Hi everyone! ;)

I've decided to use the sketch from Crafting Life's Pieces to do my card today. Here's the sketch:

Simon Says Stamp Challenge... Anything but a card

Hi everyone,

It's Monday, a brand new start to a new week.. How's everyone's weekend? I decided to make a journal book for myself so that I can jot down any ideas that I had on the go. My first time trying out bookbinding, and I dare say it's looked more difficult that it looked. I was supposed to finish by the weekend, however it took me much longer than expected as my thread tore which subsequently tore my pages.. (sigh talk about clumsiness & waste of resources).

Here's the final product, though I think I should be able to make a better one next time haha!

1 of a kind

Hello everyone,

Summer is here.. how's everyone enjoying the summer? Summer is full of bright yellow sun and the grasses look even greener before due to the bright sun! For this girl who is living in a country that is perpetually having summer most of the time, summer is probably not so much fun for me. It is so hot these days, so hard to concentrate on my work, and that results in a lag of mojo for me as well. Haha, but for kids who are for summer, my local swimming pool is filled with the many kids and their parents, enjoying a lovely day in the cold water. =)

Anyway, my card for today is based on a sketch by A Gem of a Challenge. Here's the sketch:

*courtesy from A Gem of a Challenge

And this is my interpretation for the sketch: A cherry girl full of sunshine (slightly different feel from my previous one)

Supplies used:

Papers: Glitz Design- Dance in Sunshine Polka, Flair Design - Summer Daze Collection, Dark Brown CS

Stamp: Hero Art Girl Holding Flower, Hero Art sentiments - 1 of a Kind

Punch: EK Success small and big Butterfly, Daisy 

Others: Black Gems
