    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!

    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 :)

    Hello there..

    I'm back again!!! Missing my blog so much.. I've been quite busy at work and been having migraine and cold since last week that had kept me away from my laptop :P Today I feel much better after my hubby gave me a  massage treatment yesterday!! :)

    Now I just wanna show you the card I made for AI Factory Challenge which has started on Thursday last week and ended by tonight :P the theme was "Handmade by Me" which means we are using anything made by ourselves, it can be embellishments, papers etc :) I'm using the Ella Ballerina image from AI Factory which you can find here. 


    For this theme, I made my own flower embellishment from yellow yarn. First, I draw the flower pattern on a paper and cut it. I applied glue on the pattern and covered it with yarn. I gave a small bead on the flower to make it sweeter.

    ~ Ballerina image - AI Factory, Flower embellishment (yellow yarn) - myself, Coloring - Prisma Coloring Pencils and Colorbox Ink Pad, Sentiment - myself ~

    Please make sure you visit AI Factory Store to get so many wonderful images and of course they also have freebies digis as well! I have to go now but see you all soon!

    Thank you soooo muucchhh for visiting me here! :)

    Hi there,

    Hope things are going well with you! :) Sorry again for my lateness in uploading the challenge, I was supposed to upload this challenge on Thursday, yesterday but quite frankly my internet connection at home has been unreliable and haven't got any other choice yet. So just have to stick with it for a while before I can get a better service provider :P Well, another week has come again for new challenge at AI Factory. The theme is stripes and spots. Use any of your material that has spots and stripes pattern, can be papers or cloths :) 


    I'm using the above beautiful "Princess" image from AI Factory which you can find here. She's so elegant and cute at the same time! I just love her! :) Anyway, I make another simple card, I created few layers of frame with spots and stripes pattern and I made them all on word program. I glued the princess on a plastic scraps, embossed the background with floral pattern and stamped the sentiment on the bottom side of the frame then embellished it with small metallic ribbon & four red spots on each corner of the frame.

    ~ Princess Image - AI Factory; Stripes and spots - myself; Bloom Dots embossing folder - Cuttlebug; Hello stamp - Stampendous!; Metallic ribbon - personal collection; Coloring - Prisma Coloring Pencils; Skin coloring - Copic marker

    Now it's your turn to show us your creations. You know what to do :) You'll have until Wednesday, 20th July 11:59EST to upload your project here. Remember, you don't need to use AIF images but it would be appreciated if you do and they'd love to see the outcome! For more inspiration, don't forget to check out other fabulous creatios from the DTs.

    Happy Crafting and have a great weekend all! :)

    HI Everyone,

    Hope you're enjoying your weekend :) Mine is gonna be ended within few hours. I must say that this has been really exhausting weekend for me! I managed to clean all the mess at my house :P and found  stacks of scraps papers that I compiled with deep intention to use them all someday :P Well, I then took the time to use it at least for one project. So I ended up choosing label papers scraps. You see, when I made wedding invitations, I printed out the address of receivers on sticker label papers and I have many of them that were rejected because the results of the printing was bad or wrong. And as always, I didn't have the heart to throw them away as I can still use the back of the paper to write notes or even to make a sketch.

    Then I decided to make a notebook out of these scraps sticker label papers for my weekend project :P as I didn't have much time to make it so I took a simple way by using the Microsoft Word program :) And below is the result.  The clipart and border are available on the word program and I put a sentiment from one of my quotes collections.

     

    You can find a very easy and very simple tutorial to create the notes book cover on this link. A big thank you to Asma (AI Factory) who had requested me to make a tutorial! It's a great honor, dear! :) Oh, make sure you also check out other tutorials on AI Factory Graphic Blog, there are so many of them :) 

    Sooo, back to these sticker label papers, next time if you have them, don't throw away, you can recycle them by using the back of the papers again as writing pad or sketch paper :) Okay, I'm off to bed now! Coz am so sleepy and my note book has filled with many things to do for the next six days hehe.. yeah, at least I have got something to do although my hands are soo tired :P

    Thank you for reading all and see you soon! :) 
    Warmest Hugs

    Hi Everyone,

    Back again and this time I'm a bit earlier than last week but still same lateness ;) another new challenge time at AI Factory challenge has started yesterday. This week the theme is Double Time! Which means you have to use two of something on your project, it can be anything :) two buttons, two ribbons, two images etc.


    Myself, I'm using the above Ella at Peace image from AI Factory which you can find here. She is soo cute, isn't she? Really enjoyed playing with her image :) I make a simple greeting card and a bookmark, both are in one place. I printed out Ella image as the center piece then use it as a pocket to hold the bookmark. I used bamboo embossing folder from Cuttlebug for the background and embellish the card with small red ribbon and two old coins..
    ~ Ella at Peace image - AI Factory; Bamboo embossed - Cuttlebug; Coloring - Prisma Coloring Pencils; 
    Old coins - Caramel Crafts; Red ribbon - myself; Sentiment - my personal quotes collections ~

    So, show us your creation and if you ever need more inspiration, just go visit other DTs blogs to see their stunning creations! You will have time until Wednesday, 13th July, 11:59EST to submit your project here. 
    You are not required to use image from AIF but if you do, 
    they'll be glad to see it! :) Can't wait to see your creation!

    See you there!

    Hi Everyone, OOhhhhh I'm finally able to upload this challenge at AI Factory, really sorry for the delay. It's been quite chaotic weeks at work and home, not to mention the pathetic internet connection here is really frustrating.. well, just grateful to be here again :)

    Last week, new challenge has started at AI Factory and will end by Thursday this week. I hope you have visited AIF challenge blog here. The theme is Embellish It! Use any of your favorite embellishment to make your project more beautiful and attractive. This time I'm using troy train clipart from AIF which available here and embellished it with a very cute wood crafted embellishment. I didn't make any changes on the clipart, just added the carriages by duplicating the single carriage using crop tools, copy and paste on photoshop program to get those extra carriages. Once I got the number of carriages I wanted, I adjusted the size and printed out the train image from CorelDraw program. 
    This card is for Belated Birthday card and I created a little poem too :) 

     
    Here's my card
    ~ Troy Train clipart - AI Factory, Wood embellishment & ribbon - Caramel Crafts, 
    Background papers - my wrap paper scrap :P, Wording - myself :) ~
     
    The challenge itself will be ended by Wednesday, 6th July at 11:59EST. Soorrryyy :( I know I'm so late in posting this challenge but I really hope you can join us by submitting your project here. And do not forget to get inspiration from other DTs as they have make wonderful projects!

    Thank you all for reading! See you at the challenge and happy crafting! :)
