Final Challenge - Kerryn's December 2011 and Farewell

2011-11-30T17:27:00.000-08:00

All good things must come to an end. To end this blog, I would have to start from the beginning. I have started this blog together with Jessy which you all know as Teacher Jessy. The whole purpose of this blog was to attract more attention to and provide a platform for Malaysian scrapbookers. To this day, I honestly feel that we have achieved what we need to achieve. Scrapbooking is catching on in Malaysia and some of our Malaysian designers have made it to the international. For me, due to my family commitments, I would like to concentrate on my other pursuits such as painting, cooking and photography and hence, it is time to bid adieu to this Challenge Blog.

I would like to personally thank all that have supported us through the years especially all the my DTs, sponsors and our loyal participants since our conception in April 2009. This will be our challenge on this blog and we would like to see more participants so that we go out with a BANG! Last month, we had a record of 15 entries. For that, we all at Scrap-It-Lah would like to thank you for making us a success last month.

This month, we bring you another very talented scrapbooker from the Down Under. We hope that you will enjoy her challenge as much as all the DTs had. Here she is:

Hi, I’m Kerryn.

I live in sunny (most of the time) South Australia with my husband and two children (well three if you count the dog!). I have been scrapbooking for about 4 ½ years now. It is a hobby that I love with a passion that has been good to me in so many ways. I have made many wonderful friends through this hobby too. I don’t have a particular style as such but I love layers, I love distressing and I love concentrating on the details. I switch between 12x12 and 8.5x11 depending on

which way the wind is blowing. Having both a son and a daughter means I get to indulge in pretty,

girly layouts as well as grungy, fun boy layouts.

Thank you very much Scrap it Lah for having me as your guest this month.

Debbi Tehrani's November Challenge

2011-10-31T22:22:00.001-07:00

It's November and we have lined up another exciting challenge for you. This time, Helen has found us another very talented designer and she is non-other than Debbi Tehrani. Here is a write-up of Debbie:

Hi, everyone! I'm Debbi Tehrani.

I live in Maryland with my husband, Farzad. We celebrated our 30th anniversary this year. We have no children, but we have three cats and a bearded dragon. (The beardie accompanies me to school, where I teach fifth grade.)

I've been scrapping for about a decade. I love telling stories on my pages.

I scrap 8 x 8, which poses some special challenges because I like to put lots of stuff on my pages, plus photo(s) and story, but I adore this size!

For me, scrapbooking is a creative outlet and a way to capture and celebrate all the random little things that make my life special and meaningful.

I love a good challenge, and I've been on the design team of several challenges, including Creative Scrappers, Color Combos Galore,

How Much Is Too Much, Creative Prompts for You, and Scrap Yourself.

I'm also on the design team at Work in Progress kits.

I've been lucky to have my pages published in BHG Scrapbooks, Etc., Scrapbook Trends, and Simple Scrapbooks.

If you'd like to take a peek at some more of my pages, please visit my blog, Little Scraps of Magic.

I'd like to thank Helen for inviting me to play along at Scrap-it-Lah! It's been great fun and an honor to be here!

We at SIL would like to thank Debbi for sharing her talent with us and without further ado, here is Debbi's challenge details:

All layouts must please incorporate the following

{thereafter any extras may be added}

1. Layers - at least 6

2. Stamping and/or embossing

3. Tags or journaling cards incorporated into your design

(not necessarily used to journal on but can be if you choose)

This is Debbi's beautiful creation.

Helen incorporated the fall colours into her layout.

Amelia as usual dazzles us with her shabby chic layouts.

Fon Mee scrapped a very bold layout using doileys and pink - very unconventional colour and embellishment for her son's layout.

Helene scraps this absolutely cute layout!

We just love DT Yatie's layout of her daughter Nadiah in her beautiful baby blue traditional outfit.

DT Azura send us this very cute layout.

If you chose to participate, this is the RAK that is up for grabs. Presenting another very beautiful Studio Calico Tatting Kit which is available from Scrappin Studio here:

Helen's September Create Your Own Background Challenge

2011-08-31T17:31:00.001-07:00

Another month has just flown by and another month is starting anew with another brand new challenge here at Scrap-It-Lah. This month, we are pleased to announce that our in house DT - Helen has come up with another brilliant challenge for you. Before we get to the challenge, here are some information on Helen for you.

