21st Birthday

One of our cousin's daughter celebrated her 21st birthday last month at the Pasir Ris Chalet so I decided to do up a canvas page for her keepsake.  I used the stamp image from donna downey large foam stamp and one of my favourite Magnolia stamp image, some acrylic paint, glimmermist, flowers and a simple felt frame from Blueyedezines to complete the gift.

Here is the finished product:

Flower in a pot

I used left over canvas materials to make these lovely flower for my flower pot cards.

I was inspired by Splitcoaststampers video at you tube.  It was a lovely flower pot that they taught at the video and I added my canvas flower which I painted with various paints and added some glitter and a Swarovski crystal in the centre.  When the person received the card she can take out the flower pin and use it as a hair accessories or as a brooches.

Here are some of my flower pots card that I have complete the last few days!

So what have you been busy with for the month of May?  For me I had been busy finishing some cards cos had a order of 30 cards from a friend a while ago and every card had to be different. 

This is one of the card that I have completed in the month of May.  The girl is from one of the Hanglar kit.  She is so cute and I used my copic pen to colour her, added some patterned paper and ribbon to complete the card. 

Here is another card that I have completed:

For this card I've used the Magnolia range of stamp, my copic pen, doily paper and some patterned paper to complete the card.

Beside making cards I've also completed some altered craft like this canvas bag from Donna Downey and Prima.  I am truly inspired by her video that she shared in her blog.

Thank you for visiting my blog! I will be posting more cards in the next few days.

Hanglar & Stanglar

Received these Hanglar stamps from Sweden yesterday. 

Can't wait to create some cards with these lovely stamps. These stamps are currently only available in Sweden and Norway and they are so yummy! 

I stamped some images and use copics colours to colour the 2 images. 

So love these stamps!  Guess will be spending some time making handmade stuff with these stamps.

Laines Creative Escape with Donna Downey

Over the weekend I attended an event hosted by Laines called The Creative Escape workshop.  We had Ms Donna Downey here in Singapore to share with us her wonderful workshop.  Had a wonderful time learning the various techniques including the various resist technique from her.  It was both an enjoyable and tiring day but I am glad I had signed up for the class. 

I am beginning to love all things canvas, here are some photos taken during the class and some of my completed layouts.

Happy Year of the Tiger!

So how did your Chinese New Year went? 

We had our reunion dinner at my place, the kids enjoyed themselves staying up late into the night and we had our favourite raw fish "Yu Sheng" at the strike of midnight to ursher in the new year. 

It had been a rough Ox year for both me and hubby cos it has taken both our dad away.  But it was also the year where Isaac and Rebekah came to bring joy and comfort to our family.

We hope this year will be a better year for all in the family!

So how did my week went?

So what have you been doing this week? Chinese New Year is round the corner and yes my week from Monday was a really busy week for me.  Although we will not be having any festive decoration at home but we will still have our reunion dinner with the whole family and lots of goodies for friends and relative who are visiting us.

So how did my week went? On Monday was chatting with July about about how beautiful her handmade journal was.  She told me it was pretty easy to do so I decide to buy the material and have her come over to my place to teach me to handmade them. 

We went to Laines followed by Art Friend and bought all the materials needed and she came over to show me how to put together a journal.  After she went home I found some lovely materials that I have bought previously to sew my bags and made up these 2 lovely journals which I will be using to journal about my son.

You can also visit her blog to see all the lovely art piece that she is creating from time to time.  Thank you  July for showing me how to handmade these lovely journal.

Yesterday I went with Endina, Alviss, my mom, Isaac and Melissa to IMM to do some last minute shopping, bought some stuff for Isaac put some of my sample stock at some of the children retail store for their consideration.  We came home and all were so tired had a afternoon nap and made some cards which are going for sale this coming March.

Today we went over to 2nd auntie place at Bedok to pick up our traditional "Nian Gao" or sticky cake which is one of my favourite will take some picture of it.  This cake is different from the rest selling in the market cos it's got lots of different nuts in it and it's really yummy.  Isaac had a fun time having cheese cakes and playing with the dogs.  Met up with my friend Fiona for lunch and gave her this little 6" x 6" journal and I am glad she likes it too!

So much for this week, will be busy preparing for the coming CNY.  Thank you for visiting my blog.  I wish everyone a very Happy n Prosperous Tiger New Year
