Where the name came from

Leave a comment

Read this post this morning from another blog. Love the picture there:

It really puts a smile on my face seeing this picture, it also reminds that this is how my son’s name came about. I adore Calvin and Hope that time, so I name after that little boy and hopefully my son also gets a bit of his characters, ha! True enough, he is funny, he loves to make his little brother laugh and he is sure curious, however he doesn’t have a tiger with him all the time. Probably is there, but I couldn’t see it.

Well, the read is actually started with the Art Journal thing, which I’ve no clue about and all the while I thought about my friend who has studied interior design in art school before, so maybe she’ll be interested and re-live her artsy self again, ‘cos she is not in children clothing and supply job. Well, Spidy, this post is for you.

Happy Monday to you all.

Valentine’s Cards

3 Comments

As promised, here are the only 6 cards that I’ve made for Valentine’s Day, given to some single ladies in my office, hope they have created some happy mood.

They are all being inspired by Making Memories Slice’s project card. I’ve mimic the size and also the idea from the love layout.

Am using American Craft PP and ribbon, Echo Park – Everybody loves Christmas PP, MM Design shop love struck stickers.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for all your blog love.

Sketchy Thursday – March DT

8 Comments
I thought I was late again for Sketchy Thursday challenge, but it turns out that the due date is 19th Feb! Yes~~!
So, here is the sketch for March DT member challenge:

Here is my take with some distressing, inking and layering:

I love this photo of DS, I purposely shot half of his face and had him laughing in front of the camera to show his growing front teeth.

Everything is from the Scrapbook Daisies kit.

Happy Friday and wishing you a great weekend ahead.

Have you prepared for Valentine’s Day yet? Have you made any cards? I did! Will share about this later.

Simply Perfect

Leave a comment

Yup, these two are just too cute to miss (in these photos only LOL).

Those Simply Perfect papers are really hard to use, they are too pretty by themselves! I felt guilty to cover them up actually and each paper has glitters on them, breath taking to just look at them, so how can I just cut them up or cover them?

This paper that I chose to use is with a bird on the side, so I can still put my photos in the center and cover up those wordings which I was thinking if I should cut a hole in the middle so that I can use that PP again for cards maybe.

I used it anyway, and along the way I kept on telling myself it will be even prettier with my photos and memories on it. Everything is from the Scrapbook Daisies kit except the black Making Memories journal pad.

Happy Tuesday! And thanks in advance for all your blog love!
