVER in our scrapbook layout. We are not to use the usual cardstock matting. But nevertheless the use of cardstock is allowed but must be used in the MOST CREATIVE WAY.

So here's my outcome layout:

~* My Blossom Girl *~

A closer look on the matted photos.

First I glued a bluish crepe paper on the PP. Cut off the excessive crepe papers. Painted on its surface with Tea Dye Distress Crackle Paint. After it dries and cracked, painted over it with MM Strawberry & Cream Acrylic Paint followed by dabbing some Adirondack Pearl Acrylic Paint around the crepe paper. Later on I attached a flexible craft wire (Sorry, I still don't know the real term for it) on the painted surface. Glued a paper doyle which I have sprayed some Red Velvet Glimmer Mist, on top of the craft wire. Finally I glued the photos on top of my so-called "photo matting" and brushed off some Strawberry & Cream paint around the photos to create a frame.

Hope it can pass. sigh.

Can't wait for the 3rd Clue tomorrow!!

Thanks for lookin! ♥

Sharing Some Layouts {SK & RDS}

2008-10-25T23:45:00.009+08:00

**Edited**

{SK}

As I have mentioned in here earlier, all the SK marathon participants have found the first challenge clue in one of the SK DT ;D

~* Happy Wear *~

Journaling:
"The smile makes sense when
everytime you wear this
pink dress with net frock
we knew its your favourite dress...
and its mama's favourite dress too
cos you looked sooo happy in it."

I wasn't able to go out and develop a picture of my favourite outfit as it was raining heavily all day and my printer ran out of color inks! *blah* As such, I had to use an image of DD in her fav dress (you know which dress...*hehehe*) Yes, that pink smocking dress that she really loves (and mama too!!) :)

AND

{RDS}

Gorgeous Credits to Rough Draft Sketches (Sketch #3 by Zoe) for the above page. Will create a fresh page for RDS very soon.

Then I also created a layout based on RDS Sketch #2.

(image is upside down)

~* Whoo luvs you? *~

Notice the red glimmer mists on the paper? Sprayed on the surface with Red Velvet and a lil bit of Tiger Lily. Masked it with a couple of paper doyles. I also painted the white cardstock scalloped frame some crackle paints in green. It was fun fun doing this. hehs.

********************************************

And oh not to forget this previous page for SK "Celebrate" October Challenge.
I chose challenge #13 - Splashy August.

Rough Draft Sketch #1

2008-10-19T15:50:00.005+08:00

**EDITED**

Forgot to post this. A page for Rough Draft Sketches based on a sketch no. 1 by their wonderful DT, Jemma.

I used the PP from Webster's Pages. Its been some time already in my paper stacks and felt guilty seeing this wonderful PP by Terri Conrad just lying around...

~* playing princess *~

DD loves this smocking dress so much. It makes her felt so much like a princess.
She called this dress a fairy dress.

Heh, kids!

Oh forgot to mention that my page on the pink corrugated cardboard is based on Ed's Sketch Got Stamps? October sketch. The challenge is still on til month end and we will be happy if you are joining us too!!

Why wait? Start scrapping now! teeheeeee :)

2008-10-11T19:29:00.011+08:00

**EDITED**

DH is back.... wheee! Yeah it was only a two days trip and yet DD kept asking for him.. I guess she's not used to have a night sleep without her dad around (and Ed, I don't know how you did it but I truly respect your courage and spirit for being the amazing mother and loyal wife! *HuGs*)

Anyway, while DH was away, I made myself busy with some scrappy projects. This LO is for Groovie {Create} October Challenge entitled Go PINK. This is in support of Breast Cancer Awareness which falls in October. So for this challenge, it must include anything PINK on the LO.

~* precious *~

My latest craze now is the crackle paints! I just bought some crackle paints from B yesterday. Thanks for bringing them in B! Dont forget our HOT and HEATy deal ;)

2008-10-10T01:22:00.009+08:00

(N.B. this is my 100th post!)

And the subtraction why...?

DH is currently outstationed till the weekend. This is his first time away from DD. Earlier we sent DH to airport. Had dinner together before he boarded the plane. When DH told DD that he got to go, DD said, "*I want to go with you babah (dad)..." and hugged DH tightly. Somehow DD lets DH go after few seconds of hugging... *aawwww* Before DH left our table, DD kissed goodbye and said, "*Take care babah.....".

Man! Hearing that sure made my heart melt and I bet DH too. DD is such an angel... ♥

*Translated from Bruneian Malay to English.

******************************

The Lovelies paid me a visit just now. As I didn't prepared and cooked something special for them, they requested a Teh Tarik instead. Frankly I am not really good at making teh tarik but thankfully it turned out okay *haha* because The Lovelies said "nyaman! nyaman! (yummy!)" but...... they sounded FAKE! LOL! just kiddin.

Thanks for dropping by my place Lovelies! *HUGS*

******************************

Yay! Finally half of my groove is back!! Thanks to the Groovie Girls at the Groovie Cafe for sharing the inspiration and made me step out of my comfy zone!

First I did the October Card Challenge; to include Pink & Green as the main color for a Thank You card, hosted by Stephanie.

Believe it or not, I made this card in the wee of 1.00 AM! A side effect of taking a mug of caffeines in the earlier evening.

