Blessing Birthday Card

Today I challenged myself to use left over recycled paper scraps from Card No. CD140325-1210.  The pink pieces were smaller so I used them to die cut butterflies.  As for the left over of Batch #3 (consisting of Japanese Sencha with Cherry Blossoms tea leaves), I combined it one of the pure milk carton recycled paper to make the background.  I made this for Ming Li, one of our anchors in Live Wire Charge Up 2014 for our song writing class.  She really inspired me tonnes in her singing ministry and I'm so blessed to have got to know her.  It's a belated birthday card though, hope she likes it. 

Also I made this for Simon Says Stamp Blog Wednesday Challenge of HAPPY BIRTHDAY and The Card Concept Challenge #7 - Use a Butterfly Theme (Style: Classy and Elegant).



Ingredients: 
  • Card Stock: Popular Ivory Card, Kraft Paper (sorry I forgot the source as this is piece of scrap)
  • Recycled Paper: Milk Carton, Toilet Paper Roll Core, Tea Leaves of Gryphon (Hanami Blend - Japanese Sencha with Cherry Blossoms), GBOX wrapping paper (only on butterflies) 
  • Ribbon: Momoyo (bought from Kaizen, Paradigm Mall, Selangor, Malaysia)
  • Embellishments: Bronze Brads, Pearls (Stampin'Up!)
  • Stamps: Stampin' Up! God's Blessings
  • Ink: VersaFine Vintage Sepia

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'
