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

Love your cards! The saying you made up on the top one especially. It came at a time when I really needed some lurve after some criticism I took really hard & it gave me such a giggle! Thanks for sharing such wonderful inspiration. You made my day more than I can say! :O)

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 belo...

The Power of Positive Thinking

WARNING: This is a Looooooong Post :P I'm reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Actually this is a book i bought on 20th July, 2002 and didn't finish it for some reasons that I don't remember. Then lately, out of the blue, I took it out to read it all over again, hopefully being able to finish it this time :P Neways, that's the history of the book and me. I'm at chapter 2 now and I came across a very unique practice of a man. It reads: It is possible, even in the midst of your daily work, to drive confident thoughts into consciousness. Let me tell you about one man who did so by the use of a unique method. One icy winter morning he called for me at a hotel in a Midwestern city to take me about thirty-five miles to another town to fill a lecture engagement. We got into his car and started off at a rather high rate of speed on the slippery road. He was going a little faster than I thought reasonable, and I reminded h...

Special Commemorative Cover of President Barack Obama

Got up early today to que for this - Special Commemorative Cover President Barack Obama’s Visit to Malaysia.  President Obama will be the first president of the United States of America to visit Malaysia in nearly half a century (44 years) after President Lyndon Johnson’s visit in 1966.  This edition is only limited to 25000 copies nationwide.  Miri was only given 30 copies.  Dad was the one who told me about this and drove me to buy it.  We went out before 7am, had breakfast and bought some vegies/meat at the market while waiting for the post office to open at 8am.  Enjoyed spending that time with Dad and I'm always touched when he drives me around to run errands.   He helped to que too and in the end we managed to get two copies ^^  I stamped my planner too :p  Isn't it lovely? hehe.
