I hung out @ Smidapaper with the girls...

... Cindy & Josie

Both working very hard to make the store PWEEETYYY!!

How Adorable.

{Dreams & Passion fulfilled}

The nut who spent her holiday afternoon with them.

Shopping almost 3 hours in the store. Its addictive.

She puts a smile on my face, but then again,I could just be vain! LOL!

I forgot my pom-poms. Its her first day!

Evening Tea.

Buttered Mushrooms. Delicious.

Card Maker Celebrity who loves Illy coffee.

(Did you know: Her card is published on the cover of Cards Magazine Jan'2011??)

Absolutely brilliant & definitely a joy to be with.

Stress-free Josie with a new beginning.

French fries with curry sauce.

Super relaxing day for me, just doing nothing & hanging out with great people.

Toodles!

New Year, New Goodies

Gorgeous Candy colors ( inspired by Cindy) ....all from Smidapaper. I love their new warm and cozy store. Remember to visit them if you're in Penang!

That MME paper is simply to die for (glitter blitter to the max) and new collection from Pink Paislee.......and that super cute butterfly stamp from Shabby Green Door. Love, Love!

Tim Holtz Scissors (Husband's prezzie to me) , Love,love,love!

It cuts like butter and less tension on the fingers, I would say much better than 'cutter bee'...but then again, it all depends on your preference.

Trying something new, to paint and alter things.

Absolutely loving the sparkle mod podge, what a super cool product. All you bling chicks, dont miss this one out.

Blessed 2011 Crafty Friends!!

Some crafty updates.

I had the night to myself as aaron went for his meeting. Heres what I did...

1. I kept the dry clothes

2. Folded like 2 weeks worth of clothes while watching ANTM cycle 14, some UK dance show & Guiliana& Bill

3. Did another load of laundry

4. Hung the wet clothes

5. Went in to my craft room to prepare for my december daily mini album. Yeay! I finally started.

Then aaron came back from meeting and bought me this, he's a sweetheart.

Red Velvet Cake (love the cream cheese)

Thanks to Cindy, this is day 1. (She gave me some christmas papers. Sweet!)

I wanted this to be day 24, I absolutely adore Christmas Eve...perfect card!

Super messy table, trying to kickstart this project.

December Daily 2010 by Ali Edwards, Who's with me for this project?

I'm in a bit of a poloroid craze, so I asked Aaron if I could have it for christmas, he told me to consider a printer. *Sigh* I'll pray harder, who knows it'll be under the tree. LOL!

Have a great day crafty friends.

xoxo!

Masculine Card Challenge by Smidapaper

Greetings to all on a lovely Tuesday.

Smidapaper is hosting a challenge on Pink Masculine Card. Yea I know....."PINK???"" But I decided to take up this challenge. I had quite a tough time figuring out the papers but when I received my Studio Calico kit, i was drawn to this pink woodgrain (My Mind's Eye), it was somewhat masculine.

So no laces, pearls and doilies, just a simple card with some office supplies. (=

"Pssssssttttt, winner of this challenge gets RM50 voucher in the new store". How exciting!!!

Lovely Card from my dearest husband

Dearest crafty friends, thank you for the lovely birthday wishes and comments....you truly made my day. (=

I had a fabulous birthday, and look what my husband made?

Awww......such a sweet card. After seeing this card, i so wanna make a card with balloons. Shall we make one? The mess on my table tells me he had a lot of fun making it. Aaron told me he sat on my desk 15 mins just planning and choosing the papers. I'm glad he used kraft, my fav of the lot.

He is just the sweetest guy. I'm so so blessed to have him.

I love you dear Aaron.

Thank you for the lovely day, you make me feel so special. xoxo!

Masculine Birthday Card

....for my uncle.

Tough challenge to create something masculine....or so it was to me.

I'm a girlie girl when it comes to crafting....pinks, laces, buttons, frills, I drool on them. Oh well, in my opinion, crafting in its essence has feminine qualities....hahhaa. The rise of the chromosomes!!!! LOL!

Here's a card for a special man who celebrated on 10-10-10.

xoxo,

Good Morning Crafty friends. How was your weekend?

Mine was just busy busy, almost reaching the year end mark. but but...I manage to make this for my cousin while cleaning my craft space on saturday.

Wanted to try some layering, boy must I admit its super fun to layer. Kinda like how the lace layering turned out....(=

A bit too late for Case Study challenge #7

I forgot to bring my camera to work 2 days in a row, and so too late to submit in.

I fell in love with this card, it was so beautifully made...

My version of the challenge:

(not particularly my style of color combo, but since I had the paper, why not try.)

Lovely paper given by Jessy (thanks babe!)

Have a great day crafty friends!!

xoxo,

Wedding Card no.3

September has been a crazy month. We're at the 2nd last week....still caught in the wedding frenzies. Unfortunately I'm struggling to find the time to craft this whole month, except for these few quick wedding cards.

Hope u have a great weekend ahead!

xoxo,

Wedding Card no.2

TGIF!!!

Another wedding to attend tomorrow.

Aside from the usual wedding cards, I decided to add dear lizzy's gorgeous bloom & it was heavily stickled, so glittery. (=

Something simple. And finally using my making memories paper stack.

Have a great weekend!!

xoxo,

September - The start of wedding season

6 weddings in 7 weeks (back to back). Is that insane or what?

I guess I'm at that phase in life.....that marriage phase. Pretty soon it'll be the baby phase - school phase - college phase - children getting married phase - grandchildren......and the cycle continues. I realized that time flew by so fast, so much so that my mind cant register I'm already at the next phase.

I have come to learn that 'worrying' is a waste of time. I know that we ladies tend to worry at very single thing, to the point where we forget to savor the moment. Worrying makes us lose focus on what we're suppose to do. And what does worrying do?? It causes anxiety & stress which will lead to destruction of our bodies.....and eventually every beautiful moment just passes u by.....like a stranger.

So today, I have a challenge for you. Savor your day, be thankful & one day at a time is what it takes to keep the doctor away. *Cheers ladies*

Making wedding cards for my lovely couple friends. ENjoy!

CASE study challenge #5

Good Morning dear crafty friends!

After a 5 1/2 day holiday, I'm back. Well I spent most of my holiday recovering from flu & cold... sad to say I've not fully recovered yet. My guess is I'm not sleeping well....too busy separating my time for different pockets in life.

BUT BUT I manage to squeeze in some time to participate in this challenge. Cindy was right when she said I'll most likely submit in cards for the next few challenges. More of my taste perhaps?. *Smile*

So, this is mine...

xoxo,

A very kind soul gave me these....

Drool, Drool, Drool!!

A colleague of mine, Stephanie, gave me this lovely crochet flowers and gorgeous appliqué. She left them at my desk this morning, isn't she a sweetheart ?Thank you, thank you!! Gosh I LOVE everything!! Cant wait to use them.......but again, aren't they too pretty to use? I could stare at them all day...(=

I wont be crafting for the next days because the book shelves in my scraproom is infested with white ants. Gosh, i get goose bumps just thinking bout them....geli!! We had to throw 2 rows of books away....it was devastating.....and it was the first time in my life witnessing this disgusting sight....horrid creatures munching away on the books. IT was a fiesta for them and horror for me. Anyways, Aaron already treated their nest with poison. As cruel as I may sound, I pray that they bring the poison back to the queen and KILL the whole colony....and never to surface again.

On a happier note, I can stare at the gorgeous flowers!! Btw, I am thankful that the ants did not attack my scrap space. My patterned papers would have been delicious for them....LOL!

Have a great longggg weekend ahead. Selamat Hari Raya!!
