In the mood for scrap

Hello friends :)

How's your September starting ? hope everyone is happy and healthy welcoming this Fall season. I have two scrapbook layout to share today,i am just in the mood for scrap. I don't do layout as good or as much as i do cards, but i would love to give it a try.

My first layout theme is Fuji, I've been inspired by many many friends on my instagram who made layout about their memorable trip. I went to Fuji,Japan this January and i absolutely love my moments there.

 

My second layout theme is pregnancy, I am carrying a 36-weeks-baby bump right now, and i guess it will be a precious memory keepsake to create one layout.

  

Thanks for viewing my blog . hope you all have a blessed weekend ^^

A welcome baby card for a friend

I am back after MIA for a month. My bump is getting bigger now, and i tend to be VERY clumsy.. i drop lots of things while crafting. and its a hard work for me to bend and pick up stuff (i'm the kind of person who tidy up my craft desk right away after crafting) . But I manage to make a card to a friend who just gave birth :) For me, this year is totally a babies-year.. why ? i have 9 relatives (in my family) who is having baby this year, and lots of friends too ^^ So i think i will make lots of babies card this year. I just cant wait for the cute addition to my family too hehehe

I mist the background,then die cut the frame, and adding all the elements from Paper Smooches Pip Squeaks stamp set, and add the glossy accent finishing touch. I paperpieced all the elements from Studio Calico Hey day paperpad. I just love soft feminine color papers!! This welcome baby card is inspired by Paper Smooches SPARKS picture perfect challenge.

First Magnolia Cards

          My Indonesian friends are so addicted to Magnolia stamps right now. I myself own 2 stamps of Magnolia i won from a giveaway ,one of them is from Christmas edition . Haven't inked them since i got them :-) I always admire my friend who always make beautiful shabby vintage card style of Magnolia Yulis Kartika , but it's always been a challenge for me to make one.  So i thought this time would give it a try to make Magnolia cards my own style :-D also joining th MDUChallenge this week.

 

 

 Both Background stamps and sentiments from Hero Arts

Hope you like my magnolia cards.

Good news, my parents are coming to Thailand tomorrow, and i've missed them so much!

Inspired by a song

I finally found someone, who knocks me off my feet
  I finally found the one who makes me feel complete

It started over coffee, we started out as friends

It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin...

Hello friends..

Today i am going to share a card that is inspired by a song that i have been listening to since the preparation of my wedding day (last year). It's in my favorite playlist and i just love the melody ,the lyrics and Bryan adams' voice.. :) This song also reminds me how grateful i am to be married with my best friend. The one who used to ask you out just for a coffee then the next thing you know, every coffee you had with him taste so special.

The nude and soft color combo of this card is inspired by
 Paper Smooches SPARKS picture perfect challenge.

Bon voyage tag, and some photos from Japan

Hellooowwww everyone!!!

i can't believe it seems like forever i haven't blog.
I was so busy during January, i guess i am just not used to my new life yet, becoming a housewife, definitely loads of houseworks to do around the house, and i also spent quite much time on preparing my husband and my.. honeymoon trip.

WE just got back from Japan and we totally love our trip!!  it was an independence trip , not joining tour, and it was  also my first time planning such kind of trip :)

before we left, i actually made a tag and wrote a post blog, but i forgot to hit the publish button,i hit the "save" button instead -__-" silly me. so here i re-write my post.

 

I created this mini tag to celebrate our first trip together, and plan to put this somewhere in my album ^^ Stamps from Penny Black Love is in the air set.

We went to Japan by Thai airways and on the biggest plane i've ever been on. Flight was smooth, but soon as i arrived back in Thailand, i have this bad fever and catch cold. (too tired i guess)

Since i re-write my post, i want to share some pictures we took while we're in Japan.

a snapshot i catch on the plane, this plane Airbus A380 has HUGE wings!!

Japan has so many hystorical and beautiful temples

and close by temples, we can find so many CUTE souvenirs , love CUTE, everything super CUTE!!

and MORE...

in Tokyo we got to see Tokyo city view from above !

There're MILLIONS of drinks machine like these in Japan

We ate lots of RAMEN and UDON ! yes.. Noodle family

but yet... this Green Tea parfait still my Favorite among all

one of highlight of my trip .. trying the ONSEN , hot spring bath :D

and viewing Mount Fuji from Kawaguchiko lake

We almost didnt get a chance to see the Mount Fuji because it was raining all morning. but finally YAY！！！

 I also had to share this one

Those are some photos i would really love to share with you. Japan is not only a beautiful country with rich culture, but the people are super nice too. Would love to go back there for another trip if we had another chance ^^ gotta save though (because everything in Japan is pricy)