Then I created this LO based on a book cover featuring Anthony Bourdain. This was hosted by Groovie Ed.

~* shy shy girl *~

Apparently as I was the first one to post my LO, Sophia Soh is also giving away her RAK for the first poster. weeheeee!! Thanks so much Sophia!! :)

***********************

Oh yeah. I was checking my mails in the office.. and thrilled to find out that Michelle of M'sian Scrappers Society has informed that she will feature my Purse Album (and it is also a winning purse at Artz de Scrap September Challenge!! weeheee!!) in her blog. It was an honour and I am indeed delighted to share the purse album with others.

Thanks Michelle B! :)

Meanwhile, my Rough IT SK Beyond kit has safely reached me!! Ecstatic is the word!! Cant wait to play with IT. Its really a CUTE pack of kit!

Thanks SK Beyond and Wati B. for your prompt action! :)

ohhh... i am freakishly tired. rushing off to bed now. Pls note this post isn't done yet. will update again later. i have something to share :)

ps. whoaa this post is much brief than i thought.

Capture the moment

2008-10-06T02:09:00.004+08:00

Its past midnight. I am still up. Must be the cappuccino i had earlier. Wanted to do some scrappy stuffs but too tired to move. Had a loooong day today as more relatives came over for a visit. I browsed thru to some of my favorite arty sites to light up some mojos. Excitement struck and i was certainly being inspired. Unfortunately that only lasted for few seconds. What a heartbreak. LOL!

Anyone ever been in such a situation??? :)

To those who shares the similar situation, here's a digital scrapbook page to start you up. Yeahh, only managed to scrap a digi! hehehe...

~* capture the moment *~

Picture of myself with my toy.
Love this baby although I was initially thinking to replace it with a 450D! :D
Kits are from Shabby Princess and some random elements of past kits from digitalfreebies.

Thanks for lookin! ♥

Eid in October

2008-10-03T11:54:00.011+08:00

Know what? I missed to scrap!! I want to scrap!! heheh... Yeah........ but with all the festivities we're having right now, i might just have to hold it back for a while. Its a second day of Hari Raya here in Brunei whilst some countries are already in their 3rd day. Good news, the bank will be close this Saturday which means we so-called bankers don't have to come to work!! wuhoooo!! :D (I guess I'll find a way to scrap in between...)

Ed's Sketch Got Stamps? October Sketch Challenge is out! Have a go on it peeps but ensure that you have a stamp journaling on your layout.

Family keeps me alive..

2008-09-29T00:11:00.012+08:00

Went to my sister's place today in K.B. Intended to celebrate my nephew's belated birthday (falls on 25th Sept.) after the Iftaar. Finally, I get to see them babies!!! Its been a week I didn't see them and that feels like a thousand years?? hehe.. As Hari Raya is just around the corner, and my sister wont be around on raya as she will be working on shifts (shucks!), I will see them babies even less now...*sigh* Looks like we have to travel one hour plus to see them instead.

Oh, also my sister requested to take a family photoshoot around their crib as well. Now this part, I must applaud to all photogs that works really well with the kids. Yes, Its really hard to keep the kids stay still, especially for a family portait.. LOL!

On a scrapbook related, didn't do much lately. I guess I'm plain lost it again. Nonetheless, here's something to share for ScrappingChix 1st Challenge. Quite simple, you just have to use up all your old & current stash (no new supplies) and create something out of it.

~* an accompanying gift for DN *~

Okay I have more layouts and an album to share but gotta rush now!

Scrapping Inspirations Doodlings

2008-09-23T23:01:00.004+08:00

I was moved to create for a doodling layout in this blog. Never done this before, especially when almost 80% of your page are nothing but doodling!

As my drawing supplies are limited (and as much as I want to own that Zig Chalk marker set hehe), instead I used a black wood lead colored pencils on most of my LO. The colored pencils are ideal for drawings too. I even dipped the colored pencils in water and so it created that wet kind of look.

First I drew the tree, its branches and the leaves (free hand drawings). Then I used a chipboard swirl (FancyPants) as a template to create that swirly frame with a lead pencil. Makes my life easier heheh! Then I sprayed some glimmer mists on the page to add little colors as a background effect. Let it dry for several minutes (dries faster if you have a heat gun!). After it dries, I colored around the swirly frames with green lime, dipped it in liquid (h2o) as I colored along it. Applied stickles and the letter stickers.

and voila!
its not that perfect, but i'm glad i did this.

Supplies: Cardstock, Colored Pencils (blackwood lead), little amount of water, swirly chipboard (frame template), Tattered Angels Glimmer mists, Glitter Stickles, American Crafts Letter stickers and Pink Paislee Letter Stickers.

Thanks for lookin! ♥

************************

Oh yeah I got selected as one of the DT in Ed's Sketch, Got Stamp? challenge blog. Do check back next month for another exciting challenge especially to stamperholics! :)

However I had to stop at 2nd page as i was having some relatives over. And so here I am back to square one.... So sad to see all the stack of PPs, stickers, chipboards, and such waiting for me to play with. And now a new stocks coming in.....huhu. Im lost for words. :P

Transformed a Prima tin into a mini gift like this (see picture). My best friend was having a birthday sometime last month so I wanted to create something memorable for her. Lying next to it was a blank CD which I altered it into an accompanying "birthday card". It was just a simple gift. Glad to know she likes it.... ;) ♥ ♥ ♥

Now I gotta get ready hit the shower! I am Working today...ugh

Happy Birthday to my lovely wonderful beautiful mother today! ♥

Still slowing down....and worst!

slowing down..

