Artsy Getaway

This is what am dying for recently, a week of artsy people gathering (please read as scrapbookers event *yaay*). Hopefuly I could still participate, since they don't have many spots left anymore.

Please oh please Mother of Earth count me in *finger crossed*

M.S.I

I've been twice time in d last week went to a scrapshop, My Scrapbook Ideas which was formerly named as ScrapKing. I was exteremely surprised yet soo happy when I knew that My Scrapbook Ideas is under FoodHall - MAP group, since I got 12 MAP vouchers as my birthday gift from my beloved one, Divi Analis to be spent.

I was soo happyyy, cos I didn't know this at first. First thought which came up on my mind, when he gave me that gift was "Is he insane? How should I spend this vouchers in their such expensive stores? U name it.. Debenhams, FCuk, Dorothy Perkins, Massimo Dutti, Miss Selfridge, Top Shop even Sogo seems still not affordable for me.. I mean give me the cash of 1,2 milion rupiah, and I'll shop in lower-budget-stores.. Yep, for sure.. Gue bisa pulang dengan berkantong-kantong barang belanjaan instead of just one or two bags with branded things.. def not me ! Tapi hal itu ga berlaku ya untuk scrapbook shopping.. hehehe..

Overall, I like this scrap store, since they have several branches which spread all over Jakarta, u can easily find them.. Di daerah Senayan aja, mereka punya dua cabang, I just have to walk a little bit, then I'll find it.. Yummiiiee.. :))

U can find My Scrapbook Ideas here :
- Bintaro Junction
- Food Hall Grand Indonesia
- Food Hall Senayan City
- Food Hall Kebon Jeruk
- Food Hall Plaza Senayan
- Gramedia Puri Indah

Barang-barang di MSI ini hampir semuanya impor, tapi kalo soal harga, been compared it with one of the scrap store in FX, di MSI ini tergolong lebih murah. Seperti S.e.i Chalk Ink Stamp harganya Rp. 27.500, bedanya bisa sampai Rp. 8.000 dengan yang di FX itu, untuk harga kertasnya berkisar antara Rp. 7.000 - Rp 22.000 dengan pilihan item yang lebih banyak pula.

Satu yang menurutku kurang dari toko ini, mereka ga banyak nyedian product scrap tools, seperti puncher, eyelet, embosser, etc. Karena biasanya, I prefer to buy tools which is more long lasting than papers, stickers, or any other embellishments, karena bahan-bahan ini bisa diakalin dengan memakai yang lokal punya atau bikin sendiri dari bahan-bahan yang jauh lebih murah dan mudah didapat.. Hasil yang bagus kan ga harus mahal, that's the essence.

The sneak peek from my last visit..

U might like this:
1. For every purchase minimal Rp. 250.000 u'll get one free class with the teacher. Class is held every weekend, with minimal 3 students.
2. Untuk pita-pita berbahan nylon, saat ini mereka sedang ada promo buy 1 ribbon get 30 % disc @ Rp. 8500, while buy 1 box (62 ribbons) get 50 % disc, sekitar Rp. 400.000, untill August 2010. I def heart this :>.

Happy scrapbooking y'all ^.^

Four Seasons

Lima hari sebelum acara Buka Bersama Londo '04 dan Arisan, Friska and I talked about what should we give to Dahlia in the name of Londo '04. Kita sepakat ngasi Dain sesuatu yang bisa dikenang, dan bisa dibawa serta ke Belanda nanti.. Akirnya setelah perdebatan panjang sampe gontok-gontokan.. *hahaha lebay*, we decided to made a Scrapbook for her, with me as the creator, while Friska mengurusi saweran dan nagihin pesan serta foto anak-anak.

Here's the idea, I want Dahlia feels like she has US in her new surrounding..
The mandatory is, it has to include the notes from all of Us and also the 49 photos of us...

So here it goes..

* We'll there for you in four different seasons *

* Everyone could send their messages, even in the very last minute.
Just insert it to the envelope. Easy :) ! *

~ Spring ~
*I love feeling the crispness of fall and the sensuality of spring (Christopher Meloni Well)*

~ Summer ~

* There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart (Celia Thaxter) *

~ Autumn ~
* Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn ( Elizabeth lawrence )*

~ Winter ~
* Days like these let you savor a bad mood (Calvin and Hobbes) *

* The conclusion : "So You'll Never Alone" *

Like James Taylor's song "You've Got a Friend".. We'll there also for you...
~ Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall... all you have to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend ~

Ps : Special thanks to Kiky for the photos.. ^.^

* The brand : Sofis *

Just Like a Star

I've mentioned in my previous post, sekilas tentang Dahlia Isnaini dan kepergiannya ke Belanda.
I wanna leave something sweet to her, yang bisa diingat dan dikenang sepanjang masa. I could gave her legging with some several colour choices which she asked for her farewell present, but it's just not sooo me. Sory Dain, your wish isn't my command this time :)

So I made a project to her.
Awalnya aku mau buat collage card, yang di dalamnya dipenuhi dengan foto-foto kami dari mulai jaman kuliah dulu sampe sekarang. Karena itu, ukuran kertasnya aku bikin setengah A4. But later on I thot it would be great if I framed it, because she can display it in her room in Netherland, besides this would my very 1st project using frame, so why not I made it for the very special one. *ting ting*

Project ini ngasih aku pelajaran yang berharga banget. Simple sih, tapi ga kepikiran sebelumnya. Catet ya Dhiesta, next time, tentuin dulu mau pake frame yang ukuran berapa, baru deh setelah itu background kertasnya. Bukan sebaliknya -___-.

I bought the frame in the very last minute, because the shop is near by Dain's house in Depok, jadi aku pikir sekalian lewat. We were very late, almost 2 hours than the appointment.
Meskipun ada sedikit mislukt sana sini about this project, tapi aku cukup puas dengan hasilnya..

"I learn in every process, that makes me better"

*Reach your Star, Dahlia the Flower*

*Copy buat dain yang ga pernah menyerah*

*From Us to You*

*Orange Flanel Stars*

*All the best goes to you*

*Sang creator mejeng, sambil muka bengep krn ngantuk*

*Terpaksa harus digunting sekitar 2 cm headernya* :((

*After Framed, 30x30 cm*

~ Bingar & Rio ~

This is it.. bulan yang ditunggu-tunggu akhirnya datang juga... The marriage of my lovely cousin.. Cicilia Bingar, atau yang lebih sering kupanggil dengan Mba' Ari..

I cant believe she finally reached this phase of life... Mba Ary yang tomboi, cuek dan selalu berusaha mati-matian buat ngurusin badan, akirnya menemukan tambatan hatinya dan memutuskan untuk menikah. WOW ! I never thot it would happend this fast, at her age. I thot she's probably get married at the age of 30 or something, maybe.. well, i dunno..

Aku dan Mba Ary bisa dibilang ga punya kenangan masa kecil yang banyak.. kalo diibaratkan dengan orang pacaran, we were doing the LDR... I'm in Jakarta while she's in Semarang, kampung halamanku.. Satu-satunya yang bisa mempertemukan kami adalah acara-acara besar keluarga dan Natal adalah acara yang paling kusuka, karena mau ga mau aku pasti akan ketemu dia.. Meskipun intensitas pertemuan kami ga banyak, but she really is a good cousin, selalu perhatian dengan menanyakan kabarku atau memberikan wejangan kaka sepupu sotoy ala kadarnya hehehe..

I cant afford to buy her a washmashine or a refrigerator... kado-kado yang wajib dikasih buat keluarga baru.. so I gave a fully-customized-made-from-the-heart scrapbook card, together with a lingerie.. heehee... the second was the idea from the three of us, my another cousin and my sista..

Here's the project..

*1st page*



*lilac as background colour combined with purple flower,
metal butterflies embellishments and stars beaded-bead*



*The tagline*



*2nd page,
Open it and the joy emerge, that's the idea*



*Taraa... We are all pop up*



*Us Adel, Dhiesta & Tia*



*Congrattsss... *



*Again, purple flower embellishment*



*Bride Pop Up Sticker*



*In case any of u wants to make a custom scrapbook card,
please do not hesitate to contact detail below*

Happy wedding to both of you.. Mas Iyo, jaga Mba Ari baik2 yaaa...
PS : I love her much..
