We are pleased to announce that our winner for our last challenge is:

Congrats Helga.  Please contact Michelle at chowchow138@gmail.com for your RAK details.

We would like to thank everyone for your support throughout these 2 and a half years and we would like to bid farewell to all our readers.

Final Challenge - Kerryn's December 2011 and Farewell

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

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.

Eila's October 2011 Challenge

October is upon us and this month we are pleased to announce that we have another new Guest DT and she hails from Sweden.  Here is some information on her and her challenge:

My name is Eila Sandberg and I live in Sweden's capital called Stockholm on the east coast by the Baltic Sea.  My family is a small one - it's me and my very supportive and patient husband and our 3 cats - Max, Alice and Elsa.  My roots are Finnish but I was born and raised in Sweden.

I’m on the DT of The Color Room in Australia and currently also on the GDT at Les Papiers de Pandore in France. Almost all of my pages have fussy-cut details and hand stitching is something I really like to do on my layouts as well. Thank you so much for asking me to be your Guest Designer for October! I am truly honoured and really look forward to seeing what you all come up with!


For more information on Eila,  please head over to her blog here.

The October challenge is to include:-

1.      Old book paper, sheet music or something similar downloaded off the internet & printed out.

2.      Fussy-cutting.

3.      Hand-stitching using embroidery floss.

Here is Elsa's beautiful take on her challenge.
