Altenew July & #3 challenge

I made this card, trying to combine both challenges at Altenew this month; July 2017 Inspiration Challenge and Sketch challenge #3 for scrapbook page. I used the rose, and the three main colors on this inspiration photo, and for the sketch challenge, I used the sketch part. Sketch challenge also allows "other project" than just scrapbook page. The color combo is also similar this month.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
Have a nice evening!

Summer time fun!

In summer time, I love to go to the beach to gaze stars... from the sunset when I can spot the first star... I currently live by the beach, and summer is all year around... but never get tired of the scene... I made this card for Lawn Fawnatics Challege #8 "Summertime fun!". I'm going to send this card to my godmother who says, enjoying to receive my handmade cards... :)

Thinking of you too...

As I mentioned before, I have another friend who's been dealing with her health & her husband health in California. I made this card for her, hoping this will give her a bit of smile, and also let her know that I've been thinking of her also. She sent me this Tilda's stamp late last year. I think that was for my birthday. I've been wanting to color her ever since! :-) I now have Flower Soft, and wanted to use it for the Lilac Tild is carrying. I knew it would work for my lavender image but wasn't sure for lilac, especially for smaller image, but I like the way it turned out :-) When I want to cheer someone up, I tend to use the color Yellow :-) (also for the birthdays:-)) . I also tend to go rather clean & simply for Tilda. I think Tilda herself is so cute, and I don't want her to be burried in too many embellishments. This style works for me :-) I stamped flowers from Rubber Stampede, on the top, to make it look like lilac she is holding :-) I added glitter glue (puprple) randomely to give a bit of shimmer to the card. I used swiss dots embossing folder for background paper. The sentiment is from Hero arts. To finish it off, I used a pretty white ribbon! :-) I layered the main image & the sentiment with dimentional foam to give a bit of depth to the card.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Happy Easter!! :-)

I'm submitting this card to Magnolia-licious challenge.

Thinking of you...

I've been thinking of my MOUSE friend (house mouse online group friend) in California. In fact, I have TWO mouse friends I've been thinking of in California but this goes to one of them, and also later, I'll upload another "thinking of you" card for another friend...
She's been rather healthy (like me :-) ) but for the last couple of months, she has been having more doctors appointments than she's ever had, in such a short time. So I've been wanting to make a card to give her a bit of smile, and shows her I've been thinking about her and praying...
Lavender & purple always calm my nerve down :-) I luv working with the color & the flower. It just relaxes me, since I was a 4th grader... :-) And now you know why I have THIS blog name & profile picture. :-)  Flower soft never appealed to me til I met THIS house mouse stamp & this color of flower soft :-) I luv how it looks. Hope you agree with me too. lol :-)

I also loved this week's challenge sketch at the Sweet Stops. And I finally got a chance to USE new papers from DCWV which I found at Joann right before I left PA, and BROGHT them with me in my carry on, because I got nervous for missing luggage & in the mail. I fell in love with these 2 stacks of papers from DCWV, and guess what the name is; the Chateau Lavender Matstack & its Cardstock Matstack. :-) Now you know how much I love Lavender! lol! When you have great papers, you just want to use them as many as possible, and so do I :-) I usually don't decorate inside of the card, but I did, for this, using the same paper I used (circles) for upper and bottom corners of the front. I even used a small part of the paper for the sentiment from this stack :-) It may not show on the pciture but the card stock I layered the main image & the sentiment are shimmery paper. Hope this card will give her a bit of relaxation when she looks at it ...
Thank you very much for stopping by my blog today. Have a great long weekend! :-)

Get Well Soon...

well, it started out to be a "get well soon" card after I heard she had a Stroke, and had to be in rehab. for 2 months. I finally made a card, and heard that she was getting out in two days! I was happy about fast recovery! So I changed the sentiment from "Get well soon" to"Thinking of You" :-) well, this is the thing. We play cards everytime we get together. That's "OUR" thing, and I found this House Mouse image so perfect, even with the wooden chair in the back!, just like their Dining table where we usually play! :-) I used a darker yellow DP (same design as other light yellow poldka dots paper I used for this card) to punch the flowers out, and I used gold gel pen for the center of the flowers.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. Have a great day! :-)

~ Thinking of You ~ by Tilda

This card is for 2 challenges; Magnolia-Licious Orange/Green Challenge & Magnolia-Licious Highlightes "Recipe" challenge (4 flowers, 3 types of patterned paper, 2 Magnolia images & 1 ribbon). I thought of making a Valentine's day card, but when I thought of the sentiment to finish this card up, "thinking of you" came to my mind. Actually a doller stamp image is Thinking of You being inside rather than Edwin image! Yes, that's just one stamp I used, but separately :-) I attached Tilda's image with pop up dots (and the sentiment) to give a bit of dimention. I used Crystal stickles all around of nesties, sentiment & Edwin, and also used them on roses & leaves. I've handdrawn the grass in 3 different colors of markers on the bottom of Tilda's image.

This week's Etsy Inspired Challenge is from the store of Queen of Tarts Cakes. Like somebody asked in the blog challenge, I also get inspired by so many products/pics the stores have, and this week, i decided to combine 2 products/pics as my inspiration and made a card :-) Two small pics are the ones I was inspired by.

I paper pieced the dolls' clothes. I made a "quilt block" and "sew" (actually paper pierced!! lol!) around it :-) I punched many 1/16" holes around the oval nesties, on scallop nesties. I think this card turned out fun, cute, and cozy looking :-)

Postcard to my mother

I know she would luv this postcard. She luvs the beach as much as i do! She still goes to scuba diving around the world at the age of almost 70! I'm glad she is quite healthy!
