    Hello there,

    It's been a while since the last time we had challenge with AI Factory! It is sad that we also have to say goodbye to our talented DT Leader Tammy has stepped down due to her personal reasons - she's such a wonderful person to work with and we're all gonna miss her so much!! - Now it's with a great pleasure that we welcome her replacement who is one of our talented DT - Petra -! Goodluck with the new assignment, Petra and we believe you can manage the challenges very well! :)

    Some changes on the rules is that Petra have changed the day of our challenge so instead of THURSDAY, she has decided to run it every WEDNESDAY. She wanted all of you to have more time to create you project! great, huh! :) And another thing is that you don't have to use AIF image, but if you do then you will have the chance to win two digital stamps!! how cool is that??!! :)

    Okaayyy, now here's the challenge for this week, the theme is Something red, use anything that is red and our DTs are using the Christmas Birdie image which you can find here. It is soo cute and we love it and it can be used on every occassion too :) 



    Below is my card for this challenge
    ~ Image Chirstmas birdies - AIF Graphics; Stamp Merry Christmas - Kaiser Crafts; Coloring - Prisma Coloring Pencil and Versa Magic dew drop Java Jumbo; Paper- Embossed paper; Embellishment - dry leaves ~

    The challenge will run from 30th November until 14th December. Visit AI Factory to submit your project and find more details about the challenge!

    It's time for me to sleep now :) See you soon and can't wait to see your creation there!
    Happy Crafting!

    Happy Idul Adha 1432 H to all of my Moslem families and friends!! 
    May God blesses us with so much love, joy and peace into our lives! Amen..

    Here's a card I made to celebrate this special day'
    My drawing theme is Qurban animals Camel, Lamb, Goat and Cow which are partying on heaven :) and I added a short sentiment too hehe.. Since I'm still learning to draw and to use Adobe Illustration so I have to say that I'm quite happy with the result hehehe..
     
    For this card, I used Prisma Color Pencils for the coloring, Rose paper pattern from scraps that I collected :P then I used a wood embellishment and small organdy ribbon..
     

    That's all and hope you had a good time celebrating Idul Adha this year and for those of you who are starting another working day tomorrow --that includes me-- 
    Happy working and may the sun will always shine your days!!!

    See you next time and I really appreciate you're stopping by here!

    Happy World Card Making Day everyone!
    At last I can upload this card after struggling with my internet connection again ;P
     
    Anyway, for those who love card making, I believe it's a great feeling to celebrate a card making day! :) I don't think words are enough to describe it. Myself, it's always a great feeling knowing that although we never meet but we are sharing what we love doing and celebrating it with the rest of the world..

     
    This year, I hope you had a wonderful card making day! I would like to thank you all for all the support and love you sent on my blog, what you do is very meaningful for me and it gives me strength and inspiration to keep creating more cards :) I also would like to wish all the best of success for those who are still building their dreams to become a successful crafters, for those who still have not got the time to do what they'd like to do, for those who have to give up their hobbies in order to put their family as priority and for those of you who are enjoying your card making time everyday! :) I hope that you will find your own way to create more cards and to inspire other people! My thoughts and prayers will be with you always!
     
    Happy Crafting and Creating!! I love you all!
    p.s. really sorry for my late posting, hope you'll always forgive me for this :P

    Hello All!
    Hope things are going well with you! today I'm posting a new challenge from AI Factory.

    The theme is Tri-colored, so you will need to use any 3 colors on your project.
    The challenge will run for 2 weeks again so you have plenty of time to join us :) For this project, we are using the Ella Fairy image chosen by one of our talented DT Petra.
    I'm a big fan of Ella images so I'm sooo very happy to play with her again :)

     
     
    The Tri-colors I chose are Red, Blue and Yellow. The card is simple and I created and printed out the sentiment next to Ella "Far away I fly, just to say hi! {smile}". I put Ella on the card using double tape foam and stamped the blank card with "hi" word. I also gave a little glitter just to give a fairy look on her small wings :)

     
    ~ Image: AIF Graphics Ella Fairy; Sentiment on Ella: Clear stamp Stampendous; Sentiment on card: myself; Embellishment: jeweleries seal and red ribbon; Coloring: Prisma coloring pencils ~ 

    So, now it's your turn to upload your project, the challenge will run from 22nd September until 6th October, please go to AIF Graphics to find the details and upload your project!

