Scrap-It-Lah, Monochromatic White : Abang & I 1978

I have been thinking for more than 100 times (kot) whether to join or not to join for this challenge. For this month Scrap-It-Lah challenge is hosted by DT Yatie hop on to her blog to learn more about this challenge. Here is my take, I have tried my level best to use WHITE as much as I can...this is what I came out with...





It was a picture of myself and my brother in year 1978, we was at our old kampung which is no longer exists, that antique house is no longer there, that antique square TV is history...I found this photo while cleaning my mother's old album couple of months ago. The original photo I kept in an acid free album and I developed another few copies for me to scrap. I even cut the edge using my antique photo cutter so that this photo will look much older as those days our photo shops used to cut their photo using this kind of cutter. I even used my Singer sewing machine to sew those white polka dots net around the photo. The title is "abang & I 1978" (abang means brother). My photo a bit dark, my apologies but this is the best I can give you to view.

Fujifilm instax mini7S

I haven't updated my blog for more than a week now...and I have been scrapping lately and managed to finished a couple of layouts but I have yet to upload and share with all of you.


Back to the topic, I saw a few of my fellow scrappers and friends using this camera from Fujifilm and it is a polaroid version with the image print of a credit card size. Wanted to have this camera for so long and finally I managed to get one today - I ordered yesterday and this morning I am a happy customer! this purchased came together with 4 boxes of instax mini (the film credit card size photos). Managed to snapped 2 photos and the results was great (can't compare to Nikon DSLR though). If you want to purchase this camera let me know. Thanks for dropping by.

Singer 7465

Singer Confidence 7465 (google images)

I managed to get this sewing machine for my scrapping purposes and also to sew whatever I want. I wanted to buy the 2nd hand sewing machine but changed my mind after I have tried to sew on this machine...brilliant machine I should say. First I wanted to get Electrolux brand since they have a warehouse sale last week but after many feedback and since Electrolux is not specialized in sewing machine I opted to this normal brand - Singer. I get a lot of freebies and of course free classes - anytime I can come and join them. Since I don't have a proper sewing machine table, my father is kind enough to get the cast iron sewing machine table for me and it will be painted in white, so I can use that as my sewing machine table.

Something like this...

don't grow up so fast baby, mommy can't cope with you!

Memory

I went through our old photos and I found some old photos of mine and our Zara looks like me when I was about 1 and half year old. The photo was taken in late 1970, the other two toddlers in the photo was my cousin and the lap that I sat on was not my mother she is my aunt.

Suzy's graduation day

Suzy graduated about 3 years ago and I attended her day as our parents are not able to make it due to my mother was not well at that time. She suffered from cancer and just had chemo done the previous week hence she was not able to make it as well as our father. Not that great layout tho...

antique

I really like this antique stroller and I straight away bought it when we was in Kedah last year. I saw the Chinese neighbour used it every evening and took her girl out for a stroll and I fall in love immediately. Besides our others two prams at home this one can be used around the neighbourhood and it is so easy to handle. Our Quinny Buzz is damn big and so the Disney pram. This one is nice and Zara love this stroller too...this picture was taken while she was sleeping at Opah's house in Kedah. Here is the layout...

random

All these photos was taken using my iPhone and the image - not bad for printing, I printed a few in small sizes. Taken in the morning before leaving the house, during shopping time, at the hospital and etc. So it is randomly taken...as she is the only apple of my eyes.

Here is my layout...

get well soon

Remember on my previous entry about my baby inguinal hernia surgery? I know it is kind of past event however I just scrapped about her last weekend...it was our photo taken in the hospital. We was put in a two bedded room in SDMC (Sime Darby Medical Centre) or known as SJMC as there is no single room available. So Daddy changed us to VIP Suite, it is a huge room bigger than the one in Prince Court. The big room is more than enough for us so that whenever she cried no one gets disturb. Daddy's girl...how lucky! she recovered fast though after the surgery she is all cheerful and giggled.

Here is my layout...

I used Jim Holtz tiny attacher and I stapled those 3 ribbons
