    Hello,

    I am back again hehehe.. after I have been neglecting my blog for almost 2 years :D Being busy with my kids and have not created many things. I miss my blog and think its best for me to refresh it and start sharing my creations again before 2017 is end.




    Well, I will start with the above greeting card which I made for my hubby to celebrate his birthday. It's very easy and simple to make. I just stamped the image on a fancy paper (no brand) using Versa Magic Jumbo Java and colored it with Prisma Color Pencil. I use kraft paper for the card, clear stamp from Inkadinkado, Polkadot rubber stamp (no brand) and text clear stamp set So Happy from Avery Elle :)

    I enter this card to below challenges:

    Hello there!

    Hope you're doing great.. Today, I'm uploading one of my ATC card which I made to join the October Challenge of Mbak Dwita Fb and blog Crafter's Life in order to celebrate the World Card Making Day 2015.

    I actually found out about the "Friendship" few days before the due date. So, I rushed and created this simple ATC. I use kraft paper, hand draw the two girls image with drawing pen and use Prisma Color Pencil for the coloring (which I'm still learning to do it :P) and for last touch, I used word stamps from Stampendous for the words "my and Friend" and Kaiser Craft Christmas Sentiment for the "Love". Yep, I only have those stamps set and I always have to mix and match them :D

    Alhamdulillah, Thank you God! I'm glad that my creation is among the top 10 which is at no.7 (my lucky number actually :D:D). Guess what I got, whole bunch of great stuff!!!! From Mbak Dwita, a kit for November challenge and also I got a beautiful handmade bag created by herself and a Magnolia stamp!! I am so excited!! Coz believe it or not, this is my first ever and the one and only Magnolia stamp that I ever have in my life!!!! :D :D  And that the bag I use it to keep my make-up tools, yeaahh I usually don't use make-up bag, but now I have one that is so lovely!!! Also I got stuff such as lovely sequins from Mbak Hanny, flower punch from Mbak Judith and other lovely stuff an ATC card from Mbak Nova!

    I am so excited and thank you so much for lovely people who voted for me.. GBU! :) And most of all, thank so much for Mbak Dwita for your generosity, hard work and effort for making these challenge possible! and thank you for the sponsors.. you all really made my day! :)

    Thanks to you friends for reading this! 
    Love you all and see you soon! *kiss and hug* :)

    Hello friends,

    I'm posting late post tonight from a Sunday Market Event that me and my friend participated back in August. It took place in Segara Village Resort in Sanur, Bali. 
    The location was by the beach, so our booth is exactly by the beach in the resort area.

    It was actually nice and cozy resort, especially for my daughter as they have children playground there. Many booth sell handicrafts, clothes, beverages etc. and also had acoustic band entertainment.

    Me and my friend shared in one booth. The event was so okay and although we made some sales but generally it was quiet. From our point of view, the booth location wasn't in a strategic place for people to come and have a look. So I really hope that they can make a better booth layout and provide interesting program especially for children as Sunday Market is more about family hang out :)

    Anyway, we did have fun and I was so happy that my hubby and daughter accompanied me for a whole day! Love them both so much. Here are some pictures that I managed to take. I couldn't take any picture in the afternoon coz our booth was being on the spotlight from direct sun light :D 
    So really sorry if they are blurred as I took these when the sun was almost set and I had to rush to bring my daughter home coz she was so exhausted! :)

    Thank you for reading this and Take care! :)

    Hello friends,

    I have been playing with inner tube recently. And yes, besides paper crafting now I really enjoy jewelry making even if I am just starting to learn :)
    Anyway,  I'm inspired by my hubby who loves motorcycle very much. Instead of him wasting the old inner tube then I decided to create jewelry out of it. This is also one of my purpose to recycle the inner tube as you can find them everywhere and they are so easy to find. The rubber is very strong and that it will last long.. Not so easy to handle though but I'm happy to be able to cut it manually using scissors :)

    So here are some of my creations which are now available at my crafts boutique HERE.

    Oh, just for your information, I do ship worldwide and accept payment through Paypal so if anyone outside Indonesia is interested to purchase then please don't hesitate to contact me :)

    Thank you very much and hope you enjoy your day!

    Hello friends,

    I hope you're doing great! 
    I'm happy that for the past few weeks I have some time to play with my cork sheet. And the result is that I am able to make new jewelry creations made of cork sheet. 

    I love cork sheet very much. They create a natural, unique and ethnic look :) 
    I manually cut them with scissors and cutter knife, I stamped it using ink and regular stamps then for the finishing I used ModPodge Dimensional Magic to keep it sealed and waterproof.

    I'm glad they are now ready at my crafts boutique Plumeria Crafts.
    I do ship worldwide and so if anyone abroad is interested then you can contact me directly for the details, and oh, payment can be made by Paypal too :)

    Thank you very much and Enjoy your day!

    Hi friends,

    How are you? Wow, I really missed my blog. 
    I've been busy with few events which I will write later :P Well, I do hope you are doing great and enjoying your day :)

    Today I'm going to upload my simple creation to join challenge in my facebook group. The group is called "HandicraftQta"managed by talented Indonesian women and this is my first time joining their challenge :) 

    The theme for this time is White and Red in order to celebrate 70th years of Independence Day of our country on 17th August 2015. So, here's my creation:


    Red and white cards and pair of earrings all are made of paper using "Gunungan" image that I created few years ago

    Pair of paper earrings. I printed out the Gunungan image and then add Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to make the earrings wearable and waterproof.

    I created this Gunungan image on 2012 and at last I got the chance to use it this year :) Check out the details on my old post here. I draw images like fish, ocean, trees, flowers etc. to describe how rich our country is and praying that God will always unite and shower us with lots of love and courage. So that we always remember His blessing and take really good care of it.


    I made this font using Photoshop program and I also made this heart image and color it using Chameleon Pen (I'm telling you, this is the hardest part, the result is far from what I expected, but well, I'm still learning using it and will try with different image next time! :P)


    So that's it for now, I hope I can win this time hehe.. If not, then it's okay, I'm glad that I can join and compete with other amazing women!! And..  I'll write more post later okay.. :)

    Thank you for reading and See you soon!

    Hello friends,

    This is another rope necklace that I created. 
    I'm using black string, feather and little heart charms and combined with some silver beads and black glass beads.
    The feather is made of metal and I wanted it to be the symbol of strength but yet it is soft.. just like a woman! on the outside woman can be so gentle and warm but on the inside it has a strength that can endure all the pain in life :) 

    This necklace is soon available on my crafts boutique. Should you need more details, you can contact me directly :)

    See you and take care!

    Hello friends!

    Here's another result of my work, another necklace with pearls and in bronze/brown colors..

    Brown is an earthy color and pearl is an elegant symbol. I combined the ivory pearls with bronze chain to leave an elegant and a unique impression for woman as well as a down-to-earth feeling. This is a "just be yourself and be present" necklace :)

    This will be available at my online store soon. So stay tune and keep checking out my crafts boutique! You can find the link on the right side bar of this blog. See you there!
