Twilight Craze!

I am currently reading this...

and this.....

You would wonder how in the world could I read two books at a time. Well, the story went like this. I used to rent books from a book store in town when I was in my teenage years. I stopped since I came out to work and I missed those times terribly. So two weeks ago I decided to make a trip to that book store and see if I can find any book that would keep me interested for a week...at least. And guess what...I found New Moon! A lot of my friends including the media have commented that New Moon kinda flop although they made a hit in the box office. So I woved not to watch the movie but to read the book instead. Only after two or three pages into the book that I was completely hooked. The more I read, the more I find myself asking questions about Twilight. I have never watch that movie but hubby got the DVD. So I spent my Friday night watching Twilight and guess what?? I....ummm...ermmm....kinda like Edward. I could not decide if I like Edward Cullen more or Robert Pattinson....lol. So the next crazy thing I did after watching the Twilight movie was I went to get myself the book. And now I am completely and utterly in love with Twilight saga :) Anyone wanna join me?? lol ;p

Enough about Twilight......I don't want to bore you. I have one more Christmas card to share with you today. Ain't that snowman cute? It's from my PTI stamp set.

Christmas is only eleven days away....have you finished with your Christmas shopping or card making? If not, don't fret because I am on the same boat as you :)

Enjoy your day!

Pre-birthday celebration with my gals

Happy Friday ladies!!

I took a day off from work yesterday and this is what greeted me when I reached my office this morning. I just love my gals!

Pressie from my bestie, Hui Fang. The bag contained a bath set from L'Occitane. Is it me or does the bag resemble some Basic Grey paper??

Pressie from my partners in crime, Yee Lin and Cheu Ping....lol ;p The card is made by Yee Lin....so sweet of her!

Card from Jane, another fellow cardmaker. Isn't her card beautiful?? Love the Japanese doll by HA :)

Lunch with the gals at iCanton (from left Yee Lin, Me, Ann aka my SIL and Cheu Ping. Missing in action is Jane and Hui Fang)

My lunch....BBQ pork with rice...yummylicious!

The cake that Yee Lin bought (it's a surprise!)....Butter Scotch Pecan....very tasty!

Thanks for the wonderful lunch and presents sweeties!! Love you gals! You made my special day even more special! Hugs to you all!

Holly Jolly Christmas

 is a crazy week here! I  have been very busy with work as well as my Christmas cards order. And I look like a zombie with very dark circles underneath my eyes. I even took a day off today to go to the hospital with my dad for his appointment. He suffered a heart attack early last year and was under medication. The doc said although his condition was under control due to the medication but this is not a long term solution. So, today we decided that my dad should go for an operation early next year...most probably in March.

Anyways, I have card to share with you. I made these last weekend and they were already sold out. I'm really happy to say that I've sold 31 Christmas cards thus far. Too all my 'customers' who are reading this, a big THANK YOU goes to you all! Thanks for your business and support!

psst...I am going to celebrate my 18th...oppss I mean 28th birthday on Sat :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

R = Robot

Happy Tuesday ladies! Thanks for all the sweet comments on my Christmas cards.....I feel so loved! You ladies really know how to spoil me :)

This week is my first DT challenge over at Let's Capture Our Memories. Rusha challenged us to create boys only card and here's what I did:

I made this card for a colleague who ordered a birthday card for a three year old boy. What a perfect timing! It took me almost three hours to complete the card! Yeah..can you believe it?? Three freaking hours! But it's worth the time and effort because she loves the card.

Come join us at LCOM....I would love to see your creations! Happy Crafting!

Christmas Cards.....and more Christmas Cards!

Good morning ladies! Today is a super busy day for me so I am going to make this really short. I was quite productive over the weekend as I created eleven cards already...woohoo! These are three of out the five design I created.

I made this glove card last year and it was a hit....I sold about eleven cards. I totally changed the design to make it look different from last year and also added a bell. I just love the sound of the bell :)

This was also another hit last year.
ETA: I just saw a new challenge by Cath at MFW and thought I should enter this card for the 'All Creatures Great & Small Challenge'.

