Let's play with chopsticks....

I was asked to make something for the upcoming Teacher's Day which is just around the corner. My daughter requested that it should not be too "heavy"...something simple but nice. She came back from school early one day and I managed to get the creative juice flow again. I played with chopsticks and this is what I made... 

and another one...

I blurred the edge to give it a softer look...

a little close up...

I played with my new butterfly puncher

Flowers are from Petaloo & Prima

Blings from Zva

Own Lace

Chopsticks for added dimensions

These are slightly bigger than a normal card. The messages from the students will go right behind. She likes it and of course my little man wants it for his teachers too... He said,"take your time, you still have more days to go." hmm...what can I say, I can only sigh....lol. 

So how have you been doing? I have missed out a lot on challenges especially my favorite and most inspiring blog - Once Upon A Sketch. Creative Scrappers is also one of them. Not forgetting Prima. I am still trying to adjust my time..(time management) so that I can put aside some hours in a day for myself to scrap, to release my stress and tension. I'm trying, please bear with me, and I thank my followers for your understanding and patience. I will try to update my blog as often as I can..I promise.. 

I've been wanting to go to our LSS to grab some yummy goodies..I hope I can make a trip to town today.

There's a lot of new arrivals and I'm dying to get them. Let's see if it can be accomplished...

In the meantime..

Hope you have a great day ahed

Happy Scrapping

Happy Birthday Singapore!

Yesterday was our 46th National Day Celebration, which means that it was a Public Holiday and all was at home. I took the opportunity to do some scrapping even though I was dead tired from doing all the household chores. I came up with this little card and really love the colors here...

It's a Thank You card..

it says.....

The little things you do

mean so much to me...

THANK YOU

And I also managed to almost complete this altered art...

here's a sneak....

Will need to do the final touch up and it's done...

Flowers by Petaloo

Hi all....

I'm still here and still alive...How have you been doing? My sincere apology for the long disappearance..as I have mentioned before, my mil is quite sick and has been in and out of the hospital and infact she was admitted again last week and was only discharged over the weekend. She is now putting up with me. I am taking care of her 24/7 and hope I can make her as comfortable as I could. I'm helpless at times, but I'm sure she understands. She's still aware of her surroundings, it's just that she can't communicate and has lost her appetite to eat. Like I said, I'm trying to make her as comfortable as possible and hope that will relieve her from any discomforts she has...

Anyways, taking care of her is now my top priority, I have to slow down on my scrapping and infact I have been slowing down a lot since she has been sick. I hope you understand now the reason of my disappearing. Honestly, I miss my hobby, but situation is such that I have to constantly keep an eye on her and will have to neglect my passion for a while. I will still be scrapping but will be much lesser at the moment. Infact, as I am blogging away now, she is actually sleeping, let's see if I can get something done in a jiffy...

Take care friends

Love Always

A little birdie.....
told me you're special....

I'm really loving this altered block I did not long ago. I 'm just going to keep it for myself for now but I think eventually this will be a gift to someone.

Here it is...

Raw and naked...lol

Some of the supplies I've used....

And finally the masterpiece...

I told ya' i'm really loving this a lot at the moment.. 

I will be doing another altered block sometime soon :)

I apologize for not updating my blog as often as I should...My MIL is still in the hospital and time is very limited for me to do anything even though I'm dying to do so,yet alone sitting and updating my cyber world. I have tried creating something at night after the visit, but my body and mind just cannot function and let the creative juice flow. It just shut down...Sigh

Thank you for visiting my blog

Stay healthy always

Hope to be back again soon

Love

Better Late Than Never...
This is the Once Upon a Sketch Challenge for 1st July. Yup...I know I'm kind of late but than again, it's better late than never...lol
Here's the beautiful sketch by the talented founder of OUAS, Nadia Canizzo...

You are left with just slightly more than a day to join in the challenge, but if you are running out of time, please do hop over to their site and see all their breathtaking take on this sketch. Trust me, you will be inspired. OUAS Design Team did marvelous job on this, and as always they are so so inspiring.  Ok on that note...here's my take on this...

They required that you have to identify the person in the photo and write something about them, and it can be something about their personality, character, or a short write up about two sentences long....

I have chosen my sister...Sheinaz.

She's my sister my buddy

She is super sensitive but great at heart.

She's my shoulder to cry on.

You can depend on her.

She's wonderful.

A little close up...

I'm really loving the little birdie there and those rose buds...

Well that's all I have for now...

Will wait for their next sketch reveal coming up on the 15th real soon.

Till than...

Take Care

Good Morning Scrappy friends...

how have you been? Hope you are doing just great and have had a great weekend... It's already July and time is really flying fast.  There's so many challenges in store and I hope to get my hands on them soon.. I've been rather busy lately and have not been scrapping much for almost a week already. Firstly I think I'm on a emotional ride given the problem that I'm having right now. It's very difficult but I have to face it and I cannot give up. I pray each night that God give me the strength to face the challenges that he has set for me. I read a book and it said :

Ensename: which means Show Me in Spanish

Ensename. Show me. A prayer to the Goddess, to the Universal Mother, to the Great Intelligence (whatever you called Him) 

"Show me what I need to learn. 

Show me what I need to let go of.

Show me the path to take.

Show me whatever you want to show me.

Show me how I can serve.

Show me new ways to love.

Show me what I am meant to do."

Ask for guidance, ask for signs, ask for direction, and it will come.....

Well so much of me hoping for here..and on the other hand, another reason I'm sort of MIA is because my MIL is in the hospital. She had a stroke last week and was quite in a terrible state. I've been visiting her everyday since she was admitted. Thank God she managed to pull through and is much better today and it did not caused her any physical damage. However, because of the severe stroke she had, she has lost her speech. Doctor said there is no guarantee if she will ever get back her voice given her age and the clot in her brain. She is 88 years old. Anyways, I hope things will all fall back in place soon..

Let's hope and pray... Sorry for the non-scrappy related bits up here.

Sometime back I did this and have not been posting it...

This is a very simple card I made using the La Blanche silicon stamp...

I stamped and colored it...

I kind of like this stamp because not much pressure is required 

when stamping and the image is very detailed...

Here it is....

that's all for now

I'm leaving you with love and hope that you'll have a beautiful day ahead

Love
