Short-talk

Will be *trying* to sleep earlier tonight. Another busy, crafting day tomorrow!

I think I will not accept anymore orders for the month! :) Time to relax and complete challenges and sketches!! :) You can buy all the ready made ones. They are pretty too! :P

How to justify spending.... :P

Been trying to spend less recently because I wanted to make a big purchase at the craft shop I frequent. You'll never believe how much I had spent there... sigh. Well, at least I didn't 'invest' those money in things like cigarettes or booze, right? Those are a waste of resources, but hobbies like crafting, photography, reading are all good :P

haha....

Well, at least crafting, photography and reading won't kill you in the long run :D Provided I still find time to exercise. I've been so lazy recently. No more jogging. Just more card-making... aiks...

Anyhow, I just completed a card that I hope fulfills 2 challenges! :)

Day 109 on 365 Cards say to use these colours : green, yellow, orange,
brown, and aqua ... and make it a feminine card!

Over at Paper Popsicles, they provided a sketch for Card Challenge #3.

I just wanted to try to fuse them together and see if I can do it under
an hour.

And I guess I did :)

(I'm a slow card-maker.....)


Here's my card :

If you have it, USE IT :)

Found a new blog that has challenges as well! I found it through Michelle's blog (she's a terrific crafter!). Their challenges are unique as it requires you to use the items they list. That's it! No sketches. Just follow their 'recipe' :)

It's my first time there but I'm loving all the cards I see. They are all so pretty! Boy, there are so many talented crafters out there!

I'm combining the recipe on Use It (must have pink, scallop and add a tag!)

Then over at 365 Cards, they wanted a card with the word, 'Girl'. Oh, and to make the card very girly.

I hope my card fulfills both the requirements :)

Have fun!

Custom Orders... interesting challenge

My friend called me up and requested some specific cards sometime last week. He has so many requests about one of the cards, I was so worried I can't fulfill them!

What he wanted was based on what I have done before but with A LOT of modifications :P

Well, I would have wanted to improve on the designs anyway and so I did, with the 'Wishing you rainbows' card. I totally changed the cardstock used and the patterned paper. He wanted a rainbow and a sun instead of 2 rainbows, so here it is! I'm lovin' this. Oh, I made it bigger than the original design this card was based on as well, cos he said he has a lot of things to write.

Made this late into the night yesterday.

And then there's another card he wanted me to make that requires me to look high and low for a picture of a dragon and that of a tiger! He's born in the year of the Dragon and the girl he likes, year of the Tiger (if I didn't get it wrong :P )

In the end, what I did was hand-draw the images, as I couldn't find any to print out. I did look at samples online to draw this (I'm not a genious) and then coloured them in.


After he told me the images he wanted, he called me again (last week) to say he wanted to include a pocket/envelope inside the card as he has a gift he wanted to give to the girl.....

One thing I can say is, he really challenges me to make something I have not attempted to... yet.

So, I included an envelope inside the card.....


And of course, he wants to tell the girl that he loves her (and admits it too) :)

{Father's Day Card_2} Order Status : Complete

I'm lovin' this card :) It's so cute, it makes me smile while piecing it together.

If you think it looks familiar, that's because it's part of my Father's Day Collection cards. But like I've mentioned before, I try not to make 2 identical cards even if they are based on the same design.

This card is made for my colleague and she requested for 3 small giraffes inside the card to represent her 3 children. That was her suggestion and for my part, I changed some of the cardstock to make this card yet another unique one! Coloured some 'grassy hills' for the giraffe to 'stand' on too :)


I'm pretty pleased with it. I do hope she will be as well tomorrow! :)
