Captured

So excited to share another scrapbook layout with you all....
I found another cool and very inspiring site that has a sketch challenge {wink} called Scrap Around The World. Their monthly sketch challenge is a bit different then the ones I used to join. It's a mix between a sketch and photo inspiration challenge.

Here's this month challenge,

First time I saw this inspiration....I was super excited. Lots of ideas ran through my mind. I love the color combination, the camera, and most of all..the sketch. One thing {the only one} that came to my mind....my baby girl's ultrasound picture. Now lets stop here for a moment.

FYI: I'm not pregnant! I just try to catch up with some old photos of my kids :D.

Now, with further ado, let me show you my layout.

This layout came out a bit of a surprise. I was playing with some gelatos, then I added a hexagon mask and sprayed some October Afternon Lemon Drop Sprinkler and walllaahhh...it was just PERFECT!! I used a mixture of pattern papers, some wood veneers, a flair, a bottle cap, and washi tape. 

I think, this page is a little messy..but I LOVE it!

Well...that's it for now.

Thanks again for stopping by, and Have a Great Week.

Little Moment

I have an opportunity to stay at home for a few weeks. So, I decided to clean my scrapbook piles up and create a layout.

I found this old photograph of me and Dustin. He was almost a year old and was learning to walk. He looked so {darn} cute on this picture.

I started to look around for a perfect sketch. Then I came across this sketch challenge blog called Sketchbook365. I LOVE the current sketch...so I played along.

Here's the sketch provided,

and below is my take on the sketch. 

It's been months since I last scrapbooked, so making this layout was totally FUN!!

I wish I could point out what products I used on this project. It was just a mix of everything....mostly older stuff. I haven't caught up with the newest and coolest scrapbooking products just yet. 

Scrapbooking is still a 'NEW' thing here in Indonesia...so the local scrapbook stores haven't carried the latest stuff. 

Anyway...I hope I can be more productive in my crafting department this few weeks.

Until then my crafty friends, and thank you for stopping by.

A Thing that I'm Grateful for

The other night, in our bedroom, and just before we go to sleep....my hubby and I had this conversation.

"Isn't this June.....?"
"Don't go further...." I said
"I thought....."
"Yup....just enjoy it!!!" I replied.

That night, a little after midnight, we both saw lots of lightnings and heard some thunders from our bedroom windows. Then it was pouring rain the whole morning.

Indonesia only has 2 seasons, rain and hot/dry, that start from October to April and vice versa. The rain season has been hanging around these past 2 months.

I LOVE Rain.

When we landed in Indonesia, back in October 2012, it was scorching HOT!!! Upper 90 almost everyday with high humidity. The rain was late...

Now...when the rain stays a little longer...I'm so grateful.

Our new life here in Indonesia....isn't as easy as we thought it would be. 

There are many {many} times that I lost control of myself...and just broke a part. 

I tried so hard to find answers and solutions...but I haven't yet figure them out.

But the other night....I learned that there is always something to be thankful for....

and right now...I'm so thankful for the extended rain season.
