I am a PAPER!

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!

Moving on

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!

Temptations killed

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!

Unproductive minus Un.

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 :)

oh happy day.

Salam readers.

I have been keeping myself busy making few layouts i still owe since Friday. Despite the low creative juice i have been facing since Monday, I finally had at least a quarter after the "Create Mojo" session yesterday afternoon at Jazz. Alin aka BigSis and my new scrapping friend, Mac, were among the attendees. :) Met Poinz earlier but she only dropped by to fetch her new arrival stuffs. I lovee those canvases Poinz! How i wish i could paint well! heeeee!!

Sadly, I wasnt really creating mojos then but two of my babes were really hardworking! Way to go ladies! Cant wait to see 'em creationss! I was busy digging thru all Jazz's stuffs and found this super cheap bargain puncher costs around $32 before the 70% discount!! woohoooo!! Thanks ka Jazz for making me a happy girl, and massive thanks for the felt lace! super cool and feel "sayang" to use 'em. teeheeeeee!!

Ahoy! Now I finally done with my challenge LO. Deadline is 2 days away but thankful for the sudden energy! Here's a sneaky look:-






A LO for my friend. Her lil girl is soo adorable in this picture where she was trying to color her lips. I just had to scrapbook this! :)



8.5x11 LO. Left a blank journal paper for her mother's words.
The lil girl's dad is a (shy) scrapper too y'know.


Pardon me of the poor quality images as my snappy tool wasnt around at this moment.
oh, i missed you already. hope to see you soon.



Enjoy your week ahead!

SIMPLY STUCK!

weekend is heaven. even the road leading to the newly opened Giant store still 'heavenly' jammed! although the store is only few kms away from our crib, we still haven't managed to drop by. whats all the fuss anyway. soon like after a month, it'll be less crowded... right!

know what?
i am really a scrapbook shopaholic now! its super addictive! bought more than i needed!
do i need help?? :P


i am worried. i wanted to start scrapping. its really hopeless. totally none creative juices flowing inside me. :( To Alin, hey you're not alone babe. im stuck as well.

i feel i turned into the most boring person lately.


but here's something to cheer me up.


I SCRAPBOOK,
therefore I am..

* Creative
*Obsessed
*Broke!

True enough huh? :)





here's a couple of flowers (maybe) to get me started.



cheers!

i have sinned......

...from spending! (more journaling after this song break..)

*Oh i so cant sleep~ Had a cup of mocha earlier~ That should explained~ My very wide eyes~~

*pretend to sing like Joss Stone :P



Seriously, i feel like on drugs. My eyes are tired but i just cant sleep. Not after 3AM!!! It has been a week. I think I need to visit the sleep clinic! huhu.. or the snoring clinic! LOL!!

I dropped by at SC during lunch today and tried to refrain myself from buying any sb products until next week. Guess what happened? Guess! hehe Yep yep yep!! I did buy some of their new arrivals especially the AC Thickers-Felt stickers!!! haha. OMG I so cant help myself... thousand apologise to me. ..... NOT! Meanwhile, hubby was so "supportive" that he had to say later that afternoon when i told him about my "spendng sin", "better open your own shop lah...spend and earn at the same time from there..." (err....not exactly the words but okay something like that..)

heh. i would, someday. LOL!! i wissshhh~~ hehehe! And was mentioning this to Alin to name the dream shop as DroolinScrap. heeee corny.

Oh okay i feel tired already.

Oh, received several MMS from my sis in KB showing off my one month old niece, Dania. My gosh was i surprised to see the major difference of her look than a week ago!


Before





After (a month)



er... Sleep tight me.


Oh to all Muslims, Selamat Menyambut Maulidur Rasul 1429H.

February 24, 2008

double cheers!

Helloo..! Happy national day to all Bruneians! :)
(celebrated every 23rd February)


Currently i am having those 'scrappy' feeling! Instead of doing one LO, i managed to do a couple of 'em! thanks to the double holidays!

Though i still find them a bit less attractive to see, but i am proud that i can be creative (just a little tiny weeny bit) in traditional scrapbooking! huhuh... :P

Well frankly speaking, there is still a LOT for me to learn in this new found 'ART'. Still a long way to go baby! heheh.. my inspirations are my family, my kids, my friends and scrapbook shops (that includes at jasmin's!)



dedicated to my colleagues and the formers :)
(dont bother on the purple alphas as there were few errors made. if only i have the sizzix~~ hehe)



for my new born niece, baby Dania
(pics taken few hours after her birth)


I am currently having this crazy obsession with Chipboard/Words/Die-Cuts To Go (in tin boxes) by K&Company. I know its a bit pricey but I guess I like their colorful tins. Maybe one day I can alter them.... o-kay, one at a time me.










example Die-cuts by K & Co.

Oh, as mentioned by alin, go here for various scrapping inspirations.

Have a good weekend scrappers!



be inspired, have apple vanilla.



hearts!!

February 21, 2008

mixed emotions..



These tags were made by a good friend, Alin. It was meant for the scrapping kids charity drive but she got carried away and made another two for her lovely sons. Awww….really sweet and surely one hot mama! *hehe* true what!

As claimed in my previous post, I didn’t managed to do any LO. In fact I haven’t started one yet. Yes I know, its pathetic and sad. LOL!! Hopefully I have free time this weekend!

Nonetheless, we have been planning to attend Jazz’s class on making the flowery bloom. I have seen the real thing at her place and daym was I amazed! Its really beautiful. I doubt that I can make one like that during the class session. As I might cannot help myself on “scrutinizing” her scrapping materials! huhuh…

Anyways, I am so excited!! Don’t wanna speak too soon actually but I AM REALLY EXCITED!! :D



~la la la la la la~

February 16, 2008

whats your space like?



This is my scrapping space! LOL! I wish!! Isn't this one cool scrapping space?! Credits to this duo site.

Will make at least ONE LO this weekend... fingers crossing though..depending on my free time flexibilty with the kids.. huhu!


Happy Scrapping Weekend!
