    Hi Everyone!

    Just a quick post tonight :) I was too excited receiving stuff that I scratched my thumb with my beloved cutter. I have been sooo sleepy throughout the day and couldn't wait to open the packages (as they are so meaningful to me reminding that this is my first time having them all after saving some Rupiahs hehe :P) 
    So when I got home, first thing I did was taking my cutter and starting to open the envelope one by one. Well, I got too excited that I accidentally held my cutter in a wrong position and it successfully scratched my lovely thumb on a vertical line and it fits enough for Aurora to stand there :P

    Anyway, thanks to Crafty Crafts, Susan Quilling, Luna Larissa Shop and Dona Shop (Kristika)! 
    I have received your products completely and in perfect condition :)
    Thank you for your great service!

    Hi Everyone.. happy valentine's day to you all!! 
    May you'll be surrounded by love, love and love in your whole life :)

    Everywhere I go at every shop I passed by they put hearts accessories, not to mention pink teddy bear, red roses and pink hearts all because of this Valenttine's Day. I must say that personally for me everyday is Valentine's day :) but then again I find it great to have at least one day at every 365 days to make someone feels so special by giving them flowers, chocolate, gifts or a romantic dinner :) coz sometimes in this busy worlds of ours, we find it hard to spare a little time for someone we love or even forget to say the magical three words.. I love you. It may sounds simple but actually it means so much :)

    Today, I'm uploading a special card for my hubby. Hopefully he won't see this posting until tomorrow morning :P Coz I don't want to ruin another surprise for him :) I draw simple leaves on the edge right top and left bottom using a silver pen, on the center I embossed my recycled paper (which I made myself few years ago :P) then I lock the card with vellum paper and typed and printed out the sentiment..

    Once again, Happy Valentine to you all and hope you'll have a romantic celebration with someone you loved!

    Hugs

    After having been absence for few years, I finally return to a place where I learn so much about card making. It's a place where groups of creative women are supporting each other and sharing knowledge in card making.
    I'm glad that I am one of the lucky person who gets the honor to be among them :)

    Anyway, I join one of their challenges for this month of February or month of Love I must say :) coz the theme is Valentine's Day. You can find their adorable creations here

    Below is the card that I made for the challenge. Instead of throwing away the remains of my acyrlic paints, I decided to use it as a background for this card. I applied the acrylic with sponge then I printed out the sentiment. And the idea is giving a Valentine card to someone who is blind. She/He can be someone whom we loved. Braille is simply to let her/him knows that they are loved and that they can see the beauty and the color of the world through our hands and heart :)

    The sentiment says 'Love is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see (Mark Twain)'..
    The Braille means I LOVE U

    Warmest hugs,

    Hello there! :)
    Glad I can do posting earlier than I used too hehe.. since i came home earlier today so things are much relaxing for me and I've got more time to do posting, browsing around or checking my e-mails.. 
    it's very nice evening now! :)

    Soooo love is in the air.. I'm posting another roses gift and again it's a request from a friend. She wanted the same type as what I made few days ago. Valentine's in the front door and she can't wait to embrace it with her boyfriend :) I made few white roses for her which are put in an open small gift box.. wrapped the box with printed papers which I made by myself.. I hope she's happy with the result!

    Enjoy and happy Valentine's day, dear! :)

    Hi Everyone :)

    How are you doing today? Hope you're all in good health! Thanks for coming again. I'm truly sorry to say that I am sooo sleepy now. Yesterday i slept at around 3 am. Yes, I've got a bit of insomnia i think hehe.. but well, i love to be here again with you although it's now almost 1 am and i can't barely see my laptop monitor ;)

    I'd like to upload another roses creation almost similar with what i made yesterday. t's a compliment actually :) coz this is a special request from a friend after she saw my posting yesterday.. since i have no stock of silinder box to recycle so I replace it with a small chocolate box.. unfortunately i forgot to take the picture of the original box :P coz I was racing with my time.. the roses made from crepe papers, then i gave three small green ribbons. Also i'm using a paper napkin which I got from starbuck coffee last year when i went there with some friends (i didn't drink the coffee though but i brought some stack of their paper napkins :P). And of course for the last touch i put a small tag embossed with fancy corner embossing from Cuttlebug collection.


    Anyway, I have to say that this is a really fresh from the oven (and heart) posting :P you see, i have just finished this about half an hour ago coz I have to bring it tomorrow, then i took the picture and upload it instantly :) so they are really fresh roses.. Hopefully my friend will love it :)


    Thanks everyone! Love you all!

    Hi there.. nice to see you again! thank you for visiting me!
    Today, I upload one of my crafts work which i made specially for my husband :)
    I'm also joining the Hint of Spring and Fabulous Linking Party at Passionately Artistic website.

    Well, it was supposed to be a surprised for him on valentine's day :P but I ruined it!! what can i say, we live under the same roof, go to work at the same time, eat at the same menu, sleep on the same bed.. in other words, I can't hide this roses from him! I did tried to hide it in our work room at home but again, he works  in there with me too :) and there's no space where i can take this picture without him notice it :D

    Hehe.. don't get me wrong, I have always enjoyed being with him all the time hehe.. in fact, it's actually a blessing. So here's for you darl! I made 9 roses as a symbol of our 9 years of  gloom and  blissfulness that  we have shared since the day we met. Thanks for everything and hope you'll love it! :)

    A bit about this roses is that they are made of crepe papers. The vase is made of an old packaging box and i covered it with a sheet of printed paper. I wrote some selected love quotations on the paper and printed  it out. Then i tide a little embossed tag (fancy corners from Cuttlebug) with green ribbon and put a metal butterfly as an accessory.

    No need expensive cost to make a lovely gift. 
    All we need is just a little love when we create it! Don't you think? hehe.. :)

    (the old packaging box before i turned it into a flower vase)

    Hello everyone.. how was your day? hope you'll have a fun Lunar New Year holiday today! :)  For those who celebrate it, may all of your wishes will come true and may you will be fill with love, wealth and health..

    It's now raining heavely and 1 am in the morning here. But I'm happy that I still have a little energy to upload one of my creations :) i manage to make a black card! It is as black as the night :P  Actually this card has been staying in my storage for quite some time and i did not finish it until few days ago. Well, sometimes when I'm stuck and have no idea what to make, I just leave my card and take a little time to get some inspiration.. Once I get the "blink", I won't waste the time to apply it ;) Anyway, on this card I put a silver earing and draw the edges with silver pen then I embossed it with floral fantasy pattern.. 


    I will upload another card soon, okay! for now this is all! :) 
    thanks for looking everyone! My warmest regards to you all! muuacchh