My name is Helen Tilbury & I live in Durban, South Africa, with my scrap-tolerant husband Shane & our four children – Chelsea (18), Jack (16),Reilly (13) and Cami (11). I love all things paper-related and am also a keen photographer. I’ve been paper-crafting for 8 years now am showing no signs of stopping any time soon! In fact I have enough stash to start a store so I’m going to be scrapping the rest of my life just to get my money’s worth out of it.

When I’m not taking photos, scrapbooking or blogging I’m doing stuff with the kids, taking them to their activities; extra lessons, sports matches or sleepovers! I love connecting with other bloggers from all over the world love that I have a huge bunch of online friends ; hope to travel the world one day and visit them all. When I’m not pursuing my passions or doing my “mum” job I love to relax with a magazine ; eat a delicious meal prepared by my hubs, who is a great chef…yes! I’m a lucky girl!!

Currently I am designing for Colour Combos Galore, Inspired Blueprints, Once Upon a Sketch, Bird is the Word, Scrapbook Kits with Jules, Pretty Paper Petals and Scrap-it-Lah. You can find my blog @ http://helentilbury.blogspot.com.

Back to the challenge now and a Big Thank you for Helen for such a creative challenge. You will be pleased to know that you had some of your fellow DTs step out of their comfort zone for this challenge. :) Don't we all like a good challenge once in a while? For more information on Helen and her beautiful works of art, please head over to her blog here.

Before we start with the challenge details, we would like to announce some 5 simple new rules when participating in our challenge:

5 Simple Rules for playing along at Scrap-it-Lah Challenges

1. Please create a NEW layout for each challenge but you are welcome to combine with other challenges, as long as your layout was specifically designed with Scrap-it-Lah in mind and created AFTER the challenge details were posted!

2. Please remember to mention Scrap-it-Lah somewhere in your blog post; create a link back to the correct challenge post at Scrap-it-Lah.

3. Please include the challenge requirements within your blog post – you are welcome to copy; paste these off the Scrap-it-Lah blog.

4. Please also mention the deadline the challenge ends and let everyone know what prize is up for grabs!

5. Remember, you must be a follower of the Scrap-it-Lah blog to be “in with a chance to win”

Without further ado, here are the specifics of Helen's challenge:

Create your own mixed media background, using printed paper as a base. Be sure to include at least 3 different paint colours in whatever effects you fancy. This can be using stamps, bubble wrap, etc etc - its all up to your imagination.

Also ensure that you have at least twelve words on your layout, which can include the title, date (if you want to include one) and the journaling (or even be one REALLY long title if you like!)

Here is Helen's take on the challenge:

DT Azura played it so well with her paints.

DT Helene claims to out of her comfort zone in this layout but Helene - its such a stunning layout. If you were out of your comfort zone, it's really not showing.

DT Fon Mee artsy take is another pleaser.

DT Nad "grunged" her layout but still managed to add some softness with the butterflies and flowers.

DT Yatie's take is a bright and striking layout with her use of bold colours.

DT Amelia played it so well with so many elements in her layout.

Winner Announcement for Iris' August Challenge

Iris' August 2011 Challenge

2011-08-01T00:05:00.000-07:00

For the month of August, we have yet another Guest Artiste coming up with a challenge. She is non other than the talented Iris Babao Uy.

Here is a little something about Iris:

"I am a scrapper from The Philippines, a wife and a mother to two sweet girls Nicole who is turning 6 years old, and Cheska who is turning two years old. I rarely plan my pages – I let a photo or a patterned paper inspire me and I take it from there. I love the shabby chic and romantic style but I also enjoy working with bold patterns and striking colors. I’m an ink and paint type of person. I just have to get it a little messy to consider my page done. If I don’t have ink and paint on hand, then I just tear little bits of elements and stick it randomly for the sheer fun of it

I am fortunate to be designing for Webster’s Pages, Fancy Pants Designs, and Lily Bee Designs. I was also named as one of the first two Prima Masters. I am also currently a designer for a wholesale store in Australia – Aussie Scrapsource. One of the things I consider to be among my accomplishments in crafting industry have been named as one of the 2008 Memory Makers Magazine Masters and I am thankful for the blessings which have come my way as an artist and will continue to be thankful for the happiness and fulfillment that I get from this craft."

