another Christmas layout

Hi all..

if you live in Jakarta.. pheww.. these past couple days (including now) the weather has been crazy!
We have mini thunderstorm, lots of winds, lots of tree fell, and that lead to lots of traffic!
The rain just come and go as it pleased, very heavy rain with lots of wind, and then wait another half an hour, the rain is gone again.. pheww.. I'm not sure whether I like rainy season or summer season better..

Here's another gazilion of layout that I made during the holiday, they all are commissioned. So again, if you want to give something to someone dear who has everything, here's your solution! Just come to me with a photo, and I'll make these layouts with the frame included, for a fee.

This is a Christmas layout that all the parents are giving to the teachers at school. I'll admit this particular layout is not my usual minimalist style.. because the base paper itself doesn't call for it. So I challenged myself to use more papers and decorations.. See if you like it.. but I sure hope the teacher really likes it! ha ha ha..

well, happy wednesday-ing!

It's time to get back to school for my daughter, and I have to wake up early in the morning after these 3 weeks holiday.. it's like i just want to sleep some more.. the rain makes it cozier to just stay in bed.. :P

And... third times' the charm!

Here's another layout of OA: Sidewalks, and I scrap about my daughter's playing bubble.
You will see that a lot in my layouts about my daughters playing bubble, they love them so much.
What better papers that matched the playfulness of kid's playing??

one october afternoon layout

Hi again..

I think I'm going to blog 3 times today, just because I have the project all lined up and ready to go.
Been wanting to play with October Afternoon: Sidewalks series paper, because they are so fun and so playful! I especially love the flower paper.. I can just cut them and use them everywhere on my future layout!

Here's the layout that I made for my friend's birthday (also Claire's teacher). I made them a while back in November I think.. i know i know.. now it's new year!

Here's the layout and the details.... you can click on the photos to view them larger

this is the flower paper that I'm talking about

close up you can see lots of layers of Sidewalk papers

Love using the mist spray ink from Tattered Angels. The effect is subtly shiny, which I love. Try them, splash them on your page. See if you like them..

Christmas layout

Hi all..

as promised, this is one of the layout that I made during Christmas, for the teacher's appreciation gift.

I use papers from the Cosmo Cricket Christmas and Crate Papers Christmas, which I have in store as well.. just in case that you're already caught up with your Christmas photos and want to scrapbook them.. :)

Enjoy!

Lizzie's birthday

Hi all..

Today since I've got a bit of time left in the middle of before going somewhere else again.. (for me, week end is the busiest time for me), I want to share a layout for Claire's friend's birthday.

It's Lizzie's birthday, and as usual, if there's a kid's birthday, what I do is I made the layout and give it to them, for them to remember it by..

I'm using all the scraps that I have to make this. The banner is from October Afternoon's Sidewalks banner. I stitched the tickets and the hearts, more effort there, but the rest is layers of scraps.. hope you enjoy them.

I'll see you next week!

Happy

Hi all..

This post is going to be real quick.. I just got back from a girl's birthday party, and took photos for her.
It's so much fun! All pink and dolls, and oh so cute. Can't wait to share some of the photos, and also the end product, which will be a scrapbook birthday album!

For now I'm sharing one of my layout.. it's now the picture of me..

The base is using Simple Stories, one of the baby's steps, I use the other side of it. Then the huge dark red flower is also from Simple Stories generations. The rest is using my scraps, and the title, happy, is using american crafts thickers, made for Studio Calico. The half circle is using my October Afternoon's scraps as well.

Have a great weekend, y'all!

time..

Hi all..

what I feel these days is that there's not enough time for me to do all the things that I want or I should do.
I have lots of ideas of doing scrapbooking, but not enough time to do it.
Then I have to tutor my daughter learning blend in phonics, and I need lots and lots of time to do that.
She's kind of behind in class, and I'm the one who's responsible to catch it up with her together.
Sigh..

But today I wanted to share a layout that I did weeks ago as well, hopefully you enjoy them.

I'm using Sassafras latest collection: Sunshine Broadcast. It's a beautiful collection, and I keep using it over and over again. Love the paper, it's so versatile to use for backgrounds. And some October Afternoon paper (the right side of the paper, the orient)

Do you know that Sassafras is not going to manufacture papers anymore? sigh.. all their collection I have to hold on to them then..it's going to be a collector's item.. :)
Instead, Sassafras is going to be a design company, and they'll design for Studio Calico, and Studio Calico is also the one who's going to manufacture their products.

That's that for today.. and I have to run.. ta ta..

layout using October Afternoon papers

Hi guys..

This is another layout that I made for a friend, using the new october afternoon papers. Love the papers so much. Base of the layout is using Crate Paper Farmhouse collection: accent cuts. I'm using the backside of it.

I guess that's going to be my last post for a while.. I'm going out of town for 4 days, and when I'm back, I'll share some more of my books and layouts while I'm gone..
Hope you have a great week!

Birthday layout

As promised, this is another birthday layout that I made for Claire's friend, Dendy, who had his birthday party at school.
It was so fun, his mom decorated our classroom full of baloons and planes, and not only the kids have their own lunch, the moms were also given lunch! For me it's a very generous birthday hoopla, and the goody bags are filled with Shawn the Sheep dolls, wood bucket princess and thomas, quality junk food (oreo cookies, van houten chocolate, yogurt, pocky)
I think the quality junk food won me over. ha ha ha..

Here's the layout that I made and gave to them.

The splattered ink is using the new October Afternoon ink and Tattered Angels mist. I really love the effect of the splattered ink. The rest is using all of my scraps paper.. :)
Enjoy..

Too bluish to find a title for today..

Both my daughters are sick yesterday, got a case of throwing up whatever they ate...
Went to the doctor and whatdaya know? He said there's been cases like these for 2 months in his practice.
So we got them some medicine and oralit.. and thankfully today there's no throwing up..
But my biggest is very clingy and moody and not active at all.. doesn't feel like eating, but only wanting to drink, so that's still good, I suppose..

Feeling sad and blue...
Isn't it weird that if they're both so energetic and running around I'm like, "hey, quit it you guys! be careful!" and when they're like tired and not moving at all... I'm like, "what's happening? where does it hurt? are you okay? you sure you don't wanna eat this cookie?" ha ha ha.. being a mom.... :)

So here's a layout of happy times, the running around times...

rilakuma washi tapes! very cute....

Hope you guys are in a perfect health!
