Pink, White and Black

You know.... I really should be in bed but I couldn't resist completing at least one challenge before I say goodnight to the world :) I had spent the whole day making bookmarks and didn't have the time to make some cards... so, of course I'm itching to at least attempt one! :P

Today's challenge over at 365Cards is based on a movie : Pretty in Pink. It's a Movie Monday challenge. Well, to be honest, I have not heard of this movie before but the colours on the poster inspired me :)
Here's my take on this challenge :)

God Loves You!

Finally completed ALL the bookmarks that my aunt requested. Took me a whole day to do it.. hmmm :) Maybe next time, I shouldn't be so ambitious and wanna make 3D pop-up for ALL the 22 bookmarks :P

The cutting is what takes time... that and the concept-generating part. I suck at making boy-themed cards/bookmarks. Girlie ones are SOOooooOo much easier to make! :)

Anyway, here's my bookmarks. Hope you like it too!

Another Super Sketchy Sunday

It's Sunday again... and when it's Sunday, there's Super Sketchy Sunday over at 365Cards! Here's another fabulous sketch... I've been slacking again on making cards and having some sketches to base the design on definitely helps!

Here's my card. See, I'm still smitten by the pre-embossed cardstock :D I'm loving that it gives the card some character eventhough the base is white.

I haven't stamped any sentiment on it yet cos I'm not sure what I want on it yet. Maybe it'll be 'Best wishes' or 'Happy Birthday'.

Tomorrow's a Public Holiday for me :) I can't wait to craft more! oh, and probably catch up on reading too.....

Bookmarks for kids!

I bought some Dotted Swiss Bazill papers after falling in love with it! And now, I think you might see quite a lot of cards with this background for a while... :P I will *try* to remember to use normal cardstock but no promises!

Anyway, my aunt asked me to help make some bookmarks for her. It's for some 7 year old kids that she teaches.

It's easier to make girly bookmarks but boyish ones? aiks... I think I might have problems with that.... cos I don't have any stamps with cars or trains or boyish stuff... I think I know what to buy in the near future to add to my massively growing stash! :)

Thankfully, DH never really asks how much I spent on all these art supplies. That and also the fact that he really supports the things that I do :)


So here's 2 designs so far. I will have to make another one design at least... something more boyish... oh, and my aunt wants me to add the words 'God loves you'. Hmmm... I'm thinking to either stamp them on or print them out and paste them on the bookmark... what do you think?

Craft shopping is dangerous business

Really.... it really is! :P

Okay, here's what happened. My EK Success 1/4 inch corner rounder decided to 'die' on me today. It's plastic on top and metal on the bottom, right? (If you use this, you would know :) ) The plastic holding the top portion and the metal bottom portion broke. sigh. Yes, it snapped. Looks as if the thing has been used for the longest time but I only bought it 3 months ago.

Seriously. I'm not joking. I've only been using it for the last 3 months.

So imagine my agony when I wanted to round some paper with it this morning and the thing snapped. sobs. I then decided I'm going to invest in a Chomper Crop-A-Dile in the future... but that's not the story.

I called up one LSS. They don't carry this brand anymore. And they're not sure if the Carla Craft's corner rounder they have is 1/4 inch... And since DH wanted to go shopping, we dropped by another LSS. I bought mine there, so I figured they should have another.... Oh, we don't have the Chomper here in M'sia yet so I have to order and I need to use the corner rounder quite desperately... hence, the searching.

I went into the LSS, searched high and low... asked for assistance and they are sold out on it. The last one they have is reserved for another customer. sobs. And when one goes into a craft shop, one will MOST certainly browse around... right? Which I did.... and ended up with a bag of stuff when I left the shop. Without the item I initially intended to buy... aiks.

I fell in love with Bazill's new swiss dots paper. It's pre-embossed with dots!

That's why I said craft shopping is dangerous business..... dangerous to my wallet!! :P

And what does an ingenious girl do when she desperately needs to use the 1/4 inch corner rounder but can't get her hands on a new one?

This is what I did ------->

It worked!! :P

Well, at least I'll have something to use until the chomper arrives..... if my LSS brings that in >.<