Iris has given us an awesome challenge. She wants you to have "three things in your layout... stamping, embossing, and misting. Plus there must be at least one raw chipboard to dress up". Here is Iris' beautiful sample layout:

The DTs has also come out with stunning layouts all.

Issa's July Challenge

2011-07-01T14:10:00.000-07:00

This month, we are excited to be able to invite Issa to be our guest artiste and she has come up with a nice challenge for us. Issa is not a stranger to the Asian scrapping scene having served on some Asian Scrapping Sites as DT and she is a very seasoned scrapper. Here is some information on Issa in her own words:

My name is Issa Virtucio-Lucido and I'm from Laguna, Philippines. I'm a Mom to Luis Lauro Antonio and Lucian Lorenzo Roberto and married for 18 years to Dodo Lucido, a Government Aquaculturist. I work as a college Instructor teaching business courses.

I am a certified Scrapaholic and an addict Scrapbooker since 2005. I started making pages in 1993 when my first child was born, not knowing that what I was doing was called scrapbooking. It was in 2003 when I met my bestfriend Timi and taught me the basics of this craft. Since then it became my deepest passion. I don't really know my style but I love sewing, paper tearing and painting. As of now, I am so eager to try new and different styles and learn more about this wonderful hobby. And since I have two sons to scrap, I fell in love with masculine yet dainty layouts.

I am so grateful to be here to share some inspiration and to learn more things about our love for scrapping. Happy scrapping everyone!

Issa has a very interesting challenge for us this month. Here are her challenge criterias:

All mothers love to scrap their little darlings and we often forget scrapping about ourselves! Here's a little challenge to eventually scrap those hidden photos of yours Mommies...

Do share a multi-photo layout for the month of July! Challenge is 
 
1)  at least 5 photos in one layout which means the layout must be multi-pics.  There must be 5 visible photos in it
2)  Photos must be a mixture of black and white and coloured photos please
3)  There should be visible journalling on the layout.

I want to share this layout where I used photos of mine taken since March of this year. You can noticed that I was smiling all the time and I can't help but say that I am HAPPY! So share us you takes ladies!

The topic of this challenge is : "Thing/s I can't do Without."

We would like to challenge you to scrap about the thing or things that you can't do without. It may be something tangible or intangible and we thought it would be nice if you can put it down onto paper on what you can't live without.

Here are the DTs' takes on the challenge:

DT Amelia : She says it quite simply that she really cannot live without her daily dose of caffeine :)

DT Fon Mee lists down all the items that she needs in a day on an elegant layout.

DT Nad says that communication is the key and she simply can't live without her blackberry and Ipad.

DT Yatie does an emotional take - citing that she can't live without her daughter's smile. Awww..... how sweet.

DT Helene basks in her love and she simply can't live without her hubby's hugs. Sweet love...

We love DT Azura's tic tac toe-ish take on the challenge complete with tiny photos of what she cannot live without.

DT Helen expresses her love in such a sweet layout. Love how the layout is full of photos yet it doesn't look cluttered.

We hope that you are totally inspired with these new talented and returning DTs. We have prepared this RAK for you below and please do read our challenge rules as conditions for participation do apply:

New DT Announcement and We will be back in June

2011-05-26T06:31:00.000-07:00

A very very BIG Thank you to all the applicants for our DT positions. We would love to take all of you but unfortunately, we can't. However, we would like to thank those who have tried out and here are the chosen DTs for our next Term June - December 2011. Here they are in no particular order:

Azura Alyssa

Hi! My name is Azura Alyssa. I am from the sunny island of Singapore. I am down to earth, cheerful and loud. I always have crazy and fun ideas. My life circles around those who are close to me especially my family, my friends and of course my boyfriend. They are everything to me and they always end up being the subjects to my scraps. Scrapbooking is now a part of who I am. Its my own little retreat of being artsy fartsy. It makes me happy and that is all that matters. Being on the team is an honor for me. I wish that throughout my term I will keep you inspired and you will inspire me as well. Thank you.

Helene Siermans

Hi! My name is Helene Siermans but I call myself Nick. It was my hubby who started to call me that. Why? Well maybe I´ll tell you one day. I have two kids. I adore them and they always make me smile. I live in Sweden in a small village. And finally I got myself a private scraproom. Yes dreams can come true... I´ll hope to inspire you here at SIL and I am looking forward to meet a lot of wonderful crafters from all over the world.

