Mini Album - Princess

This mini album consists of  10 pages, included the cover and the backcover.

I mostly use the paper from Prima Marketing for this album.

 For color theme, I just simply follow the paper. 

I use thin cardstock for the album. The size of the album is 15x15 cm.

 Here's the close-up detail on the ring binder. I tied up some pretty ribbons on each ring.

 For this page, I used some green and purple acryclic paint and dabbed them using sponge brush to create special effect.

 I cut out the yellow paper as the frame.

 Use some clear stamp and ink here.

 I put the flowers overlapping to create more dimesnion. 

 For more details, I add on some UTE clear embossing ink and dried it up using heating tool. 

*Yay! Finally I have it!

 Some ink and clear stamps again. :)

 I love using Tsukineko brand for the ink since it create a bold look like a printing machine.

 I put in Prima Masking and created this wonderful frame. I used paint knife and some pink acryclic paint to make it.

 Then to create softer look, after it dried, I dabbed on some whites using sponge brush.

 Here's another frame. I cut out the green paper and aligned it diagonally.

 I dabbed over some yellow acryclic paint directly from the tube! LOL. Look at the effects! I love it. 

No mess. No clean up. 

Close the tube and done!

 I dabbed some more on the next page.

Here's the last page. 

I really love the cut-outs castles. I added some blings using Ranger's Stickles and put some glass deco on it to create dimension. Again, I dried them using heating tool.

Here's the close up:

September Scrapbook Challenges

Hello!
It's been a while since I didn't update my scrap blog here. It's been busy days, as I am learning to make more handmade flowers instead of just buying :)). But then, when I got hooked up with the patterns, papers, glue and fabric, I tend to forget anything else.

No more talking. :) This time I want to show you the wonders of how a skecth, can turn out in so many ways. It can inspire in many unexpected ways. In Scrapbook Challenges, we can create a layout based on a sketch. Here's one sketch example #264, from one of DT members, Amanda Pace.

And here's my take: 

I inspired to put handwritten journaling exactly at the same spot as the sketch. I made some adjustment, using two photos instead of one, since I have plenty photos in my storage. LOL. Hope can get them out more than leaving them staying in the box. :)

And here's another fabulous sketch #265 from DT member, Natalie Jane, for this challenge. 

 

and my reveal:

I was inspired looking at those scattered stars and the fun sketch and chose to use colorful papers and silly faces of our first son. :))

Here's another sketch  #266 from wonderful Chanell Rigterink and here is the link for the challenge.

and here's what I created:

I used some stamps here, as you see for making the tickets, also the journaling on the right. 

And for the last skecth of this month, Jowilna Nolte, created this wonderful sketch #267.

You can join the challenge by clicking here.

 

and here's mine:

It was so much fun to stitch on the paper. The handmade flowers I put on the LO is made of corn husk. (Actually I'm not sure the name of it, it is the cover of the corn cob -- not the leaves hanging over the stem). Anyone know what it is called? *puzzled*

Thanks to Sis Metta Setiawan who tells me the name of it!! Yay! 

I bought them in a local scrapbooking store. I found those quite often since I live in Indonesia, where plenty of tropical vegetations growing. :)) I've tried making of my own and ended up in rotten leaves. Maybe I had not dried the leaves enough before processing. :( Will try again later.

I guess, that's for now.

For next week, Scrapbook Challenges still have one more wonderful sketch to work on. I will post it here when it is up. :))

I know I posted all these wonderful challenges a bit late. Hope can update my blog every week next month. 

Thanks for looking!

RESPECT

This one is made for  Word Quote Challenge in: http://scrapbookchallenges.ning.com/forum/topics/wordquote-challenge-may-4-11

Thanks to one of my favorites, sweet DT in SC: Jolanda for giving out this challenge.

Here's my take for RESPECT challenge.
I do respect my father-in-law so much. During his lifetime, he taught me a lot to love people, have compassion, loving nature and wisdom. This one is a tribute for the day he passed away, almost a year ago. The loss, we know that's something we will not be able to replace with someone else. He is forever missed, yet forever in our hearts. 
Thanks for your wonderful challenge, Jolanda. It reminds me of the people I respect most in life. One of them is my-father-in-law.

 I made the flowers using recycled paper and stamped it using clear stamp and Tim Holtz's Distress Ink to create the vintage mood. 

I  posted the tutorial here: http://addictedscrapbooker.blogspot.com/2011/05/handmade-flower-tutorial-using-recycled.html

I put some glitter on May , to show the month I created this page. I deliberately put the twig over the letter "t" to create overlaping and more dimension to the page.

I swirl the papers after cutting it using a cutter. I embossed the sides using SEI stamp, cappucino color. You can get it in http://www.shopsei.com/. It is quite cheap and good quality.

The photo I embossed using Distress Ink as well to create the same old look as the vintage paper.

The chipboard letters, I embossed using Tim Holtz's Distress Ink Walnut to create similar colors to the paper background. I use Webster Pages Nature's Storybook Collection.
For Indonesian scrapbooker friends, I bought it from online store in Surabaya, you can check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/tkertas.
