Gentle Beauty - DT ATC

Hello friends,

Meet again in ATCs With Attitude Challenge. This is a fortnight challenge. The theme is "Frame It". I used the digital image from  called "White Queen". Anyway, I colored her purple.. lol...

This is the ATC.

Sources: Copic V15 and V17, and Stickles Diamond and Purple.

Join the challenge here. ATC is a very simple thing to make yet need to limit the embellishments to put on.
Go to the blog, and find the DTs' creations. Have fun, friends.

Ribbon of Hope

Hi friends,

Here I am with an ATC for the Guest Designer in Crafting For All Seasons Challenge : Think Pink.
This challenge is to remember Dawn, the founder of that challenge blog who passed away because of the breast cancer. Dawn was a passionate and patient person. She never asked me more or said impolite words to me when I was a DT in that blog.

I used a free digi "Hope" from Beccy's Place. I used the colored one, cut it and adhered it with a foam tape on the ATC. I stamped the sentiment from MFT Stamps using Distress Ink Vintage Photo. That it also one of my favorite sentiment stamps. 

So, here is the ATC.

May Dawn rest in peace and may her hubby and children are safe in the palm of Jesus. Thanks for Bianca, for asking me to make something for this special challenge. I was honored to do that. Though it is just a simple ATC, hope this will also make the friendship nicer. Thanks to you all...

Don't hesitate to join the challenge. It is so much fun to make ATCs. 

These are the details:

 

The flowers were paper pieced (my fave creation)

The leaves were colored with Copic Sketch YG25

 

Font from computer: Bradley Hand ITC (love this so much)

 

Just if I have lots and lots of time to create, I shall make more and more.

Life has changed a little bit, since I joined this school. One thing for sure, the time and energy of mine, in the meantime, don't get along. lol...

Have fun, my friends...

It'll Be Okay

Hello friends,

Meet me again. This time I come up with the ATC for this fortnight challenge in ATC's With Attitude, the theme is April Shower. The image is from Bugaboo. Ava is as beautiful as other girl in the stamp world, I think. Take a look..

 

Sources: Bugaboo: Ava umbrella; paper from October Afternoon and Kaiser Craft; MFT sentiment; markers

First of all, I printed the whole image on the base of the ATC, the checked green paper. Then, I printed the dress image on the printed paper and cut it. I printed the face image on a white paper and cut it. I inserted the "neck" under the upper part of the dress. It also happened for the hands and feet. I doubled the umbrella.

Come to the blog and join the challenge. Again, I would tell you, it's so much fun making an ATC. Enjoy it..

See you again, friends.

Melancholy Spring

Hello friends,

Meet again. Yes, teaching at school has really occupied me. I think this is most crafters will do. Crafters will try the perfectness on the creation. This perfectness is carried away to the teaching of mine. I always try to do the best in the class, wishing nobody to complain and everybody understands. So, I have made myself so occupied with games, quizes, etc. Hehehe.

I could only managed myself to making ATC. Oh, and time flies so so so fast. It's already April. And here is my submission for the challenge in ATC's With Attitude, and the theme is SPRING.

What's spring? I know the meaning, I know how it looks like, I know the smell. But, I don't have that season in Indonesia. Sometimes it's not easy to translate western seasons into my creations. What I know is that spring has flowers. For this ATC, I think I missed the colors of spring. I just realized it after I posted in the DT blog. My friend showed her spring colors, and voila.. I had to color the image with those spring colors. Anyway, this is my ATC, whatever it is, I do hope it brings the spring ambiance.. (self defense? hehe..)

Sources: Sassy Studio Designs image: Fair Lady; CLD Window and leaves die cut, Copic markers, some flowers, sentiment from computer.

I googled the word 'spring', to find the other word that can accompany the word 'spring'. I found this melancholy spring. Hehehe..

As usual, I did decoupage on the ruffles of the umbrella.

 

After I uploaded it, I took the picture again. Take a look.

Hope you can join the challenge. Come to the blog, and check each creation of the DTs. Making ATC is one of the amazing things you can do. Because you only need to decorate a small piece of paper. Though, we need to think carefully, because sometimes we want to put many embellishments, where the area is not that big. :D

Have fun, friends.

Easter Blessings - DT ATC

Hi friends,

Meet again, after two weeks absent. I was really occupied with so many things. I traveled to other town to teach the kinder teachers. There were 400 teachers! They learned about recycle crafts and also corrugated crafts. 

Here is my DT submission for ATC's With Attitude: Easter. 

I used image from Delicious Doodles: Away with bunnies.


As usual, I did some paper piecing on two brown bunnies. Take a closer look.

Don't hesitate to join the challenge. It's Easter time. Time to reflect all what Jesus has done to us. Be thankful.

How do you celebrate your Easter? Me? I think I just join the Sunday school event. I made Easter invitations for kids in our Sunday school in church. I made 250 pieces. The other lady will make the announcement papers and insert them in each bookmarker. Inserted behind the egg, rabbit and the grass.

Hope the kids will come and join the celebration. My own kids will participate in the child choir and child music ensemble. They will sing and play the songs well, for sure. :D

Ok, see you in this challenge.

Come and Grow Old With Me - ATC

Haaaaaiiiiiiiiii,

Back again to blogging. Whew! Why does time fly sooooo fast? From getting up to going back to be, the hours are in marathons. I missed the last ATC Challenge. And starting this March, I go again, make ATC for the challenge in ATCs With Attitude. This is now ATC blog only.

