Sweet sunday sketch

In the past few days, I've been very productive in terms of making cards.  Here is another one inspired by the Sweet Sunday Sketch 

Thanks for visiting! 

Holiday leftover

Using leftover materials is certainly my joy when making cards.  So when I see the challenge from Jingle Belles, I quickly created this card using my scaps. 

The background paper was probably cut last year or the year before when making christmas card.  I can't remember why I left it there, maybe I've made enough, so I can sit back to enjoy the holidays instead of making cards. :)  

The beige strip which has the sentiment on it was "created" when I was cutting out the 12"x12" card stock to make the card.  The golden glitter tape was an accident.  I was making the other card and cutting out the glitter tape.  Later on, I realized I cut it too long.  Don't ask me how it happened, I DID measured before I cut. ;) 

Anyway, hope you like this card. 

Christmas card making time!

I normally started making Christmas cards around August. Since the additional family member keeping me busy (I'm not complaining ;) ), i just got the time to make a few.  Hope i can make them in time this year.

I'm playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  Got the snowman stickers awhile ago.  Couldn't believe there's some good find at dollar store.  Hope you like it. 

Pretty patterns

I'm playing along with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge. 

I picked this tree patterned paper.  Hope you like it.  

Here is a closer look. 

Retro sketches challenge

My card is inspired by this Retro Sketches challenge.  

I particularly like this sketch because it's a good way to use up the scrap papers. :)

Freshly Made Sketches

It's been a busy summer, so it's quite hard to find some time to make some cards.  Today, I'm playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches  challenge.  It must be the fact that I haven't made a card for quite a while.  It took me quite some time to get the right set of pattern papers that go well together.   

Hope you like it. 

Less is More challenge - Sunset

I find I`m not very good at the color challenge.  But I`ll give it a try anyway.. 

I`m playing along with the Less Is More color challenge.  The topic is sunset.  I first think of this golden card stock which was used as the base behind the lion stamp.  Adding to it is the orange glitter birthday hat.  The glitter is coming from a Halloween themed glitter package, but I think it serves pretty well here.

Less is More 2 legs challenge & Freshly Made Sketches challenge

Father's day is coming, I guess a lot of the fellow card makers are making father's day card.  This one is for my hubby. 

I'm participating the "Less is More" 2 or 4 legs challenge, and the Freshly Made sketches challenge this week. For the 2 / 4 legs challenge, I was thinking about some kind of animals to put on my card initially.  But then inspired by the guest designer's card, I wanna make my own monster card too.  It might look a bit better if my handwriting is more artistic.  I guess it's time to get some calligraphy books to learn!

EDIT: I've also linked my card to AAA cards challenge.  Thanks for Sarah's suggestion! 

Less Is More Challenge - Use some Metal

This is one of the very few one-layer cards that I've made, cuz I usually find it difficult to make one.  But I think I'm quite happy with this card that I use it to participate in the Less is More challenge.  The "thank you" text is using the silver metallic embossing powder.  The card stock that I use is a bit creamy in color, I guess it might have better effect if I use a more white one.  Anyway, hope you like it. 

Fusion and TGIF challenge

While it's sad to see some of the card challenge sites closing, it's time to look for some new challenges to join.  I recently discovered two sites:  TGIF challenge and Fusion Card Challenge. And I'm participating their challenges for the first time. 

When I see this picture in the TGIF inspiration challenge , I immediately think of the card stock I got a while ago.  

Together with the sketch from this week's Fusion challenge, 

Here is my card: 

Retro sketches challenge

I think I'm getting close to the number of thank you cards that I wanna make. Next would be one more Father's day card. :)

I'm playing along with the retro sketches challenge this week.  I actually made the card two days ago but didn't get the chance to take picture and upload to my blog.  Thanks that the deadline got extended, so that I still have the chance to enter this challenge. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly made sketches -- thank you

Baby L recently starts to sleep less, which also means I have less time for myself including making cards!  I hope he would take longer naps once starting on solids. :) 

There are still a bunch of thank you cards I need to make for my son's school year end.  I'm playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  Hope you like it. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Reverse confetti sketch challenge

Now that Mother's day has passed, its time for Father's day card!

It's my first time playing along in the Reverse confetti challenge.  Here's my take: 

CAS (E) this sketch

Now that its getting closer to the end of the school year, I'm creating a few thank you cards for my son's teachers.  How many do I need? I still haven't counted, but I know there are a few short.

I'm playing along with the CAS(E) this sketch challenge.

Last minute birthday card request

I just realized that I'm so behind on cards.  Normally, I have one or two extra bday cards for emergency.  But it looks like I now have more excuse to make more cards. :)

Here is my another take on the Retrosketches challenge.

Retrosketches challenge

We usually give out thank you cards to teachers at my son's school.  Now that it's May, it's definitely a good time to start making some!

Here's my take on the Retrosketches challenge this week:

Finally some crafting time

Since Baby L was born, I haven't got time for doing some crafts.  Finally the time has come.. with the sacrifice of an afternoon nap. But I think it totally worth it.
