WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Happy Saturday everyone! Now I can finally upload the card that I made for our church pastor's 43rd wedding anniversary last Monday.

The card's lay-out was based on SC351. Great sketch and I'll probably use this for a couple of times on my future cards. The background panel was embossed using Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder. I actually inked one side of the folder before running it through my Cuttlebug machine to give the background a very light "teal" colour. I then matted it onto a teal cs, stamped the sentiment and cut with Spellbinders double-ended tags die and sponged around it with the same ink I used with the embossing folder.  I then used a teal satin ribbon that I bought from Alice in Paperland when I visited their shop few weeks ago and finished off with 3 Kaiser pearls on the bottom right. Oh, I actually sprayed Glimmer Mist Pearl on the embossed panels but the camera didn't capture its sparkle. It looks good IRL. :)

Thanks so much for looking and for always visiting my blog.

Until next post. God bless everyone!

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

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,

CARDS :)

Hi everyone!  Just want to share with you some cards that I have done last week. Why am  I only  posting this now, you may ask?  Well, it's because these cards were orders from me and I didn't want to post it not until the person get hold of them. And now, it's safe to share it, I guess. LOL!

Here are the cards:

BABY BOY BAPTISM

ANNIVERSARY

30TH BIRTHDAY

The lady who ordered these wanted a very personalized card hence, the appearance of the names of the recipients.  Good thing my Justrite Stampers Small Letter Set arrived just when I was about to finish everything.

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think of these by leaving a comment or two.

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!

A Simple Anniversary Card

Hello everyone! It's Holy Wednesday today. A calm and quiet day in my place atm. :) Hope everything's doing well with you. I just want to share with you a card that I made last Sunday. I didn't get much time to create cards, let alone upload them on my blog. :( Well, just a couple more days to go and it's school holidays so I will have more time to create by then.

This card is an anniversary card which I made for a couple from our church. The guy happens to be my DS1's godfather. I just made this one quick and simple as you can see. I started with Groovy Guava base, then put a Wild Wasabi cs over it. I stamped my Cupid's Arrows (by Kaiserstamp) onto Whisper White cs (using Groovy Guava ink) and heat-embossed it using clear embossing powder. I then cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 1 and matted it onto another Labels 1 die cut of Groovy Guava. I finished it off by stamping the sentiment onto the bottom right of the card and put a ribbon around the Wild Wasabi panel.

A very quick way to whip a card. ;) Well, it seems Wild Wasabi and Groovy Guava go well together, don't you think so?

I'll see you on my next post. Don't forget to visit my blogoversary candy and join!

Have a blessed day everyone!

A Simple Anniversary Card

I'M BACK!!

Hello everyone! Me and my family just got back from our Church Family Camp and we feel so refreshed and rejuvenated! It was full of fun and at the same time full of God's words and the main theme for the camp is about "Prayer". One Pastor taught about the "formula" to have the anointing to flow through you and it is - Faith + (Prayer and Fasting) = Annointing! The message was very powerful and and I also learned that we must pray without ceasing (meaning everyday, 24/7) and we must not be shy or timid before God when we pray. Instead we must be loud and bold to tell Him our prayer requests. Anyway, even if we keep silent, God knows what's in our heart and mind -- so better yet, speak it up. Amen?! It was a very nice experience for me especially that my birthday will be tomorrow (and the day after will be my wedding anniversary), it's a very, very nice preparation for the added year in my life and I really thank God for it.

So..I'm back to our regular program. Actually, 2 days before we left for the family camp, I whipped up an anniversary card for my husband. I made it ahead of time knowing that I will not have the slightest chance to make him a card once we're back from the camp. And besides, he will have his off on my birthday and the day after so, yeah, the chance is too slim for me. LOL!

I don't have a stamped image of a couple and so I searched for some images on the internet and ended up with this:

I patterned the sketch with SC193 over at SCS. I coloured the image basically with my Copic markers. The sentiment was also computer-generated. Now, the only thing I have to do is to write the message inside without him seeing me. ;)

Oh, btw, I won a stamp over Camilla's blog. Yipee!!! What a nice surprise after the camp!!

Thanks for always visiting my blog and for the lovely comments you leave.

I'M BACK!!

Wedding Anniversary Card

Hello blog readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Saturday!! Hope everything's doing well with you and the rest of your families. We're all doing fine also by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I've been busy doing the laundry since this morning but I was able to make a card for our Pastor and his wife for their 40th wedding anniversary. Wow! 40yrs! They're so blessed!

I was forced to finish this card as they will be leaving for New Zealand as their 2 children's gift for them and they will be away for more than 2 wks. I'll still be making a gift for them and I'm still thinking what to make. ;-) Here's the card:

This is just a very simple card as you can see. Ruby red is associated with 40th wedding anniversary (as per my research) and since I don't have a ruby red, I chose something closer to that colour. Actually I have a ruby red from SU! earth colour family but the red is a bit pale. So, I used this Kisses red by Bazzill and embossed my Whisper White using my Cuttlebug Textile folder. I stamped the sentiment first before running it to my Cuttlebug and used my Olivia Alphas to die cut the numbers. Of course, I also used my Nestabilities (Petite Scallop circle) and put an organza ribbon on top of the red grosgrain so that the red ribbon will not look that bright.

Wish I could tell you more about what happened to me today but I still need to do some things. And besides, the ladies from our church decided to have dinner tonight so I will be out dining with the girls. Hubby will be the one to look after the kids (he's so sweet really)...after all, this is the very first time that I will go out since I got here in Australia almost 3 yrs ago. Can you believe that? ;-) I don't know, maybe it's just really normal that when you already have your own family and kids, you choose to go out with them rather than with anyone else. Maybe I just say this 'coz my closest friends are all in the Philippines. (ohh, I really miss them "sigh")

Will keep you posted when I come back. God bless us all!
