Happy Sunday everyone! Wow! I'm so glad that finally, after almost a month of not creating any cards, I was able to make one today.  And not only that, I was able to enter this for this week's Free for All Challenge (F4A31) wherein you have to use "scallops".

Obviously, my scallops is the gray mat that I die-cut using my Petite Scalloped Circle (Nestabilities). Unusual colour combo, I know but these are the colours that entered my mind soon as I saw this lovely dp from Grace Taylor's Vintage Collection (bought from Big W).

This card is for our Pastor and his wife's 42nd Wedding Anniversary.  I gave them cards for 2 straight years now and I don't want to miss giving them another one this year.  I'm thankful because if it weren't for this occasion, I think my crafting stuffs will continue to gather dust. :(  I just hope the creative juice will start to flow on  a regular basis now.

The encouraging Bible scripture stamp was from Unity Stamps' Something Within set. I bought this more than a month ago, and I think I've only used 2 stamps from the set to date.  Talking about being slack.

Thanks to all my followers, for still being there despite of the fact that you don't get any notification of a recent post from me. THANKS HEAPS! And because of that, the first commenter (who is one of my followers) on this post will receive a small gift from me, a simple token to show my appreciation.

Thanks once again and may our good Lord bless us always.

Hugs,

CAS Delicious! (Cupcake Birthday)

Hello everyone! Glad to be posting once again after few weeks.  I just couldn't believe that the card that I'm about to share with you is only my 4th for this month! :( Yikes!! What's happening with me?  I guess my mojo's really out there somewhere and will be staying long before coming back to me. :(  Anyways, I'm just glad I was able to make a card today and this one's for the CAS82 challenge over SCS wherein the theme is "Delicious".  I chose this cupcake image from Hero Arts because whenever I see one, I always go "YUM!".

The image was coloured with Copic markers and the rest of the sentiments were a combo of Imaginisce and Justrite Stampers. I embellished the image with a combination of stickles and finished it off with Chocolate pearls from Kaisercraft. This card is for my DS1's teacher who had her birthday last Sunday.  He only told me about this yesterday so this was kind of a rush.

This is it for now guys, You know, I really could use some motivation and encouragement here to get me back from stamping regularly. :(  But I guess this is just a normal phase that a stamper/crafter experiences (or is it just me?)

Thanks so much for your support and for your visits and to those who have just recently followed my blog -- THANKS VERY MUCH!

Have a blessed Tuesday!

CAS Delicious! (Cupcake Birthday)

Just want to share with you today a card that I made yesterday morning.  I didn't get the chance to post it yesterday so here it is.

Since I'm trying to win  my mojo back, I just made a clean and simple card to start off. The image was from House Mouse Christmas set and the sentiment was from Hero Arts Cupcake set.

Fairly simple, just  a punched border and some pearls to adorn the card.  The image btw, was stamped and heat-embossed with clear ep then coloured with Copic markers. I also did some soft sponging using a dauber and Versacolor Petal Pink ink.

That's all for now.  Will try to make a 2nd post later for the card that I created for SC293 over SCS.

Until then, enjoy your day!

God bless!

Happy Monday blogland!! Finally, I was able to play again with the CAS challenge!  Honestly, I've been struggling to make cards lately and the creative juice just don't cooperatively flow.  In other words, mojo's somewhere out there and somewhat enjoying its holiday (LOL!) but I'm really glad, I was able to make a card today.

The CAS79 challenge theme is "Gardens".  Well, when I think of a garden, the first thing that enters my mind is flower. So, I decided to make a card with a single flower (not that there's only one flower I imagined in a garden, LOL!). This is pretty simple as the only stamping done was for the sentiment and for the flower stem.  The felt flowers were die-cut using Spellbinders Daisy Heads. Sentiment was stamped using the ever-trusted "Stamp a Majig" when it comes to stamp positioning.

Okidoki, that's it for today and hopefully the mojo will start to kick in as I'm back to the stamping seat again. :)

God bless you!

I'M STILL HERE!!

Hello to my fellow bloggers, stampers and blog followers! How are you all doing? I'm just posting to let you know that I'm still here although not that much active with crafting lately. Talking about being slack! :( I dunno, maybe I was just having those days where one's mojo isn't really working or is wandering somewhere else.  Have you ever experienced that?? Tell me I'm not alone, pls?

Anyways, somehow I was able to make a single card (yes, just a single card in my 3wks or so of absence). This was for the FS181 in honour of ravengirl over SCS.  I chose to case her generational card and changed some of it while sticking to the lay out.

Once again I apologize for my absence.  I was about to make a card today but I caught a flu early in the morning so, yeah, I guess I'd better put it off after a day or two.

Thanks so much for the visit and I'll see you in my next post -- SOON!! :)

Have a blessed day!

CAS75 Dry Embossing

Happy Monday everyone! Wow! It's been a week since I've last posted here. How's everbody doing? Hope all is well.  I just want to share with you today the CAS card that I did today for the CAS75 "Dry Embossing" challenge over SCS.

These small Cuttlebug embossing folders have been neglected by me for so long now (but I believe I'm not alone, LOL!). That's why when I saw that the CAS challenge is about dry embossing, I knew that I would use them for this project.  On this card, I used the Fancy Corners embossing folder.  I didn't use all of them though, I just chose one.

I just added Kaiser pearl Copper to embellish the center of the flowers. Clean and simple!

Thanks for the visit and may God bless us all.

Hello blogland!  Hope you're all doing very well at your side of the world.  It's very cold here atm while I'm writing this post so I'll just make this one short and sweet. ;-)

This card is for the ff challenges:

CAS74 (over SCS) - Celebrations!  Denise gave us this SITE to get our inspiration with

COLOR THROWDOWN#99 - my first participation with them and their challenge is to use colours cream, chocolate and turqouise

So, here's my card:

I just made it very simple as it's for a Clean and Simple challenge. The cream panel was embossed with Cuttlebug Divine Swirl embossing folder and matted onto brown Bazzill.  I used my All A-fleur embunched punch (by Fiskars) for the border.  The sentiment was from AmyR stamps (by CC Designs) and was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa then cut with my die leaf from Spellbinders Daisy Heads set and was sponged lightly with Versacolor Lagoon Blue while still inside the die.  The two upper corners of the cream panel was punched with EK Success corner punch and was lined with a cs from DCWV Garden Party stack.  I finished off the card with an Aqua ribbon with a bow made using Bow Easy.

That's all for tonight and I'd like to sleep early tonight because I can feel my migraine's coming. :(

Thanks for visiting and may our good and loving God bless us all for always!
