JOY TO THE WORLD! (SC191 TAKE TWO!)

hello! I made another card this morning for the SC191 card scketch challenge. I used my Carolers stamps (by Clearly Wordsworth) for the first time and the recently purchase double-sided Christmas paper. I paper-pieced the "carolers" but my, I was really challenged with the cutting and piecing 'coz as you can see, they're very small! I made this card a couple of hours before lunch. :)

I'll be making more cards today so watch out for my blog for updates. It's been raining here in Sydney for 2 days now and hubby's here so I got more time to do some crafts and stuffs! (in between snuggling and hot chocolate! wow!) :)

Thanks for looking! God bless everyone.

PAPER PIECING

Hello fellow bloggers and readers! I hope you're doing all very upon reading this post. I was able to finish 2 cards tonight. I actually finished them more than half an hour ago but I decided to post them and share them with you now (eventhough it's already late) 'coz I'm soooooooo excited about this. This is the very first card where I used "paper piecing" technique..and YAY! I did it! And I'm so proud of what I've done. :) I thank God for giving me the ability to do this technique.

I made this card for a friend who will celebrate his birthday tomorrow, (rather today! LOL!), it's already Aug 8. He loves playing golf but I don't have any golf stamps for that matter. So, I just searched over the net and found this cute golf player HERE. My colours and markers are very limited so I decided to paper piece his clothes and just coloured the rest of his image....

Here he is....

What do you think? Isn't he an adorable golfer? Tee hee! I'll just post the recipe for this card later today ' coz I wanna share the other card with you as well. But of course, before I forget, I also wanna thank my darling husband for giving me his endless support and input from my choice of papers to the colours to be used. I love you Mahal! (Mahal is a Filipino/Tagalog word for LOVE) :)

Anyway, here's the other card....

This one is for the birthday of my friend's daughter, Chloe. She'll be 4 this 13 August and found this cute image that would suit her personality (cute and bubbly). Found this one on this site. Again, I'll just share the recipe tomorrow as my feet are already dragging me to our bed.

May God bless all of you and remember: What is impossible to man, is possible with God.

To God be all the glory and praises!

Hugs to all!!
