Have you checked this out?

The challenge is up on Dirty Scraps!

The Facts of Life

Life is what it is, it is FULL of ups and downs, bumps and bruises, and even sex. This challenge is not for the weak! hahaha just kidding... I challenge you to scrap the facts, whether it be the fact that you smoke, the fact that your single, the fact that you have sex, the fact that you have Mulitiple Sclerosis, there are alot of "facts" out there, they are not all pretty, they are not all clean, it's called LIFE. Go scrap it! Have fun, be real, be yourself.
Now go get Dirty!

People usually scrap the wonderful relationships with their loved ones.
Fact is, every relationship out there, no matter how good, has its flaws.
My mum and I share this love-hate relationship since my teenage years till now.
We quarrel, we fight, we make up, we love, we hate..
It's conflicting to say I love her.
But I really do, despite the quarrels, fights and cold wars.
One thing for sure is that she loves me with all her heart.
Finally my card and layout are reunited!
I'm going to do some blog hopping for more inspiration for my large stash of MF goodies!
Have a blessed Tuesday scrappies!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Mothers are the best gifts God gave to us, so this is indeed a day worth celebrating!
A matching envelope & tag along with a layout for mummy dearest.
The inner tag that goes into the envelope.
I'm playing with Melissa Frances papers, vintage images and its envelope and matching tag here.
The pretty roses and flower are of course from Prima.
I heart Melissa Frances.
Just love ALL her products.
You can imagine my glee when they hit my LSS last week.
I went berserk trying not to get more than two of each product. lol
You got to hold on for the reveal of the layout for Dirty Scraps Challenge #9!
Will also like you to join us for the challenges as we've really excited to have sponsors giving away attractive prizes for winners!
I've wonderful ladies telling me how thereapeutic Dirty Scraps is and I have to agree!
Every challenge eases my emotional burden, the heavy baggage I've been carrying over issues most of us are facing..
They seem to easier to commute after scrapping it out. Aside from the gorgeous papers and embellishments, isn't that what scrapping should be about? The story of your life, present, past or future.
The good, the bad, the ordinary and the extraordinary.
All housed under this little hobby called scrapbooking..
Amazing really..

I wouldn't have been able to make half of such a decent card for my mum if not for scrapbooking.
What can I say?
I'm loving it.

Before I go,
here are some peeks for the next Dirty Scraps Challenge! Continue to remain blessed and keep loving the scrapping! :)

Dirty Scraps challenge #7 up!

Hey the dirty scraps challenge is up!!
Check out the details over there.
It's a sponsored challenge so do join in the fun!

The drama of being ostracized by friends over a boy,
of being misunderstood all the time,
of being betrayed by close friends,
of being crazy over someone worthless
is finally over!

I don't normally use overlays in my layout but I was tempted by the MWL challenge so I decided to play along with overlays and a grid sketch.
My first try doing a grid with overlays so do excuse for any shortcomings!

I should do more challenges, it just helps me grow as a scrapper and I get more layouts done to justify the amount of damages I've been doing to my pocket!

Are you enjoying your weekend?!
I am!
Just celebrated my Dad's birthday and my aunts and cousins came over to stay for the weekend! I'm basking in their wonderful company! You've no idea how much I miss them!

God bless! :)

Dirty Scraps Challenge #3 & some boring life updates

Good Thursday friends!!

I've been really busy with the CNY (Chinese New Year) preparations thus the MIA for a more than a week!
Valentine's day is around the corner (coincidentally on the same day as the first day of CNY) but I didn't get even a single Vday project done!!
I can't believe it but time just kept slipping past me and I've no means to even get proper sleep and rest recently.

So what's keeping me busy?

A swimwear photoshoot last weekend for a Hongkong magazine so I went through the dreadful motions of getting my whole body waxed, doing my nails and toenails, and yes, getting a haircut!!
I've not entered a hair salon for more than half a year! LOL
This shows you how lazy I am!

Preparing for my very first scrap class for little girls below 5, a session for one of the little princesses' birthday!
I have no idea that planning takes up so much time and effort!
I'm still trying to figure out what 5 year olds can do and can't do, just so I won't over or under-estimate their abilities to scrap up a storm!
Any kind mummy with 5 year olds care to share more on that?

I'm also preparing my students for the upcoming Term 1 tests which are definitely going to suck years out of my already-shortened life!
Arrgh, that's the real pain!

And the procrastinator streak in me continues as I have not yet finished organizing my room.
I just don't have the heart to throw my precious books, scrap supplies I don't use often, clothes I don't wear anymore, old gadgets like my first cellphone, and other lovelies with sentimental value..
They mean SO much to me, the thought of housing them in the dumps just doesn't sit well with me.
Can you feel the agony in me?!
Lastly, I've been thinking of starting something that I've been contemplating for months..
I've no confidence if I can handle it but I know my life will be full of regrets if I don't even get it started..
That requires a large investment and I need lots of planning and energy to do it..
So if you've a teeny weeny time when doing your quiet time, will you please pray for me?
I'll be really grateful for that! :)

Anyway..
I still have more Webster's pages to share!

Challenge #3 for Dirty Scrap is up!!
Broken, that's the key word for this week...
we all have broken relationships, whether it be an ex boyfriend, an ex husband/wife, a broken relationship with a friend, or even God.
So this week's challenge is to scrap a broken relationship. Heck you could have broken off your relationship with cigaret
tes, or Dr. Pepper! LOL
Make the challenge work for YOU, after all its' YOUR book and YOUR page, just get down and deep or have fun and make it light~

This is my take on it!

My hidden journaling:
Why should we be depressed over the people of this world who will sadly but surly fail us?
Why should we be depressed over not having what we really want but do not need?
Sometimes, we're just too comfortable with the feeling of being depressed simply because we dare not face the road ahead bravely.
The day finally came when I decided to get over the ruminating, the depression and the uncomfortable comfort of living my life this way.
Days of turning in and waking up with suicidal thoughts have now converted into days of turning in and waking up with thankfulness and the assurance that God & his unfailing love will make things right.





Now go get DIRTY!
