CK magazine winner!!!

Last week, me checked out Piradee's blog and found that she's having a giveaway for CK magazine (Scrapbooking with Fabric and Notions). And also several other designers for the magazine also had this giveaway. Me left a comment at each of the designer's blogs without expecting to win anything.

But to my biggest surprise, I won from the blog of Kim Watson. WOW!!! So happy!!! Thank God for everything!!! DO check out Kim Watson's blog. She's very talented. Love how she incorporate so much colors and details into her layouts without cluttering.

Here's the picture of the magazine me won:

Victoria Garden Cameo cards

Recently I bought a set of stamps, Cling Jumbo Cameo Frame by Stampendous. Simply in love with this stamp. And I made 2 cards using the cameo stamp and Echo Park "Victoria Garden" papers. I stamped and embossed the cameo image.

 "Be mine" cameo card



"With all my love, sweet heart" card


The tag can be removed and used as a bookmark.


Below is what it looks like when I remove the tag:

Sand Castle

Sun, Sand, Sea = Fun!!!

My kids love to build sand castles. Well, I guess all kids do.. Ha ha.. This picture was taken at East Coast Park a few years back. Its the Apple Tree (playgroup) gang gathering. Love how my kids play!! My gal loves making sand castle while my boy loves playing with seawater. He loves to scoop up the water into the pail and pouring into the sand (into the "lake" around the castle). Hmm... funny how come the water level in the "lake" never rises..ha ha..Pure innocence..

Created this layout using the sketch and color palette from The Color Room

A simple, sweet and fun layout. Used distressed stains to create the 3 background colors:



Here, me embossed half the chipboard alphas to create the sand look. Stamped, colored, cut out and layered the castle:


Drew the sun and stamped the clouds, cut out and distressed:


Here's the sketch and color palette:

LIfe....

Life is precious... Should always treasure your loved ones.... N make up with your foes...(if any).... Cos life is so fragile...

But God is good. His mercies endure forever...

Hmm... seems quite sentimental...

Anyway, just got the news last night that Aunt Shirley had gone home to the Lord. She never woke up from the coma. God has his own timing who and when to take home... So me feel comforted that at least she didn't have to suffer.

Just want to end that God is a great comforter.. Pray that He will comfort all the family members and friends of Aunt Shirley. God bless!
