Welcome to Magnolia DT Christmas Blog Hop!

We are having fun for the whole two weeks. I hope you didn't miss our first blog hop last week.

If you arrived from Diana http://deedeesmagnoliaart.blogspot.com/

then you are in the right place !

 My card features Cozy Tilda from the new collection from Magnolia rubberstamps Sweden - Waiting for Christmas. I stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Ranger Distress ink.

Corrugrated paper as the base and could you notice I didn't use any patterned paper on this card:-))

Decorated with doily, button, Magnolia dies, paper flowers, stickers.

Lastly added with Snow-tex to make a snowy and christmas feel !

I hope that you like my card and give some comments here as a chance to win some prizes from Magnolia Sweden.

As I mentioned on my facebook page,
if we had the idea, then everything is easy..
the idea is precious, not the material,
although material is expensive....:-))
Enjoy !
I hope you got inspired!
Have a great day !

P/s: Thank you very much for your nice commments for my previous card ! <3

Finally after several struggle months...........

 I have a card to show you , my dear friends.
I am so sorry that I was in silent these couple of months.
Many things happened in my family.
I lost my mother in a full moon day.
But I am glad that she is no longer in suffer.
She is deeply missed.

Well, back to my card,
I wish to warm up a bit to coutinue my crafting journey,
so today is a Magnolia Dies day ( for me :-))
You can get all the Magnolia Doohickey dies here: http://magnolia.nu/wp13/product-category/magnolia/dies/


I used three type of dies, here are:
1) Butterfly
2)Mini doily
3) Peonies

     Patterned paper and sentiment from Magnolia, paper flowers, wooden icons, sweet buttons from Prima Marketing. Other stuff: doily, half pearl, liquid pearl, film strip , brad from all other company and gift from fellow DT Nancie and Yulis.

 I used a mask that I bought many years ago ( LOL ) then applied picket white crackle paint. You can see the result at the lower left corner of the card. I arranged the layer per layer starting with white doily at the upper of the card.

 Here the close up of the card. I stained all the dies' edges with Ranger walnut stain ink and stamped with Magnolia Love sentiment. You can see I also stamped the Magnolia Old Script background at the right hand side of the card.

 The sentiment " Made with Love" from Magnolia. I stamped on a white cardstock and inked with Ranger Walnut Stain with an old look. Spice up with a piece of string and half pearls.

I had a very funny and relax time to make this super easy card. I hope you got inspired !

Have a nice day !

Magnolia Pink Lemonade Collection

Finally a NEW NEW NEW card from me after 3 months in SILENT MODE.

I am so sorry that I was not able to make a single card nor tag nor bookmark in these 3 months. I didn't have any mood to make any crafting thing.

I hope that I am able to turn my crafting journey to the normal path. I hope so. I need your support and encouragement. I wish to say a word of Thank you very much for visiting my blog in these past three months, although there was nothing new to be viewed.

OK, back to this card. This is a new Magnolia rubbberstamp from the new collection- Pink Lemonade.

 I painted the image with Ranger distress ink Walnut Stain. Patterned paper from Magnolia.

 Sepia technique is my favorite and I need to pratice more:-)) Paper flower from Petaloo.

 I have so much fun to using various beautiful embelishment for my card. All these are my must-use candies:-))

 Just contact me, if you need any details of the card:-))

Thanks for looking at my card. I hope that you have a great day ! Happy Crafting !

I have some report for you for this Easter and Spring season :-)) Please enjoy !

We had an easter egg coloring competition for our church Sister fellowships activity last Friday. This was our very first time to organize this kind of activity and our sisters enjoyed so much. We colored with crayon and I was the only judge to decide who is the winner.

 These are three decorated eggs with different pattern which won the prizes.

 The winners !! Happy !!

 Easter eggs coloring by sisters in our church.

 Participants- mother & daughter

 Despite the age, they did concentrate on their egg....haha !

Speaking of spring, I wish to share my garden with you. Not only in spring, ( even though we don't have four season here) my garden is all-year-round greenery. My husband love to plant different kind of trees and small plants. We enjoy fresh air everyday.:-))

I hope that you enjoy my blog post and please don't forget to leave a comment and hops to my other DT friends' blog as a chance to win fabulous prize from Magnolia.

Hope that you have a happy Easter/ Spring !!

I am alive + Bali Trip Photos

Hello my friends,
How are you lately ?
I have no cards to show you today and I feel sorry that I didn't update my blog recently. I was in creative sabbatical ( which I learned from my crafty friend Jing Van Opstal). I went to Bali for a short and relax trip and here I share some photos with you.
Bali is a unique place. I love it besides the hot weather. Food, beach, accommodation all are perfect. I will go to Bali again, specially Ubud , if I have chance.

Entrance of Tanah Lot

   Sitting at the Tirta Empul Temple with beautiful sarong.

I love this duck. It called smoked duck, a must-try-food when you visit Bali. Even the steamed rice was so yummy.

Oil painting stall at Ubud Market.

 At Uluwatu. I remember the Twelve Apostles at Melbourne.Great Scene.

Ubud Market

Lovina Beach, where we went for dolphin trip. Excellent!

Thanks for viewing my photos and see you next week , promise ! :-))
