In my hometown of Alor Star, I have not met any scrapper as yet. Not one!! There aren't any shops either. In fact most times when I tell people I scrap, they would ask me what that is. When I try to explain, they would say ahh.. and nodded politely but have this blank look on their faces.
And I thought to myself, what can I do to make people "see" what scrapbooking is. So I came out with pocket sized.. or rather handbag sized layouts. Rather thank lugging around bulky 12x12 albums with me, this way I can just pop it in my handbag and take it everywhere I go.
Below you will see that I've made 8 of them. Each are 4"x4" and I try to use different elements and techniques just like how I would make 12x12 layouts.

Here's an idea of how small these layouts really are:
So if you're in Alor Star and a scrapper, please let me know. It'll be great if I can share this love of mine closer to home.