Fon Mee

Hi there, I'm from Sabah - The land below the wind. I've started scrapbooking in 2007 and never turn back since and never stop creating. I don't have a specific style but love to trying out new ideas, new products and play with colors. I also like mini album which is a good escape for those photos of mine that have no place for scrapbook layout. I'm a working mom and basically only be able to scrap during my free time such as after my boys went to bed or weekend.

Helen Tilbury

My name is Helen Tilbury & you can find my blog @ http://helentilbury.blogspot.com. I live in Durban, South Africa.

The weather is more often than not hot & humid & you can find me tinkering away in my little home studio with my air-conditioning set to 21 degrees Celsius!

I have a wonderful & tolerant husband who allows me to pursue my vocation liberally & we share 4 precious children aged 17, 16, 13 &10, plus 3 over-indulged fur babies (cats!).

I am currently part of the Challenge Design Team at Scrapbook Challenges sketch/challenge-based Ning community, Inspired Blueprintssketch-based Ning community,

Once Upon a Sketch sketch/journaling blog, Bird is the Word word-based challenge blog & Pretty Paper Petals Australian flower & embellishment manufacturer.

I am a work-at-home mum & could always make an extra buck as a taxi-driver as my kids have me driving all over the province regularly for sports matches & social activities!

I am a fashion designer by profession but my love of scrapbooking & photography has long since super ceded my love of fabrics.

I have enjoyed an enduring affair with pretty paper & embellishments for 7 years now & can't imagine a life without the smell of new papers & the anticipation of my next delivery of scrapbooking goodies in the mail!

I don't believe in labelling my style as I design to suit the mood & subjects of my pages but I endeavour to always push my creative limits & constantly grow with my craft.

Louise Dahlstrom

Headshots and write-up will be along later as Louise is unwell at the moment. We would like to wish Louise a speedy recovery and we can't wait for her to share her creations with us here soon.

With every new DT announcement, there are also some Goodbyes to be said to our "Retiring" DTs. We would like to thank Jessy, Wati, Sharm and Michelle for being on the team and we wish them well in their future endeavours.

Look out for our next challenge in June and we will be back then with new reveals from our latest team.

March Mood Board Layout

2011-02-28T18:12:00.000-08:00

Another new month, another new challenge. This month we would like to present you with our very first MOOD BOARD layout challenge. We know - some of you are going like, "HUH?" "What is a mood board?"

Here is an explanation on what a mood board is... Here is the explanation of a mood board in the Wikipidea here. To translate it into scrapbooking theme - here is the explanation on what it is on the squidoo here.

We would like to challenge you to come up with a mood board layout of any theme in a 12 x 12 inch layout which is to be submitted to us by Thursday, 31st March, 2011 at midnight Malaysian time.

Our DTs have all come up with different variations of the mood boards for your viewing pleasure and here they are in random order:

Amelia's mood layout defines who she is in a very definitive way. She is a wife, a mom and busy strong woman.

On a softer side, Jessy displays her fondness for all things shabby in her mood layout. Love the little elements which she has added to the layout.

New mom Nad professes her love for her daughter Zara in her multi-photo mood layout - isn't little Z cute? Congrats Nad on your newborn little girl.

Sharm expresses her hopes and dreams for her little one in this very whimsical mood layout.

Wati "schooled" her mood layout with alphabets and numbers as her little Prince has just started school.

Yatie added lots and lots of her daughter's favourite elements in her mood board - including hijacking N's crayons - hilarious!

Michelle documented all the words that her daughter says of her IDOL Justin Beiber.

Here is the RAK that we are offering this month. Interested? Do send us a submission this month and it may be yours!

We are just wondering what kind of mood layout will you present for submission? Do share them with us at the link below or email us at chowchow138@gmail.com.

Hello, hello everyone!! Today I’ll be posting the challenge in place of DT Michelle as she is away at the moment. January seemed to have passed by in a breeze and we now enter the month of February. First of all, let me take this moment to wish a very Happy Chinese New Year to all those celebrating around the world. May the new year brings much happiness and prosperity to you and your family.

