Altered Chest Bag

Mich got me this absolutely cute adorable bag from Spotlight, Singapore. I was so excited to alter it and see what I could come up with. The most difficult part was deciding the theme for it. Finally, I decided cover the front bag with Teresa Collins Patterned Paper, Autumn Leaves Clear Stamps, Fabrics I had in my stash, Beeswax, 7Gypsies ABC Stickers, American Crafts Rub-ons, German Scraps Embellishments.

This is for storing my little knick knacks I've been keeping for scrapping one day. Quotes I have collected, etc. I intend to also have pockets on the inside so I can store little bits of paper and what not.

Mich, I can't wait to see yours..

Home Album

Celebrate!

Hubby home from Perth. I think he feels bad for not taking me, especially being Perth, our once home for many many years. He knows how much I miss the place, so he bought me this, A CUTTLEBUG!! He went searching for the shop for this.. I truly appreciate it, honey..

In return, we had a barbeque for all the April Babies..

Makmah + Hubby + Nadia + Dalilah + Intan + Fahmy

I'm proud to show you my little under develop skill with the flower centre pieces, nothing fancy but at least something.

Fiber-Licious

Inspired by an Australian scrapbook artist, I've decided to attempt at it myself and play. To my surprise, it was easy and very very fun. If you have fibers that are lying around and you don't know how to incorporate them into your creations, here is one way to use them.

Vintage Time Album

This is for me. Just to celebrate Time is Precious.. especially time spent with the kids/family/friends are time well spent.

This album is quite different from the previous one. I challenged myself to do another album completely in a different colour as you can see here. Painted the cds in black gesso before i started any decorating. Papers are 7Gypsies, lots of lace, Maya Road chipboards, 7Gypsies A - Z Stickers (new in store).

Rule of thumb here is to finish embellishing every page BEFORE adding the lace ribbon.

HaPpY BirThdaY!!

I made this album for Nadia turning 9.

In every page, a quote to remind her of the things she should not forget especially after her 9th birthday she turn 9.

Things like, there's always tomorrow; ~ only to mean if you didnt succeed today, try again tomorrow

laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone; ~

if a thing is worth doing, do it well; ~ no half hearted business..

two heads are better than one; ~ teamwork, baby!

if at first you don't succeed, try and try again ~ never give up, keep trying.

Happy Birthday my little big girl..

As for bigger girl, Happy Birthday Ning..

Here's something for you.. I'm sure if i'm there, we would be doing this..

Miss you heaps..

Bathing..Alone..

JaPaNese-y!

The Simple Things}

Dira is the most simplest gal ever. Just today she said to me, "Mama, my GOODEST day is when kakak is nice to me".

Same goes with the story behind this layout. When I brought her to the yatch club, Brunei, she was thrilled to just play on the shore, no toys..just splashing water.. the simplest thing makes her little day a great one.

Cabin Preassure.. Baby Hair?

This picture was taken on our way back from our Brunei Trip in the plane.

Ariff, or he refers himself as "Baby", has curly wurly hair. We sometimes called him, Mr Noodle.. but when he gets on the plane, his hair completely goes flat!! We have been observing him everytime he goes on a plane must be the...CABIN PREASSURE. Hahahaha, both sister laughs.. [although.. i'm not sure if preassure is spelt correctly..sigh..oh well]

Fashionable Hairdo

A layout I made for Dira's conversation with Grandma.

Grandma says,"Wow, your hair is so fashionable today." Dira answers,"Its not fashionable, its only a hairdo, Grandma!"

I'm documenting my everyday thereabouts and routine of the kids and myself.
