Season's greetings

Hi Everyone

I know that today is a very special day for many of you, my Scrapbooking buddies, as you celebrate Christmas . . .  With that in mind, I couldn't let the day pass without wishing you all the best of blessings, health & happiness and a wonderful day of joy, peace, love, togetherness and special memories. . .

Hope you like the cards I made you!

 

 

I used a beautiful collab kit called Golden Christmas which I bought at Digiscrapbooking Boutique . . . As I bought it at least a year or two ago, I'm not too sure what the full Collab's image was . . . But here are some of the previews of individual designers....

 

 

Wishing all a safe and peaceful festive season!

Till next time, Happy Scrapping!

Happy Anniversary & Hawaiian Party Luau kit

Hi Everyone

Today is my brother's 20th wedding anniversary and I couldn't let the day pass without wishing them the very best of love and happiness. . .

Slamat/Mubarak/Happy Anniversary!! May your marriage always be blessed with the strongest of foundations, boundless love, unwavering support, trust, respect & understanding. May the inevitable storms of life serve only to strengthen the bonds you share & see you grow ever closer & more in love. . . With all of our love always & forever xoxoxo

I scrapped this card for them using DigiDesignResorts Hawaiian Luau kit available here

And here's some more layout I'd scrapped with this kit . . .

 

For this layout I used Carena Design's Oct 2012 free template given for the template challenge at DigiDesignResort Forum

 

The next layout was also for a challenge there - but this time, musing about the perfect holiday getaway . . . Since its been a busy year for me, a tranquil escape to the sea was most appealing . . .

 

I hope you've enjoyed these layouts and will follow my blog . . . Remember, you can get today's kit, Hawaiian Party Luau Collab at the DigiDesignResort store  . . Just click on the links :)

Enjoy the rest of your day!!

Some birthday layouts for you to enjoy!

Hi Everyone

Yes, I know I've been disgustingly quiet. . . Just busy, busy, busy my side . . .  The exams are finally a thing of the past and we're all counting down to the holidays and taking it easy . . . I think I've been looking forward to the holidays even more than the kids this year. . . I can't wait to play catch up on some scrapping projects I've started but never got round to finishing :)

I have been scrapping up a storm even though I haven't been at all good about posting them for you all to see . . .

Like these layouts of pics taken as I celebrated my birthday recently. . . What can I say, I am sooo blessed. . . My family & friends made my day sooo special with all the messages, calls, prayers and wishes :)

 

This layout was inspired by sketch 286 at http://scrapbookchallenges.com/  I found this site a while ago and simply love it. They post a new sketch every week and I've found them to be soo helpful when I want to scrap a pic but don't have lots of time to play and come up with a layout from scratch

 

 

All three these layouts were scrapped using Maria Designs Birthday Party kit . . .

You can find it at this store

Keep an eye on this blog as I hope to play catch up by posting more of my layouts I've done recently . . .

Also, please note that I have FINALLY made a start in posting my Islamic Inspirez cards on the new blog (http://786Inspirez.blogspot.com) so don't forget to bookmark and follow that page so you don't miss out. . .

You can also join me on Facebook, invite Zabra Scrap today!!

Wishing you all the best & happy scrapping

My Eid wishes & Eid card

Hi Everyone . . . 

If you're a friend of Zabra Scrap on Facebook or a member of my Inspirez yahoo group, you'd have received this, my Eid greeting, on Eid... But I thought I'd share it again just in case you missed it . . .

To all our honoured hujaaj, weary but joyful on completing their hajj, may Allah (SWA) grant you all a Haj Maqbool & Mabroer, Insha-Allah, Ameen!! Our hearts & duas are with you . . . To all Muslims, I wish you an Eid Mubarak & Jumuah Mubar

ak!! May all your duas be accepted and your life be abundantly blessed!!! Remember me in your duas on this joyous day, a day with so many blessings all rolled into one . . .

Then I made a more general version too, by inserting a picture of the Kaabah where our family photo is. . . 

I scrapped these Eid greeting cards using the following

 2 kits: 

Available here

My Endless Love by Butterfly Design (recoloured brown paper to make green) available here 

and the Corner - Carena Designs - Charming kit (recoloured) available here 

Available here

What do you think of these Eid cards?? 

Remember, you can contact me at any time to design personalised cards, scrapbook albums, photobooks or other gifts to meet your needs... And they need not be Islamic... Christmas and New Year are around the corner, but there are also birthdays, anniversaries, get well cards ... 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best wishes always

Nabi Muhammad (SAW)'s last Sermon

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatu Dear Brothers & Sisters in Islam

Something I’ve been wanting to scrap and share since last year already. . . Alhamdulillaah, I am so glad that I was able to do it today!

May Allah (SWA) make us of those who turn to the Quran and Sunnah for guidance in all things big and small and who heed the advice of our Beloved Nabi Muhammad SAW. May Allah (SWA) grant the hujaaj ease over the next few hours and crown them with the ultimate achievement of a Haj Maqbool and Mabroer. May Allah (SWA) guide them (and us) to make the important duas that will benefit us not just here in the Dhunya but in the Aakhirah too, Insha-Allah, and may Allah (SWA) accept them all, Insha-Allah, Ameen.

May we remember the sick and deceased in our duas, and also our youth – for whom many challenges still awake. May Allah (SWA) guide them and make them glowing examples of all that is good in Islam. May our salaah be ever treasured by us and our offspring, as precious gifts from Allah (SWA), our alone time with the Creator, Cherisher, Nourisher, Sustainer, Our Rabb!

Allahu-Akbar, Allahu-Akbar. La ila-ha ill-lallah. Allahu-Akbar, Allahu-Akbar. Wa-lilahill hamd.

(Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no God but Allah. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. And all praises are for Allah)

May we always strive to do our best and be the best Muslims we can. May Allah (SWA) guide us all, forgive us, provide for us and grant us all an easy reckoning and Jannatul Firdous and the company of the Prophet SAW, Insha-Allah, Ameen

Wishing all Muslims a joyous Eid and Jumuah Mubarak (in advance)!

Fi amaanillah - I leave you in the protection of Allah (S.W.A.)

Wasalaamu Alaykum Wa Raghmatullaahi Wa Barakaatu
