November Is Here

Hi Groovie Girlfriends!

How's it going for you this November? I hope everyone is fine and dandy and enjoying each day despite the unpredictable weather we're having here.

It's also time for a fresh new challenge and let's meet this month's

Featured Groovie Guest Designer

Hello everyone! I am Mei Ling (a.k.a. Unazukin by many who scrap), an active (always busy with something) craft lover from young, who dabble from origami, quilling to stamping and anything else that is related to craft. Among all, scrapbooking is most enjoyed as it embellished precious memoriesat the same time, I get an enormous sense of joy to see my thoughts and ideas being translated into physical layouts.

I love my craft works to be colourful and fun. I consciously challenge myself to do something different from what I've done. When I received Ed's email, I was taking stock of my stash and creatively thinking how to pack more things into a confined space (sounds familiar, doesn't it :> ). And I chanced upon an old photo album where the pages looked like a layout, yet its very minimum.

Before Scrapbooking was popularised

While Scrapbooking is in limelight

So, I invite you to re-visit your very 1st LO (be it formal or informal scrapbook LO) and re-count the spirit while you were working on that LO. Adopting the same theme, re-create a new LO of your current style. Seeing how your own style revolve can be refreshing, for all you know that might well be the start of your creative juice for December's challenge :)

I am glad to have known friends and challenges (super effective to de-stash) from Groovie Scraps Cafe and I am definitely excited and honoured to be Featured Groovie Guest Designer for November. Ed, thanks for the invite!

Featured Groovie Guest Designer

Hello! I’m Janis, a scrapbooker from the Philippines. I am married to a very supportive husband JE and a mother to Nat (4yo) and Phil (2yo). I started scrapbooking April 2008 and have never been able to stop. I do mostly 12x12 pages - - usually with my kids as the subject - - but I also dabble in cardmaking and altered projects from time to time.

My style can very much adapt to the papers and embellishments that I design with although a play on bold and bright colors usually stands out on my layouts (hence, the monicker Ms. Bold and Bright among friends!). I have a penchant for elaborate layouts - - I soo love putting details and textures on my pages. Clustering, layering and distressing are the usual techniques that I use although I am not afraid to experiment and try other techniques. I feel that I am still new at this craft and have a lot to learn in the process.

I am so excited and honored to be the featured Groovie Guest Designer for October. Thanks so much Edleen for the opportunity.

My challenge is to create a monochromatic layout. If you're keen, why not scrap the color that best describes you?

Super September

Hi to all my Groovie Girlfriends!

Hope you're enjoying this Super month of September. We're already into a week of this lovely month and now it's time for another Groovie challenge for you!

Please Welcome our
Featured Groovie Guest Designer

Hi ! My name is Aniza @ momma2omar. I am a Malaysian married to a Singaporean.
We have the most active (not to mention cheeky) 3 year old boy. He is the reason I picked up scrapbooking in late 2007 and never looked back.

As my son turned three on the 30.08.09, I felt a little nostalgic.
I rummaged through my stack of old photos of my son and found one that really spoke to me....
it was the FIRST picture of him taken on the day he was born.
Boy ... time really flies !

Aniza's Groovie Challenge
So, here's my challenge - look for a photo in your stack of old ones ...
Pull out a photo of a special moment/person taken atleast 3 year ago.
Scrap about that person/moment. Enjoy the reminiscence !
One more rule - you must incorporate minimum 3 chipboards

Thanks for playing along !