2008-09-12T23:38:00.008+08:00

I almost forgot that I owed a page for SK mini challenge forum hosted by Issa. The challenge was chipboards galore which means our layout must have chipboards and should have at least three kinds of techniques used on those chipboards.

Here's my simple entry. Piccie of my little nephew taken a few months back. He's such a deary and a close friend to 'Alya!

~* one,two, smile *~

I didn't have the naked chipboards, so i used other 'fancy' chipboards. I applied stickles, wrapped one with a ribbon, inkings, glossy accents and crackle accents. Hope it counts!

************************

i gotta rest. my head's killin me.

Hi!

2008-09-10T23:12:00.007+08:00

This is just a quick post, sharing a layout made for Black Magic september sketch 1 challenge. Its a first time entry though since the rule of their challenge is to use 'black' as the predominant color. If you may realise, i tend to use black for most of my pages.

~* dream team *~

Supplies: Luxe, Urban Lily, ki Lace, MM flower, Prima flower, s.e.i Frame, K&Co Urban Rhapsody, Papier Glitter and AC Thickers.

Although i know i should start working on my mini popup album (which is still halfway to go!) and another page for SK forum (ack!), may be i can start working on them by tomorrow. Gotta go and get some rest as my eyes have been really tired since this afternoon.....a side effect from all those sleepless nights!

Thanks for lookin!! ♥

oh what a day!

2008-09-08T23:49:00.008+08:00

Today is really something.

Firstly, I didn't feel like going off to work. I slept for 2 hours only. Totally a sleepless night and that i have panda eyes! To make things worst and perhaps to test my inner patience during this holy Ramadhan, came across a few annoying people, callers and drivers on the road that could almost get us registered into the Brunei's accident statistic!! ARGHH!!

Secondly, I misplaced some important receipts for my account reconciliation........... hmm.

Thirdly, I am supposed to join the others for an online crop earlier tonight.....but something baaaaadd.......something truly unexpected came up and so they had to start without me. sheeeshh! :(

Anyhow I managed to create one challenge for Artz de Scrap Purse Album Challenge (tutorial made by Michelle). It was so fun making this album and plus it looks girly. Perfect fits for all girls/woman/ladies!

I have yet to embellish the inside album, so watch this space.

Further, I am still in the midst of completing the Mini Pop-Up Album which we have done during the Brunei Scrappers Online tutorial last Saturday hosted by Ka Jazz. Deadline is coming soon, so i gotta rush.......!!

Oh got an awesome award from three lovely ladies Yatie, Mimiey of the Babehs and Alin of the Scrappin Sisters recently. Thanks so much ladies!!

Rules for this (as usual...)

(1) The winner can put the logo on their blog.
(2) Link the person you received your award from.
(3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
(4) Put links of those on yours.
(5) Leave a message on the blogs of the girls or boys you’ve nominated.

Now since it said at least 7 other blogs, here are my nominees:-

Ya huh...16 bloggers all! hhehehe! really feel like in the award giving spirit.

Thanks for lookin!! ♥

Got picked, again!

2008-09-04T07:00:00.004+08:00

I am so happy!! My Thankful album got picked again, second time in a row for Mod Challenge at SnC! woohoooo!! :D

Truly didnt expect this! If it hadn't for Renoa's shout out, I would have not known. Thanks babe ♥ !

Thanks to Mich and other awesome ladies in the forum. Really made my day today! *HUGS*

Later! ♥

Guess what's new at ScrapInspireCreate a.k.a SIC??

Yes its a new challenge!! New challenge at SIC for the whooooollleeee month of September, the holy month of Ramadhan.

Since its {Embellishments Galore} theme, I have created a layout with my faaaavorite embellies! Here's what I have made:

~* Create Friends *~

Main picture of the SIC crews was taken from the 1st SIC Crop Party in June which was a blast!! Too bad Nadia couldn't be there. So I kinda made that "white woman" made from felt to fill in the missing Nadia... Hope you don't mind Nad! ;)

Papers are from Pink Paislee Office Lingo Collection which I found it to be sooo darn cute! hehe!! Really fancy the colors they have in this collection!! So vibrant! So me!! hhehehe!!

So dont forget to join SIC September {Embellies Galore} Challengethis time. Yummy RAKs are waiting for you to claim its immediate ownership! heheh

To this extent, I wish to say Selamat Berpuasa (Happy Fasting) to all Muslims around the world and may our Ramadhan be blessed by Allah the Almighty.

Thanks for lookin! ♥

Memorable Ending

2008-08-31T18:25:00.003+08:00

Ramadhan is just around the corner, and probably at this time Im typing this post, the Religious Affairs staffs are making themselves busy for the moon sighting session.

Artz de Scrap Felt Creativity

2008-08-29T21:47:00.010+08:00

Miss Mojo has been flowing a lot lately and I'm l♥ving it!