I saw the buttons snowman on Martha Stewart site and immediately draw inspiration from it. I used the polka dots basic II from PTI to create the background.

Thanks for coming here.

Creative Card Crew Challenge

It's me again! Two posts in a day...how's that?? :)

I stumbled upon this challenge blog called "Creative Card Crew" and since their challenge for this week is  Christmas, I thought I would join in the fun since I have a few Christmas cards up on my sleeve :)

I am seriously getting old....I cannot even remember which manufacturer this paper is from though my guess would be Cosmo Cricket. Can you believe I just bought this paper last Saturday and yet I cannot remember the brand??.....bummer ;p The stamp is from PTI....lovin' it!
ETA: The paper is from Basic Grey :)

Thanks for your sweet comments!!

Christmas Ornament Card

Hey ladies!

Today's card was made using the October Afternoon paper that I had for months. Don't you just love the pink text and the white snowflake prints? Delish! It is double sided and comes with coordinating pink polka dots. More delish! The cardstock is by Coredinations which I also had it in my stash for months.

I am into ornament card this year and this one looks similar to the ornament card I've made earlier...it's fun!

Now is it me or do you think that the ornaments look like strawberries? Seriously, they almost look like they can eat, lol :)

I started my Christmas card sale earlier this week and I'm happy to say that I sold 17 cards already....woot! woot! I hope this year sale will exceed last year where I sold 25 cards :)

Merry & Bright

Good morning ladies!

Can you believe how fast time is passing by?? Christmas is just 25 days away! So much to do yet so little time. My top list of things to do is to put up the Chistmas tree. Have you put up yours?

I am now in Christmas mode so please bear with me and don't get sick of my Christmas cards :) The stamped image is from PTI Take A bough stamp set and the paper is from OA. I layered the ornaments with glossy accent...but you can't really see it in the picture.

Thanks for coming here! Have a great Monday!

Christmas Cardmaking Class at Smidapaper

Happy Sunday ladies!

It's been a crazy week over here! I'm having lots of late night sleeps, then cousin's visit from Singapore and rushing to get my Christmas cards done. Phew! A day just isn't enough for me. I'm sorry if you don't see me comment on your blog that often. Not that I forget you but because of my crazy schedule. I hope things will get back to normal again :)

Sheila told me that she's going to schedule my upcoming class at her store on Dec 10th. Since Christmas is just around the corner and making Christmas cards would be right theme for this class. If you are living in Penang and are interested to join in the fun, go here for more details.

Have a fun day!

I'm so HAPPY!

Morning ladies! Happy Thanksgiving to ya!!

I have a happy news that I want to share with you. Last month, I gotten to know this sweet gal, Jessy, who is also from Malaysia while I was blog hopping. Since then, I'm a regular to her blog. And one day, she posted about a DT call at Let's Capture Our Memories. I was excited about it and submitted my application. Yesterday,  I received an email from Darlene that I was choosen to be part of their team!! I'm looking forward to work with these talented women! Oh yeah...my friend Tina is also in the team...hooray!

More Christmas cards to share.....

Good Morning peeps!

I had a great time creating with my SIL yesterday! She stayed with us for the weekend and we spent the whole of Sunday afternoon making cards. I was very happy that I made four cards, three out of which are of the same design. I'm gonna make a few more this week.

Do you notice lately that I love to make clean and graphic cards?? It's less time consuming and fun to make. But the only problem I have is I hoard lots of pattern paper and now they sit in the basket collecting dust. Not to mention that my monthly Scarlet Lime kit also come with at least 10pcs of pattern paper each month. Oh boy...I will never finish using them! Maybe I should come up with a blog candy or something to give away those paper. Please don't get me wrong of finding an easy way to get rid of my paper. I just want to share what I have and to give to those who need them more than me :)

Mr & Mrs

Woohooo! It's Friday already! Sorry, I couldn't contained myself just because weekend is approaching. I always love weekend and I already have plans for tomorrow :)

A very quick post to show you the card I made yesterday. My bestie ordered another wedding card from me. Thanks dear :) The lightning is a bit off and I didn't captured the photo the way I want it to be. The sentiment is from Unity Stamps. 

