Another Hand Letter Design that I want to share with y'all

This one using lyrics from a song called "LIFE" by Hillsong United from Wonder Album.

I love how the design turned out but I am not entirely happy with the colouring. 

My pen has ran out on me and I have to use black colouring pencil which not the best

option for this one. 

Hope you enjoy this and catch ya later...

DIY for Teachers

Hello...hello...

I'm back again with another DIY. Got the idea from my blog hopping and so in love with the awesome idea/suggestion.

The end of the year for school + Summer Holiday + Christmas Holiday is almost here. I would love to come up/find something that is useful, personalised, adorable and won't cost me too much. I need to prepare 4 for 4 excellent teachers in my kids primary school.

This amazing idea found at the right time for me.

Kids also had fun when they helped me in making this gorgeous pressies.

Btw...I stick ferrero rocher in the middle of the flowers just before we give it away to each teacher.(the rocher is not in the picture)

The pencils are very useful for teachers as they sometimes bought class supplies from their own pocket. It is very personalised and using a recycled can and incorporating papercraft as well! Love it!!

Hope you enjoy and be inspired!

Card for Z's baby dedication

Hi..hi...

Just a quick post to share the card i made for Z's baby dedication.

My friend was having her baby daughter, Z is her nickname,  dedicated and I got her a CD with Christian songs.

I embossed the sentiments with vanilla embossing powder.  My friend love green and vanilla scent so that's why i chose to use those theme
I also created the inside of this card but totally forgot to take the picture of it! (silly me!)

Hope you enjoy it and Til' next time...

Celebrate Today and Everyday

It is right to celebrate every single days and not taking anything for granted.

This card reflects as a reminder for me to enjoy every day and always have a positive outlook on every encounter that I experienced day in and day out. 

Just like i did in my previous card (Celebrate This Life)... love the way the leaves and the butterfly sort of  like come to life / popping out from the white space. I saw somewhere (cant remember) this awesome and clever technique. Just need to showcase it again....

Enjoy my card and see you next time...

Big Hugs,

Celebrate This LIfe

Learning to dance in the Rain

Happy Weekend, everyone!

I've been busy since early morning. First up was my Son's soccer game and their team won 3-2. He scored 1 goal by the way...(Well done, Son!). After that came home for half hour and off i went to a luncheon organized by my Connect Group Leader. Husband and son went to my hubby soccer practice. Went home to have shower and off we went to a friend's house for dinner. What a full day....

Anyway...i whipped a card last night to join in Card Patterns sketch 164 challenge but unfortunately i was late in submission. Should have upload it last night but too tired after a night out and totally forgot. So..my card is using their sketch no 164.

And....got 2 full weeks to go??? Aarrrgghhh....!!

Today i got to create 1 card. It is good to have lil' creative time to keep my sanity.(LOL!)

Hi there beautiful people....

I Just want to share a card for September CCC Challenge over at Lily Pad Cards. This card is following the sketch for the September CCC Challenge sketch here:

This CCC challenge is a card exchange with a twist challenge. Not only that you created a card following the colour/sketch/themes provided but you'll also be sending your creation to whoever person that entered the challenge right before you and so on. 

It is fun, inspiring and you can meet and exchange creation with different people from around the world with one common trait ...a love/passion for papercrafting/cardmaking.

Anyway...Everyone is special in their own way and that is what inspired my card here. To send a message that you're special, friend.

Here is my take on the sketch and hope whoever will receive this card will like it!
