A birthday card for my hubby...combined with some challenges, of course!

Wonderful stamp Mac Beth from Sugar Nellie together with paper from Graphic 45.

The Scrapping Show case Success!

Wow, that was fun, lots of people, celebrities,the picture showing me helping former ex PM wife making a card. The show case was to promote scrapbooking to Malaysia, and I think we actually manage to find a lot of new scrappers. 

We had a beautiful exhibition, showing all the DTs works, LOs, Minibooks, albums , you name it. This is another card I had made for the show

Scrapbooking Showcase in Kuala Lumpur

Hi all, on my way to take part at the first Scrapbooking show case here in Kuala Lumpur. Sharon at Scrappingville has put this together. I am one of the DTs (Card section), even if I am a little bit nervous this is going to be real fun! It's a make and take, people get to try out scrapbooking at different stations, all for free! This is one of the card I will be showing

My first Gorjuss!

I have been nuts lately ordering soooo many new stamps, so easy on internet! I used my first Gorjuss, so great to colour, stamp on this one for a challenge over at  Sketch Saturday 52. The paper is from Dove of the East called Paris Vintage, beautiful!

Flowers, Lace and Pearls

Sweet sweet sugar, or? Flowers, Lace and Pearls is the theme for Charisma Cardz challenge this week. So here we are with a Magnolia stamp coloured with copics! Real pearls, not the blue ones:-) and some lovely papers!

I recevied another reward (however I think it actually came back to me:-) from Pinky, Thank you so much! I am not sending this one on.

Mimosa heart girl!

I just love these stamps, Mimosa from Bildmalarna. I bought this beautiful paper from Cosmo Cricket, 2 sided, so I used it as my base for the card. The sketch is from Paper Take weekly challenge no 15 and A spoon full of sugar is celebrating their 1 year anniversary as a blog challenge! Happy Birthday!

Pink, Green and Brown

When you have a beautiful pattern paper (K&Company), you do not need to add much, or? On this card I just added a ribbon with a little butterfly and my Mimosa image, the dots are Liquid Pearls! This card is for Stamptacular Sunday challenge no 7, Pink, Green and Brown!

I am back in in my craft corner, which is now cleaned and ready to rock and roll! I wanted to make a more romantic and simple card after all the distress classes. At Colour Create the challenge was to follow these wonderful colours (by Kim).

Sky blue, tan and ecru, wonderful colours together, don't you think? So I dressed Tilda in those and I was lucky because my favourite embellishment, the butterfly, had the right colour too!

Art Retreat with Rachel Greig

2 days, 6 classes, a lot of new knowledge, new stamps and lot of fun. It was an honour to meet Rachel, owner of Darkroom (click to visit), who is an amazing artist from Australia! Her stamps and papers, that comes from her own photographs, are absolutely stunning. We made cards, minibooks and LOs using Darkroom stamps and papers, like the tulip paper above! Thank you Val at Scrap-n-Crop to invite Rachel, we had so much fun.

Roses are forever!

Hi, today I did everything backwards! I painted this Magnolia stamp yesterday, and because I wanted to share a card with you today, I made the card, then I went to find a challenge to join! I found Pink Elephant, who has a colourful picture as your guidline. So here it is! 

Now I am off for a two day workshop with Rachel Greig, owner of Darkroom. We will have 4 classes making albums and other stuff! So I see you on Sunday!

A little bird told me...

I have no idea why I decided on a autumn/fall like card?? But here I am in Malaysia, 35C and thinking of colder weather! A card made for the Stamptacular Sunday challenge 6, a lovely sketch. I used papers I got from my latest Freehandscrap kit and lovely Tilda dressed in Copics autumn/fall colours!

Tildas sweet moments!

Another sweet card with sweet little Tilda! Over at Paper Take Weekly challenge they want us to use an animal, teddy bear, ok I know I love elephants, next time! I used a great sketch from Stamp with fun challenge 5! The paper is a two sides from Sassafrass, they are so versatile! 

I am also working hard with a card collection for Scrappingville, who is a scrapbooking store here in Kuala Lumpur, they are having a showcase within two weeks time and I am one of the DTs. Believe me when I say, those cards are totally different style! I'll show you later! Thanks for visiting!

Joy

My favourite colour combo Blue and Green, was this weeks challenge at Colour Create, which I combined with a sketch from Sketch Saturday's challenge. Gosh, there are so many challenges out there and they keep popping up! Good or bad, have no idea, but fun it is! I used lovely paper from Basic Grey and my Mimosa stamp coloured with Copics for this card!

I love nice people!

Yes I do, and one is Sari (thank you) who sent me an envelope filled with flowers, pearl ribbon and charms, which you can see on this card. I made this card for Beary Box card challenge 25, a sketch! Papers are from My Minds Eye, scalloped edge with Martha Stewart punch. Lovely stamp from Magnolia and coloured, yapp, with Copics.

You touch my heart!

I want to give this card to all my readers who writes all the kind comments on my blog. They warm my heart! I am also giving away some blogcandy, see below, just to say I am grateful for my blogging friends! Thanks!

This was fun making a card in a different size, 4x8" for this weeks challenge at Stamp with fun! I bought this stamp a while ago, cheap, have no idea who made it, but it's really cute. Coloured of course with Copics, this time I stamped on Manga/Copic paper, very thin!The pattern paper is from Basic Grey. I received new Cuttlebugs' embossing borders which I used at the top and bottom. Some stickles, flowers and Voila!

Dream!

Dream, like Tilda does here surronding by papers from DCWV, from where I cut out the letters. The sketch is from Papertake weekly challenge, great sketch which I minimized a bit with help of the ribbon! I know, I am a rebel! 

Happy mothers day!

I salute all mothers (including myself) for all their hard work, it's not easy to be a mother but it's worth every single moment! This card is a combo 2 challenges in one! At Colour Create you have to use Red, Cream and Chocolate and at Stamptacular they are celebrating "Mums, the word!"

My little Mimosa painted with Copics is posing for this card, together with papers from Basic Grey and Graphic45. I have found a goldmine here in Kuala Lumpur, a store that sells flowers, ribbons, decorations of all kind, and there I found the flowers and the butterfly.

Edwin!

A marine theme take on Just Magnolias challenge 3, with Edwin ready to go sailing! Painted with the Copics and nothing more to add! Blue and white are really my favourite colours, reminds me of the sea! I love the sea!

Mimosa!

Today I almost made a Swedish card, not so much the colours but the wonderful papers are Swedish - Maja Design and the stamp, Mimosa is from Bildmalarna! However in this global world I followed a sketch from Friday Sketchers challenge no 50 and Charisma Cardz challenge - Thank you!
