More Cards...and Photos

I got the chance to upload more photos this time. Here's an all-occasion card, no caption, text, wahatsoever so it can be used for any purpose. I just love the combo of classic colors red, black and white. Most of the things I used are left-over scraps - the papers, the trimmings and even the 2 red roses are odd finds. The only newly bought ones are the glittered flower diecuts from Panduro and the MM pebble brads.



I also tried my hands on teabag-folding. Such great fun making these but I must say very tedious too! The photos didn't turn out well as the lighting is quite poor and it looks gloomy outside. I usually rely on good lighting from outside thru the glass window when photographing my cards. I have this corner table in the lounge by the window and it usually gets some good natural lighting, well not today...Never mind.



I also made some boy cards which I keep handy for when my kids' friends have birthday. The third one is actually the card I made for my 13 year old this year. I never took a photo of it before so I just included it this time:)


Fancy some colorful cards? Here's a couple of harlequin cards I made. I just loved these bright papers I got from Panduro on sale last year but didn't really know what to do with them. When I opted to try out something different I remember I had these papers somewhere in my stash. So I pulled them out one day and turned them into these lovely cards, what ya think?


Before closing off for the day I'd like to share some of my favorite photos which I fiddled with some time back before I purchased Maggie Holmes' Actions set. Like I said earlier I used a lot of time playing with editing and trying to get the perfect (well almost:) images, but it's all worth the precious time. Oh, and by the way, I should give credit to MCP Actions for their freebies. The black frames I've been using in my photos are from their website which you can download for free, check it out. If you want to see more great use of these great frames have a look at Keisha's blog. Her photographs are just so beautiful and inspirational, so now you know where I got the inspiration from using those lovely frames. Anyways here are my fav pics of the boys which I intend to scrap later.

That's just about it for now. I'll be back with more cards to share later. You have a good day!
