Cards I made for the day!

This is a Birthday card I made for my Grandma using Bigkick and Cuttlebug embossing folder and Sizzix alphabet dies for the letters..

I'm not sure whether this qualifies for the Practical Scrapper's Paper punches contest..

This is a random card I made when I tried out using my new stash of FLOCK for the fuzzy velvet texture.. Turned out well, I guess, so I filled in the white space with colours and swirls..

Let's Learn about Fall

Teaching has been my favourite activity during this season. Taught Junior Kindergarten kids about Halloween and the warm colours of FALL!

embossin, and attached with 3D foam stickers..

How I cherish Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking certainly inspires me.. Due to the art, relaxation when crafting layouts, and helps me preserve memories of various moments..
