Days of Our Lives, Creating a Keepsake

I've heard about Project Life some times ago, but never get interested to make one.

But, after my baby #3 turned 2 and off of his breastfeeding tantrum, I now have more spare to time to waste. He is not as demanding as before, so as his tummy is full and siblings are around to play with him, he will let Mom plays with computer.

So, I tempted to try to journal our lives.

Using Tracey cute birdie kit, I made this week#9 page:

And, finger crossed I will be diligent enough to collect our memories throughout the year 2013 into 52 pages. I wish.

And, I have a freebie, you can have the template I made for this page. It's not flattened (layered PSD file) so you can use clipping mask to maintain the shape. I also add an extra bonus download, a piece of vellum paper stitched under a ribbon for journaling purpose. Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Join SSUC & New Freebie From Me To You

Week ago, I joined Sunny Side Up Creations as DT member. This is a crafter group (digital or traditional) with biweekly challenge. And, they also have blog, so you can see their previous challenge. This group accommodates different types of crafters, i.e: face & body artist, cross-stitch, painter, and also bead makers. What a group of wonderful ladies to join.

The main reason I join this group, because I need to challenge myself to create some new kits, so The Sweetest Things, my baby kit, will sit together with its 'siblings'. LOL.

The first challenge I take is to make layout from the swatches provided.

All I need to do is choosing at least three colors from the palette. I chose four of it, as you can see in my layout below.

It's a photo frame, made using elements from The Sweetest Things, and for the paper I made new paper pack based on the palette colors provided.

You can have this picture frame if you like it. Just follow the link provided in the bottom of this post. It's a transparent PNG file, so you can insert your picture or anything you like into the felt frame.

Thank you. God bless.

Finally, I did it! My First Full Digikit

I've been playing around in this digiscrapping land since 2009, tho I gave it a long break when I had another baby to love.

From the first time I saw these digital papers and elements,  I had known that I can make the supplies by myself. I'd been working in graphic designing for quite a decent period of time, it's not impossible for me to switch a bit my love of designing thing in screen into those cute things called digital scrapbooking. I just need to challenge myself, but I never made it. :p LOL, me and my big mouth. I was always ran out of time or I was too tired after mommying three kids from morning to evening

When baby#3 had his 2nd birthday and let go his breastfeeding tantrum some days ago, I tell myself to try to design at least a mini kit. I need to make my hand dirty again.

One day, a friend in a facebook group told me about this challenge, so I decided to be in. What long nights I'd been thru. You know it's not easy to sit yourself and drown yourself in design works when there are two toddlers nagging at you.

But, finally I made it. Instead of a  mini kit, I got a full kit: 12 papers, and 30 elements. It's quite an achievement for me. I just want to scream my lungs out: FINALLY!! I DID IT!
This is how my first baby look like:

Please be happy with me, and you can get this mini kit for a limited time until I decide to sell the full kit somewhere else. Just click the DOWNLOAD link in the bottom of this mini kit folder. Thank you so much, hope you like it. Please leave me some comments or just give me the link back to your layout using my kit, and I would be so honored if you care to give credit for my work.

Indonesian Winter?

Off course, there's no winter in Indonesia. At least, for more than 30 years living in Indonesia, I've never seen any winter :p.

But, my little lady had another thought. She decided to put winter hat and scarf to protect her from snow? ;)

So, this is Chloe in her winter costume for an afternoon walk. Totally cute. Xoxo, little girl

My first freebie ever

Been looking for a chance to bring some freebies to my blog.
My LOs are usually personal, they are always reflecting how I see my life, my kids, myself. So, it had been never came to my mind to share my LOs with others, regarding its unique purpose.

But, this is my first try. Hope you like it. I used Tuesday Morning, a retired kit by Aly De Moraes. Very cute and refreshing for the eyes.
A quick page frame from me.

Actually, I made this LO for my 15mo baby, who happened to find a beetle and tried to catch it. Very cute moment.

You can download the frame here.

That's it. Please leave me some comments how much you like it or dislike it as a feedback for me. Thanks so much.
