My Angel layouts (with pics)

I know you've seen my templates already, but I thought I'd show you what they look like with pics in them . . .

These are of our oldest son and one of his cousins, when he was just a toddler :)

Some of my adorable nephews & nieces on Eid-ul Fitr this year . . .

Here's one of my nieces, Saudah having fun on her birthday  . . . And her cousins Saeedah and Aqeelah during a short break from the party - just look how flustered their cheeks are from all the fun, sun and who can forget, the jumping castle!!

                            

My friend Sadiq always sends me the most beautiful pics of his little girls, Huda (baby) & Iman (older sis) so I made this layout of them for him.

Hope you've enjoyed these :) They're now available at both the Crafty Scraps and Scrapbook Max stores.

Stunning Where R U kit

I expected today to be a bit chaotic as my best friend was due to arrive home from pilgrimage. Unfortunately they missed their flight (turns out they were at the wrong airport! Oopss!!!) My plans of visiting my parents this morning also got reschuffled as I forgot she has class this morn. So I'll pop in after I fetch the boys from school. (Hold thumbs their exams go well!!)

So this morning has been a surprisingly peaceful. After the guys in my life headed off to their busy days I settled down to read my email over breakfast and even got some scrapping done! Yippee :)

I used Michelle/Crafty Scraps gorgeous "Where are you" kit . . .

Wishing you all a Fantabulous Day!

My 1st creation now in store!!!

Hi Everyone

I just had to share my good news with you all. My SBM template set for "Who said spooky" is now available in the Crafty Scraps store http://shopcraftyscraps.com/ . . . Wooohooo!!!! I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw them there. It's the first of my creations to be up for sale, so I'm very excited.

All things new & exciting

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to my blog!! >beeg grin< 
I'm just sooo excited today!!! Can you tell?!? Not only has Michelle McCoy welcomed me onto her Crafty Scraps Creative Team, but I've started my own blog . . . How's that for a super exciting day??

Well, how'd it all start, you ask... Well, in 2006 I started out making personalised papercraft cards for family and friends. Even though my nephew's wife tried to introduce me to scrapbooking, I wasn't interested. At the time I didn't think it would be half as creative and fun as cardmaking... Boy was I wrong! 

In March 2008 I hosted a Scrapbook party (for the gift - terrible I know!) . . . There & then the bug had bitten and I was well and truly hooked. Over the next 2 years I spent a small fortune on scrapping tools, supplies & paraphenalia and had a pretty little mountain to show for it. Packing, unpacking and schlepping it all around became more and more of a nightmare though, so imagine my (and my hubby's) glee when I stumbled across Scrapbook Max's website on my return from Hajj in Jan 2010 . . . 

I simply fell inlove with all the creations I saw there. I jumped right in and bought the software immediately. It was a dream come true, so quick and easy to use. In no time at all I was active in the competitions and learning in leaps and bounds. I was well and truly hooked. That's where I met my favourite designer, Michelle McCoy. She was a designer at the site and had her own forum & blog too, of course I followed her there and finding everyone sooo wonderfully friendly and helpful, I haven't wanted to budge an inch since my arrival :) Her blog and store are always so wonderfully full of beautiful kits, fun challenges and gorgeous freebies. Who can resist . . .

So now you can imagine why I am soo excited at being welcomed to the Crafty Scraps family!!!
