Miss Photogenic
I love this photo of my niece, Anis (Photo courtesy of Asmah). I decided to use this photo to create this layout for Colourful Creations SYTYCS08 challenge. Following are the rules:
You DO have to make your own pattern paper.NO PAPER PIECING to make your paper! You can use cardstock as your base for your paper, matting, borders, etc…. NO STORE BOUGHT PATTERN PAPERS!!!
In addition to your made pattern papers you MUST use ALL of the following:
Journaling card
Punch
Metal (any type of metal)
Mixed alphas
I decided to stamp the cardstock to create the pattern. I must confess, I have not removed the plastic wrapping off these stamps that I used. I guess this is as good a time to really use up my stash.

Our Memories
This layout is for Colourful Creations "Press Your Luck" Challenge. I chose number 20 and I have to MASKING. I haven't done masking for a long, long time and the first time I did it was with the help of a friend. For this layout, I did a simple Masking using a hand-cut template drawn from a chipboard negative.

Jo & Kel
Both Joanne and Kelly are best friends and came to Malaysia in 2010 because Kelly had a dental appointment. Both hailed from Casino, Australia. This photo was taken at the National Mosque during one of the KL Tour we had and we took the Hop-on-Hop-Off bus. Kelly is my main supplier of Kaisercraft products and one of my favourite Scrapper.Kel's work has been recently published in Australian Scrapbook Ideas and feel free to visit her blog http://www.amothersart.com/ to view her gorgeous work.
This layout is for Colourful Creations "So You Think You Can Scrap" Round 7. The rules is getting tougher but I am enjoying the challenges and looking forward to Friday to see what's coming.
Here's the T&C for SYTYCS07 using the sketch provided.
Use the sketch below to create a layout. You MUST stay true to the sketch. You MUST use ALL of the following items on your pages:
Hand Stitching
Misting
Fussy cutting (List in the gallery what items you fussy cut)
Use these colors ONLY red, yellow, blue, & green, you are not required to use all of the colors.

Here's my take for the challenge:
A great challenge because it really drove me to use misting, finally.

You & Me Together
I honestly love this challenge by DT Andrea Eason of colourful Creations. Her request is very simple - use your stash and create a layout using any seasonal papers a non-traditional way. One of my friends sold me this Webster's Pack 3 years ago and this pack is very, very Christmassy. Somehow, I like the design and I know I can use them in ways that are not Christmas-related. Well, like all my other purchases, this pack went right under my collectibles until I did a spring cleaning of my stash in December 2012. I stll can't figure out what to do with them and I just don't have the heart to literally butcher them. Websters papers are always beautiful. Absolutely love them. So this challenge provided me with the excuse to use this paper eventually. On top of that, I get to use most of my Kaiser flowers which I have in abundance. The numbers have not dwindled as much as I'd like it to be; at least there is movement in reduction.
Here's the challenge (February Use Your Stash-A Bouquet of Flowers):
For this challenge, you must use from your stash:
14 flowers
1 photo
4 papers
And the rules:
Your project must be newly created as of February 4th, 2013
It may not be combined with any other Colorful Creations challenges.
Isn't that lovely?

Cousins
This layout is for Home and Scrapped challenge by Kerri-Anne. Her rule is simple - use Washi Tapes. I have 5 in my collection and for this layout, I used up all five. Thus the mix and match of colours.
The photos are of my husband, Muhammad and his cousin, Ibrahim, from Bengkulu (Bencoolen), Sumatera. The family had not seen Ibrahim for 40 years and when Ibrahim decided to make that trip in 2010, it was the first time I met another another family member from over the sea.
