Handmaking Cards is all about sharing the Lurve

"Handmaking cards is all about sharing the Lurve" - I thought of this phrase to make cards for my 2 card making buddies - Marlene and Liza. Purpose of these 2 cards are mostly gratitude and appreciation of the love I receive from them through card making.

Marlene was such a darling to send us Valentines card for our church activity :) This is the card I made for her. Another card is a card I found on the spot in church, to let others sign and show their gratitude for her cards. I actually made some extra's for the event that night so that we can have one to sign by all to Marlene. But the attendance that night was good (thank God) so my extra's were not enough. I searched high and low and prayed I could find a piece of blank A4 paper, thinking I could let them sign first and I'll make the cover later on. But to my despair, while there are many many new envelopes =.=, I could not find one single A4 paper in Pandan. "Alamak!!" I thought. However, God knows best and prepared better. I found a stack of cards, thank you cards with bible scriptures some more, buried under piles of misc documents, and more envelopes. This was perfect!!
I had a very very pleasant surprise from Liza - a demonstrator for Stamping Up!. Recently I made my first order with Stamping Up! and got to know her through Marlene. Then Liza sent me a lovely greeting card to say Hi... and encourage me ^^. Together with that, she sent me a Stamping Up! idea book / catalogue. WOW!! This book is really nice..... I fell asleep reading it the first night I received it. It really gave me lots of inspirations. Thanks Liza - I love them both... VERY MUCH!
Now don't you agree that Handmaking cards is all about sharing the Lurve? :) God bless you all. Have a good weekend.

Shera, I have checked out Stampin' UP site. Looks very interesting. Liza is demonstrator from US? Are you part of Stampin' UP too? I'm always been tempting to open up an 'Arts & Craft' shop in KL. Any idea to it? Thanks

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008.  I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today.  I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia.  ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market.  Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found.  Don't think its complete though.  Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog.  And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as below: Scr

Unknown Song without a Title

Wrote this song somewhere end of February 2014, during Charge Up! camp, where I joined a song composing workshop.  It was a sweet and thoughtful gift from Ruidi & Sandy.  I was in between barista jobs and was struggling financially.  While they joined the camp, not only they thought of inviting me, including me in the fun, they offered to pay for my fee.  One of the most memorable gifts I've received for no reason.   During the workshop, we were given this exercise where we were shown the picture of a pruned tree.  We brainstormed words relating the picture and we were asked to compose a song from there.  The song below is my take on it, with much help from my facilitators, Ernest and Ming Li, on the lyrics and also the music. To have met and known them have been such a privilege, an honor and one of my greatest inspiration.   It's been a while, and I don't know why I chose to journal this here today.  Just felt like giving my unknown untitled song a home here :)  I'