I bought some felts last month and never touch them since then.... but not until today.

~* the 6x6 felts *~

As Artz De Scrap is having altered felt creativity challenge going on for the whole of August, I decided to make something.

So I made these two......

~* a mini book / album *~

and

~* a handphone case *~

Of course there are still some flaws on them... but I think I did just fine, I hope! hehhe!!

Here's a closer look of the mini book/album. Subject matter is on my lil' girl heheh... :)

I really hope my creations fit the challenge needs.

Thanks for looking! ♥

SnC's Thankful Challenge

2008-08-28T14:54:00.004+08:00

*Edited

I wish to share SnC's MOD Challenge #4 with the theme of "Thankful". I made a 6 pages mini accordion album which I have learned to create it from scratch with Jazz few weeks ago and together with the other regular scrappers. It was kinda addicted making this type of album cos its super easy! :)

~* a summary view of the album *~

~~Will list out the journals later if I got the time.~~

2nd Page ~ is what i'm now

"Miracle of Life"

Journaling:
Dear Mother, My Beloved Mother,
Your arms were always open when I needed a hug,
Your hearts understood when i needed a friend,
Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson,
Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly.
~ Sarah Malin ~

We were asked to create our own sketch and fulfilled them. Here's my piece:

here's the sketch:

Ive seen the rest of the crews and the designer guest, all were superb and pretty! Its quite easy so why dont you create your own. :)

Have fun!! ♥

The day so far..

2008-07-30T08:33:00.005+08:00

What makes a scrapbooker happy??

A super new stash collection of course! LOL! My cousin HS bought me all this at Lincraft. She also went ‘crazy’ browsing thru all the scrapping stuffs on the store shelves despite she’s not a scrapbook person. Hehe! Thanks sooo much sis! Have a safe trip back to Oz later.

♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Before that, to all Muslims in Brunei and around the world, Selamat Menyambut Hari Isra' Me'raj 1429H. Its a public holiday in Brunei right now and so i am enjoying my day so far.

Hey I finally done a 12x12 layout for Scrappin Kids Forum hosted by Liza Yet on Mini birthday challenge. I used a simple multi photo layout. Paper is from Urban Lily which I have some parts painted in lime green. Put some stickles ♥ along the plain swirls and its ready to go. :)

Images from DD's 2nd birthday bash at our crib.

By the way, Scrap Inspire Create July Birthday Challenge is almost over and there will be another exciting challenge in August. Here's my sneaky look for SIC's August challenge :)

TFL!

I am a PAPER!

2008-07-27T21:35:00.007+08:00

Its been raining today since this afternoon. We intended to watch X-Files the movie earlier in the 10 am breakfast show but somehow my head was spinning so mad! Another slight migraine I guess…

Oh yesterday, we had super fun at her place for Anythin Scrappin session. Well I only wanted to do some shopping and so didn’t bring my tools along. But she (bigsis) insisted that I should scrap! Teeheee… so I did. I scrapped her pic but mojo wasn’t really friendly. I realllly hope she likes it though. Sorry didn’t take any photo of it. We also celebrated her birthday a day in advance. She brought an ice cream cake for birthday lady which was really good and we really enjoyed the food she has prepared for us.

Happy Birthday again Ka Jazz!!

Meanwhile birthday lady also tagged me on this quiz relatively about What Scrapbooking Item Are You.

Surprisingly I am a PAPER!

You are PAPER!
You are an all natural basic person who likes to act as a foundation to others. You are willing to take a backseat in most of your relationships and let others take the spotlight, while you show your support and help them shine! Underneath it all, you are the one who makes it all happen. You are the focus and stability in any group, even if you are not the leader. Others look to you to set the pace and provide ideas for ways to get things done. But Paper Beware - sometimes you get a little edgy with the people who look to you for support and can give them some papercut remarks that can hurt their feelings. Remember to watch what you say, because you are best when leading by example.

********************************

I made a (sort of) door hanger for a friend's newborn grandson. It was a last minute thing. Did a simple one. Used lot of inkings and cut out dinos from BasicGrey PP. embellished it with some buttons, stickles ♥ and a single paper doilies. Also tried masking the doilies using a chipboard alpha and blended it with the chalk ink. super cool! must try again this technique!

TFL!

Little updates...huhu

2008-07-23T17:54:00.010+08:00

I took a half day off at work early today. Thought I spend a quality time with my DD but just after we sent DH off to work after lunch, she dozed off taking her nap instead. Uh...then I moved on myself to scrap something since in the mood to.

I created below LO based on Pencil Lines Sketch 94. Had fun doing this sketch although I started slow. hehee!

"Cool Shades"

Journaling:
Baby look @ you wearing mama's shades
and acted like a certain celebrity whereas
the real truth you were feeling feverish and unwell!
Oh well.. nothing can stop you for being
a cute poser, like always!

I have this photo of DD in her fairy princess dress and decided to scrapbook it. Papers are from Amanda Blu. Isnt it cute? Perfect theme for a fairy look. I used stickles a lot cos im all over that glitter glue now! Also I stitched the so-called clouds, painted it in blue and applied glossy accents. This is my first time using several techniques in a LO. So that explains the messiness! LOL!