As usual, February brings us the month of LUURRVEEEE.... And each year the theme is always LOVE for February and you'll see manufacturers left, right and center brings out Valentine's themed collections. There are almost always red or pink or shades of the two colours. This year for February, our DT Nadia has come up with something different. The challenge is to make a layout (12x12 or 8.5x11) with a lovey-dovey theme WITHOUT USING ANY REDS OR PINKS OR ANY SHADE OF THE TWO COLOURS. How's that for a not-so-typical Valentine's challenge?

First up is DT Nadia’s lovely layout of her and her hubby
welcoming their new baby girl, Zara.

Next is DT Amelia’s layout dedicated to her hubby with
her amazing cut work.

DT Jessy brings you a beautiful layout of her and her hubby with
gorgeous stamping, misting and masking effect.

DT Sharm came out with this dreamy layout of her
and her hubby that makes you feel like
they are in paradise.

DT Wati shares a simple layout and yet it focuses your
eyes on the beautiful photos of her and her hubby.

DT Yatie created a vintage layout with a touch
of romance, featuring her and her hubby.

DT Michelle shares a layout on sibling
love using Oriental themes.

Here is the RAK that we are offering this month. Interested? Do send us a submission this month and it may be yours!

So what LOVE are you celebrating this month? Let us know. Remember that Valentine’s is a celebration of all kinds of love. Share with us your no-red-or-pink layouts.

January Hobby Challenge 2011

2010-12-31T20:07:00.000-08:00

Hello 2011. We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and we hope that you will have a blessed year. As with everything new, we would like to welcome on board another new member to our Design Team - she is non other than Sharmandeswari. To view more of Sharman's beautiful works of art, please visit her personal blog here.

Now on to the challenge - With each coming month, we continue to unveil our latest challenge - this month courtesy from our DT Coordinator Yatie.

Here is the challenge details:

Do you know that January is the NATIONAL HOBBY MONTH? Isn't it great that we have a whole month to indulge in our hobbies? Well, technically anyways. So for January, I would like for you to make a 12x12 or 8.5 x 11 layout on your OTHER hobby(ies) apart from scrapbooking. The twist of the challenge is that you have to INCLUDE SOME KIND OF ELEMENT OF YOUR HOBBY in the layout, not counting the photo. e.g. like me, I like beading so I can include beads in the layout. Or if you like swimming, then a water element should be included say a stamped or doodle of waves. Or if your hobby is shopping you can include tags from your purchases.

Here is DT Yatie's take on the challenge. She has very cleverly added elements of her other hobby which is beading onto her layout making it such a unique piece of work.

DT Amelia with her Jazzercise routine packs a punch with so much energy with the numbers and photos.

Listening to music is another hobby of DT Jessy's and she has very cleverly used some music scores to emphasize her hobby.

Need we say more with DT Nad's take? A self-professed shopaholic with her tags and photos of her shopping - she has a lady's ultimate favourite hobby scrapped there. :)

Sharman debuts with a beautiful romantic layout which reflects on her favourite hobby which is reading romantic novels and beach getaways. Love the intricate work here.

DT Wati has caught the travelling bug and we love the way she has included her air ticket stub and stamp in her misted layout.

Photography is DT MIchelle's other favourite hobby. She has included a self-made camera with herself in the lens in her take on the challenge.

What is your take on this challenge? We look forward to learning more on your other hobbies than scrapbooking and here is the RAK generously donated by DT Yatie.

DT Nad has decided to use the Finnish flag for her layout whilst lounging in a boat on a vacation:

Brilliant colours are definitely the call of the day from DT Yatie in her take from the Brazillian Flag.

DT Jessy has Dutch in her blood and without saying - she has chosen the flag of Netherland.

DT Amelia has chosen the very cool baby blue Argentinian flag to scrap her son's layout.

September Scraplift Challenge

2010-08-31T17:59:00.000-07:00

What is scraplifting? Scraplifting is simply defined would be the copying of other people's idea or work for your layouts. Scraplifting is often a sticky topic for most scrapbookers. Should we do it or not? It is often convenient when one is low in creative juices or mojo but at the same time the person who we have scraplifted the ideas from is not so appreciative that we copied their ideas. Why? More often than not, it takes time to think of something new or creative to be used in the layout. Seeing the idea duplicated without any reference naturally upsets the creator.

However, some scrappers find it flattering when others copy their ideas. For us here, the general rule would be that if we do need to borrow ideas from anyone else, it would be great to just credit the creator. It is not hard - just needs some linking or reference to where you have seen such an idea - no sweat.

