I still remember when I was in University a friend of mine reminded me how much I love to give cards to my friends on their birthday. Personally I appreciate it when friends and family give me cards alone or along with a present on special occasions. I can look back many years later and feel how much they care about me even when the present is no longer to be found. So if you want to share your creations just put up a link on the comment or upload your creation on the site!

For World Card Making Day, I made some cards for those I care about. What more excuse do you need to brighten the day of your loved ones?

Friends

This is another posting of my recent layout of me and my friends. Living in US makes me realize how much I miss my friends from Singapore and Malaysia. I remember those days and nights where we party and chat about girl stuff. Those endless conversations...The last time I saw them (Grace, Kacte and Jann) was in April this year; however it is brief meet up as everyone is getting more busy with their own work and life.

I truly miss those days. Nevertheless, I am waiting for the time of my return and hope things will not be too different then....

Handmade cards for your lo♥e ones

Hi guys,

For fun I prepared some effortless homemade cards last week knowing that many festive occasions are coming up such as Halloween and Christmas! Not to mention birthdays....I know, better to be early than get cought up doing last minute work!

(p/s: the birdie is cute!)

These two cards are made from the same 12 x 12 S.E.I. Apricot cardstock. I cut it into half and use some 6 x 6 patterned papers as the cover. Oh! And ribbon is a must to add some sophistication to the layout!
