A patch in the eye~

*you will understand what the title means at the end of the post* * grin *

When my husband got back from his recent trip to India, he bought me a gift...

Guess what? Not curry powder or spices, not a saree... but a card making kit from US sold in Delhi... LOL

It comes with a book on how to make cards (not very useful),

2 ribbons, envelopes, cardstocks, pattern paper & brads

Because of his good intentions, I thought that I would create something nice from the pack of goodies...
:) I used a really adorable stamp from Lily of the valley (it's rubber stamp) hence when i stamp, i couldn't see where i was stamping and my lil bunny ends up with a patch in the eye... oops... oh dear, now i have a patch eye bunny card :P it's not too bad right?

with lots of love,

Josie

Tis the season to be jolly~

Is only August and I'm already in the Christmas mood... I've been working on Christmas creations all weekend. There are some unfinished projects on the way...but I manage to complete one. I'm really looking forward for the holidays this year... :) Recently, I have a soft side for sweet Pink... Adore the Sugar Cookies paper from October afternoon.

Hope you like the card.

Back of the card:
I realized how the back of the card is usually ignored or forgotten so I added some touch with Threading water punch

Front of the card:

Working with circles for a sweet holiday card.

Thank you for dropping by,

A birthday card for my dearest

He's my sweetheart, my partner and my everything.
He does so much for me. I feel that I must have done something good to deserve him.

For his birthday, I made him a card. I included an apple which mimic the apple logo (he loves apple products), he loves ikea (i recycle the measuring tape from ikea) LOL... hillarious.
I circle twelve because his birthday falls on the 12th.
And he definitely, pass the "hubby exam" with flying colors. :D

he's indeed the apple of my eye ;)

Simple celebration at Yakiniku (never fails to bring him smiles)

Love, Josie

MFW-Card Style: Fun & Cute Challenge

This card is definitely different from the first two cards i did for the moxie fab world challenge... it's because it's FUN & CUTE~!

Do excuse the jagged flower that i cut with my shakey hand... *_*

Times like this a die cut tool would have been marvelous... Also special thanks to Cindy for letting me use her circle & Sharon's for her threading water punch...

Creased the leaf to give it a 3d look.

Thank you for dropping by...

Moxie Fab World - Card Style Week : Shabby Chic and Vintage Challenge

When Cindy and Sharon told me about the challenge by Moxie Fab World, i was eager to participate especially for the vintage category :)

I had loads of fun with this one because i got to play with my mum's old sewing machine... oh my, was that tough. I told my mum that if she can handle a machine like this, the computer shouldn't be much of a problem. So i told her, let's trade, i teach you how to facebook, you teach me how to use the sewing machine... :D

Also my first attempt to make a paper + lace flower... does it look ok?

I totally heart laces, have to put it in most of my card creation...
