New school year has started...

I was inspired by the video I watched while I had been thinking of making a bookmark for my new book. I hardly make anything out of paper to myself but decided to make this for myself, and rather quick. It took less than half an hr to make this from choosing the right stamp (both the image & the size) to finish. When this stamp set from Lawn Fawn came out, I was so happy to get one, because I once lived in Australia. They have many different kinds of "cirtters", and this stamp set was perfect! But I hardly have the chance to use these stamps...even this "famous" Koala bear "downunder", this was the first time to use it. I've been really liking "shaker" cards since it became popular several years ago because it just makes me happy and hope it would, for the recipients, too, and this case, myself! 😉

I tried to imitate the designs of Aborigine's boomerang, using white gel pen. I made this quick, no foam tape, just strong adhesive, so it's pretty flat, great for the bookmark. These days, there are different ways of making "shaker" mechanism, and  many different kinds of contents you can place inside the shaker window. 

Since Lawn Fawnatics is having a challenge; cards for kids, I'm submitting this. School has started, and Lawn Fawn's "critter" stamps are also appropriate for kid's cards, incld. myself, "kid" at heart! 😉

Hope y'all are having a relaxing Sunday evening... ❤

Christmas in July!

ok, so July has come and gone, and now it's already August!...but I started to make this card IN JULY :)  And I'm submitting this to HMFMC#246  which started in late July, which gave me an idea, because I was planning to send this friend a little gift, hoping for her to make a use of it for her fav. day coming up. And her birthday is Dec.24! 

For both circle frames were given elevation as well as the sentiment and "Chef Amanda" mouse with the foam tape to give some dimension. The sentiments in both circles frames were adhered without the foam tape.

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

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!

Happy Birthday #2

I made this card to my best friend from college. She is always super busy with work & at home. I thought these "herb" stamped images were great to relax her mind. :) 

The whole front panel is elevated with the foam panel underneath. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope you all are having a nice weekend.

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... :)

Happy Birthday! #1

...to my friend's high school daughter who is lucky enough to spend her birthday in Europe! 

I used the Hero Arts Ombre ink. I love those inks :) I found a multi colored ribbon in my stash :) I found a pearly paper in my stash, cut it with the sentiment dies. I love when I can "use up" the left overs from long time ago, to incorporate with the new things I got. I used the stitched edge circle die, to cut out the center. The whole front panel is elevated with foam panel underneath. This card will be waiting upon her return to US. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

"Let's get some berries!"

This week's challenge at HMFMC is "Let's get some berries". I have a friend in our House Mouse group, who's birthday is coming soon. I recently received a new stamp set from Altenew. I wanted to combine them all. :)  Here is my card. 

I wanted the strawberries to be the "present", so I "wrapped them with a ribbon"! 

Hope your week has started off well :)
