Missing You

I will be traveling to see my best friend this October, which makes me miss her even more lately. We’re so excited that we message each other countdowns and making itinerary for when I visit her. So I am making this card to give her and express just how much I miss her. I am sure she’ll love the colors on this card too, it’s sooo adorable.

You Make Me Happy!

Well yeah, the person that’ll be receiving this is.. But making this card was a bit… Hmmm.. challenging. Believe me, the designing on PS and printing takes less than 15 minutes, but assembling it? 3 hours I tell ya! I keep moving things around and adding more and more embellishments until I was happy about it.  But anyway, it turned out great and I love the bright colors here.

Have Your Cake And Eat It Too!

Hello everyone, I’m bringing you an easel card today. I didn’t take detail picture of the card, but both the inside and outside is pretty! :D This color combo has always captured my eyes. Whenever there’s a digi kit with this combo, I almost always get them. Love it!

Hello Gorjuss!

Oh yes, I have been crazy about these gorgeous (pun intended :D) girls lately! I have bought a few sets of Gorjuss Girl stamps and loved it so much. Here’s a card I made using one of their older sets (from Sugar Nellie). The photo didn’t capture how sparkling this card is.. I swear that hello sentiment I embossed is soooo purrrddy!

Last Glimpse of Summer

Seems that for people in the western hemisphere summer is nearly over. We have year-round tropical weather here so I can actually make summery cards whenever I want, but I am soooo ready to make winter and holiday cards! I love making them. So here’s a little glimpse of summer in a card I made recently. Enjoy!

My Guy Ian

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Eid Ul-Fitr is really near now and I’m kinda panicking because some of the stuff mailed to me from shops overseas and locally hasn’t arrived yet. This year, even the private courier services are experiencing shipping overload. We have about a week of holiday starting this Friday and I want to make sure I can use up that time to craft. I’m praying my stuff will be here by today or tomorrow at the latest.

Anyway, on to my card… I rarely create boy cards. So today I am showing you one of a few boy cards I made recently.

Sick!

Yes, the whole house is sick… I think it’s getting around plus everyone’s so busy with work so that their immune system is kinda also down as well. But anyways… I’m here to pop a quick post. Have you seen Some Odd Girl blog? They’ve come up with a new sketch challenge! Go on over and join!

Here’s my card:

SOG-augss

I can’t believe no digis were involved in this one! Haha. The papers are from My Mind’s Eye 6x6 paper pad collection called Howdy Doody. The image of course is Cupcake Mae from Some Odd Girl. Sentiment is from Hero Arts and that wonderful circle die cut is Picot Edge Circles from Spellbinders. Colored her in using Copic markers.
