Can I make it on time for Christmas?

Seems like recently I've been playing the missing game quite often. My sincere apologies. I've been away to attend my sister's graduation in Australia. We had a swell time. It was so awesome that I think I lost track of time... I can't believe it's christmas already?

So lil time, so many things to do, so many cards to send out, gosh...I might have to resort to e-cards :S I've been a bad blogger and a bad friend... still hope I'm able to send out my Christmas cards on time to all my friends... guess I'll have to burn midnight oil tonight then. If my cards don't reach on time I would like to wish all my Friends who are celebrating this holiday season " HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Here are some cards I did that I would like to share...

In a Christmas Mood!

November it's here already?! I really can't believe how time flies... I'm here in my crafting space listening to Christmas songs from YouTube while crafting. Although usually I prefer the silence when crafting, I'm so much in the Christmas mood I can't help it... :)

Here's a Christmas Tree Card I created :

Made some ornaments with buttons

Recipe for the card:Patterned Paper: Cosmo CricketStamps : 4Klear Stamping
Self made button ornamentsTools : Fiskars Threading Water Punch

Also Hubby and I stopped by Rasa Sayang hotel, where IWA is having a charity bazaar.
Of course, my first stop was Smidapaper's stall :) So many christmas goodies were featured, which got me into the Christmas mood right away...

Hubby got to play with Sizzix die cut tool...hope this will convince him to get me one *wink*

Last but not least, a group photo with the pretties, Sheila & Cindy :)

Nuts about you! (Basic Grey Edition)

This time around I would like to introduce to you a card I created with basic grey items.

I actually bought the whole element sticker paper "green at heart" from Basic grey because of the cute beaver or squirrel... reminds me of my hamster...

I miss my little bebe alot...

Smida Pink Masculine Paper's Card Challenge

Ah choo! Oh my gosh, it's so dusty in here... ahh... my sanctuary. It feels good to be back in my space again. I truly apologize for my absence...

My comeback card is for Smidapaper's Pink Masculine card challenge.
I had my daddy in mind when i made this card... how he's always there as our home handy man... my turn to be handy... made smudges on the sides and on the embellishments as that's represents me being clumsy at handy work :)

The recipe to my card :

Pattered Paper : My Mind's Eye Alphabet soup from Studio calico's Kit

Card Stock : Bazzil Basics, Antalis white card stock

Stamps : Hero Arts (stamped with StazOn Timber Brown)

Embellishments :

"DAD" - painted foam thickers Dear lizzy + American Crafts

1 scrapped corrugated cardboard

3 brads from Making memories

1 thread

1 Moonlight white ink to ink the sides of the card

Tools:

Fiskar's Threading Water Punch (cut to form the fence)

A colored wish

Just a quick share... a card I made a while ago, with Lily of the Valley stamps. I just adore the cute bears...
It's a quick and simple card. I whipped up this card in 10 mins, did some coloring with color pencils (*feels like a kid again) and added some glitters to the flowers...

Case Study : 7th Challenge

I've been a bad blogger lately... So sorry for being missing for so long. I had so many weddings to shoot for the month of Sept & Oct... In fact, Pixous is fully booked till Nov...

Last Sunday, I had the chance to make a card... A card for My Parents who's celebrating their anniversary end of this month. Surprised my mum with a bouquet of flowers and this card... :D

Also, this card is for the 7th Case study challenge by Mariana Grigsby. Here's the case :

Here's my take :

I distressed the center of the butterfly with some Broken China distress ink to give it the blue-ish look
I love how green, pink & blue blend so well together.

The recipe to my card :

Pattered Paper : Girls Paperie (love it so much) - Distressed with Tea DYe & Tattered rose ink.

Card Stock : Bazzil Kraft, Translucent Green Paper (Antalis)

Stamps : Hero Arts Everyday Sayings (stamped with StazOn Timber Brown)

Embellishments :

1 punched Monarch butterfly (distressed/tinted with Broken China)

Laces distressed with tea dye ink.

Pearls

Tools:

Martha Stewarts Large Monarch Butterfly punch

Thanks for dropping by...

Another baby card!

This card is for a friend who recently became a father to a baby boy... another September baby... ^_^ like me.

I paper-pieced a blue bib, simple bow and lace on the card... which goes so well with the Lush papers from My mind's eye. Walnut cream cardstock is so easy to use, thanks to Sheila (Smida Paper) for recommending.

Simple and cute take... :)

Also on the side note, SELAMAT HARI RAYA to all my muslim friends and readers who will be celebrating. Those who are traveling, drive home safe... and happy holidays.

Lots of love,
Josie

What's in Your Stockings?

I remember how I used to believe in Santa Claus... Every Christmas eve, I would place my socks at my window and I would wake up to presents on Christmas mornings. I missed those days...

It was only when my Aunt migrated to the United States, I realized that Santa was actually my Aunt... So since, there were no more presents when I hang my socks :) LOL

The Recipe:

Pattern paper : Cosmo Cricket (Early Bird), My Mind's Eye (Cute, Lush)
