Grey & Marroon Christmas

Hi friends,

Good morning...

This early morning, I will travel to Jakarta to meet my daughter. Today is her 18th birthday. Luckily it is a holiday in Indonesia. Because it it an regional election day. I have no idea whether I have a chance to elect the Mayor. Don't know.

This is the card I upload for today.

I will tell you all about my daughter's birthday tomorrow. Have a wonderful day.

Grey and Green Christmas

Hello friends...

Today I had a fellowship at home. All the ladies came to my house. We had learned God's words, and practiced Christmas choir "O Holly Night".

I ordered 'nasi bakar' --> roasted rice. I made mango juice. The mangoes were from the mango trees I have at the front and backyard. And finally, fruits that I call 'rujak'. So yummy.

Then my daughter told me that there would be no school tomorrow. I ordered train tickets to go to Jakarta. Tomorrow is my first daughter's birthday. She will turn 18. Can't wait for tomorrow..

And after they all went home, I managed myself to upload the pictures. I made this some time ago. Grey and green are not real Christmas colors. But I just love the color combo.

Ok, until tomorrow.

Green & Yellow Christmas

Happy Monday morning, my friends,

Today will be another hectic day. I need to go to the funeral house. A hubby of my friend passed away last Saturday. So very sad, as the kids are still little, 8 and 6 y.o. I do hope my friend, Christine, is strong enough to face this. It really hurts when we lost someone we really love.

Then after that, I will have a sewing class. The ladies will sew a wristlet pouch with a zipper. Each person needs much time to do this. I think I will finish just after noon time.

After that, I will be back home, cleaning the back terrace of the craft room. It should be cleaned this late afternoon, as tomorrow I will have a Tuesday Fellowship at home. I don't like messy house.

Later in the evening, I will be on air in the radio. Then, when I'm back home, I will clean the part of the house where we will have the fellowship.

Anyway, this is the card I upload this morning. The image was the one used in ODOI last October.

I love the color combo... See you again tomorrow.

Pink Christmas

Hello friends,

Happy weekend.

Today I upload this pink card. Again, the image was published last October in 'one day one image to color'. Still remember this?

And it turned to this one:

Well, Christmas can be pink. I'll be back tomorrow, with another colors.. See you..

Purple Christmas

Hello friends,

Happy Friday.

Today I upload this purple card. The style was the same as other cards. Yes, I made the similar card style for several images. That's quite easy for me. And as a matter of fact, I don't really enjoy making a crowded card. A simple one will ease my mind..

The image had been colored last month when I joined the 'one day one image to color'. I colored it with Copic markers. I like this Tilda. She's so joyful. And it is still the original Tilda look. She's still tall, and has no chubby cheeks.

I love the color combo....

Day 24 - ODOP Christmas - Let It Snow in Blue

Hello friends,

Happy Saturday...

Yes, I will be busy again today with the Matsuri. I am supposed to give a craft workshop at 10. So I made this card this morning. The image had been colored last month. So it's time to show her in the display.

This is from the front.

The closer look on the image. I colored it with Copic. The blue was not so strong. Just a soft one. I also love this Tilda holding the wreath of the poinsettia leaves.

Have a good day, my friends...

Day 23 - ODOP Christmas - Cirebon-Japan Matsuri and Add a poinsettia

Hello friends,

It's a busy day. I joined the Cirebon-Japan Matsuri in one campus. I like the ambiance, though it was a quiet bazaar. These are my pictures.

 Early before 8 a.m. my assistants and I were getting ready for the booth and display.

 Well, rather than waiting for nothing, so I joined the Shuji class. I love it. I enjoyed it so much.

After lunch time, I was asked to give a presentation about making something. So I taught on how to make a bookmarker. Mine was big enough for the audience to see.

And just now, I just managed my time to make this card. I love the color combo. The maroon is so adorable. The poinsettia was white. Cool...

Take a closer look on the color combo. I love it. Do you like maroon? 

Ok, until tomorrow.. :D

Day 2 - ODOP Christmas - Red & Green

Hi friends,

Meet again.


The card style today is still the same as yesterday. And I also used the image I had colored last month. I colored Joyful Tilda with Copic markers.

The pattern papers were also from MME. I added frantage and green stickles on the hat. Some Liquid Pearl was added on the dots.. The poinsetia die cut was from Marianne Design. The merry christmas die cut was from Lawn Fawn.

Hope you like this card..

Day 1 - ODOP Christmas - Merry Christmas - Dominant Red

Hello friends, meet again.

Today, I made this card using the image I colored last month. It's Joyful Tilda. I colored it with Copic markers.

The pattern papers were from MME Mistletoe Magic, 6x6 Designer Paper Pad. The 'merry christmas' die cut was from Lawn Fawn. The poinsettia was from Marianne Design. Then I poured some frantage, embossed it. Et voila...

I love starting making Christmas cards again..... Coloring, cutting, adhering..and finally sending..
How about you?

ODOP - Day 23 - You Drive Me Coco-Nuts

Friends,
Wow!! Finally the day has come!! The day I had to color images. Hehehehe... Thank you for the 'one day one project' coordinator for the today's theme. I had to color Tilda or Edwin image on a CAS card.

After finishing it, I took a look and thought, it was not that clean and simple because of those palm leaves.. Well.. I had no effort to repeat. So, this is it.

It's a cute image. I don't remember from which set this Tilda comes from. I bought many stamp sets, but, believe me, this was the first time again I colored Tilda.. Hahahaha...

All stamps were from Magnolia. I stamped the images with Memento ink pads: black and green bamboo, colored them with copic markers.

Hope you enjoy my card.... Happy coloring, too...

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.

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. 

Sources: 2 Tilda stamps, Memory Box Window die, PTI Cloud dies, Mc Gill Fern punch, MS Grass punch, Carla flower punch, Copic Sketch markers, Fiskars paper crimper.

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 73 - Delightful

Hello friends,

I want to tell you that some time ago, my friend Ayu, posted a picture of ombre cake on her portable. I was inspired to make a card based on the picture. The color gradation of the cakes was sooo pretty. I've never seen any cakes like those. This is the picture of the cakes.

And this is the card I made based on that picture.

  

Source: Tilda Daisies & Mushrooms, PTI Filigree border die, SU! tag punch, Carla butterfly punch, Copic markers: R81, R83, R85 for the pinks; and B91, B93, B95, B97, for the blues.

Well, we are inspired by any things in our surroundings. I wish to make a green one later on, if I can find in my drawers, the green markers. 

 

Okay, then, my friends. Happy Sunday to you all...
