Digiscrap Heaven

This morning after I woke up and automatically reached my Black Berry to check emails, I was excited to find an email from Ju Kneipp to announce my acceptance in her CT team! Like a dream comes true... I've been collecting her products and used them constantly in portfolio challenges at Sweet Shoppe Designs or my personal layouts. So eager to work with her creation every week!

Wait... my luck didn't stop right there... Last night before I went to sleep, I checked The Digi Dares and was totally surprised to see my layout announced as their Pick of the Week! Yaay... I am entitled for 40$ coupons from all the darers this month... yihaaa... To tell you the truth, I almos missed the dare because I only submitted it 2 hours before the deadline on Thursday 10pm ET (I thought I was already too late because in Indonesia time it was Friday 10.15 am, hahaha...).

To make things even better, when I looked at the winning layout at DST (I didn't know why I posted it on DST, I just did it without automatically thinking...:)), guess what? I got GSO from DST too!!! Can you believe that...

Three strikes in a day! Am I in a Digiscrap Heaven today? Lady luck surely works mysteriously... :).

Gallery Stand Out with First Day at Grade 1!

I'm so proud to announce that this layout has been featured in Little Green Frog Design's Gallery Standout! I used LGFD's Template Tuesday : November 6 and Kristin Aagard's School Daze. I used to browse the gallery for inspiration and was thrilled to see my layout there. Wow.... ! Here is my layout using a cute picture of Alyssa's first day at school :

Second GSO at Gallery Standout

What a great way to start October! This morning I browsed Gallery Standout to find some inspiration (I've been following this website for quite some time) and surprisingly find my layout there! Layouts featured in Gallery Standout are usually art journaling style, the ones with serious blending techniques and heavy brush usage. That's way to see my work there is like a miracle!

Actually, this is a last minute layout because I've snagged the A Work in Progress kit by Inspired Designs a few days ago but haven't submitted my layout yet. You know.... haven't found my mojo yet :). But after browsing in ScrapMatters' blog, I decided to scraplift one of the layout in the Gallery Standout Showcase.  And this is the comments : Awwwe!! Good for her!! And good for her for documenting her achievement!! I love the then and now pictures and she will love having such an inspiring story around for herself or her children to enjoy.

This layout is the second layout chosen as GSO there. There is a funny sory about the first one, though. Lily from Pixelily Designs shared a link of this site on Digi Scrap Indonesia in Facebook, and when I followed the link... voila there is my layout . I opened my mouth in total awe, LOL! Here is the layout :

LOTW and GSO at ScrapMatters

Yesterday I browsed ScrapMatters' blog because I remembered seeing some great layouts I want to scraplift to be used on my next project. Surprisingly I found that some of my layouts were featured as Layout of The Week & Gallery Stand Out. Yaay.... Three of the layouts are done with Siamese Studio's kits while the last one is created with Picture Designs' kit.

This is the first layout submitted during the Queen of Scrap contest using Peacock Dreams. It received a whooping 13 comments! Wow,  I've never got that many before. I certainly must join the contest again next year :).

This one is the second layout I created with Summerwings, another beautiful kit full of colorful flowers and unique papers. It is also featured on the blog. I love reading all the nice comments I received in my gallery!

And this one the the third one, using Autumn Breeze. Here is the link to the GSO thread. I really proud of the clustering I made around the page. It's not easy to alternate different shadow style for various elements, but it surely paid off!

Last but no least, this is the layout I made with Picture Designs' Visible Changes. I got 9 comments and LOTW with this one :).

I hope to get many more in the future. So, let's be more creative and always learn new techniques!
