Time to Celebrate yet?

Happy happy Thursday! Time for some Chi Chi fun. Since July 4th is coming up really soon, how about something red, white, and blue? I used the Happy 4th stamp set from Chi Chi Memories. You can get it here, plus it's on sale for only $3.96.

I was totally lazy... I couldn't find any pattern paper that I want to use... So, I colored the paper with my Copic marker to create the frame. And the sentiment is from Amuse and I used the Faber-Castell brush pen as ink. Hehe!

Hope you like it and have a great day!

Happy Fathers Day and more...

Good morning and happy Fathers' Day to all the special DADS! I don't really celebrate Fathers Day, since my dad passed away while I was very young. But I do missed him, and wish he is around. However, I'm very blessed to have my god-father and my father-in-law. They are both wonderful. I'm sure a lucky gal! And here is a card that I made to honor this special day!

Here is something a little more girly. The beautiful stamp in from Hero Arts. I color the image with Faber-Castell big brush pens, I also added some extra sparkles with the Copic Spica pens.


Plus, here are some more creations from my god-sister Charmaine, she sure is a natural. She has only been crafting for only 4 days... She is already playing with distressing ink pad, perfect peals, stickles, embossing folders, and the Cricut! Smiley from millan.net



I hope you enjoyed her little showcase. Have an AWESOME day! We are off to Boston.Smiley from millan.net

Happy weekend everyone, how are you? Hope you are enjoying the weekend. As for me... I'm having a great week, my god sister came to visit me here. And we are having a blast! We eat, sleep, shop, laugh, and CRAFT! Yes, she wasn't a paper crafter before... I have got her into the dark side of the crafting world. Smiley from millan.net

Here is a picture of her IN ACTION! Yes, she is into Tim Holtz.


Sure, it doesn't take her long to have her own goodies...Smiley from millan.net

Check out her amazing creations pieces! She used my Cricut machine, cut out these beautiful hearts, flowers, etc. from the Love Struck and Walk in Garden cartridge. She used Tim Holtz distressing ink pads, stickles, perfect peals, and glossy accents. Trust me, this picture does not do justice.Smiley from millan.net


Above is her very first set of cards...


Finally, here is a card from me... it's super simple! Since I was too busy WOWing all her stunning pieces.

Meet Emma and another video! :)


Hello and happy Sunday! Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Since summer is right around the corner, how about something bright and cheerful? Meet Emma from Baby Buds Designs! She is so so cute with her curvy hair, and I'm way over due for something blue. Plus I want to play along the TTCRD challenge - "paper piecing".

I don't know about you... but for me, when I use digi stamps and trying to print the image on the design paper is always a challenge for me. I never know which side to print on... actually I'm too lazy to figure it out.Smiley from millan.net So, I made my own paper!



What I did it:
  • I printed Emma twice from my printer
  • I use one of the Emma's, use a polka dot stamp (Stampers Anonymous) with versamark, heated dry, then ink her whole dress in Ranger distressing in broken china
  • Wipe out the extra color with a baby wipe
  • Cut out her pretty little dress

Goodies that I used:
Paper: Basic Grey Lauderdale
Copic markers: E000, E00, E01, E50, E53, B00
Others: Washi paper tape, twine, glitter
Well, I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by! Smiley from millan.net

Woohoo.... weekend!

WoohOOO! It's finally the weekend! How are you? No, I don't have the weekend off... but it's okay, I will have a few days off in a couple days. Check out this adorable owl from Paper Smooches! I have been eye-ing this adorable set called Chubby Chums. And I finally got it and so excited.

I used this super cute paper from Prima So Cute paper stack. And I create the frame with the spellbinders and for the olive green dew drops... I airbrushed the white dew drop with copic markers YG95. Smiley from millan.net

Hope you like it and have a great weekend!

P.S. No video... I was recording while I was making this card, but my battery ran out. Smiley from millan.net Oh well, next time.
