Spring Has Sprung ~ DS4J Mid-Challenge #67

Hello everyone! I've been missing for several days attending a family reunion for property hearing two Mondays ago. When I came back, I couldn't craft straight away because it's my son's turn facing chicken pox followed by daughter number two. They got it from their big sister who has recovered with some marks, brrrr. Daughter number three is still safe until today; hoping for the best :) School holidays is just around the corner and the kids are anxious to spend time with my Mother down south (we will leave this Friday). Nevertheless, they have to stay indoor. It doesn't matter if they can't go anywhere so long they can be their grandmother and help out. Honestly speaking, they are totally bored staying home!

Enough blab. Next on my agenda today is to announce DS4J Mid-Challenge. The theme is Spring Has Sprung! Take a peek here to see what my design teammates have created. For my card, I have used a lovely image Tulip Basket and you can get it here.

 Supplies: DS4J image, Origami papers, MS border punch, Copic Sketch, Petaloo flowers, border sticker, Kaisercraft brown ink pad

 I love the texture of these origami papers.

 Making this card is similar to the way I scrap layouts, lol. I love using my own alpha dies and dymo for titles. 

I love tulips and this time I go for sephia tone.

I would like this card to enter these challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamps Challenge : Flower Power
2. Cute Daisy May : May Flower
3. Let's Create : Ch#70 Die Cuts 

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day. Till then.

Hugs and smiles,

"You Win" and DS4J Mid-Challenge #66

May is always a special month to celebrate Mothers. Thus Digistamps 4 Joy mid-challenge is to make a paper creation with the theme Women Are Special. Your creation can be for a mother, grandmother, stepmother, or a very special woman friend. In other words, show off the specialty of being a woman and celebrate her!

Challenge will end on May 14, 2013 so what are you waiting for! Take a peek here and see what my fellow teammates have designed for your inspirations.  
 

I used DS4J image Lillies For You for my stepper card design. You can get her here.

Supplies: DS4J image, Copic Sketch, Stickles, Carla Craft punch, sentiment from Ginger's House, and others from my stash

I believe this is the first time I feel satisfied with my hair coloring, lol.

This flower was fun to make. 

I have used 3D flower set from DS4J to make the flower and you can get the images here. I have provided a tutorial below and hopefully my card and handmade flower will inspire you to create.

Misteri Caller ~ DS4J New Digi Release

Hi there! I'm so excited to share great news today on DS4J's new digi image release entitle Misteri Caller. Now, isn't she stunning? You can get her here. I have made my  favorite fold card for this awesome image drawn by Jen Lee.  

 Supplies: digi from DS4J, Copic Sketch, Micia ink pad, pp from Quick Craft magazine and others from my stash

 I folded the circles into halves  and another halves to add dimension.

I colored her at night time when mojo kicks in at that hour although I dislike coloring at night because of the lighting and I must say this is my bestest coloring so far :)

If you would like to have pre-colored image, you will like what Jen Lee has in store you.

"The Rarest of Flowers" with Lady Anne's May Stamp Challenge

Hello everyone! Life's been hectic and exhausting on my end since Tuesday when my eldest came home from boarding school with fever and rashes that turns out to be chicken pox. I'm nursing her every now and then as well as preparing my mind and soul if or when her three siblings ever catch the virus from their sister, lol. I was able to take a long rest yesterday and let my mind sleep in the end; it hardly sleep tight when I'm sleeping, hihi. 

I apologize for posting this a little bit late but seriously I don't have much energy to face the computer screen when I had less sleep the last few days attending to a sick child. 

Okay, without further ado, Lady Anne's Challenges is having a new stamp challenge this month and as always is Anything Goes. The challenge starts on May 1 until June 4.