Meanwhile I submitted this LO for Scrap-n-Crop forum Mod Challenge No. 3, to simply scrap about "Uniquely You". Again, I used DD's photo.

{you}

Journaling:
Whatever you do, whatever you say
I can't find a certain specific unique about yourself because
whatever you be, you are simply
UNIQUE in your very own way.

TFL!

*******************************

Meanwhile I got this Kreativ Blogger award from Hani. How cool is that?? heheeh!! I don't see myself as creative but i really appreciate if somebody thinks I am. Thank you Hani! Really made my day :)

1. The winner may put the logo on her blog.

Inspiring patterns

2008-07-22T16:52:00.004+08:00

*Edited*

I came across this print & pattern blog today. I like how the author, known as bowie style narrated her passion towards patterns and colors of almost about everything captured from almost around the world! I love all the patterns she has shown in her blog and very much drooling over the stuffs. It inspired one and would change a certain vibes from temperamental to ecstatic! Check it out yourself.

In the meantime, a little reminder for Scrap Inspire Create. The July Birthday Challenge submission is still on. What are you waiting for?? Go dig those birthday picture(s), Get ready with all your scrapbook stash and starrrrtttt Scrapping! It can be just about any type of form; from layouts to mini albums, as long the theme is {Birthdays}. I hope you have fun!

Also this come a little late. Just wanna extend again my appreciation to Ka Jazz for hosting such memorable 1st Crop Party last month. Not only we had a countless fun but she also had the courtesy to prepare the goody bags! Thanks again ka Jazz!! :)

The goodies consisted of few chipboards, a ribbon, flowers, tag sticker and a custom made album. Cant wait to use this!

TFR!

thee love thou

2008-07-16T23:47:00.013+08:00

A quick post. Finally done with my mother's request to create two layouts for her close friends. Have them in frames and mother personally picked them up at the frame store.

For both LO, I used the Urban Lily's PP bought from SC. Totally adoreeeee the patterns! Looks so fresh and summer feel!! ♥

Meanwhile, Alin and Mac really made me one happy girl today! They got me 2 beautiful PPs from KCK Craft and Around the Block Tiny Type Alphas which are absolutely cute!! hehehe!! Really didn't expect they bought them for me but I guess the guiltiness resulted the action! LOL! Suffice to say, another one reason I am reaaaally glad I have you both in my never ending circle of friends for life. :)

thanks gals!

Till next post.... in the meantime, do check out www.kadaiku.com and tell me what you think. huhu.......ssshhhh its DH's biz site!

Just feeling a sudden creative-ness!

2008-07-12T22:46:00.008+08:00

Since last week, i have been in a rut.......feeling mojoless........ and too tired to scrap. Somehow, i was "forced" to finish what i still owed other people, otherwise my customers. heee!

A sneaky couple of images from a mini album ( my little shoebox album manufacturer) requested by a friend for her DH's bday gift. All images of his favs Kois'! They bred a very beautiful Japanese Kois.

An accompanying greeting card for her DH.

And I had to start completing two different layouts for my mother's two bestfriends which she needs them by next week. Almost finish now....... *phew* I was doing creative things since 4 pm today until almost 10 PM. I started a bit slow, but few hours later, my mojo was being good to me. LOL! At the same time, I was giving tutorial for beginners; my two younger sisters aged 26 and 11 respectively.

My sister was doing a 12x12 layout for her colleague with a Love theme. She was still doing half way though. Whilst my little sister was a natural. She did 90% all by herself. Here are the two layouts done by my little sis.

Not too bad right? I am so proud of her!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Having a Birthday?

2008-07-05T20:36:00.006+08:00

My e-speed connection is being kind to me tonight. For the past few days, it had been super crappy especially at night! Reaaallly frustrated lah!

Anyway, do check Scrap.Inspire.Create July Challenge. Theme for this month is {Birthdays}. Easy peasy eh?

I created a box-like especially for DH whose birthday falls on 29th July! :)
Okay, it was supposed to be a "birthday cake" (instead of just a box) but couldn't find a round figure as a base, so i simply used this rectangle box. Go figure! hehehe! Nevertheless, as to date, i did my best to hide this "extraordinary mystery gift" from him. Just hope he won't read my blog here! LOL!! Naaahh...will just buy real gift for him. He doesn't really fancy these kind of stuffs although i did created an altered frame with our wedding picture and insisted him to put it in his workstation! LOL! LOL!

the "cake"

gonna put a little image of DH on the {noteworthy} transparency tag

Oh, I have incorporated some of the supplies from CupCakes Scrapshop April's Kit. Yeaahh it was really a delay hehehe!

Do play along on the SIC July Challenge peeps! Its not just limited to layouts. You can make a mini album, a tag, etc etc as long as the theme remains the same.

Have a safe week!

Sunday's notes

2008-06-30T23:15:00.009+08:00

Oh gosh!! I didn't manage to join Scrap n Crop's online crop forum last night. Didn't do it on purpose. Got something came up yesterday... Two of my granny's close relatives past away. Families attended two funerals in the morning and later in the evening respectively...tell me how would that makes you feel.... Al Fatihah.

