On a Roll…

2 09 2009

These couple of weeks have been extra fulfilling as I create continually. I’m happy that time is now on my side for me to play and create. So here are some cards made:

Congratulations Card Small

The blue background was given an extra pop of colour using Tattered Angel’s glimmer mist after the edges were inked, as was the pink cardstock, which was masked over to add the floral pattern to it. It was fun just spraying non-stop, though by the end of it, it seemed as if there’s blood on my hands, especially since I was using candy apple red!

The next card was done to test out the thank you stamp which I had for a couple of months but never had the chance to break into.

Thank You Small

You will notice the same blue paper and pink cardstock – an opportunity to use up pieces of papers, before they are forgotten. This time though, the blue was inked, without the mist, and surely, the effect is different – less bling. More pics of what I’ve been creating to come in the next couple of days!





Spring into Action!

1 09 2009

Hello September! We’re absolutely thrilled that today marks the start of spring in Australia! We’ve survived through our very first winter and now, we’re ready to experience another season, here downunder. As it is, we have been seeing signs of spring everywhere, with flowers blooming and trees covered in delicious pinks and white baby blooms. As it is in Canberra, we were told that right before spring arrives, we’ll get a serious bout of winds and cold before we can finally proclaim that a new season has arrived. So for the last five days, the wind has been crazily strong! Just the other night, the lights in the house flickered, and we experienced a temporal blackout as the cables were blown about ferociously.

September brings with it numerous adventures, of which one will be the opportunity to teach a couple of classes as a LSS. Here’s a peeky into a cards class that will be taught:

I’m thankful for this opportunity to share my ideas with others and thrilled to bits to have found new friends through this craft which I absolutely adore! Happy Spring time everyone! Hello Mr Sunshine!





Pop Up!

30 07 2009

Do you love pop up books? I do! One of the best treats in Australia is the beautiful books around for kids… While at the local mall the other day, right in the bargain bin, I stumbled upon this lovely pop up book about bugs, which captured my imagination. The Beloved must have been wondering what in the world has happened to me, hanging out in the children’s section forever! Because of my renewed fascination with pop ups, this was what I did with the kit sold at a LSS. The before and after:

And this card, which took me an entire day, but the result was all worth it…

And when opened…

It was good to see The Beloved awed by how I had spent my time at home when he returned… More of such cards to come!

Also, if you have noticed in my sidebar, there’s a new badge there, one which I really like for all it’s beautiful colors…Candy Shoppe Designs! How cute is that name? Can’t wait for them to be launched come 1 September! Do check out here! They’re doing a giveaway!
