red envelope

I know I shouldn't be doing this...post several items right after one another. But sometimes I'm too lazy to blog everything..So whenever I'm in the mood, I post everything I did in the past...=)

So, these envelopes I created for my cousin's wedding. In Chinese tradition, when there's a wedding, there's usually this tea-ceremony. The couple serves tea (in fancy tea-set) to the elders from both families, and the elders give back jewelry or money in red envelopes as a sign of blessings.

My mom...being as she is refused to use regular envelopes and asked me to make one :)

Pardon the simplicities....but I did this in less than an hour, and I had to work with certain limitation of Chinese tradition *excuses....excuses...*

Hope you enjoy it =)

card with matching envelope

I made this card for the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays, card with matching envelope. Never actually made a card with a plain white background, because for me, there must be no mistakes on whites...and me being the careless one, it shows....
So..here it is =)

The card on itself...

The envelope....

supplies : ferris wheel stamp (Lawn Fawn), sentiment (Lawn Fawn), love bulb stamp(Paper Smooches), filmstrip stamp (Technique Tuesday), sew easy - heart, ink (red-Distress Ink, green-SEI)

Hope you all enjoy it =)

Sitting pretty in red

This time I decided to double-take challenges...=)
The first one is from Farm Fresh Challenge. The task is to create a card with emboss-anythings technique.

The second one is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The task is to create a card based on this sketch.......

And here's my answer to both tasks...

 Enjoy and be inspired ;D

Re-post: my take on Tuesday Trigger

I'm so in love with this picture found in Moxie Fab World.

The color scheme is just so wow...=) It reminded me so much of the fall season, when the leaves change colors...it's just lovely. It reminds you to be thankful...

With that idea, I made this layout....

And here's some close-ups....

My self-made paper flower ;D

Enjoy and be inspired :D