*********************************************************

Anyway somewhere in lunch hour, we dropped by at my sister's place in KB. It was an one hour journey from BSB. All this, just to hug my niece and nephew!! GOD...i sooo missed them heaps!! to the maximum!! Its been a month i didn't see them. Their mommy works shift hours so Sundays normally is her working shift.

As requested by my buddies, here's the random shots of my three babies!! plus my sister and her DH who initially requested for a family potrait studio-like. But since i am just an amateur and without a proper lens and speed flash, my shots didnt turn pretty! *ahaks* BUT those people in the pictures are adorably precious! ♥
Yeah you may notice the family pictures looked similar but check out the
faces of the little babies ♥.

~an unedited version~

AWESOME PARTY UPDATED!

The coverage to the recent SIC Crop Party click here, and it will lead you to here and here.

It was Bank's Half Year Closing for today but our bank was given an off day. Tomorrow is gonna be super busy! I bumped my forehead this afternoon on the shoes rack. At first I didnt feel anything just a a tiny little pain on the bump. SOmehow I feel dizzy.... like right now!!

SHould stop and sleep. See ya peeps!

Bombs of fun!

2008-06-29T07:56:00.003+08:00

It was the most memorable event! The SIC Crop Party was like an explosion of fun bombs! It seems everyone has updated their blog. I noticed this lady updated as soon as the party ended. Super fast! hehe... Too bad I didn't take any pictures but there were two photogs there who would captured zillions of potraits and candid shots! heheh..! As mentioned by Ka Jazz in her blog, cant wait of pics from him and him!

And of course, I wish to extend my personal appreciation to Ka Jazz, the SIC crews and the wonderful scrappers! I feel so lucky to have the chance to meet all of you! Thank youS! :")

Something came up, will update laters

Feel

2008-06-24T21:06:00.004+08:00

....L to the A to the Z to the Y! :)

Posting a finished layout (I think!) resulted from the SK forum scrap swaps Alin gave previously. After sometime for not creating 12x12, I found this one challenging indeed!

"Dream"
Photo courtesy of MrA. Thank you :)

Nevertheless, it was fun doing this. made me think out of the box. hehe

Counting the days..................

Announcement

2008-06-17T23:06:00.005+08:00

Did you know there's a Croppers Party coming soon?

Check out the blog.

I hardly cant wait!!
Super excited despite the current internet connection is sluggishly crap!!

Come come register yourself in :)

Simply wonderful.

2008-06-15T14:57:00.007+08:00

For this beautiful Father's Day, I spent some time cooking for DH (Note that I am a terrible cook!) a couple of home-made dishes and he enjoyed them without a single complain! :) Thankheaven for canned food! *heee*

I realised that I rarely create a LO for my DH. Its always my DD or others but not DH. I should have start to make my own family's album!! Still owe myself that! sigh. Nonetheless, I did a LO just now using my existing freebis digikits.

I used the PageMaps June sketch this time.

To my DH and my DF, Have a wonderful day dearest.

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik

I noted that Iza tagged me previously. Will get back on that soon ya... Now I am still cleaning up my scrap area...its quite an eyesore if you dont really have a proper organisation. Take a look at what my area lookie likey now....

Moving on

2008-06-12T18:36:00.005+08:00

I wish to extend my sincere thanks and appreciations to sweet friends who left comments in this hug post. I know some of you weren't after the RAK but your words definitely made my friend (and me!) felt appreciated and relieved. Although we might faced different situation/scenario but the feeling remains mutual...we healed and move on.

As such, I have decided to give those RAK to her {big sis}, being the hurt friend I've mentioned in my post. Hope that make her day......... :) Scrap away now babe and forget the past! *hee*

Did this tag for my lil sister. shes been nagging on me about making this for weeks!! huhu...finally gave her on her birthday. she was absolutely excited. now, kids do appreciate the little things in their life......

Okay, i am totally drooling over October Afternoon.......... sigh

C-Box Replies:

Poinz: Sorry that made you "scared" with my SC post reviously...but thats what a scrapbooker life must face..*haha*

She: What unique about scrapbook is, you are allowed to "borrow" other scrappers stash and some of us dont even mind! For a brief scrapbook beginner's guide, you dont have to shop til you drop, just buy some basic tools and youre on the SCRAP! :) An addiction only applies to create more layouts and albums. Shopping is just a bonus *ahaks*

Hany: anytime babe! :)

Foxyzzz: LOL! I am also very much surprised ka an! and i also dont even get one stamp! huhu...

Alin: woohooo!! congrats 2 u 2 babe! and we must create more layouts this month!!

Laters!

Back to square one!

2008-06-09T18:19:00.004+08:00

Yup!

Now got more time to finish what i have left out! more layouts to do, more mini albums to be done, more stash to organise... But maybe i need to re-charge myself first. Feeling really tired after the whole tourney yesterday....

Oh, here's what i have received from {big sis} for our scrap swap in scrappin kids forum. we need to do a layout using all the stash that we have received from our swap partner and the finish product must be posted by 15 june.

better start working with them now......

Temptations killed

2008-06-07T15:08:00.009+08:00

We have been very bad at inventing rules. I guess rules made to be broken lol!

