Birthday Card For Erwin

I quickly finish this card for Erwin on his birthday. Got inspired with the way Au uses the Cuttlebug birthday embosser to create a beautiful card. Upon seeing her creation, I immediately bought my own birthday embosser to create that look also. I also asked Au how did she do that effect, she explain to me everything through phone but I wasn't able to do it instead I ended up stamping the whole embossed cuttlebug birthday, and I love the outcome.


Materials:
Cuttlebug Birthday Embosser, Cardstocks, AAS Birthday Chipboards

Happy Birthday, Erwin

Can't find a gift for Erwin until I got an idea from babycakestore owned by Hyce, a friend of my sister. She made baby cakes out of diapers. Do check it out her site. Upon seeing the ready made baby cake that she made for her previous customers, i immediately text her and ask me if she can do a cake for Erwin. After series of text and chat, I decided to have this idea. A towel cake with a Yummy junk foods as topper of the cake. Hyce name this cake as her Junkie Towel Cake creation.

Valentine Pictorial

Last Valentine, we decided to celebrate in by having a studio shoot with Erwin. It was the first time the he absent from work because he need to renew his driver license and we had a doctor appointment on that day. I told him no need to bring me to the hotel and have the usual date. Instead we ended up a studio pictorial at PIC-A-BOO-the block. Thanks Au for recommending it to us. I agree with you it is affordable but we needed up getting 4 package plus the low-resolution CD of the pictorial.

Joy say KAYA
Honestly, I had a hard time with this challenge not because I don't know how to make digital layout but the kit of Danielle Young is so beautiful that I can't think of better way to make to interpret it perfectly. I keep on loading the kit to my work area until I was able to do one. Got inspired with the picture of my CUTE nephew. Thanks Diane for giving this challenge. Quite challenging for my part. Hope you will like the way I use the kit.

Ribbons!! Ribbons!!

Last January, I took time to visit New State Lace Center in Tutuban. Before I used to buy from this store. They caters cross stitch loves. A wide variety of pattern to choose from, you search for a design that you want to sew and ask them to photocopy the pattern that you want. Aside from the hundred of patterns, they also sell almost all types of threads, laces, ribbons, buttons, blings, ric rac and others stuffs that you might need to create some fashion accessories, add details to clothes and even scrapbooking layout. One stop shop for scrapbookers, fashion designers, bead making etc.
