I am using 3mm acrylic for the front and back cover, inside are 3 pages that I built up in layering Pantone envelope with Hambly transparancies, and K&co tag. The main goal in making this album is to allow viewer to be interested in looking what is behind each page because it's a little bit see through, and the pages are not in usual shape. The advantage of using envelopes is you can put your letters or more journaling inside. I also using LeFranc&Bourgeois deco acrylic 3D for the outline of the transparancies to make it pop. For finishing up, I stamp in several area using Stazon and outlining it with white pen, then emboss the tittle 'artist' and the envelope signs using embossing powder and heat gun. Tie up the ribbons are the finish thrill. Voila!
Preparation for this class is took quite some of my free time and my mind to create some challenging skill for my advanced students, two of them are already Scrapking teacher, yet they still eagerly wanting to learn many new things. Proud of them, really. Then two of the students had to drop the class one day before because their family member were hospitalized, feel so sorry for them. Well, we go with six people on board then.







But at the end of this 4 hours class, when all of them looked at the finished album gladly (one of them really wish her husband could appreciate the hard work process she'd been through in making this album...not only saying,"Hm, good." as usual...LOL), I felt glad too. This story actually begin with a small accident with my car, that I had when I got home from Jakarta last week. A small rock hit the front glass of the car and it cracked. Then the insurance guy that should check it only available on Saturday, which is happen to be my first free Saturday from teaching to Jakarta after a looooong time.....so that I can gladly spent time at home. (Yes, gladly.... I love spending time at home doing lots of unnecessary but fulfilling things, you know..) So, back to the main story...





And at the Reptile Park (in front of the Bird Park) ..this more amount of fun take place..Behind the shoot, you will see Adam busy running here and there to save himself from all the 'monsters' that lying around. Adam just got tricked once when Audy said, "Kids, let's eat this iguana...."and he came near enough to it. 

Bali is not Bali without playing at the beach and get burn in the sun..and bring back all the sand and the sea shell you so excited to collect..

And yes, leaving them playing in the sand for hours while I can finished reading my new book (in the shade close by, of course) is indeed a 'guilty pleasure' - every mom would dream to have. Life is beautiful in Bali, as always.

Enjoy the lovely afternoon weather in the pool for hours until sunset?
To add the thrill of the day....we found lots of chipmunks at the hotel that were very friendly and do not hesitate to climbed down and eat peanuts and chips from our hands! The kids forgot about the chill from their wet clothes and fed the chipmunks again and again and again.....

We accidentally go to Bali Safari & Marine Park on the second day (yup, because at first we tought it will be the same with Taman Safari we knew at Puncak - Bogor, so we kind of not put too much interest on the idea. But the kids seem really want to see all the animals they can see -after we see all the bird and the reptile the day before- so, we accidentally go there..) And to our surprise...this park is different! Maybe because their target is foreigner, they make and manage all the aspect really professional. We had a bliss time (although it is indeed a really really hot day to walking around at any park...) Phew..




After breakfast, it's time to catch that beautiful morning light....


On the last morning, after I squeezed everything from their toys to all their found object safely into the suitcase, this is what I found in the terrace. How sweet. Excuse me, I had to run for my camera (Ah?Again?)
Seriously, I fall in love with this book the moment I took it out of the box at Periplus Bali (it just came in that morning). And just one copy available.Hm..in that kind of situation, I always wonder whether I found the book, or the book find me....
Don't you love the title?
Do you think it could be applied to another living things, say, human being?
Don't hesitate to say yes.
Do find it this month.
