Moving Again!

I'm moving this Saturday. I'm busy packing, baby sitting, change two babies' diapers and home schooling. Few! Busy, busy week.

We're moving into a three bedroom basement suite just a block away. Very nice place except the kitchen. It is very small. I mean very small as to when I wash dishes, no one can get to the cupboards unless I move out of the way. It is just weird designing. I'm going to miss the corner lot house. :( I'm spoil.

Thanks for visiting.

Silly Kids

Everytime I cut my stamps the kids would take the extra rubbers to play with. They usually stick them all over their arms. This time they stuck them to their faces. This was what they came up with.

Have fun looking.

Your Opinion Please?

I made two cards almost the same and I would like to know which one is better. One have a square cs behind the scalloped flower and the other have a circle behind it. I used the In The Spotlight stamp set and Print Pattern for the background. The sentiment was from Baroque Motifs set. I'm going to change the sentiment to "Thank You." I'm behind on thank you cards.



Card #1

Card #2

Thank you for looking.

Happy Stamping!

Baby Shower Gift

Made these note cards to go in the memory can for a baby shower on Saturday. I even stamped the envelopes. I normally don't stamp envelopes. It is not that I'm lazy I just forget all the time so I'm proud of myself for remembering it this time. lol
I didn't stamp any sentiment. I left them blank so the lady can use them as thank you cards or for other baby shower cards.


Materials Used:
Stamp-Bundle of Joy
Papers-pixie pink, basic black and whisper white
Inks-basic black and rose red
Accessories-scallope punch, 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punch, marker and taffeta ribbon

Stamping On Tile

First try on these tiles. They are fun to make.
I stamped with Stayon ink and then coloured it in with pastels. After I sealed it with Krylon sealer (you can use hairspray too) for protection from usage. Then I put 4 rubber stoppers in the back. They make cool gifts.






Happy Stamping!

A fellow demonstrator taught me how to make this box. You can put small things in it and give it as gifts. The recipient can empty what is inside before hanging it on the tree. Makes a really nice tree ornament. I don't have the string on mine for hanging. Just pock two holes on the narrow back panel and put a ribbon through it. The new elastic cord in the new Holiday mini catalogue will work well with it too.

Christmas Card

My first Christmas card of the year. I love Christmas. My first Christmas in Vancouver was in 1980. It was a very long time ago and I loved it very much. I remembered I received lots of gifts for the very first time. We never had that in my home country, Vietnam. We were lucky if we even have food to eat let alone gifts. So that year was very special to me. Now I get to celebrate Christmas with my DH and three beautiful children. God is good to us.


Anyways, back to the card. Not so triditional colour of red and green. The card base is River Rock cardstock with Chocolate Chip cs for matting. I used the new 1st level hostess set Sidekick Sayings and 2nd level hostess set In the Spotlight. The double stitch ribbons are very nice. I love ribbons and use them a lot. The flower was punched out using the five petal flower punch, put a brad through it then mounted on with dimensional.


Happy Stamping!

Workshop Card


I made this card last month at a workshop for a hostess. She likes simple cards so this was what I came up with. I give everything I demo that night to the hostess.

Materials Used:
Stamp-Artfully Asian
Papers-whisper white and river rock
Inks-river rock and wild wasabi
Accessories-twill tape and brads
