City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 408 ~ Birthday Post, special guest WEN!

Week three of our birthday celebration at...

City Crafter Challenge Blog

We invited designers used to designed for us this month, this week, we are having WEN as our special guest! Hop over to City Crafter Challenge Blog to see what WEN have for you.

My take on WEN's card.......

I used Wen's layout for this card, in fact, I used most of the elements she had on her card, like the butterflies.....

the postage stamp....

both of the flowers....

when I first started making cards, I do a lot of shabby vintage style with lots of layers, but I have been making more clean and simple, one layer card these days, this one kind of bring back memories.....

products used on this projects are -

Patterned paper - G45

leave die - My Favorite Thing

Flower stamped on kraft paper - Uniko

We have a prize package for this week's winner too...

I have the pleasure to met WEN in person in Amsterdam 2 years ago...

we had breakfast, exchanged gifts, and walked the city all day, it was a fun day, thank you WEN!!!

This week is a crazy week for me, is the once a year where I help out my friend at the NAB convention, plus my regular teaching, so I am working literally from 8 AM and only get home at 8 PM, long day, so you won't see me much here! : )

For the month of April, CCCB is doing our tradition challenge CASE ME IF YOU CAN, pop over to City Crafter Challenge Blog to check out the card Ros made for us....

and this is my take.....

I picked up the watercolor element on that beautiful card of Ros..... and the colors too.

since I am already there, I might as well make a few....

Parsley, Safe, Rosemary and Thyme

oh since the stamp set is out, a coupon more with a different feel to it, no watercolors, just solid plain cardstock.

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 271 ~ Hemp and Twine will be fine

Hello friends, I am back!

40 hours ride, can you believe it? 6+ hours from Singapore to Seoul, 7 hours lay over, 12+ hours Seoul to LA, our flight from Seoul delayed an hour, that make us missed our connection from LAX to Las Vegas, so our bags were check into the next flight, and we found out that the flight that left turned back to LAX due to bad weather, although we are able to get on the flight that we missed, but it sat on the runway till 4 PM, which is 3+ hours delayed, whew..... we finally got home.

I haven't got time to blog as I get back to work right away, however, it is Tuesday and we have a new challenge at
