TWO CARDS

Hello fellow bloggers and stampers! I still feel a bit weak and dizzy but I was able to play along with the sketch challenge for this week over SCS. But yesterday, I had the chance to participate (my first-ever with them) on Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #28 and theme is taken from Colossians 3:17 - "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." This challenge is actually free reign, meaning, there are no set limits and the only and most important condition is to make a card out of worship to God, our Creator. So, I had Jesus on my mind when I made this card, thanking Him for everything that He's done in my life and for giving me such creativity and talent to make cards. Image is from my newly-acquired Circle Ensemble III from Justrite Stampers.

The next card is for SC270 challenge set by Rox. Thanks for the wonderful sketch Rox! I just made my card simple as I still feel a bit dizzy. Thank God I managed to finish this one.

Thanks for the visit and may our good Lord bless you always.

Hugs,

Jhet

TWO CARDS

{CAS56} IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE!

Happy month of March everyone!!! Wow, days really pass by so fast and before we know it, we're already half year through. So let's thank God for every moment that He's blessed us and let's make the most out of those moments.

Well, I was finally able to sit and stamp this afternoon as soon as I saw the CAS56 challenge which is "Hip to be Square!". As you all know me, I'm really into making square cards so it didn't make me think twice to play in this challenge.

I stamped my image from Magnolia Summer Collection with Memento Tuxedo Black then coloured it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. I then matted it onto an Old Olive cs which was cut with Scalloped Square Nesties. I stamped the Darkroom Door sentiment with Old Olive ink then finished the card with an olive-coloured satin ribbon (bought from dollar store) with a button combo (a very first for me!). Oh, I made my bow using Bow Easy and once again, I had to review the youtube tutorial as I've totally forgotten how to make one. LOL!!!

Thanks for visiting! Have a blessed day!!

Hugs,
Jhet

FS158 CASEd Card

Happy Monday fellow bloggers, stampers and crafters!! How are you all doing today? Did you have a blast this Valentine's Day?? :)

Today I want to share with you my first Featured Stamper card for 2010. This week's FS158 challenge is in honour of Laurie a.k.a. Hamiltongal from SCS. Yay! for you Laurie~~her gallery is indeed a source of inspiration and her cards are all gorgeous!!

Ok, on to the card. I chose to case this card and changed the ff:
- colours
- twist the sketch a bit
- used Labels 1 instead of the circle nesties but retained the topmost layer using circle nesties
- stamped my sentiment and made it as my focal image, embossed it with Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls
- used a fifferent dp but from DCWV as well
- changed the position of the pearls
- used a different border punch
- and spritzed a bit of Glimmer Mist on my sentiment for the finishing touch!

Would you believe that I had to review the video tutorial for the Bow Easy before I was able to finally made this bow on my card? LOL!!! Just imagine the effect of a month-long holiday from cardmaking! I guess I have to review my stuffs so I won't get lost again next time. :)

Thanks for looking and I will appreciate any comment/s that you will leave here.

GOD bless us all!

BUTTERFLIES

3 is an ODD number, right? =)

Here's my simple card for this weeks Ways to Use It Challenge set by Julia and the theme is "Odds Are". There has to be something odd in your card; ODD as in not divisible by two not the ODD that is strange or peculiar in meaning, LOL!

In this card I have 3 butterflies, 3 Kaiser pearls (Rose) and 1 butterfly that is fully made up(it's the one in the middle, unfortunately you cannot see its colours clearly in this photo)! Just made it very simple and use some scraps lying around my craft table.

Thanks for looking and TGIF!! =)

MY FIRST CARD FOR 2010!

And it's a card for the CC257 (colour combo challenge) over SCS! The colours for this week are: Choc Chip-Dusty Durango-Sage Shadow.

Hello everyone! Wow! It's been almost 2mos since I stamped and made a card. And I was making this card yesterday, I felt like a first-timer stamper!! I stamped my image thrice before I got it right! LOL!! I don't have the Dusty Durango yet so I had to replace it with Real Rust. Image from Darkroom Door was stamped using Versacolor Topaz (which is close to that of Real Rust) and the sentiment from Stampendous was stamped using Choc Chip. I did some sponging around the image using Versacolor Vanilla. I finished off the card with four tiny Kaiser pearl chocolate at the four corners.

Don't want to do any complicated cards for now as I'm still getting the hang of it. LOL!!

Have a blessed Thursday!

MY FIRST CARD FOR 2010!

HAPPY SUNDAY!! ( and a SWEET STUFF from Jacque)

Hello everyone!! Happy New Year to all of you!! Wow! How are you all doing?? It's been almost 2mos since I last posted here. As you all know, we've been to a month-long holiday in the Philippines and we really had a great time!! I got to see all my siblings, my father, relatives and my closest friends. Thank God for that holiday!! We're now again actually planning for our next, lol!! God-willing, maybe after 2yrs. It depends on God's leading but I believe that when He wills it, it will be all perfect!! I will be posting some of my fave holiday pics here in my later posts.

Anyways, I haven't had the chance to sit on my craft table as I'm still trying to settle things around the house. Especially that my DS2 has started schooling now although his school sched isn't yet regular but once it is, I'm sure I can stamp and share my cards with you once again. Well, a friend of a churchmate is actually asking me to make their wedding invitations so I guess, if it will push through, those cards will be the first ones that I will be making this 2010. :)

Ohh, want some SWEET STUFF by the way??? The talented Jacque is offering some sweet stuffs for us bloggers. Click the link on my sidebar and it will take you directly to her sweet stuff post and for the conditions on how to join. ;-)

Offer ends on Feb22, so what are you waiting for??

Have a blessed Sunday and don't forget to go to church.

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you! My family and I are on a one-month holiday overseas that's why I just want to let you know that there'll be no new card uploads until we get back to Sydney. At the moment, I'm simply savouring my time bonding with my family and friends here in the Philippines as we haven't seen each other for 4 years. :)

I hope you understand and I hope you won't get tired of following my blog. Rest-assured that I will be stamping after our holiday. :)

Thanks so much for visiting and I'll give you updates once in a while.

God bless and Merry Christmas once again.

Hugs,
