K.I.S.S Challenge

Today, when I was thinking about making a christmas card, I thought "why not find a challenge to enter at the same time?". Then I found a challenge in Pals Paper Arts. This week's challenge is K.I.S.S. (a.k.a. Keep It Simple, Sweetie).

Here is my interpretation:


I couldn't find a good place to take a good photo of the card at night in the house. I might re-take it tomorrow morning.

I found that I haven't used my embossing kit for a while (btw, that is my very first scrapbooking / card-making tool). It turned out pretty well, it gave a nice texture for the card.

The position of the ribbon is a little weird. I found that *after* I glued the Christmas tree. But anyway..

First time challenger!

I've been following the 365 cards blog for quite some time, and this is my first time joining the challenge "Tied up in knots"!

This is a baby shower card for a colleague who is gonna have a baby girl in Dec.



The baby stroller is created using paper quilling. I saw this pattern somewhere (which I apologize I cannot recall) to use the heart shape for the top part.


Thanks for stopping by.

Some of my favorite craft blogs

I'm a frequent reader of the "365 cards challenge" blog. It's amazed how the participants can create great cards while satisfying the constraints indicated by the challenge. And some of the participants even enter the challenge everyday! Given that I make one card per month on average, that's mission impossible for me.

In particular, I found 3 blogs that I like to read:

• http://deannelesher.blogspot.com/
• http://simply-one-of-a-kind.blogspot.com/
• http://tsurutadesigns.blogspot.com/

I'm sure there are a lot more great blogs out there showcasing the work on handmade cards that I haven't discovered. Please feel free to leave comments to my blog.
Enjoy!

Relaunch of the blog

While I'm working on a web site to show my handmade cards and other paper crafts, I'm relaunching my blog to focus on my crafts work. Since I work slow on craft-related stuff, I will be posting some of my recent or favorite handmade cards for the next few postings.

Thanks for reading my blog!
