Valentine's Day Cards

Made these Valentine's Day cards for my blogstore. Head over there for some lovey-dovey gifts for your special someone!

Jillibean Cards

I don't make cards often but when I do, it's usually with Jillibean Soup papers. I love the look of kraft paper - natural and earthy. Add the spurts of colour that are the trademark of JS kraft patterned papers, it's the perfect combi for me!

Did I mention they have yummy names too? :)

Supplies:

Jillibean Soup - Split Pea (Pinch of Sugar), Cream of Mushroom (Chopped Parsley)

Making Memories - Rub-on alphas

Others - Kraft cardstock and red button

Supplies:

Jillibean Soup - Cold Raspberry (Fresh Rasberries), Cream of Mushroom (Chopped Parsley)

Prima - Flowers

Foof-fa-la - Buttons

Ranger - Glitter Stickles

7Gypsies - Word Stickers

Some Handmade Gifts

It's been a long week! Been meeting writing deadlines, which could only be done in the dead of the night when the kiddos are asleep. With some breather last weekend, I scrapped with fury to meet my gift 'deadlines' :)

Here they are:

1) A picture frame using Graphic45 papers.

2) A Jillibean Soup card to go with the frame, accentuated with some lace, Prima flowers and AC alphas.

3) An altered box using GCD Studios papers.

Jillibean Card & Sassafras Layout

Today was the last day of school for Asher's Chinese teacher. From next month, she'll be teaching in another school. A few moms, including myself, will miss her as she did much to create a love for Chinese in our 'ang moh' kids. Thanks to her, Asher happily speaks in Mandarin to his grandmothers, never mind he uses an English word or two in between. I'll never forget how she consistently gave feedback on Asher's behaviour and academic performance in school, encouraging me and giving tips on how to make him enjoy the learning journey.

Here's the card I made to go with the farewell gift several of us moms gave her.

Scrapping inspiration came in the afternoon and I did this layout. I've about four pictures of Ariel standing in her cot in various poses. Think I'll use up the Sassafras Lass papers on them :)
