Hand In Hand

Last weekend, Scrapbook Challenges DT had a blast! We had our second DT Social with the theme of Olympics. We had games, challenges and questionaires to answer to get to know each other better!

Here's the sample layout that I made for the Swimming Challenge --- which was a challenge that should have transparency and swirl.

Our generous sponsors for the DT Social are :

Catching Up

Work has overflowed and I am underneath the pile. What's worst, it will continue to pile as I take a week long vacation. But... Let it be... I should not think too much anymore.



I am multi-tasking now while my email client does something, I am blogging.

My last sketch blog was 252. I missed 254 while I was on business trip and Brynn posted 255 last Monday. So, let me just catch and post my 2 layouts here.

Sorry for the late announcement, I was out of Singapore and only arrived very, very early yesterday.

Without further ado, the RAK winner is :

Scrapbook Challenges' "Thank You Pamela" Blog Hop

Welcome to Scrapbook Challenges' "THANK YOU PAMELA" Blog Hop!

I am so glad you stopped by my humble abode. If this is your first time here, I am Sookie or Salme in most forums. If you've come by Helen's Blog then you're on the right track coz I am your LAST stop! If you just stopped in, please make sure that you start at Brynn's blog first so that you won't miss out on any inspiration.

This is a very special blog hop because it is dedicated to a VERY SPECIAL person.

She's the very first person who opened the door to my scrapbooking journey.

She has inspired me in the way she lives her life, her faith and in scrapbooking.

She's Pamela Young!

I've been scrapping seriously for more than a year already and I wanted to challenge myself,

that scrapbooking is not an ordinary hobby which I will forget after awhile. It is THE HOBBY with a heart! Something that will keep me going on even after the "honeymoon" stage.

I browsed through the Scrapbook Calls and found Pamela's call for Scrapbook Challenges.

I was quite nervous but I did get the courage to hit the email send button.

My application was a very late one and I haven't registered with the group yet (back then it was in MySpace).

That's why, I was very, very excited to have received Pamela's email that she wants me on her team.

It was my first design team!

Pamela and SC has changed my scrapbooking life forever.

I love Pamela's sketches, helped me create layouts that I won't normally do.

Onto this hop...

Here's the sketch I chose among Pamela's sketches.

It's one of my favorites!

Here's my layout...
