A flippy card

I saw this card on Jennifer McGuire's blog and thought I'll give it a try! And while I loved how it turned out, it took me more than 3 hours to create! (well nearly 2 of that was spent messing around on the silhouette trying to get the shape of the card right. On this note, do drop me a comment if you want the template for this card! I can send it over to you!)

I'm back to being obsessed with lace, pearls and doilies (which all appeared on this card), probably because the dear lizzy neapolitan line is so girly!

Going straight back to creating stuff now, and gonna try to get caught up with project life (eeks I'm only at week 17!!!!)

Playing catch up...

I'm back!! :)
Have been absent from here cos of work commitments & a grueling exam (which is finally over!!!)

Gonna make full use of this long weekend to play catch up on posting here & on my project life! :)

Meanwhile, here are a layout & a card made during my looooong hiatus (I haven't even really broke out my dear lizzy stuff to use yet!!!!) for colleagues!

Can I just say that I LOVEEEE the dear lizzy line of products?? The colours are so pretty!!! Perfect for my colleague's god daughter who's really cute as well! I've got a major weakness for babies that stick their tongues out.
Anyways, since she wanted to incorporate more photos into the layout, I kinda made a flippy album using 4 photos & a piece of 4x6 paper (where I drew in borders and lines) for her to write a note to her god daughter to read in a few (many) years time (?)

The card was for a guy.. something simple & masculine-ish! Find that working with a grid design always works for me when making guy cards. Something in the lines that makes it more masculine?

Anyways, enough rambling!! Major hearts for long weekends! Have a good one y'all!! I'll be back sometime over this weekend with more stuff! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's valentine's day today, and boy does karma have a way of making us eat our words. I was just making fun of people who receive teddy bears for valentine's day and guess what I should receive from my husband? Yup. Flowers with bears. Haha. Ah well, I've gotta say they're really pretty though! :) here's a photo of the flowers that's gonna make it into my project life this week!

And what did I get for him? Well I whipped up a small card for him after realizing that i haven't given him anything handmade for ages, bought him a whole cake (gonna have some in a bit yay!) and bought him dinner at skinny pizza.

And now, at 9pm, we're at home and getting ready to watch a movie, or part of it till I nod off (work is totally kicking my butt recently!) and me feeling exceedingly lucky for having found someone so perfect! :)

Happy birthday Kimmy!

Made a card for one of my colleague's birthday, and am quite happy with how it turned out!
Its a simple card, but thought that it turned out quite nicely!
I used my newly acquired sewing machine to stitch around a piece of card stock, used a penknife to cut out a heart in the middle, used a rub-on sentiment, adhered it using foam tape to my card base over a piece of patterned paper, and punched out a butterfly border and 2 little butterflies and I'm done!
Must have taken me about 15 minutes or so to do! :)

Farewell card (again boohoo)

:(( yet another colleague is leaving the bank.. Decided to make her a card using the sketch from frosted design.
Had some fun using my newly inherited sewing machine, scrap papers and distress ink (to colour the piece on which the sentiment sits on). Decided to pop the sentiment piece and the doily border up using pop dots to add some interest.

On another note, I've just changed the design of my blog! Got kinda bored of the bluish design and decided to go for a more girly, pink design!

Farewell card

:(( one of our close colleagues' last day is tomorrow.. Decided to make her a farewell card, hope she likes it!

Quite like the details on the card made mainly from prima flowers and resin pieces!
