I've accidentally deleted all the messages on my profile at Scrap Orchard just now! What a sleepy head I am! I've just got back from the mall (been there from 11am and got back at 10pm) and I'm really tired at the moment, what a bad idea to check my messages at the Orchard... I'm so sorry! If you sent me a message at Scrap Orchard and didn't get a reply yet, can you please PM me again? Thanks so much for your patience!

p.s: I'm in the Round 4 for the SYTYCD contest! Wish me luck! I'm so nervous!

This week, Tami is challenging us to scrap about the 10 things in our life that we want to focus on. It could be anything - losing weight, focus more on study, get good grades, have a better relationship with your kids - anything. It's time for us to look inside and realize the important things in life that we want or need to focus on. Head over to the SM blog to learn more about the challenge and look at some of the layouts by the SM CTs to inspire you! Oh, and while you're here, here's the layout I made for the challenge:

Quick post!

2008-04-09T10:30:00.001+08:00

I've just lost my draft for this post. Grr, it's annoying! OK, I don't want to ruin your day with my rants, hehe, so here's some good news for you.

Kalanice has released a new kit called Baby Cuddlings. It's so cute! Packed with baby-themed elements. If you've just had a baby, I think you're gonna love it and find it very useful to scrap those baby moments (bad previews are caused by my blog! Please check out the full-sized previews by clicking on the images):

Wanna see a layout? Hehe, I think mine is not so good, but here it is anyway:

And a QP for you from the layout!

If you want to see better layouts with Baby Cuddlings with babies in it, do hop on to Kalanice's blog to see the amazing layouts created by the CTs!

Oh, Kalanice also has a special freebie for you! A rocking' kit called Teen Girls:

It's gonna be up for a few days only, so if you love it, be sure to snag it while it's still free!

I have some great news to share with you, but that's gonna be in another post. So, hope you enjoy the QP! Take care and have a great day!

*Psst..I can now access DC! Thanks to the tech guy of the ISP company. He helped me change my DNS address! LOL. So happy to be back at DC!!

New layout, new freebie

2008-04-06T21:20:00.000+08:00

I managed to finished this layout today. Phew. It took me 3-4 hours. It's very meaningful to me.

I use Tallula Moon's Scrap This kit (and other stuff from random goodies). Click to check out the credits and the journaling :)

I made these swirlies while scrapping. Notice some glittery swirlies on that layout? That's what I'm sharing with you today! Here they are:

Hope you have fun with them! Tata!

Layouts and a Freebie

2008-04-06T03:31:00.001+08:00

Quick post today! I want to share a great news with you.. I'm now a CT for Scrap Shanty! Our April digi sponsor is Ellie Lash. Ellie has given us her gorgeous Luke kit to scrap with:

A layout I made with it:

Isn't the kit stunning? I love everything in it, especially the alphas.

Ok, on with other CTs! Here are my recent layouts:

Malaysian Tradition

Using ScrappyBlueStone's beautiful Wake Up kit:

Shy Guy

We Are Famili

Using AmyLeigh Fennell's stunning kit, Brown-Eyed Boy:

A'Famosa Resort

Using Danielle Young's cute kit for Easter and Spring, Chickadee:

Layout for my ADSR partner, Aisyah

Using Fotosusu's beautiful kit, Dancing Butterflies collection:

Adik & Mek

Flower Girl

Using Kawouette's chic kit, United:

Grow

Using Tallula Moon Design's gorgeous kit, Scrap This:

The freebie I promised is a scalloped curve that I used on the layout above (it's for Scrap Shanty's April digi tutorial challenge - scallops):

Another thing for today. Sad news - I can't access Digital Candy!! DC is like my home in the digi land, and being unable to access it is bery annoying and frustrating! I don't know what's wrong, everytime I clicked on a DC link, I get a 404 page not found message. In Firefox and IE. And it's been a week since I last entered DC. I miss DC...I miss the people, I miss the challenges, I miss the candies at the store.. I miss everything! Now, I hang out all over the digiland. I can't seem to find any way to enter DC. I tried my sisters' computers - no luck. I cleared my cookies, restarted my laptop - still no luck. What in the world could have been wrong.. I hope I'm luckier next week. I can't stand a whole week without DC! If you happen to know why I can't enter DC, please let me know. I don't know where to get help regarding this.

Anyway, hope you enjoy my ramblings. LOL. And the freebie too. Tata!

Yay! Miss Mint's new freebie!

