I am Back - Alive and Scrapping :)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally after a hiatus of a couple of months, I am back blogging and scrapping. I guess sometimes we all need a break from it all and just relax and to do other things. I just didn't feel like scrapping nor blogging for a while. I have even considered to stop scrapping altogether. I didn't even want to take photos and I was just really out of it. For whatever reason, I have no idea.Luckily, I did not give away any of my scrapping stuff away.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A week ago, I was going through blogs and was reading Sasha's blog and I have decided to restart scrapping. This was my first attempt and I must say that I made a mess with the stitching. But then I thought - the mess is ME. Thats what defines me - the imperfect layouts. I had fun with some of the new lines which Momoyo brought in and I must say - it did bring the joy of scrapping back.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD1h3cDGmO16_ZH2PIbGzXtxUHvw4lYi4-Vt0q-ykbM8Gay5qQfglldyjU_rV-qH6IS4vmLAPVbHa-YYM4oYRYLHZIsldMQYtNSHocmMAr5U_gKHAa_QfGRyk9XFJo1JgiahhvjKJjv2gP/s1600/IMG_1825.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD1h3cDGmO16_ZH2PIbGzXtxUHvw4lYi4-Vt0q-ykbM8Gay5qQfglldyjU_rV-qH6IS4vmLAPVbHa-YYM4oYRYLHZIsldMQYtNSHocmMAr5U_gKHAa_QfGRyk9XFJo1JgiahhvjKJjv2gP/s320/IMG_1825.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My next layout was even messier and I had more fun doing it. I am looking forward to more scrapping soon and hope Mr Mojo visits me soon.</div><br />

We are finally back and it is week 3 since school has started and everything is back to our old routine. I finally have some time to myself and I thought I would restart blogging again and maybe start scrapping by the end of this week. I am just trying to sort out the photos and hopefully I can get on it soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Meanwhile I leave you with some pictures of what we have been up to during the summer. The whole summer was spent catching up with chores, swimming practice, football practice and more football practice. Why? The reason being was Sean played at the <a href="http://www.gothiacup.se/eng/">Gothia Cup</a> in Sweden. Not many people are aware of what the <a href="http://www.gothiacup.se/eng/">Gothia Cup</a> is. Its the Football or Soccer Youth World Cup that is held annually in Gothenburg Sweden. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">It was quite an exciting experience for Sean and he was very proud and felt very honoured to represent Malaysia in his age group. The kids did well in my own opinion - they played up till the quarter finals of the Plate Tournament and I think its great for 11 year olds who were battling jet lag and had never played in the World Cup before.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

They are so lovely but I do find them a tad hard to cut through cardstock. The problem is that I can't resist using them but sometimes I just can't get them to cut well on the cardstock. <br />
<br />
Here is another simple cut and paste layout of Sean's favourite memories. I have always known that football is his passion. At his grade 5 moving on ceremony, when asked what was his favourite grade 5 memory, he said the following:<br />
<br />
"My favourite Grade 5 memory was during the U11 soccer tournament at The Alice Smith School. I fought hard and dribbled past some defenders. As I neared the goal, I passed the ball to Najib and he scored. That was our fifth goal that we scored."<br />
<br />
I was very pleased to hear that as I knew that he has found something which he loves doing and I am very glad for that. Here is my simple layout for the day: <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been just catching up with my sleep, enjoying my kids whilst on their summer vacation and just cleaning the house. Scrapping seems to be a luxury at this time. But I am glad I did last night as it did make me in a better mood today. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is so much to do and so little time. I am sitting here just trying to plan my itenary for an overseas trip. Think I better scrap as that is less of a stress and makes me so happy to see my mess translated to a layout.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">By the way, have you checked out the Scrap-It-Lah blog? The latest challenge is up and a nice RAK is to be won. I have decided to take a break from designing at SIL but I will keep updating the blog and providing the RAKs to keep it going.

