    Hey everyone! How have you been? "Apa khabar" means "how are you" in Bahasa Malaysia or the Malaysian language.

    I think I've introduced myself a few years back but I've gone on a scrapping hiatus. My, I miss this hobby so dearly. My family really enjoys flipping through the books that I scrapped & printed for them, and they've been motivating me to start recording our memories again. You know how awesome that feels like, right? Hehe. All those hours spent on scrapping feels sooo worthwhile when I hear it.

    So how have you been? What's up? I hope everyone is in good health and good spirits. The new year is coming in a few days' time and I'm really looking forward to it. Is there any new scrapping tips on the block that I should know about? Please do share it here!

    Welcome back, Zakirah! It's nice to see you again. :) I think we've been on a couple CT's together in the past. MOC, coming in January, will be sure to keep you on your toes, scrapping like mad, and having fun!

    Welcome back ... how can you not scrap again with feedback from your family like that? Definitely jump in and scrap with us throughout Jan's Month of Challenges (MOC)! Always something to learn or to be challenged by with MOC!

    Welcome back Zakirah! This is exactly the same week two years ago that I got back into scrapping after a two year hiatus, and MOC helped a lot, I'm sure! I completed MOC that year, and last year, and intend to for the third time next month. Good luck!

    Welcome back!
    I don't have any scrapping tips. Except I love the practice I get during MOC! A layout a day pushes my creativity, and skills.

    Welcome back! MOC would be a great way to jump back into scrapbooking & picking up some new tips and tricks.

    My kids LOVE my scrapbooks! They look at them frequently & it's especially been good for my adopted kiddos...I think it's a visual for them to see how they belong in our/their story. It definitely keeps me scrapbooking.

    Welcome back! It's so great to hear that your family has appreciated your time and efforts on your scrapbooks so far! :) I always love hearing that too! My only tip for getting over a scrapping block is to just dive in. Sometimes I find organizing my pictures helps remind me of fun stories I want to capture and then just start a page. It's like riding a bike... you never forget once you get going again. :)
