Scrap Space New Look

I've done nothing these past three days but arranging and rearranging my scrap space. It all started because hubby wanted to trade my single narrow shelves with his lower wider one. But because the one I got was broader there wasn't much space to squeeze in the original position. So I decided to turn my scrap table to the side and It is now facing the window, rather than being perpendicular to it as it was before. Here are some before and after pictues:

BEFORE

AFTER

As you can see, Nadiah has already marked her place right in the middle of my space with her cat and watercolour :D

The one thing I have to worry about is to not leave any unfinished work on the table because if it rains, and I forget to close the window... then there would be disaster!

My Wall of Canvases

Swim & Slide

Ok, another quick one I did yesterday of Nadiah swimming and sliding (or wriggling around is more aptly put) in 2 inches of water on our flooded balcony one rainy day. I love the pictures that turned out from that day.

Love that DCWV glittered paper that I used.

You Are

I managed to do 2 layouts yesterday. I have not been scrapping for so long that I have loads of pictures piling up waiting to be scraped. I also have not done a layout just for the fun of it. Lately my layouts or projects are done either for a challenge or for DT work. So it was great having to scrap some layouts just for the fun of it for a change.

The first layout I did is called YOU ARE. It's a picture I took of Nadiah in the car on our way back from school and she was just gazing away out the window hugging her cat.







The second layout I made is called YOU * ME. A picture of Nadiah and myself taken during the Eid celebration. I'm always busy taking pictures of her that I don't have that many picture of us together. I love the black Bo Bunny paper that I've used. It's so beautiful. And it's double-sided too. It's ashame that I could only use one side.

Treasure Box

I made this box for a friend's birthday.






As it is a treasure box, of course there should be treasures inside. Yes?


And so I made mini canvas layouts for her which I must say are really, really cute. Scroll down to see how tiny these canvases are.

Eid 2008

I made a clear album for Scrappingville from a kit that I received. It is a 6x6 album and I tried to use lots of paint and limit the embellishments so that the album was as "see thru" as possible.

I think the part that I'm most happy about this album is that I managed to keep the colour theme going which was red, black, white and gold with a touch of green here a there. Incidentally, those were also the colour theme for our family during Eid celebration.

Altered Journal Swap

Last month, I took part in an altered journal swap. There were two swaps. One was for SNC and the other was for ScrappingGlitz.

The one in SNC was for Jessy and this is the journal that I made for her:

The one in ScrappingGlitz, was for Ija. I made this for her:







I received these
from them. The one on the left is from Ija and the right, from Jessy. Thanks, ladies. I hope you like yours as much as I like mine.