Right! We trios kept saying over and over not to do any stash shopping for this month. I managed to hold up my cravings then but not until yesterday-We dropped by at SC! Their recent new arrivals were almost gone but we have been informed that their next new arrivals are coming in by today! aiiyaiiyaiiyaiiiyaiiii~~ I may be safe to say that I can resist anything but temptations. LOL!

It is so fortunate that this time I only bought some necessary supplies from Rangers. Cool! Cant wait to do the next project! Maybe after tomorrow's tourney. Wish me luck guys!! So that we can win that cool Nike bags! :)

Here are the replies to my fellow cbox-ians:

Ka Jazz: Thanks ka J! All thanks to my cooperatively sweet models. Alin can be crowned as Runway Mom :)

Alin: Okay okay my runway mom model, L♥VE it is the perfect word. hugs babe! :)

Panda: Thanks Jess! No haven't started my Cupcakes kit yet.....been busy with life and sports ECA. Perhaps next week. I hope you also subscribed to them cupcakes too :)

Din: Bah Ka Din, will do yours next! ahaks! Thanks sweetie :)

and lastly,

Hany: Hehe you found me babe! Well scrapbooking is super duper fun. The feeling is really indescribable but since i knew about scrapbook, i never looked back. Its everything from the fun shopping, the feeling when you've completed your layout or mini albums (this is more fun if you do an album for your kids! *wink*), the new wonderful friends you've made as there is no stranger in scrapbook world (right girls?) and most precious is with scrapbook, you make regular photos more interesting with their own special stories in it. Mmm...i want to say more though but I will help you out if you are thinking about joining us. Do let me know if you ever change your mind ya! :)

Have a safe weekend!

Love

2008-06-05T10:33:00.006+08:00

2008-06-02T01:29:00.013+08:00

Super hectic. I was supposed to attend the SIC Get2Gether on two different dates but it was so unfortunate that had to skip the sessions. Saturday was the busiest day as it was a public holiday in Brunei due to the RBAF's Anniversary and i had to attend to 2 different functions. And it continues till Sunday...... *phew*

Also later in the Sunday afternoon, DD was invited to a birthday party of Abang Afiq. It was a costume party. DD was really excited playing dress up as a fairy princess.

with her magic wand.. *winkk*

some of the kids in their awesome costumes!
Afiq in his pirate attire! Cutee

DD was crowned as runner-up in best dress costume! wheeee! thanks to auntie Alin and family! :)

Need a Hug?

2008-05-28T21:25:00.012+08:00

Edited cos just realised something is too private hehe*

Today was kind of heart breaking for my close friend.....Dont want to say what happen actually but it involves selfishness and betrayal! I feel for her and now I am also feeling low.

Chill babe ya! I will always be there for you...... What are friends for :) I think she need a hug.

At the same time, I am feeeeling so so nervous. Will involve in a netball tournament next Sunday and I am already feeling weak in the knees! *gulp*

Havent done any layouts or crafty stuffs since last week, but got 2 mini albums to be done by this coming June!! I wanted to start soon but time has been tight lately........sigh. Tired lah.

Anyway, if you people got some great words or encouragement for my friend (mentioned above), I will be please if you share them with me. And I also need to do some kind act. Just a sincere humble RAK from me. Well partly i just realised that i have quite a lot of scrapbook stash that i need to giveaway......Ive already given some to my friends, so im gonna give some bits and pieces to my blog readers. Tell me how you cope with heart ~~broken~~ break?

You have until 8th June 2008 by the way.

Thank you for reading this. Now i really need a hug....... :)

Unproductive minus Un.

2008-05-25T19:46:00.003+08:00

Ohh its just one of those days when you are feeling unproductive. I have been a lazy bum lately. Not doing a single layout or other crafty stuffs since the last crop date at SBD together with some great scrapping friends! Oh miss you gals........

However, managed to produce a couple of handmade birthday presents for a friend. She was having her grand party at Indera Kayangan last night and it was a blast especially the Drag Show! Sort of hilarious though as I just cant stop laughing how the drag queens imitated some of the famous celebs like Geri Halliwell, Mulan Jameela and Rihanna! :D

hope she likes 'em...

Also done this using Stuck Sketches #38.

'Alya's {playtime} with Barney & friends

Meanwhile, Mac and I managed to drop by at SBD Ka J this morning and spent! Cant help drooling over B&B wood crafts but I have a very tight budget at the moment... and due to this, some of us decided to join the no-sb-shopping for a period of time club! *haha* BUT yeah seriously we gonna start doing that this June! Well just give it a month torture aights. LOL!

lovee loveee!!

a PP RAK from Mac.. thanks so much babe! :D

and a mini RAK from Wati for the Introduction SK Forum.
Thanks so much babe! :D

Pandachu tagged me to post 6 unimportant facts about myself...... hmmm thanks for got me thinking Panda! hee hee...

1. I love ice lemon tea A LOT!
2. I hate decision making for myself but sometimes working as a personal assistant makes me deciding on behalf of the boss!
3. I dislike house lizard or any squiggly things! ewww
4. I cannot stand people who cut queues especially if its my turn. I'd rather poke him/her on the shoulder and said "Hey queue up like everybody else lahh!"
5. I seem to be the quiet type but can be bubbly among some close friends.
6. I had a c-section for my first baby and the stitches still painful...... ouch!

