BUTTERFLIES

3 is an ODD number, right? =)

Here's my simple card for this weeks Ways to Use It Challenge set by Julia and the theme is "Odds Are". There has to be something odd in your card; ODD as in not divisible by two not the ODD that is strange or peculiar in meaning, LOL!

In this card I have 3 butterflies, 3 Kaiser pearls (Rose) and 1 butterfly that is fully made up(it's the one in the middle, unfortunately you cannot see its colours clearly in this photo)! Just made it very simple and use some scraps lying around my craft table.

Thanks for looking and TGIF!! =)

Hugs,

Jhet

MY FIRST CARD FOR 2010!

And it's a card for the CC257 (colour combo challenge) over SCS! The colours for this week are: Choc Chip-Dusty Durango-Sage Shadow.

Hello everyone! Wow! It's been almost 2mos since I stamped and made a card. And I was making this card yesterday, I felt like a first-timer stamper!! I stamped my image thrice before I got it right! LOL!! I don't have the Dusty Durango yet so I had to replace it with Real Rust. Image from Darkroom Door was stamped using Versacolor Topaz (which is close to that of Real Rust) and the sentiment from Stampendous was stamped using Choc Chip. I did some sponging around the image using Versacolor Vanilla. I finished off the card with four tiny Kaiser pearl chocolate at the four corners.

Don't want to do any complicated cards for now as I'm still getting the hang of it. LOL!!

Have a blessed Thursday!

MY FIRST CARD FOR 2010!

HAPPY SUNDAY!! ( and a SWEET STUFF from Jacque)

Hello everyone!! Happy New Year to all of you!! Wow! How are you all doing?? It's been almost 2mos since I last posted here. As you all know, we've been to a month-long holiday in the Philippines and we really had a great time!! I got to see all my siblings, my father, relatives and my closest friends. Thank God for that holiday!! We're now again actually planning for our next, lol!! God-willing, maybe after 2yrs. It depends on God's leading but I believe that when He wills it, it will be all perfect!! I will be posting some of my fave holiday pics here in my later posts.

Anyways, I haven't had the chance to sit on my craft table as I'm still trying to settle things around the house. Especially that my DS2 has started schooling now although his school sched isn't yet regular but once it is, I'm sure I can stamp and share my cards with you once again. Well, a friend of a churchmate is actually asking me to make their wedding invitations so I guess, if it will push through, those cards will be the first ones that I will be making this 2010. :)

Ohh, want some SWEET STUFF by the way??? The talented Jacque is offering some sweet stuffs for us bloggers. Click the link on my sidebar and it will take you directly to her sweet stuff post and for the conditions on how to join. ;-)

Offer ends on Feb22, so what are you waiting for??

Have a blessed Sunday and don't forget to go to church.

Hugs,

HAPPY SUNDAY!! ( and a SWEET STUFF from Jacque)

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you! My family and I are on a one-month holiday overseas that's why I just want to let you know that there'll be no new card uploads until we get back to Sydney. At the moment, I'm simply savouring my time bonding with my family and friends here in the Philippines as we haven't seen each other for 4 years. :)

I hope you understand and I hope you won't get tired of following my blog. Rest-assured that I will be stamping after our holiday. :)

Thanks so much for visiting and I'll give you updates once in a while.

God bless and Merry Christmas once again.

Hugs,

Jhet

Merry Christmas!

UPDATE (with a card)

Hello everyone! Happy Thursday to all of you! Wow! Time flies so fast that I've just noticed I haven't been posting for almost a week now. I'm so sorry for that, guys. It has been a busy week for all of us here at home and WILL still be very busy as we approach our long-awaited holiday overseas!

My kids (and I) are actually doing the countdown! LOL! And I never thought packing will be that hard. I have to make a checklist so as not to forget something not to mention the things that my siblings want me to bring back home. :) And that's the reason why I don't have the time to sit and stamp so I hope you understand. I will probably won't be sharing much of my craft work for a few weeks as I will be busy exchanging updates, chatting, strolling here and there with my family and friends during our holiday! Well I have to make the most out of it as I haven't seen them for 4 straight years! So, just imagine. ;)

Anyways, I was able to whip a card the other day and I just went simple as possible as I did this in-between the packing and house chores. :)

Look how simple it is! But I really like it. :) I just went all white with a touch of Purely Pomegranate. I embossed the horizontal panel with Cuttlebug Holly embossing folder and sprayed Glimmer Mist Pearl generously on it. Though you can't see it on this shot, IRL it's really glimmery. I stamped my sentiment directly to the card base with my ODBD Stamp Joy to the World set using Purely Pomegranate Ink. And YAY for me 'coz I already have the "new" Martha Stewart Floral Vine deep edge punch! Wohoo!! Would you believe I was able to purchase it here in Australia??? Yeah, I got it from LimeTart with the kind assistance of its owner, Philippa. Thanks so much Philippa!! I finished off the card with some Plum pearls (Kaisercraft) and Prima flowers that complement the card. I gave this card yesterday to my son's Speech Therapist as they will have a session break for the holiday and she so liked it!

So, what do you think??

This is all for now and thank you so much for visiting eventhough I don't post that much lately. Rest-assured that I will be popping in once in awhile to update you.

God bless everyone! Keep smiling! =)

{WT248} HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Happy Friday everyone! This week's SCS Ways to Use It theme is "Let's Go Caroling". Make a card, altered project, tag etc., and incorporate it with the "carol song" that you chose or that inspired you. I chose Happy Holidays (by Bing Crosby) and used my Carolers stamp from Clearly Wordsworth.

I stamped and paper-pieced my image with the same Kaisercraft dsp that I used as background. I did some sponging and used Stickles here and there for some bling.

Thanks for looking and hope you will all have a Happy Holidays!

Have a blessed day!
