On a Sunday

p/s : THANK YOU dearies for the birthday wishes!!! Am so blessed to have you girls in my life! :) I love how cardmaking has brought us to know each other and I truly love each & everyone of you!

Made this last night but I didn't have time to take a picture of it. Haven't got a lot of time to do what I love, which is blogging, crafting & blurfing (blog-surfing... lol... a term I picked up from dear ~Amy~).

I hope my entry for 2S4Y's Sketch 60 isn't too late.... :P Well, I think it's technically still Sunday over in the States, so I should be fine :)

Hope you like the card... I thought it's just very sweet :) The hedgehog blowing heart bubbles and all :)

If you had a couple of million....what would you do?

This card will go to a friend who loves cats :)

Hoping that she'll like it.

Ok... now, just a dream/fantasy... if you had/won a couple of million dollars, what would you do with it? And how are you going to spend your life?

Sometimes I like to think of impossible questions like these. Well, winning it is kind of impossible since I don't buy the lottery. Earning it, well, I would need a solid business plan then (which I don't have...) but if I really do have a couple of million moolahs to dish out, I would give 10% to my church, 15% to my parents, invest some.... buy lotsa craft supplies, go for photography classes & I'm definitely 'retiring' (cos I'll have some in FD to feed me). I would spend my 'free' time volunteering at old folks or children's home. Maybe I can work for World Vision :D I never believe that one can be bored if they stop working because there's just so many things in the world that we can do. How can we be bored? 

Maybe one day, I will go to Myanmar to visit the child I sponsored. I won't need a couple of million to do that :) And I guess it's time to sponsor another child :P My personal goal was to sponsor a child a year but I didn't manage to do that last year. Maybe a child in 2/3 years? Seems reasonable, right? Wow... I'm going to have so many 'kids' around the world in the future... LOL

Gong Xi Fa Cai! :)

It's Chinese New Year/ Valentine's Day!!! Ushering in the Year of the Tiger *roarrrrrr*

Gong Xi Gong Xi!!

It's the Year of the Tiger following the 12 zodiac signs on the Lunar Calendar. It's quite interesting how the animals raced to cross the finish line in a race held by the Jade Emperor. And the rat, although was good friends with the cat, misinformed the cat about the day of the race causing the cat to miss the race & did not get a spot on the zodiac calendar hence swearing enmity with the rat for all eternity :)

You can read more about it here.

Hope you like the legend.... and my card too :)

Kitty Love

Code : AAL0026

I need to make more puppy cards ya? I think I have a few kitty ones up but only 1 with the puppy :)

I was chatting with my colleague the other day and told her about scheduled posting and how it made blogging 'easier' sometimes :) At least I can blog in the middle of the night and set it to post much later... or write a few blogs when I've got a little more time on my hands and then have them post as and when I want them to?

She said she's going to try it out ... I hope it helps her too :)

Hugs & Kisses

I think my friends like the puppy card more than they like the kitty ones... LOL.... I think I'm gonna make more of that then :) Have some more, flowery doodads cards waiting to be posted... in the coming days...

Don't you think this kitty is cute? I think it is... I even glossed up the heart and rose on the card :)

A friend of mine is rushing me to post up all the pictures of the Valentine Cards I made... :P I was thinking of posting one a day and well, I guess I'll never have ALL the pictures to post up cos I will still be making more even after I posted up all that I've made now.... cos, there's no such thing as a 'collection', I guess... well, not for me? :P

So, what I *can* do is to post a card a day... I think I'll run out of cards to post by next week :P Then I'll have to make more... which is good :)

Here's sending you a hug with a fold in the middle :)

Quirky

Love you forever

Another Valentine Card.... you know, I actually have quite a few made but I did not have the time to post it all up yet... The card-making is one part, the photo-taking, editing and blogging is another part of this :) Not that I don't like the process.. I love it. I just wish I have more time for all of this, that's all...

Going to hit the sack now... it's way past midnight over here already (what's new..haha)

Happy Holidays

This is a variation from one of the cards I made earlier with the same set of stamps... but again, I'm using non-traditional Christmas colours. But they still look pretty, don't they? :)

I drew the 'string' myself since I wanted it in varying lengths.

I'm taking a short breather from my PB stamps and using my PTI stamps again.... Hope to create a few more with my PTI stamps before returning to PB. *ssshhhhhh* but I'm seriously neglecting my other stamps.. LOL....

The ornaments actually sparkle and so does the leaves... Wonder if you can see that.... it's quite cool :)

Quirky

Caroling, anyone?

Isn't this hedgehog CUTE? I seriously fell really hard for PB stamps! I LOVE them and how can I not, right? :) Well, I didn't fall for all PB stamps, just the mice and hedgehog ones.... they are so stinkin' cute, I almost never bear to leave the LSS without them (when they are in stock!).

I love the stripey paper at the back too.... It does add some Christmas feel to it, doesn't it? :) Can't remember where the paper is from... could be from MME but I'm not sure. I have too many patterned papers lying around and I really shouldn't buy anymore but, sigh, I just walked out from another LSS few nights ago with a MM paper pad (when I told myself I have too many PPs in the room) *gulp*

Anyway, here's leaving you with a close-up of my card :)

Sleigh-pulling-Hedgehog

* This is supposed to be my scheduled post but I don't know what I did but it keeps getting published so, oh well... 2 posts in a day.... hope this doesn't bore you :P

Loving my Penny Black Christmas stamps :D You'll be seeing a couple more of them in the coming few days... :) And then, I hope to get back to using some of my PTI stamps before they feel neglected. Hope you like this sleigh-pulling-hedgehog as much as I do :)

I do hope to sell some Christmas cards this year... this will be the first time I'm selling Christmas cards :) Let's wish me luck! :)

Code : HH0017

I love the cute hedgehogs! It's so tempting to buy lots of PB stamps!