This month, all the DTs have long admired their co-DTs works of art and we have decided to scraplift each other's work and we would you like to play along with us.

All you have to do is to choose a piece of layout which you like from any of our DTs, scrap it and send it back to us. Please don't forget to tell us on where you took the layout from. Another important thing to remember is that please do take the layouts which are not based on any sketches from other sites.

DT Jessy scraplifted from DT Yatie's My Guy layout.

DT Nad scraplifted Jessy's cute little lo on her family and turned into a best friend's layout.

DT Amelia grunged up her scraplifted layout from DT Nad's Friendship layout.

DT Michelle scraplifted DT Amelia's daughter's layout.

Lastly, DT Yatie turned DT Michelle's boyish layout into a girlish cheery one.

Here is the yummy RAK that we have prepared for you this month:

1) 9 pieces of Glitter, Flocked and Embossed paper by Me and My Big Ideas
2) Pink Paislee Artisan Tape
3) Maya Road Banner Album
4) Thickers Alphas
5) Felt Border
6) Kaiser Rubons
7) Stamp By Daisy D
8) Petaloo Flowers

We require you to scrap in a layout (regardless in size) of your holiday escapades.

Here are the DT's take on this challenge:

Yatie's DD has a penchant for zoos during her holidays. This is a beautiful multi-photo layout of her enjoying the various animals at the zoo.

Mazlina scraps about her recent family camp gathering at a river. Love the bright colours and circls in the layout. Everyone is so happy about jumping in the water!

Jessy's take was being on Pulau Rawa with her bestie's son Adam. Precious memories indeed.

Trapezing in Phuket was on the highlight on a trip there for Michelle's daughter. She has decided to scrap about Clarissa doing just that.

Nad scrapped about her memories of Paris.

On a trip to Sydney, Nadhrah's son kept on chasing sea gulls and even crashed into a restricted area whilst doing so.

We can't wait to see what you all can come up with. Do Scrap-It-Lah and send it to us. Here is a picture of the yummy RAK that you will win if you do:

Thank you for your support and we hope to see more submissions soon.

February 2010 Oriental Lovey-Dovey Challenge

2010-02-01T03:51:00.000-08:00

Welcome to our very possibly unusual February Oriental Lovey-Dovey Challenge. Why you may ask - such a combination? This year, the Lunar Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day falls on the same day which is on the February 14. Hence, we are asking that you come up with a layout that reflects this and we are very pleased to say that all the DTs rocked this challenge and we can't wait to see all your submissions.

The only 2 criterias of your layout is that you are to combine any kind of Oriental and Valentine elements in your layout. Without further ado, here are the DT's takes:

Jessy used her wedding photos in order to scrap this layout. Love the background chinese character pp and the combination of some vintage Valentine images makes this such an usual layout.

Nadhrah added some Chinese words - Double Happiness and Prosperity into her layout which also featured her wedding photos.

Mazlina punched it with a photo of her son executing a flying kick! Love the addition of the tradition chinese paper cutting and the vibrant colours of this layout! Such energy!

Yatie had a softer approach with some oh so romantic oriental inspired paper with chinese characters and lace giving the whole layout such a different feel from the other DTs.

Nad chose striking colours with this shot of her and her hubby at the Eiffel Tower. There is no place more romantic than Paris. She added some chinese elements by using a chinese script stamp.

Michelle kept it simple with emphasizing family love during this Valentines. She added some chinese lanterns giving the whole layout a chinesey feel.

Here is the RAK that you stand to win this month! Check out the yummy things in it. We can't wait to see your submissions soon.

Conditions do apply:

Please send in your submissions either via our email at chowchow138@gmail.com or through our comments section by Sunday, 28th February 2010 (12 midnight Malaysian Time).

Hello 2010 January Sketch Challenge

2009-12-31T20:50:00.000-08:00

Goodbye 2009 and a very BIG HELLLOOOO to 2010. How time flies and its been a decade since the year 2000. With the coming New Year, we have some changes in our DTs (Design Team) members. This year, we bid goodbye to Nilla. We would like to thank her for her support of SIL and we wish her the best in her future endeavours.

With this strong team that we have here, we hope that SIL will grow from strength to strength.