Now I am tagging this to Alin, Mac, Poinz, Dina, Renoa & Anna!! Have fun girlss! *heeeeeee*

Had a family function earlier and m still bloated from all the refreshments and junk snacks.....LOL!

Take care and TFL :)

another rambling

2008-05-18T14:09:00.005+08:00

...please dont go away. nyehehehe!

whoaaa....we had a small crop session again yesterday and this time at Ka Jazz crib. As usual, Renoa (who is yet to create her blog! hehe!!) and myself were the early birds as session supposed to start at 2pm. We browsed through her stocks again but i tried so hard not to spend so much as i am awaiting for her next arrivals next week! yeay!! Go here for updates.

We were supposed to have 3 challenges but due to time restraint, there were only 2 challenges *PHEW*. 1st challenge was to revamp a little ordinary notebook cover. 2nd challenge was to produce a layout but using pictures of the next person sitting to us. So i had to do Renoa's while Mac had to do mine. It was super fun plus nervous trying to catch up the time! We had a big laughed when one of us blurted out "I do I do" as "edo edo". I presumed the migraine effect she had earlier..hehe!! :)

Here's a couple of images from my creations yesterday.

pardon of the qualities as i was using my HP cam only yesterday.

oh the winners from yesterday were Alin for 1st challenge and Mac for 2nd Challenge! Way to goo girlss!!

TFL :)

Another lazy Monday morning. Stayed up late last night editing and compiling images of my uncle’s house renovation works taken earlier during the day. While doing that, I also sent along a scrapbook of his kids in their themed face painting taken during last Easter in Brunei Hall. They’ve grown up so fast after almost 8 months they’ve left Brunei!

Credits to the free digital freebies from Doreen Stolz and Spring Romantic.

watch this space. Celebrate Mothers.

SK DarNesT Challenge #8

2008-05-08T23:46:00.004+08:00

Seriously, my creative juice has been low lately! I surely hope this isn't gonna be the end............ :(

Did a layout for SK Darnest Challenge #8. Like any other two year old, my DD has this tendency to say what she wants, be it realistic or seriously nonsense! LOL! There was this once happened when my DB lost his car key. The main suspect was my DD who was playing with it earlier. When we tried to "interrogate" her, she was in denial and gave all sorts of excuses. But one of her response was totally hilarious.

Us: Where did you hide the keys?

She: “Cicak ambil!” (the house lizard took it!)

Us: LOL!

Frankly, we didn't see that coming!

Here's my entry:

Sincere thanks to SK for holding this cute challenge! :D

Busy weekend

2008-05-03T19:00:00.012+08:00

.....since its National Scrapbooking Day!

Okay this gonna be a loooong post.

I've already been keeping myself busy since early this week with the cool happenings at Scrappin Kids Forum especially the National Scrapbooking Day Frenzzy!!! A lot of frenziess goin on til 4th May 2008 which is tomorrow. I have participated in two challenges only. Just sooo didnt dare to join the SK Ultimate Challenge Scrapper! hehee

One:
I woke up early this morning only to finish packing the goody bags swap for the kids of my new scrapbook friends in SK forum. This would be my first time having this kind of moment; worrying, panicking and completing the works!! hehehe!! although felt a little bit tired but i hope the 7 lovely recipient kids gonna like them ;) I sincerely HOPE so.

Here's to share a peek look of the blue elephants making their way to the respective wonderful kids.

Two:
Color challenge. Only to use B&W or Sephia photos. No color except for the layouts. It was sure a twisted challenge there. I managed to finish a LO earlier this week having the same rules, about my close friend's family having a vacation somewhere in Malaysia :)

Here's my take:

Well, i think thats it for the SK happenings. Do pops in the SK forum peeps, in case you havent! :)

********************************

My sister requested for her plain mini briefcase to be revamped with my overloaded SB stash! haha!! great one sis! :P She asked just for a simple one urgently and not to overdo the professional look of her briefcase which she gonna put all the immigration post control stamps! haha! how cute..

yeah, its THAT simple alright! :D

On a productive post, this afternoon, three of us held our own crop session at my crib. Alin the BigSis was trying to finish her SK forum color challenge while Mac was doing her family thang! We had fun and happy they enjoyed themselves.

here with the busy bees.
if you may notice, i meant the two little kids over the corner. *haha*

here's their decent happy look.

here's the cheeky look!
oh no...hope shes not doing this random thing in her teenage! LOL!
And look at Afiq's look! how handsome! hehehe

Alright thats all folks!
Im off to the next challenge which still need extra mojos to do that! heh

SIC Motherhood

2008-05-01T22:05:00.006+08:00

Hello croppers! Just a quick post.

So okay peeps, do join the challenge for May this time. Its quite easy and gonna be absolutely fab! The Challenge #2 for SIC in May is {Celebrate Motherhood}. Check out here for further details.

Here's my take for SIC {Celebrate Motherhood} by the way........i know i still need to learn how to take better shots in photography..huhu!

"My Bliss"

My journaling is quite simple cos im not good at it:

Bliss is when a woman becomes a mother,
despite knowing its a major responsibility,
you feel blessed with happiness!
Happy Mother's Day.

ps. to Renoa, no thats not chopstix my dear, those are organza ribbons. :P
