Scraplift

Have you ever scraplift someone work before?

If you are a scrapbooker and you have probably heard the term "scraplifting" before don't you? Just in case you don't know, scraplifting is borrowing or "lifting" an idea from another scrapbooker. It is considered a compliment and usually most scrapbookers are honored to be lifted. It is good scrapping etiquette to acknowledge the lift by giving credit to the artist and layout being lifted. You must do this!

" If you don’t remember who you copied from, but know that it was copied, be sure to mention “This is a scraplift, but I don’t remember who did the original. If anyone knows, I’d love to give credit.” Many times the original artist will pipe up and be thrilled that you decided to use her ideas. Then you can give proper credit." (article from Scrapjazz.com)

There are several online scrapbooking sites host scraplifting challenges or you can do it on your own. Just look through an online gallery or a scrapbooking magazine and pick a layout that inspires you.

I would like to share with you a few articles about "scraplifting etiquette". You can go here and here to know more.

Have a good weekend.

Lace Doilies

I scrapped last week Sunday even I am "mojoless" for the past week. I scrapped this before my outing with the girls but I keep on forgetting to blog about my layout. Over at {Create} Make It Happen, their August challenge is to use Lace Doilies on your {Creations}. Here is mine...



The word LOVE is from the fabric I have, I cut and colored it gold, the alphabets was drawn freely hence the sizes is not the same.

Clear stamps

I bought the pocket file refill for my clear stamps recently and I love how my clear stamps neatly kept now. But I can't fit in the big clear stamps in that small pockets...got to look for another way of storage for the big ones.

Slice Magnetic Mat

I want to let go my slice magnetic mat, used once and if you are interested please let me know.

Our Sunday madness!

Last week Sunday - myself, Amelia and Mariam met up with Rita as agreed to collect our orders on crochet flowers and doilies. Mariam and I ordered a whole bunch of crochets flowers and Amelia ordered doilies (Amelia has ordered crochet flowers previously). Thanks to Amelia for recommending Rita to all of us. Here are my crochet flowers and I ordered a little white cover for my yo yo.



After that Elaine, June, myself and Amelia went for scrapbook shopping spree and these are mine...
We plan to have this kind of madness once in a while, anybody care to join us?

Fabric Album Class with Rosa

PLEASE NOTE IN THIS ENTRY, I AM EXPRESSING MY THOUGHT ON THE FABRIC/MATERIAL BUT NOT ON ROSA. TUTORIAL, TIPS, IDEAS AND ROSA ITSELF WAS GREAT, PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG.

yours truly with Professor Liza Norman, Rosa and Elaine

yours truly with hot mama - Mariam (the pronunciation - remember!!!)

yours truly with Elaine and Professor Liza Norman

finally, yours truly with Rosa

It was a fun Saturday for me with all the ladies/fellow scrappers. The class was full of laughter, jokes, talking and a lot of stories was shared - not forgetting we shared ideas too. After our class we head for a group lunch, some of us have to leave early so it was seven of us having lunch together after which we shopped too (it is a therapy) remember!

I enjoyed the class so much, fun class, fun scrappers, fun teacher, we as a student on the other hand "always have something" to object, asked or talked while Rosa was teaching. Rosa was patient with all of us as she keeps on saying..."listen girls, I am not going to repeat this again".

All of us brought our own slice machine, our own slice magnetic mat, tools and etc. As this time our fabric album will be embellished with a fabric embellishments, hence it is totally 100% fabric.
The only thing I was not satisfied is the fabric given, it was not a kind of fabric that we all thought we will be getting and this fabric album definitely will not stands up among the rest of the albums I have in my collections. If we was given a 100% cotton fabric, like the one I have (please refer to my previous entries on my fabric album and 100% cotton fabrics) we will not be making so much of noise in the class. For the amount we paid, I think we deserved to get an imported 100% cotton fabric OK! To my readers (banyak ke?) my apologies if my writing above is so vocal to any of you, I am just expressing my thought.

The teacher/Rosa was great but the material given was not! I want to elaborate further but lets drop this topic and as a lesson to myself - I will be more careful in the future when choosing my class.

However, when I arrived home on Saturday I straight away head to my little studio and I am done with the fabric album. Thanks to Rosa for the tutorial given.

I managed to snap few photos with the ladies but not all, Kak Ame, Kak Fadhilah I missed you this time! I would like to share with all of you, Rosa's fabric album, below are the pictures.







*my apologies for the photo quality, I used my old camera.

Have a great week ahead and happy scrapping!

A little update

I can't wait for my fabric album class tomorrow at Papier and will be seeing fellow scrappers as well. Not to mention, this weekend will be packed with a lot of other activities as well. Among others - my weekly yoga classes, meeting up with friends, groceries shopping and spending time with the family.

Yesterday night I tried to scrap but nothing was done as I am still "mojoless" and I can't even match my paper with the photos. However, my other friends are busy scrapping and producing amazing works.

Tonight I will have to get my Mimi bag ready for the class tomorrow with Rosa. Slice machine have to be charged and we are also required to bring few embellishments.

On another note, anyone care to share with me a contact for piano tuning? My piano at home need to be tuned. This make me thinking of buying a digital piano, easier - you don't have to tune and it is lighter. To my other half, if you are reading this don't shake your head please - "smile" instead.

What will you be doing this weekend, share with me...

Happy me!

Hey! I won this time at Papierhouse July Challenge and thanks to Papierhouse.

Design Dollies Weekly Sketch

My mojo decided to take a break over the weekends and I am just dry on mojo at this moment. I think it is too late for me to submit, but that's ok. Not a productive week in terms of scrapping but I enjoyed my time with my family. Here is the weekly sketch over at Design Dollies.


and here is my interpretation:-


Have a good week ahead!

Baking class over the weekend

I went for baking class over the weekend and it was not bad! I learn that baking a bread is not that easy, however if you do it over and over again it will be much more easier for you. Instead of using plain water we have to use ice cold water when baking a bread. Now I know...
I baked raisin bun, raisin plait bun, cheese bun, pizza, burger bun, red bean bun, crispy sugar puff, chicken floss bun and hot dog bun.



Not bad and the most important is I enjoyed the class - 10 full stars from my other half...and Zara likes the pizza so much!
