    Hey peeps :)

    I'm uploading another greeting card and this is more inspired by the photo from Inkspirational challenge.

    I'm using black paper card and buttons for embellishment. I arranged the buttons into a Cassiopeia constellation which symbolised the beauty of they sky (for me it means the beauty of the person who receives this card) :) 

    Then I added a simple hand written words "You are a Star" using a white gel pen. Lastly I created a simple background with only small dots to represents the stars and so the card will not look plain as well.

    It's very simple and quick card that you can make at home too.


    This is my entry for below challenges:

    #231 Photo Inspiration Challenge - Inkspirational challenge
    Create your own background - The Sisterhood of Crafters
    #36 Anything Goes - The Creative Crafters


    Thank you. Take Care and Stay Healthy! :)

    Hello.. I'm here again. Today I'm going to upload my handmade greeting card using simple style and 3 pcs of pistachio shells :)

    Yes I do keep some trashes :D I just feel like there's something I can do with them and then they will be seating in my cupboard for years waiting to be used :P hahahah..


    a closer look

    First, I sprayed the shells with white color sprayer then I just make simple doodles on it using permanent marker. I put a simple stamp "hello" in the middle and glued the shells using wood glue. That's it!

    So, here's my new greeting card with my favourite clean and simple style. I use leaves wooden embellishment which inspired by plants in the photo of the card concept challenge.

    Hello all,

    It's a bit late to say Happy New Year 2018 but better late than never, right? hehe.. 


    I don't make any resolutions this year (and never made any last year :P). I only have a big "dream book" which is written in my mind and keep it in my heart. The list is getting longer every year and all I must do is to try my best to make my "dreams" lists come true :)  
    One thing that I really hope for my blog this year is I will be more active to write and share more creations, stories, video tutorials et cetera, so my blog contents useful information and inspirations for you :) Wish me luck! :D

    Yes, we all know that life can be tough. It is also not always as good as we expected to and that dreams don't always come true but it's best to just do what we have to do, go with the flow (as my friend said) and embrace everything that happens whether they're good or bad. 

    Just remember to be optimistic and have faith that no matter what will happen this year, it will lead you closer to reach your goals or dreams.

    So Happy New Year once again dear friends, I hope that you'll always be blessed with prosperity, happiness and love! 😘😘