2008-03-19T04:11:00.001+08:00

I was making a page for ADSR 3 challenge 7 and using one of Miss Mint's staples. Then I just thought that, hm, why not check out if she has a new freebie or not yet. Then I found out that she has put a new free kit for us all! Thank you, Miss Mint!!

So I found some freebies...

2008-03-16T15:32:00.001+08:00

And I can't help to share! They're so pretty, I can't help but downloaded them all, lol. I'm also in the process of moving the freebies in my laptop to CDs. I still keep some of them that I use a lot in my laptop, though. The ones that I love to use. Anyway, here's the freebies that I was talking about:

By Summertime Designs:

By Regi Musa:

By Shabby Princess:

By lgperspective:

By ksharonk:

By Kara Perrien:

By Miss Mint:

By Lindsay Jane:

By Kellie for challenges st CLD:

And also, there are many freebies in the LDD Apprentice 2008 gallery. Do check 'em out! The apprentices are really talented!

Anyway, I've spent my $10 GC at Traci Reed's store, hehe. I bought this beautiful kit:

And this unique template set:

Thank you so much, Traci! I hope to join her team blog challenge again. It's so fun and inspiring.

Oh, gotta go now. Haven't finished my assignments! Thanks for stopping by!

I Won! Yaaay!

2008-03-15T15:45:00.001+08:00

I submitted a layout for a challenge over Traci Reed's Hawt Mama team blog and won a $10 GC to her store! I'm so excited!! And it's a layout of my boyfriend too, hehe. The challenge is to use at least 3 geometrical shapes in a layout. Here's the layout that won me the $10 GC - it's the one that I use everything from Oscraps' Lucky O collab kit:

So I'm gonna go shopping now! Hehe, I'm really excited. Will be back later to show you I what I get from Traci's store!

More layouts and a Freebie :D

2008-03-13T22:46:00.001+08:00

I scrapped yesterday with Jessica Alger's latest kit, Feelin' Lucky. I made 2 pages straight in 2 hours, lol. Here's the kit:

It's poker-themed, but I find it VERY versatile! Look at how it can be used:

Black paper, red frame, green buttons and heart stamp from Feelin' Lucky (link to kit above).
Yellow dotted border from my freebie (see previous post).

Soft yellow paper from Snow Baby.
Yellowish green lined paper from Enamored.
Everything else is from Feelin' Lucky (link to kit above).

And I made a page today with my designs:

You might notice that the pink paper is from my previous freebie, but the color has been toned down. Everything else will be given away as freebies in the future. Hehe. Guess what I have for you in my stash? LOL. Anyway, I don't really like how the page turned out but I really don't have time to redo it. I might redo it when I have the time. I scrapped with my designs because it gives me satisfaction :D

So here's an embellished frame for you, exactly the same one that I used in my page:

You can download it by clicking on the preview. Oh, the blue paper is not included, LOL!

Anyway, if you have some time, do stop by at my assignment blog, hehe... I need some help and feedback on the topic that I'm doing research on. It's for my Design Research assignment. It's very tough for me. Lots of reading and critical thinking. The last time I did something like that was in high school for debate and my study. Since I started doing Arts, I didn't read much. I need to change that. I want to be a responsible and an informed designer. I must start reading more books or articles.

I hope you enjoy the frame and happy scrapping! Thanks for stopping by :D

* hugs *

2008-03-12T17:28:00.001+08:00

We can basically post while surfing or working on something else (even while writing e-mails!). It's a really cool add-on if you have many blogs, check it out here.

Dreams Do Come True by Britt-ish Designs!

2008-02-20T04:03:00.000+08:00

Ngee, have you seen this HUGE and BEAUTIFUL kit by Brittney of Britt-ish Designs?? You just have to check it out:

This "Dreams Do Come True" kit is available at ScrapMatters for $7.00. Also, Brittney has an add-on freebie that coordinates with this huge kit on her blog:

Be sure to head on to the store to get this kit! You wouldn't want to miss it!

Thanks for Your Love :)

2008-02-20T03:52:00.000+08:00

Credits: I used everything from Be Still My Heart/TammyKat. The envelope and notebook paper is from Be Still My Heart freebie (must be logged in to the forum to download).

This is the first time I scrapped about my boyfriend. I don't have many pictures of him. The one that I used for this page is the best that I have. And I love this kit by TammyKat. There's so many beautiful papers and elements. I love the textures of the papers so much. I actually couldn't decide which paper to use for this page. I put this page aside for several days, and came back to it this night. I found it difficult to scrap a guy's page. I used to scrap about my nieces, so I can put any cute stuff and colors that I like. But for a guy's page, it's a bit more challenging. My boyfriend said he doesn't want soft colors, so I think red and black (and a little bit of pink) would be perfect. I think this page turns out great. I love it. But I might do another version too, lol!

