Show & Tell

I've made some crafts & cards after the Raya holidays last month. It's time to show them off..hehe! And each of them has a little story to tell. Here they are...

.

First off is a frame I decorated as a birthday gift to my friend Jo. I stamped the words 'Dance', 'Sing', Love', 'Live'...and then handwritten the words below it. Was a bit nervous while writing them down...takut salah spelling, hehe. I decorated it with some pink lace, fabric flowers & acrylics. Love it! :) And I had that feeling again...of having second thoughts to give it away..haha.

Next is my Ice-cream card, which I made for LLC's challenge with 'Food' as the week's theme. I intended to make a cupcake but look what came out from the craft oven....ice-cream! Haha. I used felt & corrugated paper for my ice-cream & a red button to top it off. I actually stamped 'Happy Birthday' at the bottom right of the card...but it bled & got all smudged up. Aiya. The 'birthday' didn't look that happy at all. So what I did was write "Happy Birthday" and paste it onto the stamped image. Tadaa...problem solved. ;)

Lastly, is LLC's this week's challenge. The theme was 'Indian' with henna designs! An idea given by Jo. The first thing that came to my mind was saree! But decided to scrap off the idea...seems a bit difficult. I ended up drawing an elephant (as they are considered very important to the Indian culture, so it fits the Indian theme...i think) & doodled some henna like designs on it. Do you think the look henna-ish? ;)

So there....a lil 'show & tell' session from my craft world. Time to head back home. Enjoy your weekend everyone! Til then, God bless! :)

Just crafts

Here are some of my crafty updates!

I decorated a photo frame for my mum as her birthday gift. Her birthday falls on 10th August. Instead of putting a photo in it, I typed out a poem for her. Adorned with flowers, buttons, ribbons and a strand of pink pearls. Simply lovely. :) And oh, she loved it!

Next is LLC's challenge to make a Hari Raya card...since Raya is just around the corner...one more week...another holiday..yay yay! I made an untypical (is there such word?) Raya card. Well, the only typical thing about this card is that it's grrrr...een in colour... I think I'll make some more & give 'em to my friends & colleagues. :)

Last week, LLC's challenge was to make a card for kids, given by Sue! I guess, knowing that hers is on the way, it gave her that inspiration for the challenge...hehe! I can't wait! :D Two words that came to my mind when Sue told me about the challenge was 'colourful' & 'fun'! So I came up with a beary colourful & beary fun one. Haha! ;p This is it....

That's all from me! Happy weekend all! ;)
