Bubbly Birthday Card

Finally found the picture of the card I posted earlier. This is the finished card...I didn't take one right after I finish it and it was done in a hurry therefore the inside has already been signed by some of us...

She is a very cheerful person therefore I added 'bubbly' for her...and it suits with the fishes as well!!! She went to laminate the card after that...she said so that she can keep it longer but the material I used is not really a card material so its a little too soft...the uncle that laminate for her say its not a card but she insisted that it was given to her as a card so it is a card for her...so cute of her...

Cabio's Blog Candy

Yesterday my heart really ache...from the bad and good news that I get. I guess the bad news is just too great that I felt a sharp pain at my chest...but its ok...I'll get over it.

Anyway, I've been browsing the net the whole day today and I think I am familiar with the term blog candy already!!! And I've found this...

click HERE for more info

It is a blog candy by Cabio Tse of Cabio's Craft Corner giving out this candy in conjunction with Cabio's birthday...I saw that a lot of crafter's birthday is at the end of the year (ie. November and December)...such holiday mood!!!

Really hope that I can win something as I really need some cheering!!!

Blog candy???

I was looking around all the inspirational blog I know...since I am very stress from work. Finalising my third file in 2 weeks and have to finish my fourth by this weekend...sometimes I am just wondering if this job is killing me.

Then miraculously, I saw this...Yenni from Scrapcollector is having a give away...a blog candy...I guess I really have been living in my own world...not familiar with the term at all.

Anyway, here it is...

Click on Yenni's blog for the details ^^

I know...those who know me (even myself) will be wondering why in the world do I waste my time in participating...knowing that my bad luck won't win me anything. Come to think of it, I've tried my luck in a lot of occasion...but never did I win anything at all...not even candies.

But like I said, I am in stress...I always kills my time doing things I know doesn't really help in completing my task (ie. cleaning - I used to wipe my house phones and keyboard...each key mind you when I really need to be studying for my exam or even finishing up my projects/assignments).

So I was thinking to try my luck in this blog candy...the dateline, 10 December 2010 is also a very special day to me since my results will be coming out on the very same day...

At least one can hope right...maybe the luck will stand with me on this ^^

More cards....

Some of the cards I made a while ago...due to my job nature I thought I'll just make a few so that I can give it during some special occasion since its impossible for me to get any done during my peak period. The fishes one I actually gave it to my friend already...will try to find the pictures to upload.

For the fishes, I did what I am best in...make the fishes sort of 'puffy'. A method I discover years ago...

The other two is more simple, I just emboss it. I added an eyelet to set a punched flower in place.

Puzzle of Life - Australia 2005

This is the longest project I've ever worked on so far...it took me 5 years to complete it (*blush*). It was a very simple mini scrapbook...more like memories of my friend and I in Australia. I was very lucky to meet her there and I thought I'll make this little something for her to keep as memory. Actually, I've completed about 90++% before I even left Australia but I just couldn't put my mind to finish it and drag it for sooo long. I sort of made everything from scratch...even the cover (I used a normal A4 colour paper to wrap around a very very thick cardboard), cut out little white papers as the pages, plastic covers as protective sleeve for each page, shrink normal photos so that I've got lots of mini photos, etc... In the end, I've even tried to make my own rubber stamp (as seen in the second picture)...It is at the bottom of the box I made to keep the album in).

I've choosen the title as I really like to play puzzles...and it just occur to me that our life is really similar to a very very big puzzle...with no distinctive picture but it is made up of small little puzzles and no matter how good or bad the experience is, your life is not complete if any of those is missing. Besides, you might not be able to hold on to the moment for the rest of your life, you must keep in mind that everything you've been through is really important and it is what made you the way you are today.

'Thank you' card

Did this quite long ago...actually I've forgotten about it until I go through my pictures. My sis wanted to thank a friend of hers so I offered to make a card for her. Initially I wanted to make a telephone for the card but the time doesn't allow it so I use my embosser to make the spirals. I have to purposely go get the blue ink as I only have white one. So with my limited tools I manage to make this very very simple card!!!

Pink elephant

Hehehe...finally...after 1 year only get to passed to Asha for her niece. The elephant was done quite long ago but I was just too lazy to sew the cloth for the back of the elephant. This is one of the most difficult sewing I ever done. I was afraid the ear will not be balanced thus I hand sewn it after I am done with the body...(broke several needles in the process^^)...I choose to sew the 'happy' eyes cos I think it looks cute in the paper fish that I used to do. I made this based on a key chain I received from my friend...most of my other key chain the elephant only have two legs...so I need to use some imagination to make this four legs elephant. Hopefully the little owner will like it!!!
