So, what do you think?

Quick Post - TILDA Going Green (WT209)

Hello everyone! This is just a very quick post as we will be picking up DS2 from childcare in 15mins. I just want to share with you my WT209 challenge card (Going Green literally) over SCS.

I must admit that my Mojo's been on holiday for the past few days now :( but with this challenge, I tried to come up with a decent and acceptable card, at least. lol!

Here it is:

I used Tilda (another RAK image from an online friend, Debbie) and my untouched DCWV Nana's Nursery (girls) stack. Soon as I saw the challenge, having green on it, I know straight away what paper to use. I coloured Tilda with my Prismacolor pencils with odourless solvent, cut and pop-dotted her for 3d look. I used double pop dots on the flower to make it pop even more than the rest of the image. I then sponged around the panel with my Versacolor ink (Lime and Olive), stamped my Studio G sentiment on Whisper White and matted it on Purely Pomegranate which was also matted into another set of Whisper White and Purely Pomegranate oval nesties.

Okay this is it for now, have to get going. Thanks for looking and I just hope my Mojo will come back the soonest. :)

God bless us all!

Hugs to all,

Happy 10th Birthday to my son JARED!

Hi everyone! 10years ago, I gave birth to a baby boy named, Jared. I just want to make this simple post for him as he celebrates his birthday today...

Happy Birthday, Jared! You're 10years old today. I just pray that God will continue to bless you and that He will guide Mommy and Daddy so that we can bring you up the way He wants you to be.

(this is Jared at 2 1/2 yrs old)

(this is me & him now)

Where did the years go? He's growing up sooo fast.

Happy 10th Birthday, son. We love you so much! May God bless you always!!

Happy 10th Birthday to my son JARED!

2 Cards for Today

Yay! I made 2 cards for today. :) One of those two cards is a very simple one which I submitted for LSC210 (cards you can create for less than 30mins). This is also my swap card over a parenting site wherein I'm also a member. :)

Here in this card, I used Bella Butterfly from Bizzy Becs Stamps.




This is just a very simple card and indeed very easy to make. I chose pastel/subtle colours as this is the challenge set on my swap. This is the first time I coloured the hair of my image in yellow tone. lol! I normally use browns/sienna on the image's hair but this one is different. Since I want to achieve the soft look, I went yellowish. ;)

The other card isn't one of the two cards I made today. I will share the other one with you probably tomorrow as it's still awaiting approval. The next card was made yesterday and it's a thank you card for Debbie who have sent me heaps of Tilda stamped images. I used one of those in this card...I just hope she likes it.


I really like colouring images with big spaces like this one. You can do a lot of shading and blending with such. I will be sending this to her tomorrow along with the stamped images I have for her.

Okay gotta go now as I will still make another card. I'm taking the opportunity as my MOJO seems to be on high gear atm. Gotta take advantage of it. lol!

Blessings to all and good night!

Hugs,

2 Cards for Today

Inky Impressions 1st Design Team Call

Good Morning everyone! Hope you're having a good start of the week. Days really pass by so quick. It's seems only yesterday when my DS1 Jared was just a little boy and now he's turning 10 this Thursday (March 12)!!! Where did the years go?

Anyways, Inky Impressions is having their first-ever DT Call and these are the cards that I'm submitting for that call. We are to showcase our best cards that we coloured-in ourselves. I chose these two cards as these are on my favs list. I chose 2 cards with 2 different colouring mediums used.

The first one is Sarah Kay which was coloured with Copics and other markers.


And the second one is Sugar Nellie which was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and odourless solvent (similar to Gamsol).

Here's hoping my submission will somehow be considered. Thanks for looking and have a blessed day everyone!

Hugs from me,

Pam and Buster {Best Friends}

Howdy fellow stampers and bloggers! I'm here once again with another card to share. And yeah, I'm getting back on track...slowly. And I just hope I will be in high gear (like I used to) in no time. :)

This card features Pam and Buster from InStyle Stamps. I paper-pieced Pam using Heidi Grace dp which I also used on my panel and coloured the rest of her with my Prismacolor pencils. And oh, I also paper-pieced Buster's shirt. lol! And since Pam's dress has polka dots, I decided to make the dots myself for Buster's with my Sakura gel pen. How do you like it?

I also made a little scene on this card. I sponged SU! Soft Sky to make the sky and a bit of Versacolor sponging between sky and the ground. The sentiment used is from Studio G. Here's another shot...just slightly different angle than the first one.

They really look like BFF with their clothes and "cool smiles". lol! My colour combo for this one is Wild Wasabi and Groovy Guava. I really like the outcome as it looks so soft to the sight.

Visit the ISS blog for the sneak peaks and the ISS shop to buy these gorgeous stamps and digi downloads. ;)

Have a blessed day. Happy stamping!!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge

Good Morning from the Land Down Under!! Yes, after 5days of absence in the blogging world, I'm here once again sharing with you a card that I've just finished a few minutes ago. I'm so glad I was able to start making a card again and honestly speaking, I found it a bit hard at first as I have to keep the creativity juice flowing after not doing anything for a couple of days.

Anyway, there's a new challenge in town and it's the Magnolia Down Under Challenges! I felt so excited upon knowing about this challenge as I'm from the land Down Under as well (Australia). This is Challenge #1 & for this challenge we were asked for 3 things..

- there must be something RED
- you have to use Tilda (not Edwin)
- and the theme must be Autumn

And here's my card for this...


This particular Tilda image was just given to me as RAK from Debbie (of scrapbook.com). The papers used were also RAK from one of my SBS sisters' Kathy! She gave these to me last year and it's only now that I was able to use it. I coloured Tilda with Prismacolor pencils, gettingas close as possible to the colours of the dp. I embossed my Pumpkin Pie cs with Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder and matted it onto a Choc Chip cs. I finished the card off with Prima flowers, a brad and red buttons.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog once again and I will try my very best to post more often and be productive the way I used to. :)

Have a blessed day and I'll see you on my next post.