Without further ado, we would like to unveil our January 2010 Challenge. A brand new beginning brings us back to the "skeleton" of a layout - what would that be? A sketch is always deemed to be the start and backbone of a layout. Jessy has provided us with a beautiful sketch for this challenge:

Here are the DTs interpretation of the sketch:

Jessy did a romantic layout of herself and her hubby using Webster Pages pps.

Nadhrah twisted the sketch and came up with this sweet layout of her daughter Tihany.

Mazlina used a mixture of different brands to feature her layout.

Nad inked her papers and used lovey dovey photos of herself and hubby.

Yatie twisted the sketch and added butterflies to sweeten her daughter's layout.

Michelle stuck to the basic sketch and added some more embellishments.

Here is the RAK that you will win. Its full of yummy goodies!

All you have to do in order to win this RAK would be to:

Wati's November 09 Challenge

2009-10-31T22:04:00.000-07:00

We are proud to announce that Wati Basri has graciously accepted for us to be our Guest Designer this month. As most of you may know, Wati was the owner of Scrappin Kids and is on the DT on several scrapping sites. For more of Wati's information, do hop over to her blog here.

Wati's challenge for this month was something of a hard nut to crack for most of the designers here. Most of us fretted over it and some even claimed that they lost some hair over it - LOL... Enough said here is the challenge this month:

"Please scrap a layout with the title comprising of the letters - "S", "I" and "L" which are the acronyms of Scrap-it-Lah."

Here are what all the designers' takes on the challenge:

Wati's take:

We love Wati's oh-so romantic take with her "So In Love" page and her beautiful wedding pictures.

Nilla's take:

Nilla has scrapped this very picturesque photo. We love the calm seas and and her beautiful, soothing colour combination and her lovely embellishments in her piece titled "Sailing if Life."

Mazlina's take:

Mazlina came up with such a sweet layout of her 2 kids cuddling in bed. We love it how she mixed our National language, Bahasa Malaysia and English together to create such sweet title: "Sayang itu Love", which means - "It means Love my dear."

Jessy's Take:

Jessy the consumate photographer did it again. This layout is stunning with the profusion of beautiful photos and her piece is titled :"Some Interesting Looks"

Michelle's take:

I was quite stumped for a while till I came across this photo of Sean taken by Sarah Grasset. I loved it very much and I have decided to use it can call it "Sean It Loud." It would probably be meaningless for someone who glances the title but if you read the journalling - I would like Sean to live his life out loud. In essence to life his life fully and make a difference in whatever he does.

Presenting our very yummy RAK for this month:

So come on scrappers, we can't wait to see our takes on our latest challenge! Do Scrap-it-lah!

The Simple Challenge

2009-09-30T04:13:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Another new month and another new challenge. Confucious said that

"Life is simple but we insist on making it complicated."

The word "Simple" carries a myriad of meanings to different people. Here are a couple of examples of some simple quotes:

"Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love."

By : H. L. Mencken

"The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life."

By: Robert Louis Stevenson

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life."

By: John Burroughs

Hence, we would like to find out what is your interpretation of the word "Simple" on a 12 by 12 layout. Please send your submissions in via our email - chowchow138@gmail.com or through our comments section by Saturday, 31st October, 2009 (Malaysian Time). Any entries received later than this time would not be considered and please note that the layout sent should solely be submitted for the Scrap-it-Lah challenge and not for any other challenges.

We leave you with the beautiful creations of the DTs this month. Here they are in no particular order.

Michelle's take:

Michelle made a layout on one of the simple pleasures which her family enjoys which is cycling. Nothing beats having the carefree feeling of cycling and having wind in your hair - its simple yet very pleasurable.

Mazlina's Take:

A child's sleep - most important - plain and simple. Sleep is so under-rated yet its very important to a child's healthy growth. Maz also stresses that a kid's life is simple and worry-free.

Nilla's take:

A beautiful orchid - thats just what took Nilla's breath away when she scrapped this. Oh - such simple beauty.

Jessy's Take:

Jessy scrapped about her hubby whom she loves dearly for his simple and easy disposition.

Here is the RAK that you stand to win this month. Just remember to Scrap-It-Lah!

We are pleased to announce the winner of the September SIL Challenge is:

SOOKIE!!!

Congratulations Sookie, please contact us at chowchow138@gmail.com to claim your prize.