This is such a big battle and read about her story <a href="http://emkmaltbie.blogspot.com/">here</a>. Of late, I have been lamenting of the troubles at home without the help etc. This is definitely a wake up call for me, its just so minor in comparison to what this brave little 6 year old girl is going through. I have just completed a donation for Emma and I hope that:<br />
<br />
1) You will get well soon<br />
2) You will fight this tumour in your brain<br />
3) You will not give up<br />
4) You will not be in too much pain<br />
<br />
Be strong and we hope to see a positive update in your <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheEmmaUpdates">facebook</a> and <a href="http://emkmaltbie.blogspot.com/">blog</a> soon.<br />

I have not been scrapping much as I have been busy with the house and the kids. Summer holidays have officially started last week and we have been busy with football, swimming and yes, we have been once to the movies which is a great achievement. Here is a simple layout of Sean. He loves to bake and cook and I call this layout : Chef in the Making.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Clarissa is very lucky to be studying in a school that has diverse nationalities and she has so many friends from different backgrounds. With that comes the different personalities that she is exposed to and I am grateful for the experience and hope that she is too. I hope that she will enjoy and cherish the experiences and friendships that she shares with all her friends and that she will learn loads from them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am still very exhausted from my helper's ordeal. She ran away 12 days ago and I was worried sick about her till I found out that she has been stealing money consistently and she has been planning this for a long time. It was all very frustrating as I guess the culture of having a helper in house is quite a touch and go thing. Sometimes you get a good one and other times - you just run out of luck.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, I just managed to sit down yesterday and scrapped this simple layout. It made me realise that I missed scrapping so much. Here is my simple layout for the week and hope that I can still scrap without much spare time on my hands.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

For a potato couch like me, it's quite hard to watch my son's non-stop antics. Sean - if left at home - will get into all sorts of trouble like breaking something in the house with his football. The last time I had to get a plumber in as he kicked the football very hard into the bathroom and broke the pipe underneath the sink. Those are the kind of troubles that Sean always gets himself into. Sigh...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We were at the pool one day when he decided he had enough of swimming and decided to skate? around the pool with his Rib Stix. In the end, he lost control and fell into the pool. Luckily I had my camera with me and I managed to take photos of him when he fell. It was a little blurry as it happened so quickly but you get the picture. Hee hee....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am not sure I like the composition of the layout. But using up the old Hambly transparencies are good nevertheless.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Love the contrast of the colours. The red I find especially brings out the whole layout.</div><br />

After hiking in the rainforest, we found ourselves at a waterfall and the kids plopped themselves down for a rest. I whipped out my camera and tried taking photos of them. Clarissa - being the cheeky one started making all these funny faces and I had a whole load of photos of them doing just that and not a single decent "prim and proper" shot. Sigh....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have dug out some old Basic Grey paper and started working on them. Love the cheery colours and decided to play with more paints and my Zing Embossing powders. This layout is totally inspired by Leanne Pearce who owns the Chip Chop shop. You can see her doileys here. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have also dug out some old Chatterbox chipboard buttons, some of my older buttons which I bought in Bangkok in 2006 and the arrows are from some old rubons from We R Memory Makers I think. Destashing feels good.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope you had a great Mother's Day. Its has been a busy weekend for me. Sean and I were involved in a football tournament on Saturday and I had an impromptu trip down south yesterday but all is well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sean turned 11 yesterday but we did not have a celebration a home. Instead we brought him to have dinner with his friends on Saturday night and he had a good time at our local Italian Restaurant. I am feeling good and ready to tackle the week ahead. Have a great week ahead friends and I will endeavour to scrap more later in the evening when I finish cooking dinner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Finally a more "flattering" layout and this time - He is all that. This time, I managed to use up about 30 over odd brads that I have lying in the house and I am glad. I am happy just thinking about the brads that I destashed and mentally telling myself that I need to destash more of my brads.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have a very simple challenge for you to try. I would like for you to try your hand at altering a canvas. Easy? Well - not so easy as I have a few conditions laid down for you:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1) The canvas must be at least 9 x 9 inch in size</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2) You must use some form of technique on the canvas e.g. I played with transfer medium on mine</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">3) The canvas that you submit for the challenge is ONLY made exclusively for the SIL challenge.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4) All entries must be received before or on the 6th May, 2011 (Malaysian time please)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my take on the challenge. I have used some old photos which Jessy took of Clarissa during a photoshoot back in 2007. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I was trying to scrap all weekend and nothing came to me. Worse still- I started another layout but it came to a complete standstill as the layout looked horrible. Luckily when I got up this morning - I found some remnants of the Websters pages in a bog and I have decided to use them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have bought a printer but have not had time to set it up yet. Dug into my old photos and found this photo instead. One thing that I always try to stress to my kids is that everything that they do - does matter. In this world of watching too much telly - and the phrase of "whatever" is so popular that they tend to forget what the really matters. This became my title that everything matters.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Journalling goes like this, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There comes a time in life when you realise everything that you do - it all matters. You must know that in order to succeed, even the smallest effort that you take in that direction - MATTERS. Hence, for all that you wish for, for your wish to come true, always remember, each ounce of effort - IT ALL MATTERS.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That is it for me today. I am off to get groceries. I have a meal to cook which I haven't done in a long time. I am planning curry chicken and ribs with sea cucumber for dinner tonight. I may even bake a banana cake for my kiddos if I feel super energetic. Have a great Monday everyone and enjoy the rest of the week.</div><br />

