♥ FOREVER YOURS ♥

Good morning everyone! What a lovely day we're having today here in Sydney.  Hope you're all doing very well upon reading this post.  My card for today is my entry for SSCC75 - and the challenge is K.I.S.S which means, Keep It Simple Sisters.  And the challenge calls for a single layer card for me. :) This was actually the card I made for hubby last Valentine's day.  I was about to post this the same day the challenge was posted but I didn't want hubby to see it on the web first before seeing it personally. LOL!

The two tiny-weeny cup and saucer sets were from Stampendous "From the Kitchen" stamp set.  I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured in with Copics. The sentiment is from another stamp set which I forgot the brand name.  Prior to stamping the images, I lightly sponged a bluish ink for some added effect.

ETA: The heart image was hand drawn by me using a Copic multiliner. :)

Thanks for looking and have a lovely Thursday!

God bless!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello everyone! Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! I was thinking of making a V'day card for my DH yesterday as I've been feeling a bit guilty knowing I make cards for the challenges, for the stamp companies where I'm a DT/GDT and yet I don't have anything for him! Plus the fact that I've been asking him to send the cards through the post for some of our friends and yet I don't have anything to hand him.

So, yesterday during my me time, while the kids are away for school/childcare and he's at work, I decided to make a special card for him. Once I'm done with the colour combo that I want, I easily managed to finish the card.

To those who do not know, "brown" is my favourite colour that's why of all SU! cs that I have, Choc Chip has the most stock! :) I stamped my image onto Soft Sky using Versamark and Choc Chip then heat-embossed it in clear embossing powder. The sentiment was computer-generated which was printed onto the Soft Sky with a brown computer ink to match the Choc Chip. The Choc Chip ribbon was given to me by a very sweet and kind SU! demo (Jesse) with whom I always make my SU! orders. Thanks Jesse! She sent me a couple of ribbons, and this one's included there.

So, last night when we got home after our Bible study, I waited for the clock to strike 12 and then handed this to him. He displayed the sweetest Valentine smile on his face as he thanked and kissed me and greeted me back! He really is a gift from God and I'm so blessed to have him.

The kids and I are so much blessed!

I guess this is all for now. Have to prepare lunch and make some cards afterwards. :) Spread the love today and greet all your loved ones a Happy Valentine's Day!

God bless us all!

hugs,

Happy Valentine's Day!

New Blog Background and a Valentine's Card

Hello blogging community! I've been browsing for a new blog background and I ended up with something much similar to my previous background - only this time it has a touch of green on it. But I like it! How about you? ;)

Well, after finishing my card for FS105, while I'm sorting out and cleaning up my stuffs, I saw this left-over dp by Heidi Grace and a pink cardstock with a size good enough to make a card. So, without wasting any time, I whipped up a Valentine's card, stamped and heat-embossed my sentiment (see? I told you, I'll be using this gun more often now, lol!). Cuttlebugged the pink panel and put them altogether! I finished it off by putting dots all over the black cs using my white gel pen. And here's my finished product:

A very simple Valentine's card. I'll be sending this to a friend this week hoping it would reach her before Valentine's day. This is actually a small card measuring 5" x 4.125", but still I managed to make a mini lay-out/sketch for this. lol! I just realized that black and pink look good together. Well, it was actually my husband who made me realize that because he's the one who took notice of it. My hubby is my number one critic and I appreciate it 'coz it gives me that little push to go out of my comfort zone and to improve my cardmaking skills. :)

I feel like making another card before I go to sleep but..hmmm, well...let's just wait and see.

Thanks for reading my blog and for following it. It means a lot to me and it helps knowing I somehow inspired you in my own little way.

Happy stamping!

Me,