Thanks for visiting! And have a great weekend!

THANK YOU!

First of all, I would like to thank all my wonderful bloggy friends who commented on this post. Your encoragement and support have definitely lift up my spirit! To be frank, I was a bit teary when I read each and every of your comment. I have never thought that I would received such kind words from all of you. For this, I am thankful! **HUGS**

Btw, this is one of the cards that I made for the class at Smidapaper last month. It is also one of the rejected cards :)

Warmest Wishes

Morning peeps!

It's been a while since I update my post. A lot of things have been going around (good things though) and I'm too busy to make cards. I hope this week I'm able to sit down and be creative again :) This is a card I made yesterday. A very quick and simple card that took me only 15 mins to complete it.

Christmas is just a month away and I have lots of cards to make for this festive season. Everyone has been making Christmas cards and I'm falling behind. Got to start working on it soon....I hope :)

I thought I would share this with you.....I recently submitted seven cards to CARDS April call and none of them were picked. I try not to take this personally but somehow I feel a bit sad. So many thoughts have been running through my mind but one thing I keep telling myself is don't give up just because of rejection. I should learn from rejection/failure and keep improving myself. Not sure if I have the courage to submit again but I will try. And congrats to all my friends (you know who you are) whose cards are being choosen....I will take you as my inspiration :)
Thanks for stopping by!

It's A Boy!

I received an order for a baby card last week but totally forgotten about it. Thanks to Kezia (my customer...also a friend) for the reminder. So I whip out this card yesterday. I wanted to create a wave-like motion so I trimmed the paper using my ric-rac scisscors. While doing this, it suddenly gave me an idea that I could make my own ric-rac paper strip instead of spending money on ric-rac ribbon :) Can you see the sentiment clearly? It's a new alphabet stamp set that I bought last week.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I appreaciate each and every of the sweet comments that you left for me!

Plum Crazy Challenge

Morning ladies!! Have you watch the Michael Jackson 'This is it' show? I watched it 2 weeks ago with HB and my FIL (FIL as in father-in-law *wink*). I was amazed by how talented MJ was during the entire show! The dancers and the musicians are amazing too! I was especially drawn to those hot and hunky dancers...(if you know what I mean...lol). The songs that MJ sang during the show brought back memories too :) How about you? Do you like the show?

Anyways, I have a card made for the Plum Crazy challenge by Cath at Moxie Fab World. I rarely use this color which is why it's a challenge to me. The funny thing is I don't even have this color of cardstock in my stash. I bought it just for the challenge :) The moment I saw the Plum Fabric Flower Bobby Hair Pins that Cath featured on her blog, I was so inspired that I created this card.

The flowers are created by layering the circles that I tear from cardstock. Then I add black brads to the center....just like the flowers from the picture. I used the text stamp by Prima to create the background. Then I created the butterflies by stamping small dots (Unity Stamps) on a plum cardstock and punched out. I also stitched the butterflies with some French knots. The sentiment is from Unity Stamp too. I think this is by far the plum'mest' (is there such a word??) card I've ever made :)

Birthday Cards

Hello there! It's been a busy week here so please forgive me if I don't update my post regularly. HB just got home last week after being away for two months and I don't really get to create much except for a number of orders I received this week. I'm working on it still and I'm gonna share with you two of the cards I made yesterday. I have a few more coming up tomorrow :)

I feel like I've been neglecting my pattern paper these days and here's this card using my favourite paper from October Afternoon and also my favourite stamp from Crate Paper. Aren't those birdies the cutest thang???

I just love creating simple cards! They are cute and easy to make :)

Thanks for visiting me!
