Clean & Simple Stamping #FTL 173

When I saw this card sketch challenge from Clean & Simple Stamping #FTL 173, I thought it might be a difficult challenge as this got me thinking that I had to stamp something directly on the CARD without messing it up.... it was quite challenge but once I did the first one, I just wanted to do more!!!  A really cool card sketch! VERY EASY and QUICK!

Here are my cards that I made last night.

This card will be for my brother in law.  His birthday is coming up in few days!




Here are two more cards.  The first one I used the Cool Carribean stamping ink colour.  I was not satisified with the outcome. So I decided to try again with the black stamping ink colour.  There it is!!! Much better

Here is one more card.

On the back of the cards, I was delighted to stamp with this new stamp which was a surprise gift from Sharlene. Thank you, Sharlene for the beautiful stamp!

Thanks for looking!

Interesting Tour Double Page Layout

Yesterday I worked on two challenges for Two Scrapbook Friends. 

One challenge was to use lots of  LETTER STICKERS.  Here is my left side layout for this challenge.

The second challenge was to USE SOME TEXTURES!    I have used the crimpler for the ground. I have used the Cuttlebug embossing for the alligator diecut which I got from the Cricut.  It was the Animal Kingdom cartridge.  I also added sewing to the alligator.  I think they really showed up very well to show how ferious the alligator can be!  I know the wiggly eyes softened this alligator up.  :)  Here is my right side layout.

A close up of the alligator to see the TEXTURES!

Here is the picture of the double page layout!

Little Red Wagon - Challenge #115 - Itty Bitty Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

Hello!  Here is my card for the Little Red Wagon.  They are having a challenge to do Itty Bitty Yellow Dot Binki.

Challenge #115

When I saw the word binki, I immediately thought of the summer package of clear stamps that I have in my stash.  I was excited to use it because I never used it before.....  To my surprise, there are even DOTS on the binki!  What a bonus!

About the colour, YELLOW, I realized that I do not have any YELLOW patterned paper....  That is something I need to buy from the scrapbooking stores!  I will make sure I put that down on my list.

I KNOW that the binki are itty bitty because they won't fit me  :)

Also, it was my first time trying the SEW RIBBON.  Of course, I ran out of YELLOW ribbon.... Guess that I do not choose that many YELLOW scrapbooking stuff!  I am liking the Sew Ribbon so far.  I feel I still need practising...and I will do that!

So here it is!!!!

Shopping at 2SF!

This morning I woke up with delight thinking of my plans of going out to 2SF (Two Scrapbook Friends) store.  Of course I jumped out of bed and did my pre school routines for my children.  As soon as they were off to school, I jumped into my vehicle... and drove off!

I stayed at the store for a pretty loooonnnnngggg time....  Wandering around and tossing in some delicious stuff  that I found into the basket.  I bought some SEW RIBBON tools.  I cannot wait to play with them!  I bought many PP.... got some specific PP from BO Bunny for the ATC Swap #2.  I cannot wait to start working on my ATC cards and I sure look forward to the outcome of this swap with a fabulous group of "forum friends".

At the cashier, I was expecting a gift certificate for the 500 buttons I got...  I used that gift certificate for part of my delicious stuff! 

Then I was looking out for my Christmas Blog Hop prize.

Thank you to 2SF for this fun 12 Days of Christmas Creations Blog Hop!

They did a random draw from all the people who left comments on each blog and who decoded the secret phrase - and the winner was ME!!!!   I got this!

Thank you so much 2SF!

To my surprise, I got another prize which I have forgotten all about!!!  My memory is bad! I won this prize!!!!

Tonight I went through 2SF blog and could not find where or what I won this for...  So I decided to investigate the forum, yes 2SF has a forum.  There it was!!!!  It was the BURST OF COLOUR ONLINE CROP in November.  I won for "OVERALL FAVORITE"  Isn't that sweet!?!?!  Thank you 2SF!

I remembered that I also won 100 buttons from Sharon, DT for 2SF.  Thank you, Sharon!

Now I am off to open up and look through to see what are in the prize kits that I WON!

Thank you for looking and GOOD NIGHT!

Out of Colour Comfortable Zone for a Christmas Card

Now I know that Sharlene have received my Christmas card.  In this card, I have enclosed a family photocard.

For the card itself, I used pink, and green  Almost none of  the traditional Christmas colours (red and white) except for the presents under the tree, had been used which made me feeling strange but yet it is a beautiful card.  Sometimes I need to open up with colours and be non-traditional!

The felt tree had been a Christmas tag.  When I saw this in the Christmas section at a store, there were three trees attached with the ribbon loops to be used as tags.  I thought the trees were pretty and can come handy for scrapbooking!  Simply, I cut off the ribbon loop and used it!

I saw that Sharlene have been using pink and green and pearls a lot.  So here is the card for her!

A New Blog Facelift

Today I was determined to change my top part of the blog because I thought it was too plain and BORING!  The problem was that I did not know how to fancy it up!!!!  I tried this and that!  That sure took away my patience but here I am with the new facelift.  I think I am satisified for now... I will need time to get used to it and see if I do LIKE it!  Thanks to Shabby Blogs.  I used this blog to guide me through this challenge!  I DID IT!!!!!
