It's been a while..

It's been a while that I've posted any cards on my blog.  I did made a few cards during those time and attempted to join a few card challenges.  But by the time I was done with my cards and took pictures of them, the deadlines were already passed. :P  

OK.  I've made this just in time! 

My friend is expecting a baby, so I'm making a baby card for her.  At the same time, I'm playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. 

Thanks for visiting.

Hello baby

 

My friend is expecting a baby boy, so I'm making a baby card for her. I'm inspired by the Clean&Simple challenge this week.  After making it, I realized the color combination isn't too baby-like.  Hope it could stand out from the tons of baby cards she's receiving. :) 

Here is a closer look:

Bundle of Joy

I'm making a baby card for a friend who's having a baby boy. It's always a pleasure to make baby cards, cuz it's really something to celebrate. But at the same time, since I've finished the scrapbook for my son, I have lots of baby boy related stuff in my stock, I had a hard time to pick which one I wanna use.

Anyway, here is my take on the Clean and Simple challenge:

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.

Baby card

I'm playing along the 365 card challenge for the Saturday sketch.

I find babies come in batches. When my son was born about 6 months ago, I know 2 friends who were having babies around that time. And in a few months, I know a few friends who will be having babies too. So, I'm making a card. I guess you know it's for a baby boy from the color of the card. I wanted to put a sentiment on it, but I cannot find a good place to put. Therefore, I give it up. :-) Hope you like it.

Quilled baby carriage

A quilled baby carriage for a baby girl. At first, I was planning to use quilled circles for the wheels. While looking for places to put some gems, I find it looks quite nice to use them as wheels.

I'm playing along in the Less Is More Challenge.

Welcome, Baby Girl!

My friend is going to have a baby girl soon, so I'm making a card for her and preparing to send it overseas. With this, I enter the 365 cards super sketchy sunday challenge:


This is my card:

Baby shower favors

I know sometimes things aren't working exactly the way you want. However, when making the baby shower favors, there are more things that didn't work the way I want than I expected. Let me share this adventure here:

The wraps that I got to wrap the cookies aren't big enough. With the limited time, I couldn't find wraps or boxes that I like. So I eventually made my own bag.
When I thought everything will go smoothly, with the bag I made, I wanted to use the ribbon to tie it. However, I do not have a punch with smaller hole (other than my big 3-hole punch), and my craft punches aren't powerful enough to poke through the bag. I had to end up just putting the ribbon in the front.


Anyway, it turns out to be pretty nice (at least from my point of view :-) )