New CT!

2008-02-19T19:20:00.000+08:00

I'm now officially a CT for ScrapMatters! I've also made a page using Ellie Lash's Waiamea kit:

Credits here.

Check out the Waiamea kit at ScrapMatters, it's only $5.00!

Ellie also has a collection of cute chirpies for you:

I've been tagged - by Charlie!!

2008-02-18T19:03:00.000+08:00

Silly me, I've been tagged by Charlie, my CT friend of Kawouette's team, and I didn't know about it until today after I saw my page at Technorati! Am I living in another world or what? This is a serious problem, lol! I need to get back to reality. So here it is!

6 things about me that are not so important:

1. I have this caffeine crave lately - the ones topped with luscious whipped creams and some dashes of mocha. I'm crazy about it! I've been hopping to some cafes to experience the different tastes of their caffeine goodness. My favourites are Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and my college's own Wings Cafe. Since classes are about to begin next week, I'm looking forward to get my daily caffeine doses at the cafe!

2. I love donuts but I don't know how to bake donuts. I love Big Apple, Dunkin Donuts and JCo. I personally think their donuts are all great. I loved all these three. Oh, I love donuts with thick sugary toppings! I have a sweet tooth :)

3. I got my first teddy bear when I was 19, LOL! I've never had teddy bears before, so when I got the one that I have now last year, it was totally unbelievable. I want to take this opportunity to my special friend who gave me the bear. Someday I'll scrap about it!

4. I love shopping but I don't have money to go and splurge. But lucky me, my sisters are all so generous. So does my dad. But I always feel bad when I asked for money. I don't know, I always feel like that.

5. I love kids!!! I think kids are really special creatures. They live in their own little world, and we don't know how they perceive the life. They're so mysterious. That's why I love photographing and scrapping about kids.

6. I wish I can bake croissants, cakes and cookies. I love love all those good food, but I'm a terrible cook! I need to learn somehow, I can't just eat the ones from the bakeries, ayte?

OK, so I'm gonna tag these wonderful ladies:

1. Sya - I'm a big fan of her! She makes amazing pages and I love her style.
2. Ingrid - I'm so touched by her warmth and friendliness! Also a great source of inspiration to me :)
3. Bisontine - She's so nice! I get to know her from Kawouette's CT too (like Ingrid). She makes really beautiful and meaningful pages, check out her blog!
4. Diane - my great friend from Danielle Young's CT! I love her style, and she's such a wonderful person.
5. Winnie Wang a.k.a Charlize - I knew here thru AmyLeigh's CT but I didn't get to know her well. So I hope this tagging thingy will help me to learn more about her!
6. Pam a.k.a Queen Pamedalah - Also from Amy's CT. Would love to learn more about her :)

Thanks for stopping by!

My Template is Featured?!

2008-02-18T07:20:00.000+08:00

I can't believe it... My template freebie is featured for a template challenge at the DigiscrapMania forum. I'm so flattered! And seeing the pages they created amazed me. They're jaw-droppingly gorgeous!! Some of the scrappers flipped the template 90 degrees and voila, here comes a fab page! It's so inspiring to see them creating with my template. Thank you so much you ladies!! I've placed the BabelFish translating tool on my sidebar to make it easier for you all!

Oh, don't forget to drop by at the DigiscrapMania forum. They speak French over there but hey, what's Google Translate for?? LOL!! Language is NOT anymore a barrier now. I even started to learn French more when I joined Kawouette's CT team. Thanks to the helpful and friendly ladies in the team, I don't feel so strange being the only non-French in the team.

And today I have a freebie to share with you:

It's a set of 2 pieces of cardboard backgrounds. Please remember that they're for personal use only! If you create LOs with my freebies, please link me up so I can leave you some love!

Take care and enjoy you day!

Yayy!!

2008-02-15T15:11:00.000+08:00

Be Still My Heart by TammyKat

2008-02-15T00:40:00.001+08:00

Layout :)

2008-02-10T01:45:00.000+08:00

I found Danielle Young's kits inspirational, hence I scrapped again with her kits. The layout above is created using Emma's Smile, Free Stylin', Wonderful Wizard and Lil' Green Machine altogether. You can find all the products here.

I scrapped!

2008-02-07T23:12:00.000+08:00

I'm in a rush, so here's some quick descriptions of these 2 pages:

The first layout is made for Dawn Inskip's guest CT contest. Love her style.

And, the second layout I made using Oscrap's February collab kit, O Valentine. It's so huge and beautiful, I think you'll love the kit if you buy it. I see lots of stuff that I'll be using again and again in the future in the kit.

Check out my previous posts for the preview picture of the O Valentine kit.

TFL!

Still on my Wish List

2008-02-06T19:50:00.000+08:00

I've been eyeing this kit since I found it in the store:

I might buy it when I get some money for monetizing my blog. Sheesh, it's so difficult to not having a credit cards & income.

Been busy...

2008-02-06T19:41:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I've been busy since yesterday. I backed up all of my scrapping supplies, layouts & designs, just in case my laptop breaks down. My scrapping folder is now is consuming 13.5Gb of my hard disk. And oh, I've spent the GC that Diane gave to me last week. Here's what I bought:

It was $4.00 yesterday when I bought it, but now it's $1.00! Grrr, I should have waited before I bought it...

$3.00

$3.00

Love everything that I got from the store. The doodles, especially. I might be using them a lot in my layouts, lol.

A bit Melancholic...

2008-02-02T17:19:00.001+08:00

I'm a bit melancholic today. Perhaps it's because of the 'time of the month'. Not really in the mood to scrap, but I did scrap anyway.

Credits: Everything from my freebies. Font: Marriage Script.

I have lots of kits from Amy & Danielle that I haven't scrapped with yet. They're beautiful, but I'm just not in the mood to scrap. I feel bad... Oh my, I hope this mood swing will go away soon. I hate it when it lingers too long.

You take care and have a great day. Don't be too moody like me :)

New Challenges & Freebies at DC!

2008-02-02T05:02:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone! There are new exciting challenges at Digital Candy forum (and freebies too!).

1. Get Lyrical with Kami
For this month, Kami has picked a very heartwarming song called I Loved Her First by Heartland (warning - you might cry when you hear it!). Also, she has made a wonderful freebie for this challenge. Check it out:

2. Digi-dares With Jen
This month, Jen dares us to scrap about our lives before scrapping. LOL! Will you take up her challenge? Well, head over here to show us your life before scrapping!

3. Simply Fontastic
Mojo's font pick for this month is Fuzzy Socks:

4. Template Challenge with ChrissyW
My new favourite challenge! Chrissy's templates are so beautiful, take a look at this month's template:

If you haven't checked out Heidi's Hodge Podge challenge, well, you just have to! The topic for the 2nd Hodge Podge is 'I Am Woman'. This challenge runs until February 14th, so head over to the forum and don't miss it!

And oh, Angela's 7th Candy Jar challenge is still running until February 7th. Here's her candy jar, in case you haven't seen it:

After February 7th, she's gonna put up another mini for the Candy Jar challenge, so hurry up, get the candies now and start scrapping about yourself!

I'm here!

2008-02-02T00:12:00.000+08:00

I've never planned to switch here, but it's all for good. My WordPress blog will still be available for freebie lists, but if you want to get my freebies, you'll have to look for them here! LOL. The main reason for the switch is that I want to monetize my blog, and WordPress doesn't allow me to do that since free accounts have no access to admin options. But I have that option with Blogger, and that's why I'm now here.

This blog would be the place where I put my freebies and layouts, while the WordPress blog would be where I put my freebie finds (sorry for reiterating it, I just want to make things clear, lol).

I have to thank my dearest friend, Diane, who had helped me out with this monetizing thing. She's such a wonderful person! She's also in Danielle Young's CT, and that's how we got to know each other (she added me to her Yahoo messenger friends, isn't she sweet?). And, she even did something that I've never expected to happen to me - she gave me a $10 gift certificate at Little Dreamer Designs!! I was so stunned (and still am now, lol), I could hardly believe that I now can finally shop for my scrapping supplies!!! I've never even shopped online before! She's a very generous & wonderful lady, I can't thank her more for it.

So here goes my journey with this new blog. Hopefully I won't miss WordPress too much. I love the features, but the lack of admin access really stressed me out. I hope I can achieve what I want with this blog. Oh, actually the reason why I monetize my blog is because I want to upgrade certain things that I have, and also to be able to shop online. I'm thinking of upgrading my 400D, my 25-84mm USM lens, and also get a flash gun. I might even think of getting an iPod if I can afford it one day. But of course, I also want to save up for the future. I don't want to be too thrift and forgetting about saving up.

If you're reading this, thanks so much, and I hope you'll still visit my WordPress blog since I'll still be posting my freebie lists over there.

Today's freebie is a set of 2 papers:
