Happy Birthday to you

20:54 13 Comments
Hi Peeps..back again with a short post :) for tommorow i need to back to work...sigh....
Bring you again a simple magnolia card :) with more punch papers in here and there. Yes i am pretty addicted to it.. punched papers is not only safe cost but also easy to match with the colour theme of your card :). I guess i need to buy more puncher..hehe...another reason to shop!
SO here is the magnolia card that i meant :
Is the colour tooo glaring? pardon my camera...but i think also the weather when i took this photo which is last week weather..super hot and super sunny :).
Lately i am the fever to give a dirty look everytime i colour my magnolia.For this card..to create the darkest part of the image i use dark brown instead of  dark green or dark orange.

Would love to enter this card for
TOMIC- Birthday

Move on to today's weather! it has been raining very heavy in Singapore till some part of Singapore has flooded with water. Unfortunately some of shopping mall like children " swimming pool" to me :(.


Basement of Tanglin Mall flooded (courtesy of @onglette)

see the waterfall on the right side? it is rain water flowing from outisde inside the mall.



The camera unable to capture the heavy rain happened this morning. But this cutie birdie  can feel it.

Yes i have a visitor on my mini garden. Due to the heavy rain,this cutie birdie looked for shelter on my mini garden before my neighbour open the door and scare it away :(

This birdie has visited my house plenty times and even try to build nest on my husband orchird roots :P.My husband thought who dares to played prank on him when he spotted dirt on his plant.
But honestly i love the feeling being part of nature here :)

This is from me today
Thanks for visiting

Hi Fellow crafters..How is your days going on? Hope you are all doing great. I pretty enjoyed my 2 days leaves till i heard that i have been treated unfairly. Well...some people at work still contacted me regarding some stuffs. haiz...it think it is common in here.
Well lets not talk about work, For today, i will share a card that i created i think about 2 months ago...eiiks..yes 2 months a go and i have left it on my blog draft for that long.On this card..i was trying to learn how to colour dress by leaving the lightest colour on the middle. Well it turn out pretty good..but the card design unfavourable on my eyes.
This is the result when i force myself to finish a card.


Guys! i got to go..i am very hungry now..i want to have my breakfast now :). I will be back with more cards soon. I have 3 cards are waiting on the draft list :)
Stay tune and thanks

I am trying to come back!

11:59 18 Comments
Hi crafters, it has been exacty more than a month i am away from crafting world. You might know the reason. Yes it is about work. I quit my previous work because of i am unable to "control" my passion for crafting. So when i was at working place, i always though of crafting and surprisingly when i was at working place my creative juice flew badly! so it was really a pressure when i couldnt do anything.
As for the present job...i decided to quit crafting just because of i dont want to have the same pressure like i mentioned early on. But what can i do..i feel pity with those untouch stamps..so for that i have decided to make card as and when i want or in the mood. work most likely be my top priority..well with working i can buy more craft supplies BUT i cant use it :(. I quit crafting also because of i am feeling down when there werent good response from Singapore people for my cards that i tried to sell at flea market. So i am still stuck with a lot of cards at home..and my house just getting packed with it and craft supplies :P. it is just  so stressfull!
So i just tried to get my hands down on copic markers..and yes...my hands doesnt do well...but nevermind..i wont pressurize myself! :)
So here is the card that i created while i am on MC 2 days...while waiting for i fall asleep because of medicines..i want to spend my time with slowly creating a card...

Maybe from now on most of my cards will use magnolia stamps rather than Penny Black. Why? because of i have packed my PB stamps inside the boxes. I have to do it that way because of the Singapore weather really damage my precious Penny Black wooden stamps. I feel so sad when i saw so may yellow spots on the wooden. it looks so ugly! so i decided to pack it inside the box and put silica gel on it with hope it will absorb the humid air.

 I have to play with my puncher just because again the weather in Singapore will make all my punches turn rusty. So i really hate Singapore weather!!! :(

This is the inside card. I have just purchased the sew easy from We are memory keeper and pretty dissapointed with it.It doesnt "prick" well on to the cardstock. so i back to my old paper piercer to continue the work.However i love their floss/thread..it is so smooth !

would love to enter this card for below challenges :
Claudia and Co : Girl Bday
Bunny Xoe Crafts- Lace
Paper sundae-pop it up

I guess that is it for today...I am start feeling drowsy already :)

Thanks for stopping by and stay with me this long :)
I have another ready card to share with you soon :)

Hi Peeps...thanks for staying back :) I have a few quick things to share today :).
First will be this magnolia card..i have created this i think last month but wasnt given finishing touch which is a simple sentiment to it. Now it is completed so i guess it is a right time to upload it in the blog. I learned how to colour my magnolia in different way likes the magnolia face darker than usuall, the shade of the clothes also a little bit different-i tried to control myself not to cover everything with colour. As for bunny, i was inspired by bunny colour at my working place :).I love orange and white bunny!
Here is the close up of tilda. i choose brown colour pencils to create shade for bunny and skin.
Move on to the next topic is about my flea market yesterday.

Here is my photo with a small space for me to sell my cards...for yesterday is an easter day and most people went to services so the crowds wasnt really there and i didnt manage to sell many of my cards.So hopefully today i can make some good sales!! :)

Time to party..as i just got a delicious steal :)

08:31 13 Comments

Hi Peeps...i am so sorry for being bad blogger. MIA for half a month..ck ck ck..this is just not me! Thanks for those who still stays back to keep waiting what is up in my blog. So no more wait..i have something to share today :). I have stayed up till late in the night and rise in the early morning just want to make and share a card for you. I know you might spotted some smudge and some messiness on my colouring. That is because of i have just get a new toys to play with. I am still trying to get used to with it. A little hard to play in the beginning, but with hope it will get better soon. So what is my steal alas my new toys today!see below :

Yay..a set of Tombow Markers. I couldnt get it in Singapore so i decided to import it in :). I am delighted with the vibrant colours that been offer by this set.However, when i went their web..OMG there are more delicious colours there.I actually need more of Brown colour series as i love to colour animals like teddy,hedgie and mouse. I thought a  set of 96 is the entire collections but it isnt! :).
So you might think what makes me so eager to buy this?
 i love colours so that i will normally collect varities colouring medium and this is the only one that i dont have. Watercolour marker base. So after several thought,comparison with another brand, i decided to get this. Firstly,That is because it has more range of colours.Secondly, it will create some watercolour effect that distress ink unable to do so. Thirdly, it is cheaper when i buy a set. Fourthly, i am just in love and greedy want to have it ;P

So here is the close up of the colouring. I did a mistake on the envelope and balloon...i have actually must be very carefull when apply glitter glue to the image. It is because the colour is totally sensitive to the water so i accidentally "drag" the colour out. I love how the brown colour from the teddy. I actually only use one colour marker to create that effect.

I love this cutie and pretty seam binding that given by my friend, Viola. look at the colour..it is just match to the teddy balloons :). Got to find out how did she manage to create such a beautiful colours :)

Would love to enter this card for wee memories challenge--all things adorable

I have some other photos that i want to share...though i dont have much time to craft but who can resist shopping!
This are my shopping items for few weeks :) You will be able to see the date and will find out that i do shop weekly :P...well what can i do..Singapore is Shopping paradise. Everytime i turn my head is shopping malls!

After much desperation of using a lousy paper trimmer..i give it a try to buy other brand--martha stewart. Cute nicely but unable to cut 12 x 12 "! especially with the company tag below! huh...so i have manually cut the company tag then i can use this to cut.

Yummy treat for my doggie :) She loves cesar brand soo much :)

And my new interest! 1. Fabric 2. Nohohon 3.Orchirds

Whoops and more...4. Hello Kitty 5. Anything about purple...:)

I guess that is it for today...:)

Hi peeps!!! how are you? i am so sorry for the MIA for so long :P. i am getting busier as the days goes. I had lots of problems in the office that i had to face so that i always lost energy by the time i reach home. and guess what i have a new hobby! which is SLeep! :P. 8 hours sleep is no longer enough for me :) to keep my self healty i will have to try to rest as much as i can :) So for this reason i created a simple card that i actually coloured long long time ago before i start work :P. what i need is cut and paste :). I was playing with distress inks at that time so that i have a set of 6 different colours that i coloured DI. i love this one the most :)

If you read magnolia magazine you will know the tutorial how to make this flowers from flower punches. It is easy to do but it takes a great patience to make it :)

Close up of the magnolia :)

That is it from me :) hope i wont MIA soo long :)
Thanks to all of you
