Happy Independence Day, INDONESIA

MERDEKA!!!

That's the slogan when we arrive on this day. August 17 is the most memorable day for Indonesian, as it is the day to celebrate the Independence Day. And today, it is the 68th celebration. 

This is my creation for today.

And this is the closer look on the bottle embellishments.

Just Relax - DT ATC

Hi friends,

Meet again and it's Friday. Time to join the ATCs With Attitude Challenge. This time the theme is Just Relax. I used a digital stamp from QKR Stampede.

Sources: Best Friends digi stamp; Bo Bunny p.p.; Copic Sketches; Carla Scallop Oval punch

I printed the image twice. I cut the mat and adhered it with a foam tape. I cut the girls, colored them, and in monochromatic colors for their clothes with favorite Copic markers: BG11, BG13, R81, R85. Then I adhered it also with the foam tape. The sentiment 'just relax' was computer generated. This is the picture from the side.

I hope you can join the challenge, as the winner will get the digital stamps from Sassy Studio Designs and QKR Stampede.

Pop over to the blog challenge, take a look at the DTs creations, then, take your papers, and join the challenge. Have fun, my friends...


**btw, I remember that today is my friend's birthday. I don't meet him for quite long time. I really wish you a happy birthday, my friend, Steve Kessing.. Miss you so..

Heartfelt Thanks - Inspired By.

Hi friends,

I am back from school break vacation. We went to Bali, as you can read in my previous post. I will show the pictures of the vacation in the next post. But one thing I want to tell you, Bali is an amazing place to find handmade things. Two of them were this lovely bracelet and the embroidered white blouse. I love the color combo of the bracelet. I adore white blouses. So at that time, I forced myself to go back to the store to buy the blouse.

From these two things, I was inspired to make these creations.

 

This is the card below. The card stock is linen card stock. The white background is made by a die from Stampin Up! I forget the name. The blue leave is from PTI die cut. The white swirl is from Marianne die cut. As usual, I love attaching this kind of rose. A black rose is so protruding on this card.

And this is the box. It is from Sizzix die cut. The white die cut out is Amira from Lifetime. The  black leaves are from PB punch. The handle of the box is a Japanese mizuhiki cord.

Hope you enjoy my creations. This is also a challenge in my Facebook account. Click here, to join the challenge.

See you later..

Joie - Easel Box

Hello friends,

I am officially on holiday for a week. Right now I am in Bali. We are 14 persons!! My family and my in-laws'. We stay at Aston Nusa Dua for 2 nights and then to Sheraton Kuta for another 3 nights. The hotels are wonderful hotels, facing the ocean. Remarkable! How long have I visited a beach? Wow! It was in 2005, I guess, when we were still in Kalimantan. Absolutely a very relaxing holiday. Look at the picture of mine, in the hotel, facing the beach.. Ohlala... so nice view..

Anyway, I bring my laptop, just to stay in touch with everyone in the crafting world. The world that I adore soooo much.. And today is my BFF's birthday. She lives in Bali as she got married with our high-jump-athlete friend. She managed to make the itinerary for us to spend in 5-day holiday in Bali. So, I plan to give her this easel box. 

 

This is from the side:

 Inside, I stamped 100 pages with 4 stamps for every 25 pages. Take a look at the sentiments I stamped on them. I used MFT stamps.

Here are the flowers I made myself. Aren't they gorgeous?

And this is the sentiment I cut from the pattern paper. JOIE is a French word. She and I speak French ( a bit..)

And this is the box, closed.

Bon anniversaire, happy birthday, Cenil.. Stay healthy and fabulous, as you always do..

I am glad to be able to spend time with the whole family, a rare moment.

Happy holiday to you, too, summer or winter holiday.. ;D

Together Forever You & Me - DT ATC

Hello friends,

It's Friday again, and it's time for the ATC challenge at ATC's With Attitude. The theme is Bright and Cheerful. Well, it is to welcome summer, I guess. Indonesia doesn't have summer. But, yes, during these months, it's hot. Anyway, I can say it's wet summer, because we sometimes have rain during these days. 

For the ATC, I used the tandem bike. Isn't it lovely? I like it so much. Beccy was so very kind specially giving me this image. Beccy's Place is the sponsor for this challenge.

These are the details, so you can see clearly on the ATC.

You can see below that I doubled the basket. I love creating a dimension on the ATC.

It's a cute tandem bike, right? Talking about tandem bike, I..eh, we, my sister, my daughters, my niece and me rode 2 tandem bikes when we spent a night in Semarang 4 days ago. It was just last Monday.. Take a look on the pictures below.

It's me and my second daughter. Look at the bike. It has 3 seats! And trust me, it was so heavy to ride on it as the frontier..

And, here we are, the six of us. Even my little daughter got her special seat between her sisters. Look at the bikes. They have special tiny lamps. Just like a tiny Christmas lamps. Gorgeous..

Oh, we were so happy at that time. We rode the bikes en laughing.. It's been such a long time for me and my sister not riding bikes together. It's the moment I treasure.. And for my daughters, they really enjoyed the moment. For them it's a rare way to spend the school holiday. So, try to visit Semarang. It's a wonderful city to be. Love the holiday. So relaxing..

Pop over the blog, and see the creation of the DTs. Amazing creations. And don't hesitate to join the challenge. It's so much fun making ATCs. Believe me.. lol....

Have a fabulous school break..
Have a wonderful summer, my friends...

Thanks, Miss - Easel Box

Hello friends,

I had a wonderful time making this easel box. No..no.. I mean I just decorated the box. I bought the box and decorated it with some scraps and digi from my talented friends, Deasy Melania, in her web: Deasy Designs. Love this set of digi, Deasy...

Take a look on this picture.

From the sides: 

Look at the details:

I colored the images with a brighter colors than the papers' colors. So that the images will be outstanding among all the embellishments.

And the content of the box:

I printed the images in computer papers. Each pack has 25 pages. I tied each pack with the twine. Look at that Einstein. Isn't he so cute?

Surely Selin's teacher, Ms. Reni, will like this. (so sure, huh?? lol..) Because I know she appreciates crafts so much.

Well, this was the first time for me to decorate the easel box. It's not that easy, using pattern papers like a scrapbooker.. But, I like the result. Not bad, right? Right! ;D And, Deasy has put two pictures in her blog.

Tomorrow, I will make one more for Ms. Peny. That's Selin's class teacher. I will use more the digis.

Until next time, my friends..

Summer Break - DT ATC

Hello friends,

Have you visited my post yesterday? If you haven't, just click here. You can find the challenge of using the twines. Awesome twines.

And today, it is time for ATC Challenge at ATC's With Attitude, the theme is Summer Time. Yes, summer has started, and our friends in the USA and Europe (I think) have a three-month break. Isn't it awesome? I wish we also had it in Indonesia. Second half of June and the first half of July are days for school break in Indonesia. It will take 3 or 4 weeks holiday. Some families will go out of the town and enjoy the break. Me? Well, I really wish to stay in my craft room longer than the usual day. Hehehe..

Here is the my submission for the challenge.

Take a look on the skirt and the "ruffles" made of popcorn marker. I paper pieced the skirt and rolled a bit on each edge of it.

And look how beautiful the effect of the embossing enamel. Love it..

Pop into the challenge and enjoy the DT's creations. Join the challenge and have fun, my friends.