My image is from Bugaboo. The original digital image is in squares like this:

I cropped and resized it into this one: 
 

I did some paper tole on the petals of the sunflower. Just 3 layers.. And for the brown center, I adhered it with a foam double tape. Take a closer look..

The sentiment is so touchy.. I want to grow old with my dearest hubby. He grew up 6 months older that I did. Hehehe. His Junior High classmates were my High School classmates. And some of my Junior School classmates were his High School classmates.I just found our pictures.

We were in the same company where where we met, 17 years ago. So young and innocent (?).. ;D

 

We were in Korea, 3 months ago.

I just hope we all are healthy. That's the best asset to go through this life, right?

Ok, don't hesitate to join the challenge and check out all the DTs creations. Making ATC will make you be more creative, because you need to be specifically put things on this very small piece of paper.. Try one..

See you around...

A Little Something On The Pink

Hello friends,

Well..well.. First of all, Gong Xie fat Chai, for you who celebrated Chinese New Year. Me, not. But I joined several CNY celebrations, such as at school this morning. There was a fashion show, where the dress were made of newspaper. take a look on the picture below. It's so fun.. They are Matthew and Natasya. They are my students in English Proficiency Program. Yes, I am their English teacher.. ;D

  

I joined the celebration only for an hour and went for the Tuesday Fellowship. And this late afternoon, I managed myself (a.k.a my time) to make a card for the February Challenge in my Facebook Account: Dwita's Crafty Crafts. The theme: "A little something on the pink". I made this card as a sample.  But I couldn't catch the pink color in the picture.

I love flowers. So I made white flowers to be that "a little something". Look at the detail of the flowers.

If you happen to have a Facebook Account, don't hesitate to "add friend" mine. You can join the monthly challenge there. As a participant, you will ALWAYS get goodies. International entries are welcome. Isn't it fun? I'll be waiting for your creations..

Until then, friends.

Hello from me..

Hello friends,

Wow!! It's been such a long time since the last post. I must say "Happy New Year" to all of you. Better late than never, right?

I've been very very busy, moving from the company housing complex to our own house. It is still in the same city. We must move because my hubby has been promoted to work in the office in Jakarta. So, we must hand over the house back to the company. Luckily, our own house is ready to live in. It's a house that we have built for 5 years.. Hehehe, such a long time, hee? It is still time for me to arrange again the things that we brought from the old house. Some of them are still in the boxes. I must find proper time, because now I am also an English teacher for English Proficiency Program, as well as the Director of Study for that program. What a work! The program is from ACT Education, USA.

Before that, I spent winter holidays in Korea, where I finally could touch the snow! Ohlala, what an amazing moment. Especially the snow in Nami Island, where the celebration of our wedding anniversary was taken place. Amazing holidays. My kids were thrilled to go abroad this long, and used some fancy jackets.. ;D

These are the pictures when we were in Korea.

My hubby and I in the snowy Nami Island, on December 14, 2012, 16th celebration.

Until a week ago, I forced myself to make this card. This is for my friend, Rina, who was having her birthday. She also did some giveaway.

The story of the front card: I came by my bike bringing some flowers for Rina's birthday. Rina was waiting for me and keep on peeking from the window..

This is the inside of the card: 

You know, I made this card for 6 hours. Some time on Friday and some time on Saturday. Hhehe.. You can say that this is my very first card in the year 2013. (!)

Hope the card arrives safely and Rina likes it..

I do hope I will have more time to create something. The commitment of One Card A Day in 2012 seemed unfulfilled. Anyway, let's try our best to use all the stuffs, all the tools and all the energy and time we have.. May God bless you always...

Big hugs,

Day 100 - Wishing You Happiness (last cards of the year)

Hi friends,

It's good to meet you again. 

My commitment for "A Card A Day" seemed not be fulfilled. Up to today, I was only able to make 100 styles of cards. This means today is the 100th day in that commitment. 

This set of cards is a birthday card style. My sista ordered 50 cards. She wanted to give (again) each colleague a birthday card in 2013. Actually, this style is so simple. It didn't take so much time. I made them only in a day and a half. 10 cards for each color.

These are the cards.

There's not much to say. I must make another commitment for 2013 to make not only cards but also more creations. I also hope that all of you have time -plenty or little- to create something every day (if possible) and use all the tools, stuffs and everything we possess in our own craft room/table. Enjoy more in 2013, friends.

Have a pleasant time in welcoming the year 2013.

See you again, my friends.. Love you all.

Day 99 - Joy To All - DT ATC - Any Christmas Colors

Hope you enjoy my cards. Happy Saturday evening...

Day 97 - Just A Little Christmas Note

Hi friends,

It's good to make Christmas cards again. I managed to make fifteen cards. Five kinds and 3 each. Someone ordered these to be sent to her friends in Japan. This is the third set. The styles for the first and the second ones are the ones I made in the past.

The pattern is the same as this one. I changed the image with christmassy Tilda. I love this image. I still enjoy coloring in simple way. Also for the embellishments, I don't really like putting so many embellishments. Still love the simple ones.. ;D

Sources: Magnolia stamp; MD poinsettia dies, CP1 snowflake punch; Spellbinder Label 8; MS border punch; Copic sketch markers

This is the set. I made three cards with the same design but different colors. I colored the image with Copic, then I tried to find the similar card stock color.

 

Hope you enjoy my cards.. Happy weekend, friends..
