Summer vacation?

I find a bit contradicting when I see the 365 cards challenge title - "summer vacation". I'm technically on maternity leave, so everyday is like a summer vacation for me? Anyway, when I think of summer, I'd think of hiking and going out to the nature. So I made this card with birds and flowers. With a baby, I'm yet thinking how to hike with a stroller. Some might suggest a carrier, but carrying 20lb to hike may not be a fun thing. oh well, hope you like this card.

Thanks for visiting.

Sunday sketch

I'm playing along with the 365 cards sunday sketch challenge. I saw someone using different colors of the flower stamp to create a bunch of flowers which look very nice, so I was trying it. Unfortunately, it wasn't as nice as hers. It probably doesn't show very well in the picture, I embossed the bottom part of the card to give it some texture. Now, it looks like a wall.... with green wallpaper, with white panel at the bottom and a wall art. :P

a very merry christmas

Having kept checking the mailbox for a few days, my blog candy from Amy from Tsuruta Designs finally arrived!! Love the stamps and Amy even sent me a card. I took a few pictures but they are on another camera, let me upload it later!

Anyhow, one of the stamps I got is this "a very merry christmas" stamp. It looks great. And I made this card for the 365 challenge - So Unusual challenge. The glittered reindeers are from the Martha Stewart glitter set that I used my friend's when we gathered as "crop day".

Very baby girl like card

I'm playing along with 2 challenges:
1. Paper play challenge - make your own flower

At first, I wasn't really intended to put the flowers on the top right part of the circle, but because I didn't cut the circle perfectly, so it's a good way to hide it. :P I've made those paper roses before. If you're interested to know how to make it, follow this link.


2. "Less is More" challenge - metallic theme

I'm using the silver embossing powder for the monkey image. I was planning to make a birthday card for kids but it turns out it looks very pink-ish, looks more like a baby girl card. Maybe I'll reserve this for that purpose.