    See you there and Happy Crafting! :)

    Finallyyyy, I am connected to the internet!!! Ahhhh Gosh what a week it has been! I'm so sorry that I'm so late in uploading the challenge again.. having been disconnected from the internet is really frustratring. I have changed my modem and i hope that this kind of disconnecting will be history but let's see if the provider can cooperate too, if not, then i just don't know what to do coz i have tried so many different kinds of internet provider and the results are still far from satisfying :P

    Anyway, today is not about my internet :P I'd like to upload AIF new challenge which has been running since Sept 9th and will end by Sept 22nd. Since AIF now has moved to a new location so therefore please notice that there has been some changes on the rules and regulations too. However, it does not lose any fun and you can still winning prizes! I'm telling you, the prizes are soooo delicious :) The theme is BACK TO SCHOOL/TEACHER and am using Ella Teacher's image.


    As for my self, on this challenge, I'm making a paper bag and a paper clip with Ella's image. I love working with Ella coz she's just sooo cute!



    I printed out Ella on a paper then cut it into elipse pattern then colored with Prisma coloring pencil, after that I glued Ella on a clip paper, thus it can be used to clip the paper bag and also you can use it as a bookmark :) I made the paper bag out of A4 size recycled paper (coz I don't have big sizes paper), I made the flower by cutting an orange color paper then put a black draing paper so it will look a bit like sunflower :) then I handwritten the sentiment with Prisma coloring pencil, my aim is to make it like writing on a blackboard at school (reminds me of my childhood :)
    Well, that's it from me, I hope you all can join the challenge as you still have many times to submit your project! Go to the new site here at >>> AI Factory <<< to enter your project!

    I'll see you around, okay!!
    Take care and bye for now :)

    Happy Eid El Fitr to all of my moslem friends and families around the globe!!! 

    I hope you will forgive all of my mistakes (should there are any :) and all unpleasant things I've done which I may not realized! I hope that you and your family will always be showered by God's blessings! Amen.

    I feel sooo happy after visiting my family although in a very short time! But well, it has been wonderful Eid El Fitr day for us, lots of laugh and fun ofcourse! I just hope God still give me another chance to meet Ramadhan month again next year :) There are soo many things I want to write here about my Eid El Fitr celebration, but unfortunately I'm too tired as I had just arrived at my house few hours ago and I didn't get the chance to sleep on the plane and now it's already 2.00 am here :P 
    soo I think I have to postpone my story and will tell you all about it next time :)
    OOhh, but before I go to bed, I just want to let you know that AI Factory graphics has a new website! And they are having a BLOG HOP to celebrate it with lots of fun gifts that you wouldn't want to miss! Remember and mark your calendar that the blog hop is starting from September 2nd until September 4th, so stay tune for the update! :)

    Okay, I'm off to bed now! Thank you for visiting :)

    Hey there! hope things are doing well with you today! well, it's already the second week of August.. how time flies by so fast. I have been very busy at work and home.. but no matter what happen in my life I'm still trying to keep my spirit high in making cards :)

     
    Now I'm sorry for my lateness again in uploading the challenge but  I'm happy to share a great news from AI Factory that this month is we're having a long challenge! This is due to they are updating their new sites with lots of exciting stuff, so stay tune to get the update! Meanwhile, the theme for this month's challenge is "Anything Goes". I'm using the above Up Up and Away Air Balloon image from AI Factory but not using it for a card this time, instead, I am making a refrigerator magnet. I printed out the image on a magnet sheet and colored it. Unfortunately the paper sheet is a bit glossy on the surface so I can only color it with coloring pens.

    ~ Up up away image - AI Factory, Magnetic paper - Caramel Crafts, Sentiment - my personal collection, 
    Coloring - Faber-Castell Coloring Pen ~

    You can find the freebies from AI Factory that you can use here. As I have mentioned above this is a long challenge, so you will have time until September 1st to submit your project here. Don't forget to check out other fabulous creations from the DT. And sadly we have to say farewell to some of DT who are leaving us. Scrappy, Lisa, Jan, Monica, Kelly & Mandy! We'll miss you and wish you all very best of luck in your future endeavors! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!

    Thank you all for reading my post :)
