ATCs Album

Hi friends,

Meet again. Yes, it's Saturday and I have much time to make this album. I got so many ATCs last October 2012, in World Card Making Day. We did swap for ATCs. The participants were my friends in my Facebook account: Dwita's Crafty Crafts. After I got them, I just put them in a shoe box, then forgotten. Last week. I had few days off, so I had time to clean all the boxes from my old house. And I found this shoe box with all these beautiful ATCs inside.

Today, I managed myself to make the album for these ATCs. First I cut acetates and adhered each ATC with double tape. Why acetate? Because I want to  still be able to see the senders' name which were written at the back of each ATC. Then I punched one edge with the amazing Zutter. I made 2 albums using the rings. I put one card stock in front of the first album and at the back of the second album. These card stocks would be adhered to the inner parts of the cover.

I put aside three ATCs, including mine.  Mine is the one with Mini Balerina Tilda. The one with the yellow flower was from Evieta. I like the design. The one with Crown Tilda was from Rina. I like the sentiment. I want them to be in the cover of the album.

Then, I made the cover. It's quite easy as it is my favorite one to make a book cover. I used a gift paper wrap.

This is the result of the cover from inside. I already adhered the card stocks of each album to each inner part of the cover.

This is the look from above. You can see clearly there are 2 albums.

This is the look from below.

This is the look from the side.

Then I printed the logo of the Card making Day. Unfortunately the printer didn't work  good. The result was not satisfying. But that's okay.

So, here it is. The cover of the ATCs album.

And this is from the side of the book.

Now they are safe from the dirt and dust. And everyone just need to open the album to see those beautiful ATCs from wonderful friends of mine. I adore craft world!!

What do you think? Where did you put all the ATCs you got from swapping? Make this easy album, to let others see the beauty of ATCs. I really enjoyed making this album. Though it is so simple, and not as the scrapbookers make, but I like the result. Why don't you make one...

Have fun, my friends...

Photo Album for Ethan

Hello friends, 

I made this photo album for a friend of mine, Hanny. She is an online seller in facebook. I happen to enjoy everything she sells. Hehehe. She just delivered a  baby boy. So I decided to make this album for her. This is for the first year of her baby. I didn't embellish much, because I know Hanny can do much better.

This is the cover of the album:

Sources: Magnolia baby boy stamp, MS border punch, CLD Doily die cut, PTI alphabet die cut, Marvy star & carriage punch, SU oval punch, Kaiser p.p., Crate Paper little boy blue p.p. for the whole album, Zutter bind it all

I used these papers inside:

Lovely papers. Hope Hanny likes this album.

See you again, friends.

Photo Album for a Baby Girl

Hi friends,

As I promised yesterday, this is the post about the album I made for a baby girl. Zutter has made me addicted to make albums. Hehehe. This is an album for Aloisa's mother. She just delivered her pretty baby last month. She ever learned how to make a photo album from an ex wedding invitation. So, I pressume she knows what to do with this album. Ok, let's take a look at these pictures.

This is the front cover.

 These are the insides. I only managed to insert 8 pages. These, I hope, can accommodate pictures month by month of the baby.

 These are the embellishments to be used in the album Just cut them one by one and adhere them on each page. Easy does it, right? 

Sources: Magnolia baby stamp; Pattern papers are all from Kaiser Crafts; Zutter ring binder; SU Tab punch

I hope Maia, Aloisa's mom, will be happy to receive this and take the "free" time to complete this album along one year. 

I shall be back with a photo album for a baby boy.. ;D

Have a nice day, my friends. 

Coloring Album

Hi friends,

Have a pleasant start of the week.. 

Do you remember my last post? I went to Jakarta for a short break and celebrated my Mom's birthday. Before going, my youngest asked me to make a coloring book with Hello Kitty pictures on each page. She loves HK images. So I searched on the internet and found some pictures of HK. I printed them on white card stocks. Then I made the front and back cover of the album. They are made of thick card stock. Surely it will make the coloring so stable.

The front cover. I stamped her name on it.

 One of the adorable pictures. Selin also wishes to have this pair of roller skater. (later, young girl..) 

     Selin colored the images with coloring pencils. Her elder sister, Sisi, helped her. Sisi is a student in Global Art, a place for coloring and drawing. I think the coloring of Global Art's students is predictable. They do some layering in coloring images. ;D

This is the back cover.

It is so much fun to make any albums. Zutter really helps sooooooo much.. I'll be back with another albums tomorrow. See you..

Birthday Goodies - Mini Scrapbook Album

Hello friends,

As I promised yesterday, this is the post of the goodies for Selin's friends on her birthday party. 

INTRODUCING, my newest tool: ZUTTER!! It has made my work so much simpler, easier and faster, and most of all, less less less expensive.. Yipeee...

 

The pattern papers were the ones I bought some years ago, when p.p. came first in Multiply. And I just had the right time to use them all. So happy, that those pieces of paper finally went out of the big box.. ;D

Let's take a look on each picture below.

The albums on the down right were for the teachers. The rests were for her friends.

 

I made 9 albums for the boys.

I made 14 for the girls.

Hope the mothers of Selin's friends can manage their time to do scrapbooking with their kid. It'll be a fantastic time to bond between mother and child.. Hope they enjoy the albums, as you do, too, seeing all pics here.. Have a good time, my friends.

Day 71 - Sending You Lots of Hugs

Hai friends, meet again.

I took a short vacation to Batam Island and then crossed the bay to Singapore. I, actually, accompanied DH who had a meeting in Batam Island. I never expected to meet the ladies who are my friends, too. They also joined their DHs. So, with no hesitation, we went to Singapore by a ferry. We visited Universal Studio Singapore. Only in the outside. We didn't wish to go inside and enjoy the games. Noooo!

 

My friends just followed me to go to "Spotlight", a craft store in Plaza Singapura. That's all the store I could visit that day. On the following day, I went to SG with DH. Just the two of us. We had a wonderful time being together. That's "our time" that we've missed for almost 6 months.. Hehehe.. I, of course, "forced" ourselves to visit JDA and Art Friends. I bought some stamps in JDA, and most of all I love my new Zutter!! Ohlala, I finally have this tool. I had been dreamin' for this for almost a year. And the good thing, Zutter was in promo!! Only SIN$ 99 for all, incl. the book and the bag. Lovely! 

 

Before leaving Batam Island, Kiki Emeralda visited me. We exchanged some goodies, and I love her tea bag folding card. You know, it's good to have friend (s) wherever we go. In Singapore, I failed to meet Sylvia Chua, my Flickr friend. But she really helped me with all the MRT ways to go everywhere. Moreover, she helped me finding the best store to buy SLR camera!

Back to Jakarta, I visited Kinokuniya and bought a card magazine. I was inspired by a card in the magazine, Card Maker, and this morning I managed myself to a little imitate it. This is my card.

Supplies: SU! flower stamps & leaf die cut, Hero Arts sentiment, p.p.

The flowers are from scraps. Since I was not in the mood of coloring, so stamping on pattern paper is a solution. Quite quicker and easier with good result. 

A little imitation is okay and fine, I think, as long as we mention where we find the original one. The flowers are quite different. Because in the magazine, it used Hero Arts flower stamps. So, what else are you waiting for? Try to use all you have and create something. For me, there is no words such as "I can't". Everyone can do something if he/she wants to. 

Challenge for the card:

Divas by Design #44 - Anything Goes

Shopping Our Stash Weekly #60 - Precious (the left scraps that I have no more)
The Craft Place Challenge: Anything Goes

Ok, then. Enjoy your day and keep creating.
