Sketch #1

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

It's a brand new year

at Scrappin Kids

and we are having a brand new

monthly challenge

It will either be a sketch challenge,

our normal challenge,

or even an altered challenge!!

But of course, it will still be

kids related....since we are

Scrappin Kids afterall!!

We shall start off Jan 09

with our 1st Sketch challenge

Our SK Creative Advisor, Jessy

had come up with our 1st SK sketch

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 #1

Here are lovely layouts from our Residence Designers

Cookie

"This photo of Harvey was taken last X'mas

This is how excited he looks like

everytime he gets something for a present!
His face would surely glimmed with happiness"

This little boy was so excited to wear

his new pair of Crocs and play with his little tank engine

It's blast when this two favourite things come together"

newly formed Design Team

Aniza

Michelle

"Sean my youngest - like all boys loves action

He has been taking Wushu lessons

and was posing merrily for Jessy

As I struggled to get an appropriate

title for this layout,

I remembered that he is born

in the year of the Dragon

hence, I thought it would be appropriate

to name the layout"

Vivi

"Eversince Alya went watching Madagascar 2
as her first movie outing,
she just can't stop humming
to the movie's theme song,
"I like to move it move it...."
During the whole movie,
we were glad she didn't get scared
as a first timer but really into
the movie and laughed along with us!!
She even has a favourite character
from the animation,
Marty the Zebra. How cute!"

Wendy

Journalling

"I always tried to keep Charlie

so clean as a baby,

but my attempts were shattered

when food was involved"

Yvette

"My daughter and I love to eat

out as often as we can

I love that we have the same tastes in food

We have our regular haunts,

usually cafes and restos

that serve pizza and pasta

But there's this one little coffee shop (called Blitz)

that we go to almost

every week, mainly because of their

terrific strawberry milkshake"

Goody Fun

Jasmin

When we were told that December's challenge

was to create a layout featuring presents

that your kids received.

I realised I hardly have any pics of the kids

with their presents!!

Then I remembered I took pics of each of the kids

with the goodies that they received during SK Goody Bag Swap

They each received special goody bags from Wati & Liza

Nadya was delighted to see her goody bag!!!

Journalling

"The kids received goodies during SK Goody Bag

Swap.

Nadya was no exception in receiving

special goodies from Auntie Wati & Auntie Liza!

These 2 ladies never fail to make the kids feel special"

Are all these for ME?
Liza

Aaqil was clueless as to why he was getting so many presents

on his 2nd birthday but he was really happy

when Mummy helped him unwrapped his presents

He couldn't believe that all the presents were for HIM!

Hidden Journalling

"Despite not knowing what was happening,

you were really surprised,

excited and very happy to receive all the presents

You even asked me

"Are all these for ME?"

Simple Pleasure

Wati

Adam received presents from Chris and me all the time

He is always excited and happy to receive it

by Jasmin

"This layout has a special meaning to me.

It features my 1st newborn, Nabillah, who is now 12 years old.

With her, I have gained my first experience as a mother

and I am sure there are more new life encounters

for me as she goes through life.

This layout is extra special as it is also my first layout

for Scrappin Kids as a Residence Designer 

and my very 1st creation as a design team member.

This was when I was still 

"learning how to walk" and trying 

to establish my style of creation.

So the title "My First" in this layout 

definately holds many special meaning to me."

remains my absolute favourite as it always warms up

Scrappin Kids is proud to annouce our
September Guest DesignerEdleen Maryam

Edleen is from Singapore
She is a proud mom to 2 daughters & 2 sons
and had been scrapping for the past 3 years

"Hi Everyone! I'm Edleen Maryam
Wife to Ron and a Stay @ Home Mom Blessed with 4 Beautiful Kids.
I Love Travelling and have been fortunate to do so.
I enjoy Photography since I was young and with all my photos,I would compile them into an album with pieces of paper
cut from magazines and wrapping papers
and that was my Scrapbook collection then.
I started scrapbooking with Acid Free products
in November 2005 and has never stopped since!
Scrapbooking is also a form of therapy for me
as I truly enjoy the process with my number one Inspiration,that is my Family."

Here is Edleen's take on the challenge

"I have 4 Children and looking at their photographs
often reminds me of how I never really
had that many of my own Baby photos.
But the ones that I do, I truly cherish them.
This shot of Muesa and Aneesa truly reminds me
of me being with my own brother.
A sibling moment that I hope will alwaysbe the close bond that they will have forever."

Journalling :

I love this photo of Muesa & Aneesa.
He was about 5 and a half years and she about 12mths old.
This shot reminds me of times when I was a
Little Girl playing with my older brother.
Sadly, I don't have many photos of me when I was little.But the memories remain and I'm Thankful for that.
Whenever I look at photos of my children,
I see myself, a little of Me and Ron.
We are so Blessed and Thank God for Everything.

