One Night in KL

Hi Guys, how are you?
This is my second mini album, still about travelling.
I made this album, quite simple album,
cause i only have several photos to scrap it.
And i think this is the best choice,
to make it as simple as the photos that i have.


I only use 2 patterned paper
from Bo Bunny Mamarazzi Series,
one as a base, and the other one,
i use it as a border and embellishment.
Quite simple and easy.
I only need 2 hours to finish it,
and i do enjoy my time while making this album.

My Glass is Almost Full

Just a quick hello for today.
Im going back to my mother`s house for several days,
meet her and having a 'holiday' in my house where i grew up.
So, i wont be able to upload a mini album, as i promise you before,
until i come back.
Sorry for this, but im gonna give you something to read :)
Have fun... :)

I read something from Oprah Magazine on May 2010 editions,
i will write down for you what she says in that magazine :

"Years ago, it made me cry a lot because I`m such a pleaser.
I would say that`s my single greatest character flaw:
the importance I put on wanting to be liked.
That comes from having been abused as a child-
being beaten and not even being able to be angry or
to have any emotions about it.
I was trained to believe that other people`s feelings
were more important than my own,
and that only through pleasing somebody could I be loved.
It as taken me 56 years to overcome that.
And by the way, in all those 56 years, I have never once
called my parents to share anything with them.
Not "I got a job", "I meet a guy" , or
" I made a million dollars", - not once , ever.
I`m in awe of people who felt their parents`s love every day of their lives.
They start out in the world with a full cup.
The rest of us go through life trying to fill ours."

Yeah, thats true, im agree with what she says.
I can feel what she feel.
No, im not being abuse as a child,
but, i have a kind of 'pain' on my childhood time.
Yes, my mothers is a single parents.
Not as simple as that.
So many things happens in my life, since i was born until now.
Thats why, like what Oprah said, I try to fill my glass by my self,
with love from people around me.
And thanks God, its almost full :)
But i wont talk about this.
I write down this note, just to let you know,
if you are a father, or a mother, or whatsoever,
please treat your children good,
please raise them with love as much as you can.
Dont you ever let your children spend their childhood without love.
Its a very important thing to build their own life in future.
Or you will regret it and lose your children in your life.
Believe me.

My Journey Album

As i promise you,
i will post the album one by one.
Lets begin with this album,
My Journey Album.

I use the pictures from my journey
to Australia, 10 years ago.
This journey was made after my brother finish his Bachelor,
we decided to have this journey as a celebration.
At melbourne, when we begin this journey,
my boyfriend (who become my husband now) come from Sydney
and join this journey, before he go back to Sydney.
And after that, we, the three of us, my mom, my brother and I,
went to Gold Coast, Brisbane, Canberra and Sydney,
where we meet again with my boyfriend and his family.
One of my precious moments in my life.
When i look back at this photo,
i know im so happy at that time,
surrounded by people that i love.

Thats all.
Enough for now.
Thanks for coming.
Happy Monday! :)

Find a New Happiness

Yeap, thats true.
This week, i finish 4 mini albums.
And it makes me over joy :)
For my friends, who know me true,
they will clap their hand and say congratulations to me.
I never like and i never want to make a mini album.
The reason is so simple, i just dont know how to do it.
And when i try to make one, im gonna feel dissapointed when i see it finish.
I always feel, its just not me.
I feel more comfortable to make a 12 x 12 layout.
Eventhough some people say its harder to make 12 x 12 layout,
i always love to make it, and i always feel glad when i finish it.

But, i find a trigger to make a mini album this whole weeks.
And thanks God, i have guts to do it.
It just came up when i have to finish
My Journey mini album (a class by Ria Nirwana),
I just fallin` love with this mini album,
and for me, the join fee for this class is very expensive.
Thats it. Just that simple.
So i just have 2 options, finish it,
or i wouldnt finish it at all and leave it on my cupboard.
And i choose to finish it.

And after that,
all of the idea came one by one.
Especially, when im gonna sleep at night.
Ohhhh, im so happy.
And i couldnt ask for more than this.
I really find a happiness on making a mini album.
Thank you my beloved friends,
Ria Nirwana,
who always gimme a courage to make a mini album,
cause she know i can do it.
xoxo.

PS: Im gonna post the mini album one by one tomorrow.
Please be patient ;)

Handmade Swap Things

This is all my handmade swaps for
Indonesian Scrapbookers Gathering.
The rules is we have to make something for each person,
than swap it with the others.
And this time i choose to make a tag.

I made it from a white canson paper,
than i color it using a Tim Holtz Distress Ink.
For the birds, i made it from Kaisercraft clear stamp,
and color it with opaque paint.The next step is, cut the birdcage from some pattern paper (sorry, i forgot the brand).For the borders, i cut some cotton fabric and sew it. Last but not least, to finish it, i put a small tags from K and Co (that i bought it 3 years ago, hehe) , and sew a prima flower with the button. And voilaa..... The tags is done.

Made it 30 tags, eventhough theres only 28 person to give, i still have 2 more left for my scrapbuddies,
for Alice and Tiara, who cannot join this gathering.

So which one do you like it most? This one?

Or this one?

This one maybe?

Or perhaps this?

Or this last two?

Just feel free to choose which one do you like it.
For me, all the tags are my favourites, cause i try my best and made it with love.
Hope all of my friends, who receive it, like it as i do.