My Canon Selphy printer has gone to heaven - RIP printer and I am too lazy to go out to buy another photo printer. I have no choice but to dig out my older photos - whatever is there - will scrap them. :) I chose this black and white photo as I want to play with colours.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I dug out my Claudine Hellmuth paints, my poor Distressed Embossing Powder (yes, the whole pot was unopened), the balance of Prima felt from yesterday's layout, balance of K n Co Que Sera Sera Chipboard, some old rub-ons, some mini doileys from Leane's Chip Chop Shop on Etsy and we are all set for another simple layout. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My kids are of the age where peer pressure is immense and for Clarissa - this is most evident. Two years ago, she let herself being sucked in by the peer pressure and doing things which she does not necessarily like. However, two years later, she is slightly older and wiser and now she tries to resist the forces of negative peer pressure.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know it has been a hard road for her. I certainly hope she will walk her path with strong conviction and with the values that she thinks that is right.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This will be another simple layout. I managed to dig out some old chipboards by K n Co Que Sera Sera. The whole layout had to be colour coordinated with the chipboards. :) In addition, I am glad that I am using some of my Prima felts, a DCVW clear sticker quote and Urban Lily rub-ons that have been sitting in my stash too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have decided to make a very simple layout with a photo taken by Jessy back in Dec 2007. Found another unused rub-on quotes which I have been hoarding and I have decided to start using them. I must admit rub-ons are best used at the time of purchase. I was lucky that this particular still adhered ok but some parts did fall off in the process but I rubbed on quite religiously.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have also used some chatterbox flowers and chipboard corners. This Chatterbox set was given to me by Jessy a couple of years back and it is nice that I am able to take it out again and refresh and use it in my current layout.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAiJ4x-hk94UgYxigdM_mPv5LveT6-kQ-W0-VD8c6CTvhhu170NESaLRi1pRlLq_bL8Naqdjgr26Edqd-PL3MRfzauzG07RxlkHx8U4kclBXBwvfoZZOfNmahIB3g51JnzcHJEEsMhcJh9/s1600/IMG_2355.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAiJ4x-hk94UgYxigdM_mPv5LveT6-kQ-W0-VD8c6CTvhhu170NESaLRi1pRlLq_bL8Naqdjgr26Edqd-PL3MRfzauzG07RxlkHx8U4kclBXBwvfoZZOfNmahIB3g51JnzcHJEEsMhcJh9/s320/IMG_2355.JPG" width="318" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It seems like yesterday I was holding your small body in my arms. As you grew, you raised your arms to me, wanting to be held. When you were sick, my soothing touch made you feel better. Now that you've grown, your hugs are a fleeting memory. But I am comforted that some day, you might need my warm embrace to ease a heavy heart. If that day comes, my arms and heart will be here waiting.</div><br />
