yay

My toasty Valentine's Day card won the Lawnscaping Challenge #27! I am so honoured to be picked as Queen of the Green amongst such talent! :D Thanks so much to Lawnscaping. I appreciate all the lovely comments I received for my card too. Each and every one makes my day!

 

It's my first challenge win ever. I am very encouraged and inspired :) 

Thanks for visiting and hope you're having an awesome weekend. I'm going to see Roxette in concert tonight. I was a huge fan in the 80s and 90s and reminiscing over their fantastic songs lately, I still am a fan :)

toasty

It's been a while since I participated in a challenge, so when Lawnscaping came up with this Valentine's Day one, I thought I'd give it a shot:

I love the red, white, pink and cream in the inspiration photo and created this:

I went for something whimsical: a toast on a tyre swing and rolling hills of pink. I thought of the line: 'You make my heart sing' and thought, why not: 'You make my heart swing' hehe :)

I am also entering this card into the CAS-ual Fridays paper piecing challenge:

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Lunar New Year! May the Year of the Dragon bring you many blessings! 

I am a Dragon! :)

Tonight I'm having steamboat with my family. I made these paper dolls - stamped from My Cute Stamps, coloured with copics and paper pieced with Basic Grey's 'Lauderdale'.

Then I popped them up with dimensionals on these simple red packets (ang pow) I created. It is no fun having to give money (instead of once receiving it) but I had fun doing this!

Until next time, thanks for visiting :)

cards

Hey there, remember me? ;) I hope 2012 is treating you well! 

This blog has been sorely neglected, but it's one of my resolutions to post in it more regularly which means cardmaking more regularly too. I also want to start some scrapbooking especially to preserve some memories of my rapidly growing and ever changing boys as well as being able to keep the majority of my pretty supplies ;) 

In other papercrafting news, I subscribed to the awesome Studio Calico monthly kit and all the gorgeous pieces you get in those bags are inspiring! I have yet to make a dent in any kit. I've only nibbled at a few...

Here's a mini card I made. Lawn fawn has the cutest images:

Here's a few of the many Christmas cards I made:

 

And here's another card I made for my sister for her birthday :) I used Jennifer McGuire's chevron technique and Crate Paper's lovely 'Paper Heart' collection. It took me ages, but I like the result. The cute bear is from Paper Smooches :)

I hope all these cards will somewhat make up for my absence ;) Thanks for stopping by, I'll post again soon...:)

bunny

Hi Everyone! :) 

I'm still thinking CAS and came up with this set of 3 x 3" mini cards :) 

I simply stamped this cute bunny from Unity Stamp with Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate and Coffee Bean, then added sentiments from Paper Smooches. I adore the whimsical font!

I fiddled around with putting ribbon, twine and buttons on these cards, but decided to leave them as they were :)

Hope you're having a great weekend!

monster

I am still very much a beginner in the papercrafting world, but as I craft, my style is beginning to show. It's definitely a clean and simple (CAS) style. I love cute images paired with bright colours in a clean design. I also aspire to use more white space and let the colours and images speak for themselves :)

I love this lil monster guy from Paper Smooches and the bold sentiment from Lawn Fawn. I've also found that I love grid backgrounds :) Mini cards are the best! This one is 4 x 4 inches. 

I am entering this into the CAS-ual Fridays Mini Cards CFC #20 challenge.

Thanks for visiting! :)

ghost

Amy Tangerine is my new favourite designer. I am totally in love with her inspiring collection. Her designs and colours are so funky, fresh and adorable. I made this card using: 'Hanging Out', 'Woodness Gracious' papers and the gorgeous 'hello friend' dimensional sticker!

The two little ghosts are from Lawn Fawn's 'Happy Haunting'. They're so cute and look friendly, I thought they'd be a perfect match to the sentiment! :)

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Spring is upon us so I'm going to do some clothes shopping today. I love Sundays, it's when my hubby looks after the kids ;)

Thanks for stopping by! :)