Here are the layouts by our Residence Designers

Dat's So Me

Jasmin

"This was definitely quite a challenge
trying to pick a photo that reflects me.As I find that in each of my kids, there's a bit about me in there.
After much searching going through
my big database of photos in my computer, I found this!
Syafiee definitely inherited my bookworm trait
and he has this habit of reading till he sleeps.
That was me when I was about his age,
when I found that I must have a read just before I sleep- and usually ended up the book staring at me. "

Journalling
This pic really reminds me of myself
when I was such a bookworm.
That I even read myself to sleep.
And I still do it now that I'm a mom.

No
Liza

"I couldn't resist scrapping this photo of Aaqil
for this challenge and somehow he managed to mimic
my exact actions and tone of voicewhich always neverfails to remind me of ME!!!

Journalling:
This photo reminds me of ME!
This is the same gesture and the same word
that I do and use whenever I don't like you to do any naughty things.

Funky
Wati"Adam is never afraid to try new things.
Just look at this photo, I managed
to capture Adam with my sunnies.
It definately reminded me of myself
who can't leave without my sunnies"

Journalling

Adam loves to dress up and looking cool!

Look at this pic.

He just look so natural with my glasses

He shows that he is not afraid to be 'himself'

Just like me!

U Remind Me Of
Cookie"This year, my husband and I've decided to let
Harvey go to school for the first time.
I've decided to enroll him at the same school
I went to some 20+ years ago.
And it really made me happy to be able to do that.
When first day came.. i was so happy
to see Harvey wearing the uniform I used to wear.
Really make me proud and it reminds me so much of myself"

I Adore You
Issa

"Enzo is one of my miracles in life...
after ten years of waiting and 2 unfortunate pregnancies,
we were blessed to have another bundle of joy.
And as he grow up, I see so much of myself in this little boy..."

Journalling :
"You are very much like Mommy...
Maybe not much in your physical looks
but more on your attitude...
jolly type of person but sooo shy at times,
throws the things within your reach whenever you are mad,
loved to pose and be photographed,
showy and vocal to every emotions felt.
I just adore everything about you Enzo!"

At a tender age of less than one year,

Here I tried creating water ripples to extend out
from the photo and include the green circles to give some fun effect."

But Kakak made sure you were safe in her arms

He called water "Galuh", and he just love

During his last visit to the pool, he is brave to just
float himself in the floater without any help"

I love to see how my scrapbooking style

it’s a little bit of everything.
My family – husband, Jonathan and kids –

& God are my inspiration.
I’m very blessed indeed to have a warm and wonderful family.
We were also given an awesome opportunity
recently to relocate to beautiful Switzerland.
Our family will be here till end 2008
and it’s been a blast thus far -
we definitely have a lot of memories
from Europe that I'll be scrapping about. :)

Other than scrapbooking, I also love photography and baking."

Here's Anne-Marie's lovely take on this challenge

Firstwalk

"A few days back, my daughter walked to school for the first time by herself.
The school isn't that far away (about 7mins walk)
but I think it's a great accomplishment for a girl her age.
I was so proud of my little girl
and I had to document this "FIRST"."

"Time really flies.
It seems like just yesterday
when you were still drinking from your milk bottle
but look at you now, walking on your own to school.
Mummy's so very proud of you."

Proud of You
Jasmin Brahim


"This time I did a layout for my eldest child, Nabilah. For the whole of last week, her school had an Activity Week. She chose to attend a group trip to Temburong. This included staying in the realms of the rainforest and got involved in many outdoor activities which included doing a Flying Fox across a river, doing a Trust Fall, cooking barbecue with her outdoor group, climbing up and walking the "Rainforest Canopy Walk" and of course enjoying the 45-minute boat trip to Temburong from the Brunei River, via the Brunei Bay and into Temburong River. Nabilah is naturally a quiet girl but has grown to be showing more confidence and now in her first year of secondary school. Having her attended this school trip, both DH and felt a sense of pride as this is her achievement - one that will help mould her character."

Journaling:
Your trip to Temburong for a night was your 1st time doing a school outing away.
You did so many fun activities I'd never thought you'll do....Flying Fox, Trust Fall, Cooking, etc.
This is one of many steps to prepare you in life.

Stand Up

"Standing up at 7 months all by yourself"

At Last
by Wati

After Papa coached him a few times,
he finally got the guts to walk by himself.
I was so proud of it and thank God

Perfect Score
by Issa

"Enzo turned 4 last March and the first attempt
to know that he is now ready for school
is an entrance test to pre-school.
I didn't review or teach him before the test,
thinking that this will determine his level of learning.
After an hour of oral and written test,
I was so surprised he got a PERFECT SCORE
and passed for Junior Casa Class."

Journalling
"I never thought that you would get a
perfect score in your pre-school entrance test!
Now I know that you are now ready for SCHOOL!
Ready to learn the ABC's and 123'a of life..."
