Challenge #18

Half a year of 2009 is gone,

After a summer break now its time to scrap about it!

MOMENTS CHALLENGE #18

Vacation or an outing is always fun for the kids

However, there are some moments that are not the most pleasant

Document the real story behind the photos that captures

your kid's personality right at that moment

Do include journalling as well

This month we will have the new SK Crew

sharing their interpretation on this challenge

A slight change in SK, only 4 members from the SK Crew

will showcase their layouts here every month

You will see different crews' layouts every month!!

Here are the lovely layouts from the SK Crew

RD Cookie

This photo was taken during our Baguio vacation

I remembered Harvey was so tired and wanted a short nap

You become so iritable and grouchy and just don't want to do anything

but to have the nap

Journalling

"I remember you were crying so hard that day

We were going to go out and visit places in Baguio,

but you were so sleepy that you began to cry

throwing tantrum at us!

Poor baby"

RD Michelle

For most of the time, Sean is a happy go lucky child

God forbid when he gets tired,

this child is most capable of throwing a tantrum in pubic

I apologise for the quality of photos taken but

it was so impromptu that I had just had time to snap snap only

We were busy that weekend

Sean help out in a charity bazaar the night before

and the next we had to wake up early for his art exhibition

which lasted 2 hours

As you can see he was getting tired 

and when I made him finish his rice

he dissolved into tears!

sigh.....sometimes I wish that he realises 

that he is no longer a baby

DT RIA

Journalling

"Celebrating Halloween in Disneyland was not what Bianca

expected it to be

Instead of happy,colourful characters, 

she saw dark and scary creatures, esp at night

While waiting for dinner to be served, mommy, Luis and Nadya

stepped out to see the fireworks,

leaving Bianca and Daddy at the table

She was to scared to go out again but didn't want to be

left behind so just bawled her eyes  out 

until we all got back in time for a spooky Halloween inspired dinner"

DT YATIE

Journalling

"When the Carnival Water Park just opened,

Me & Baba thought it would be fun to take you there

since you love everything water!

Boy we were wrong!!!

There were so many people and the music was too loud

that they were too confusing and disorienting for you

You had to cover your ears all the time and cried your eyes out

That sure thought us not to make assumptions about you!!"

Thank you to those who had applied

It was not easy for me, to pick the DTs

After much consideration, I would like

to introduce you to SK 4 new DTs

Congrats ladies!!

It's my pleasure to have you in the crew :)

Let's learn more about them

Monique Liedtke

"My name is Monique Liedtke,

I live in Netherlands and I'm a SAHM of 3 wonderful kids,

who are the main focus of my scrapping.

I've been married for almost 13 years to Patrick,

who is luckily very supportive to my scrapbooking addiction

I started scrapbooking  about 6 years ago

and become addicted straight away!

I love that scrapbooking gives me a creative outlet

and it makes me so much more "aware"

of every little thing that than I was before started scrapping

I don't really have one style, it depends very much on my mood

However I love machine stitching on my layouts

and I tend to use lots of details!

If you want to know more about me,

please visit my blog

I'm so honoured to be a part of this wonderful group

and looking forward to meeting all of you!!"

Pia Salem-Lopez

"Hi, I'm Pia from Philippines

I'm blessed with the two boys of my life, 

namely my hubby Jeff, and my 4 year old son, Ethan

I've been creating and making pieces of history

for my family since 2005

My layouts are mostly about my son 

but I make it a point to scrap about me & hubby too

I love to scrap using bold and bright colours on my layouts

My layouts and photos, if I may say,

scream with colours!!

And there's one embellishment that I couldn't live

without that would be buttons!!

For me, they are the perfect companions for my boys layouts

My layouts mirror my family's personality - 

we're a crazy bunch, we love to laugh and play!

I'm so happy to be part of the Scrappin Kids Crew!"

Ria Mojica

"I'm Ria Mojica from the Philippines

and I'm excited to be part of the SK Crew!

I have been married to my soul mate, Buddy 

for almost 10 years and have been a stay at home mom 

to 3 kids, Luis, Nadya & Bianca for the last 7 years

I've always into crafts, but I never felt the rush

until I discovered scrapbooking in 2003

Scrapbooking opened a whole new world to me -

new friends, new achievements, new goals,

not to mention shopping!!

I love that it allows me to have a creative outlet

while recording my family's memories

I would describe my style as eclectic, only because

it varies depending on my mood, the photos or papers

that I'm working with or if I want to try something new

I prefer to do LOs that are about fun and happy everyday moments

I made an extra effort to make multi-photos pages

because I have so much to show

I love embellishments and trying out new tools and techniques

I have been making an effort to scrap simpler and use up my stash"

Yatie Tajudin

"Hi. My name is Yatie Tajudin and I'm from Malaysia

I'm a mother to a 7 year old girl

I've been scrapping since July 2007 and LOVE

every single thing about it

From the shopping, to the techniques, 

to the placement of elements......

oh did I mention shopping??

Don't we all love shopping??

I have to say that I don't really have a specific style

but rather a mixture of everything,

depending on my mood when I'm scrapping

I also loved altered arts and just love to try

and experiment with different mediums on a project

But most of all what I love about scrapbooking

is the friends that I've made all over the world

Friends who share the same passion as I do 

and understands that language!!!

I am so excited and honoured to be part of the Scrappin Kids Design team

and looking forward to be working 

on the layouts and projects every month!"

Do come back on 1st July

to be inspired by the new SK Crew!!

SK Sketch #3

This month will be doing a sketch challenge here

Here's SK Sketch #3 created

by our Creative Advisor, Jessy 

The challenge is to do a layout based on the sketch

The layout has to be kids related

Designs are open to your own interpretation

but they have to be recognizable

SK SKETCH #3

Here are our RDs' interpretation on the sketch

Cookie

"I just love doing this layout using the sketch!

I was able to put in several pics of our 

Frappacino break in one layout

We have these phtos taken when

my mom was here for a visit

I had a blast using the Hambly transparencies

on my page as well as the splattering of acrylic paint 

on my base"

Issa

Journalling

"Summer of 2009 

was spent in the beaches of Laiya, Batangas

It was always exciting to bond with the boys

Tattoo session with Luigi 

and just plain water splashing with little Chuy and Daddy"

Wati

"A great sketch to compile Adam's 

1st day of school pictures

Adam was having mixed feeling 

on his 1st day

and in fact, Mama was excited too"

Here are the layouts created by our DTs

Thanks to Aniza, Michelle, Vivs, Wendy & Yvette

for inspiring us the past 6 months :)

Aniza

Journalling

"You are gonna be three soon

My! How time flies!

You have been asking us to buy you a tri-scotter

We told you that you have to be bigger 

to play the tri-scotter

That's why nowadays, everytime you eat or have your milk

you would tell us that you have grown

and really for this!"

Michelle

"Sean had his birthday at Skytrex last month

Eric took so many wonderful photos of him

and hence this sketch is perfect for me

to put all the photos together

I have chose to make a messy layout

and love how I could add on so many

embellishments and making it very boyish layout"

Vivi

"There are no words to say

but your existance has keep us alive

You are the key to our happiness

Let this moment stay forever"

Wendy

"The kids love helping out in the garden,

and when it is time to harvest the vegies

it is even so

Potato picking is super exciting

as you just never know 

what you are going to find

Tiny baby potatoes through to 

giant alien mutations

sooo much fun!"
