It's Christmas time.... not yet

It's almost the end of July.  That means I need to start making Christmas cards!!  I know it's a bit early. but I work slowly plus with a baby, it's hard to find time for some crafting.  


Anyway, this is the card I've made during the weekend for the Jingle Belles challenge.  The challenge is to use red or green color in the card but not both.  I used the opaque embossing powder for the image and then dab on some ink on it.  The color distribution is a bit uneven but it wasn't too bad when you look from afar. :)  


Hope you like it. 


P.S. It's getting late. I'll take some better pictures on this card later and upload it.

In Bloom

My wedding anniversary is coming up (geez... still haven't thought of what to get for anniversary gift!!)  It's our 5th anniversary. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!! 

I'm participating 2 card challenges here:
1. Simply Less is More : header as inspiration

2. Allsorts challenge -  in bloom

The first thing I think about the header is the blog headers of the crafts sites I usually visit.  They're just so pretty!!  I think it didn't turn out exactly I want. I don't know if the color combination is not right or the text is not prominent enough, or the flowers are not close enough. 

I have a flower punch that I haven't used for ages.  I suddenly "discovered" that when looking up some other things in my crafts drawer.  This is my very first punch I got actually!!

Hope you like it.

Happy birthday card

As I've mentioned, with the vacation days I'm taking, I got a super long weekend.  I'm so glad that I can catch up on my card making.  I just realized that I still haven't made the birthday card for my hubby!!  So, I'm playing along in the 365 cards sketch challenge.

 

And here is my take on it:
