Planning, focusing...

Planning and focusing is one thing... but executing it is another whole different ball game. I know the saying, "Failing to plan is planning to fail" but just by planning and not executing is failing too. And another point to note, self-motivation has got to be one of the toughest thing to do! hahaha..... and procrastination seems to be it's best friend. 

I have to stop procrastinating and show myself that I can do it! :)

Enough of my rambling for today :P Here's another Christmas card. I love my little bow :P

Code : Christmas10-2

Boy, do I have to make some other cards and share them here to break the routine :P I am gonna create a tutorial.... hmmm..... crap, Procrastination is asking me out for coffee.... talk to you ladies later, k?

hahahahahahahahahaa....

Challenge... challenge

I guess most of you know that I'm a card-maker at heart.... there are times when I dabble in mini albums and small projects but I seem to shy away from 12x12 scrapbook LO :P

And yes, I'm still a bit shy..... I am definitely making a commitment to make two 12x12 pages by end of October but erm, for now, here's a 6x6.... start small, then we work our way up, k? :D

This LO is based on this "Photo Inspiration Challenge" by Papier. Here's the very lovely photo... how not to be inspired? *winks*

Very lovely kitchen and colours, no? I love it! It looks so clean and fresh... and since I don't create LOs a lot, I had to think quite hard to create mine.. hehe... I wish I'm a tad bit like Jessy, Amy or Savitri. They seem to create LOs effortlessly :)


Anyway, here's my take based on the photo above. This is an 'up-cycled' calendar... you know, those table calendar we throw away each year end? I hoarded saved some and it's proving to be useful! I love that it's already sturdy and makes a nice piece of art, ya? :)


Photo quality is not as good as I want it to be cos I took it at night and lighting is not fantastic. I love taking pictures in the morning or afternoon... the colours are always lovelier! :) The cardstock base is hand-stamped and then coloured to match the tiles on the photo.

I used glossy accent to highlight some of the tiles too and even misted the base and the flowers with gold iridescent spray. It looks a little sparkly :) Oh, and thank you Cindy for the lovely lace ribbon and doily... they help make this project work! :)


Love how it's already made to stand on the table! hehe... yeshhh, I'm lazy so this helps! :)

My first Christmas card

I promised I will be back and here I am :) 

I've started making Christmas cards cos I started really late last year and it was mad... LOL.... didn't manage to get many out to friends overseas as well cos they would probably receive it, eh-hmm, the following year. So, this year, I promise to send the cards out earlier, k? :P

Here's one of the first cards I made... actually, I made this a couple of weeks back. Then thank God, I received a card order (one of my largest orders... thanks Corina!) and had to complete the order before resuming making Christmas cards. I have made 21 cards so far... and still going to make more. All the cards are unique in design, so far, no two are alike. But I think I will have to start making some similar ones, else I won't have the time to make as many as I need :)

Code : Christmas10-1

P/s : Well, all cards will be available for sale. You can get them at CzipLee, Bangsar or order it from me here. All online orders will be posted to their destinations (pos ekspress preferable, shipping to be borne by buyer) or self-collected at a destination & time pre-arranged and agreed by me. Thank you for your understanding.... it does take time to get things coordinated :) Thanks for your support! :)

Hola! :)

Hey peeps.... it's been a long while since I last updated this blog. I'm such a bad blogger, huh? :P So sorry for leaving this space 'empty' and unattended. Not that I have a lot of readers, hehe, but those who actually came may have also left cos there's no updates for too long? 

*please come back...... LOL*

I'm back and will not only be updating pictures of my cards, ramblings about my life but also sharing some tutorials, albums and notebooks! :) Still afraid to venture into scrapbooking those 12x12 LOs so I may start smaller... we'll see how things goes *winks*

Oh, and I absolutely love this rose ring that I found in a quaint little shop. 

pictured with it is my wedding band :)

I saw it the first time I went but I didn't buy it and couldn't stop thinking about it! and when I went back the second time, I was worried that it would have already been sold but it's still there waiting for me! :D 

*happy dance*
