You're a star!

Got a new PTI set from ebay, loving the star images and I can’t keep my hands away from it.

Made a set of 5 congratulations cards and going to enter the set for this week A passion for PTI challenge. ( Congratulations to Team GB, and how nice is Jess Ennis! Wish there is less TOWIE people and more proper true inspirational people on TV!)

At the moment, I am exploring some new techniques in doing up my blog and photos. As I am not a computer guru so it might take me some time to do it. Please bear with me if you see the interface of my blog it is in a total mess(!!)

Banners

A quick card sharing today to kick start my birthday week :D

Entering this card to CAS-ual Friday challenge. No excuse not to play along while banners and flags are the most ‘it’ items in the craft world.

Will be doing loads of inking this week with my new toys that came all the way from the states.

Catch you later :)

Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampin’ Up- daffodil delight, elegant eggplant

Pattern Paper: Papertrey Ink

Stamp Set: Papertrey Ink- Flower Fusion #7, Everyday button bits

Aim high

This week CAS-ual Friday topic is something in the sky, so what objects should I go for? First, I thought of a bird..then butterfly, but I want to make a more boyish card this week, so I am going for rockets!! And I can use all the left over scrap paper from the baby album. One stone, 2 birds:D found a perfect quote for this little card as well. 

All my recent cards are all kinda Olympics inspired, wonder what I am going to make next week when it is all over? and rumours that the Spice girls will be in the closing ceremony?! Totally brings back childhood memory(!!)

But now, let’s cheer for Team GB and hope more medals to come!

Bike

New card, new challenge. This is for the a passion for PTI challenge-summer time.

Summer is the time to get your bike out and go for a ride! ( ok..that’s not totally true for me since I have no idea how to ride a bike, hahaha) Anyway, it's the spirit that counts.

I finished most of the cards these days while I am watching the Olympics, trying to multi task a bit otherwise I will get nothing done within these 2 weeks!

Getting a bit emotional when I was watching Team GB male gymnastic team the other day. Keep up the good work everyone. ( And come on Andy Murray, you can totally do it!!)

My duvet inspired cards!!

I am entering another challenge! I am totally on fire! lol  (and only 3 more pages left on the baby album!)Trying to kick the lazy bug away before it comes back in winter.

So this week CAS-ual Friday challenge is my favourite colour combo! Lime, aqua and navy.

I need to made two cards to show how much I love these colours and one design is actually inspired by my current duvet cover (!!) Most of the stuff in my room are actually in these colours.

A really quick card for the CAS-ual Friday challenge.

5 minutes on setting up and paper cutting, 5 mins for a trial card on draft paper, and 2 minutes for stamping on the actual cardstock.

 

For me, making the trial card always took longer than making the actual card (!!)

And I finally got around to use this WMS stamp set for the first time as well! I think I bought them more than 6 months ago..opps…

Anyway, sun is out today( finally!!) and I’m planning to start my gum session again!

Catch ya later.

Im back :)

I  can’t believe I am back from Florida for more than 4 weeks now, and I think now it's time for me to come back to ‘normal’ life and start to blog again. ( My routine for the first week back is work>bed> back to work, I even left my suitcase unpacked for the whole week(!!)I did my washing the 1^st day then the suitcase got left in the living room for. the. whole. week .terrible I know. Felt like a zombie when I was dealing with all the paperwork sitting on my office desk when I was back at work. Proper zombie. Not joking) But, Sun is shining today after 3 weeks of rain so I think today is a good day for a new post!

Just a wee mention on my holiday in case you are interested…Florida is so much fun and HOT, unbearably hot, burnt to a crisp 1^st time in my life. Wish I got more money and luggage allowance so I can bring home more craft goodies and cheap stuff from the outlet! I managed to bring back 6 12x12 photo album this time(!!) Should put another 4 in Gary’s luggage if I had known his luggage was not overweight!

So I will show you what I am working on these days, another baby album, baby boy this time(much more challenging than baby girl i think !) , and some baby cards I quickly put together the other day(not sure why i made a baby girl card instead of a baby boy tho..). There is so much cute craft stuff for baby/baby shower in America so I guess I will be working on baby theme for a while from now on. Entering this card for A Passion for PTI , a while since last time I enter any challenge.

 A sneak peek of the album..

 

Will try to go back to the effective mode rather than the holiday mode(= lazy mode) which I was in for the whole month! Still got a holiday album to make. Will add that to my never ending to do list.

Catch up soon!
