IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!

Hello everyone!! Yeah, it's my birthday today! :) I thank God for another birthday and I just really feel so blessed. Thank you to those who follow and visit my blog eventhough I'm not posting often lately. (but I sure am making cards!) Things just get busy around the house and as I have mentioned on my previous post, my craft space has been moved to another room so I still have some organising to be done. But I will be posting my cards soon so please do check back!

Tomorrow on the other hand is our Wedding Anniversary! How's that to be thankful for?! And because of those celebrations, I will be having a candy but I'm still putting the stuffs together. You'll be seeing it "hopefully" before the week ends and it's a simple blog candy to show my appreciation to my readers and followers.

Happy Birthday to me (LOL!) and to all those who are celebrating their birthdays with me today!

God bless us all!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!

I'm Still HERE! :)

Happy Sunday everyone! How are you? Sorry for not posting lately. Hubby is on a 3-wk holiday from work and we're doing a lot of Spring cleaning around the house. But that doesn't mean I'm not making cards, I had in fact, made 6 cards the past few days. It's just that I don't have time to take photos of them and post them here. One more thing, my craft area is being moved from the master's bedroom to my son's room! LOL!!! Yeah, I told hubby I really need a "space". So, please be patient with me 'coz soon as I'm done with all these things, you will see me posting every single day! :)

God bless everyone! Will be back with new cards and a "candy"!!!

CAS34 - Colour Challenge

And the challenge is to use the colours: pink, blue, green (and chocolate - optional).

I haven't been making Tilda cards lately (and I miss using my Prismas and Copics) that's why I decided to use her this time.

.

I coloured Tilda (which is a RAK image I received from an online friend) with a combo of Prismacolor pencils and Copics. I've read somewhere that if you'll use these two together (meaning going over Prisma using Copics or vice versa), the safest is to use Copic first then go over your colouring with Copics. And that's what I did here (and I normally do whenever I decide to use the two mediums).

CAS as it is (clean and simple), I just cut my frames using Labels 4, stamped a Darkroom Door butterfly onto Gable Green cs using Choc Chip, adhered to the left side of the sentiment then finished off with 3 Kaiser pearls (chocolate). I used Martha Stewar Crystal Fine Glitter on the heart that Tilda is holding. :)

Thanks for the visit. Til next post! Have a lovely evening!

God bless!

ODBD for A Wedding Anniversary

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you're all doing very fine upon reading my post. This will just be a very quick one as I still have to prepare DS2 for his childcare.

I made this card last Friday for the 41st wedding anniversary of our church pastor and his wife. I used this never-been-inked Bible verse from ODBD Scripture Collection 1 which I believe would fit any occasion. :) I stamped it with Versafine (Crimson Red), heat-embossed with clear ep and used chalk around the verse for some added effect.

Gorgeous papers? Yeah, they're from K&Company Charlotte paper pad collection. Bought this from Windsor Cottage Botanicals on special (and they're still on special up to 30th Sept). You still have a day to avail of its 25% off on their gorgeous papers so visit the shop now and grab yourself some stuffs!

Have to go now. But before I go, can I please ask you to include prayers for the people in the Philippines who got affected with the recent typhoon Ondoy? I originally came from Philippines and my heart breaks everytime I see my fellow Filos submerged in deep flood waters and most of them lost their homes and some of their loved ones. :( Manila is the capital of the Philippines and right now, most of its parts are flooded and devastated by the recent typhoon. So please, include them in your quiet time with our Lord. TIA.

Thanks for the visit. Will be posting more later!

First Communion Card

Happy Monday everyone! (it's already 12:27am here in Australia) I'm actually about to sleep but remembered that I haven't actually posted this card yet. I made this First Communion Card last Thursday as my friend requested me to make her one.

This is my very first time to make such card and I was thinking where to start since I don't have any stamps related to it. I googled for some images and came up with this "praying hands". I printed it onto my Whisper White cs (edited the image as washout as I wanted it to be soft looking) then did some sponging around it using So Saffron.

It could have been much easier if it's for a girl, lol! But then it's for her nephew so yeah, I struggled a bit when I was creating this but thank God, I was able to do it! :) She chose this particular verse from ODBD Scripture Collection 1 which I stamped and heat-embossed with clear ep. I did some sponging here using Versacolor Baby Blue, SU! Soft Sky, Bashful Blue and Ballet Blue. I also did some slight sponging in the middle using So Saffron. Glad she liked it when I handed it to her last Friday.

Okay, off to sleep now. It's been so windy and cold this day and it seems to me that winter is coming back again. LOL!

God bless everyone! Thanks for stopping by.

First Communion Card

Vintage Birthday

Hi all! Sorry I wasn't able to come back yesterday to post this card that I promised you. Things just got busy and I didn't get the chance to sit and post. Anyway, here it is...a Vintage Birthday card which a friend of mine requested for her mum.

What can you say about the gorgeous dp?? Very gorgeous isn't it?!?? And yes, they're from K&Company Charlotte collection. It's very lovely as they look like fabric or a very expensive wallpaper, lol! And they're very vintage to look at!

I used 3 colours of cs here. Purely Pomegranate for the base, Rose Red for the Labels 4 frame and the one punched with Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch, and of course Whisper White for the sentiment panel. The Bible verse btw is from Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection 1 which was stamped with Purely Pomegranate (loaded with Versamark first) then heat-embossed with clear ep.

I once again did some faux stiching here after edge distressing and inking to make it look more vintage. Flowers are from Prima which I also sponged with Versafine Vintage Sepia.

This lovely K&Company paper was purchased from Windsor Cottage Botanicals and they have an ongoing 25% off on designer papers 'til the end of this month. There are lots of good finds there so visit it when you get the chance.

Thanks for the visit until next post.
