Hi everyone! I\u2019m Zakirah Zakaria from Malaysia.<\/p>\n

\"4in14-zakirah-1\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019m 26 years old, single and child-less, so the kids in my photos & scrapbooks are my nephews and nieces. I don\u2019t really feel comfortable taking selfies and don\u2019t take a lot of them, unless I really have to (like for profile pics & tracking my moods). I\u2019m also a shy person, so the only time I feel comfortable taking pictures of myself is when I have my family in the frame too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"4in14-zakirah-2\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I can\u2019t just pick four, but since I have to, I\u2019d go with the latest ones that I really love.<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  1. Let’s Play!<\/a><\/b>: I\u2019m a paper addict and love layering papers, and this page shows it. The layout design was inspired by this sketch<\/b><\/a> from CreativeScrappers and I used A Happy Family: Playing Together<\/a> by Traci Reed & Shawna Clingerman.<\/li>\n
  2. My Guy<\/b><\/a>: I love the photo of my nephew, Fawwaz, smiling so sweetly. When Shawna created He’s All That<\/a> & He’s Handsome<\/a> add-on, I knew it\u2019s perfect for the photo. The papers & embellishments in the kit are awesome I wanted to place ALL of them on the page! I also used Cindy\u2019s Set 163 template<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Lil’ Cupcake<\/b><\/a>: I really love the Ain’t Life Sweet<\/a> kit by Jenn Barrette because there\u2019s so many beautiful patterned papers in it! And Zoliofrope\u2019s Lancaster template<\/a> template was perfect to showcase them, hence this page was born.<\/li>\n
  4. Toy X-Change<\/b><\/a>: The new Inspiration Corner is really a great place for inspiration! For this layout, I was inspired by this beautiful layout by Janelle (NellahBean). I used Zoe Pearn\u2019s Neon Crush kit<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
    \"4in14-zakirah-3\"<\/a><\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    1. Paint Washed Alpha by Kristin Cronin-Barrow<\/a>: I love this alpha because it\u2019s very easy to customize it. I used it on this page<\/a> for Think Outside The Box challenge.<\/li>\n
    2. Boy Wonder by Shawna Clingerman<\/a>: I think this is a must-have kit if you have boys! There\u2019s tons of great papers & embellishments in this kit and I just love scrapping with it.<\/li>\n
    3. Torn Frames #1 by Ju Kneipp<\/a>: This torn frames pack is great for adding realism on your page. It\u2019s very easy to use too.<\/li>\n
    4. Background Noise: Watercolors by Jenn Barrette<\/a>: I\u2019m into Art Journaling lately and have been adding brushes into my stash. These watercolor brushes by Jenn Barrette is the one that I find myself using again and again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
      \"4in14-zakirah-4\"<\/a><\/div>\n

      \n
        \n
      1. Terengganu<\/b>: This is my hometown! I\u2019m from Besut, Terengganu – a small village which is located nearby a few islands, like Pulau Perhentian (one of my favorite vacation spot).<\/li>\n
      2. Negeri Sembilan<\/b>: I studied at a boarding school in Labu, Negeri Sembilan from 2000-2005. That photo is the place where we’d gather every morning on weekdays before heading to our classes. Photo credit: http:\/\/asmaddini.blogspot.com<\/i><\/li>\n
      3. Kuala Lumpur<\/b>: My brothers and sisters moved to Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur in the late 1990\u2019s (I think 1998). I still go to KL once in a while for shopping. My favorite malls are Mid Valley & KLCC.<\/li>\n
      4. Cyberjaya<\/b>: This is where we\u2019re staying now since I was 18 or 19 (I\u2019m very bad at remembering dates!). Our house is located next to a man-made lake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        <\/div>\n
        <\/div>\n
        \"4in14-zakirah-5\"<\/a><\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        1. Once Upon a Time<\/b>: I started watching since the first season, and my favorite villain ever is the Evil Queen, Regina. I even scrapped a page<\/a> about it!<\/li>\n
        2. Major Crimes<\/b>: I loved The Closer, and Major Crimes is even better. It\u2019s a different kind of police procedural drama (in my opinion). My favorite character is Lt. Provenza.<\/li>\n
        3. Perception<\/b>: This is where neuroscience meets crime. I love Perception because it\u2019s different than other crime drama that I also watch (like Major Crimes & Hannibal).<\/li>\n
        4. Hannibal<\/b>: A little bit like Perception, but Hannibal is where psychology meets crime. If you love watching how a twisted psychiatrist manipulated his patients into becoming serial killers, then this is the show to watch. Warning: contains scenes of human organs being cooked & served.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
          \"4in14-zakirah-6\"<\/a><\/div>\n
          <\/div>\n
          In my teens, I used to wear patterned shawls but as I get older, I\u2019m leaning more towards solid shawls. There\u2019s something about its simplicity that makes me fall in love with them.<\/div>\n
          \n
            \n
          1. Color blocking has also hit the shawl industry, as you can see here. I\u2019ve never tried this kind of shawls before, but intrigued I am. Photo credit: NurJannah Collection<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n
          2. Some people love fancy styling of their headscarves, and I love seeing them! However, I\u2019m bad at all this hijab styling. I\u2019d watch a tutorial online and get stuck at the third step and then give up. Photo credit: Imaan Boutique<\/a> <\/i><\/li>\n
          3. Oh, how I love simple hijab styling! This is how I sometimes wear my headscarf. Simple, quick & ready to go. Photo credits: MiaSweetopia<\/a><\/li>\n
          4. This is yet another shawl styling that I\u2019d definitely fail at trying. It\u2019s beautiful though, so I\u2019ll keep dreaming of succeeding trying to achieve it. Photo credit: Shawl by vsnow<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
