Birthday Card

Hi!  I'm back...  so determined to make time for cardmaking and Unity FWF.  This is a card I made for my friend's daughter's birthday.  I hope to capture the feel that life is fun, and full of possibilities.

The image is from PH stamp - Let Love Fly.  I coloured the image with Copic markers and did a lot of blending with the Colourless blender to bring out the highlights.  I hope she will like this card.

Hope to visit your blogs this weekend, and be inspired.

Thanks for visiting me.

Have a great weekend!

Merry Christmas

Hello Friends!  So glad to be back after a few weeks off.  It has been a really busy time :)  Today's Inspired Stamps post is on Christmas.  I used the HLO:Girl With Present and the Sentiment from the Christmas Poinsettia set.

Instead of colouring her outfit, I did some paper piecing, and added shadows with Copic Markers.  Sorry for the photo quality, I couldn't get a good photo late at night.

Every Breath...

Hi!  Last week, at work, we moved office, and I wanted a little something on my desk so I could look at it whenever the day gets stressful or when things don't always go right.

 

I coloured the PH image in my favourite shade of blue, and framed it.  Love the sentiment too.  Every breath is a gift, and life must be spent wisely. I just have to remind myself that despite all the craziness in my life right now, I have a choice to behave and react in a positive manner.  It's not easy, but hopefully, I can do my part to make things better where God has placed me.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend, and I am so thankful for all your encouraging comments - it means the world to me. 

Take care!

Inspired Stamps - HLO Character and Scripture

Hi!  Today I have an Inspired Stamps card to share which uses the HLO Winter Boy and scripture from Psalms 55.  The weather has been rather cold this week, and work has been crazy, so perhaps this is a card for myself :)

TSB Challenge #65 - Colour Challenge

A new challenge starts today at The Stamping Boutique - it's challenge #65 based on the colours of the picture above.  I'm not very good with colour challenges, but that's what a challenge is all about, isn't it?  Even if, it's outside our comfort zone.  So, here's my card:

I used another of Tracey's new Christmas images, the cute Christmas Mouse.   I hope you'll play along, and you can find all the details here.

Have a great week!

My thoughts are with You

How was your week?  I had such a busy time at work and I'm so ready for the weekend!  There are so many friends on my mind lately, and I wish I have more time to sit down and write them a card.  I should get started this weekend :)

This card was the result of my trying to find different colour combos to see if they work.  What do you think?  Maybe I'm not thinking nor seeing straight after a long day at work :) It's past midnight here and I'm still working away and taking short breaks to finish up the card and write this post. Such is life for now.

The Unity stamp sets used are Tulips and Daisies and Face the Sunshine (sentiment).

Thank you for visiting me, and wishing you a great weekend!

Inspired Stamps - Christmas Card

Wow, I can't believe we're already halfway through September.  Perhaps it's time to start making the Christmas cards! If you are thinking along the same line, please join us today at Inspired Stamps, because we are showcasing Christmas Cards.

I challenged myself to use a non-Christmas stamp on my card.  The stamped image is HLO:Girl Praying and the sentiment from Vintage Christmas.  I did some paper piecing and colouring on the HLO character and assembled the card.  Tell me what you think :)