Chandelier....

I love scheduled posts! Don't you? :)

I get really swamped during the weekdays and nights that I sometimes don't have the time to make cards, photograph them, edit them and blog about them. I would love to do that every night but well, we all have things to do that we just have to do, right? :)

I made this card using a combination of stamps from Inkadinkado, PTI and Hero Arts :) I also sprayed Glimmer mist on it to give it more ooomph. I think the blings helped too.

Gosh, it's December already! Time does flies. I still remember the start of 2009 and now it's already coming to a close and 2010 is right at the door. Man, sometimes I really wish that time can move slower....

A card I had 'problems' with ....

Whenever someone requests for a 'masculine-themed' card, I would spend the longest time ever thinking of how to make one.... besides colours, what else can I do to make a card more 'masculine'?

Sweet-looking, vintage, cute.... those are 'easier' to make.... but masculine? Hmmmmm...... I need to take a class on how to make masculine-looking cards :P

Here's a card I made that is supposed to be masculine... lol... do you think it 'exudes' masculinity? :P

Wishing you Showers of Books!!

My friend wanted a card for her sister who loves books :) The sentiment initially says 'Wishing you Showers of Blessings' but I left out the word 'blessings' and hand-wrote the word 'books' instead :) My friend said her sister would love that so, I went with her request :)

I made this card to take part in Dawn's Colour Challenge :) What do you think? :)

Time.... I need time :)

I understand perfectly when another cardmaker says that sometimes, making the card is 'easy'.... it's the photographing, editing and then blogging and posting it that takes the bulk of the time... :) I agree.

Sometimes, time is really not in our favour and we might not have the luxury of time to do all the things we want to do :) But I am also glad that sometimes, it is in times when we seem to lack time that we 'find' the time to complete things we set out to do.... Am I confusing anyone yet?

I don't know.... I just feel that way sometimes :)

Anyway, I made some cards as a request from my friends and I have edited them and am going to blog and put them to post at scheduled times :P Love the scheduled post option! :)

Here's a card a friend requested for her friend who loves cycling :)

Friends to the end

This is another card I made for M's 3rd Sketch Challenge :) Savitri said that I may have jeopardize my changes to get my last card picked cos I showed my kitty's picture in the same post as the card and M was oogling at that more than my card so, I had to do something, right? LOL

Well, actually I was hoping to use this owl stamp for the longest time but I kept having no idea on what to do with it.... and looking at 365 Cards' Day 250 challenge, I decided to combine M's sketch and 365 Cards' Challenge. How am I doing it? eh-hmmmm, by being a little rebel :P

M, don't worry, I didn't rebel on your sketch... :P

I'm rebelling on 365 Cards' challenge... hehe.... the challenge is to create a card inspired by Mondrian's art. I googled Mondrian and wow, his art is simple yet interesting :) So, I didn't use his 'sketches' but instead used his colours on my card :)

See the red, yellow and blue? That's Mondrian-inspired :) Rebelling? Erm, not too much I hope... Gloria should still be the resident rebel, I wouldn't dare take that 'glory' away from her... LOL

Wishing you Showers of Books!!

This is for another friend whose sister love books! Part of the sentiment is from PTI's Scattered Showers set.... I left out the word 'blessings' and replaced it with handwritten 'books' cos my friend said her sister would love that! :) The owl is from Sassafrass Lass.... I love combining stamps from different sets. They make things more special, don't you think?

I added some Stickles on the polka dots too and glossy accents as well. Just for added dimensions. I love LOVE love dimensions :)

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all those who celebrates! :)

Happy 1st Birthday

A friend emailed me last night to request for a birthday card for a one year old baby girl :) He wanted it quite urgently too. Said he needed to pick it up from me tonight or tomorrow morning.

Well, since I don't have any orders to complete last night, I agreed to it and made this! :)

So glad I bought those alpha stickers. I think I will go back there and buy a few more... :P

What do you think? Like the card too? I've been tired so I have not been posting and blogging much. Hope things resume soon. Life's like that, isn't it? Ups and downs... Wish there's more weekends in a month! LOL...

M's Sketch Challenge #1

You know, I've always enjoyed reading and drawing inspiration from Savitri's blog (among others) and I have always loved looking at the pictures of her adorable girls :) She has the cutest girls!!

And I just read today on her blog that her daughter, M, is putting up her very first challenge! :) Wow.... those creative genes sure flow in her veins!

"M, I love your sketch and your example and would love to take part on your challenge too :) "

Here's mine :

Modified with spiders and all :P

Remember last week when I made a halloween-themed birthday card? My friend said it's not scary enough :P She wanted a scarier one for her friend.....

Now, I'm not really good at that department.... I don't watch scary movies cos I scare easily and I think it's a waste of money to scare myself... so, my take is more on the cute-scary.

Here it is, modified from the previous card... :)

Super Sketchy Sunday - Day 225

Another Sunday just slipped by.....

No matter how much I love the weekend, it just manages to escape through my fingers fleetingly. I want weekends to last longer.... If only God had rested another day after creating the earth .... :P

I managed to find some time to create some cards and here's the one I made based on 365Cards Super Sketchy Sunday : Day 225 :)

This is one sketch I'm having huge trouble with..... it's hard!! :)
