Made with Love's Layout of the Week

Woohoo! Was wondering if the card I have made and submitted to Made with Love's Layout of the Week for this week and just saw their blog post...

Yes!!! The 2nd time my work was featured in their blog this year.
Here's the link.

And this is the card that I have made and mailed out to my friends (FL & Daniel).



FL had Whatapps me yesterday that she received it. Finally after the festive period has ended, Singpost managed to deliver the mails by the next working day.

Wanted to make used of my embossed set of cards. Hence i took one with the "Baby" wordings and rubbed pink chalk in over it. Had to admit the pic used was not my first choice and the one i intended to cut of from the printed paper seemed too big. I need space for other decorations too.

Matched the picture with a paper doily, pink trimmings and some cute die-cut cut outs from K & Company and hence that's the end result.

My first take on Bo Bunny Sketch Challenge

For the first time, I decided to take up on Bo Bunny 's card challenge.
Here's the sketch.


I had spend quite some time on it. Actually I do not have a problem with the rules that I have to use some Bo Bunny supplies. In fact, I have lots of Bo Bunny papers, untouched, as they are so pretty and I sort of can't bear to cut them out. It was my insistence to use a strip of the hexagon pattern paper from another supplier ( i read that Hexagons are one of the trends now) that I had to crack my head to find suitable Bo Bunny's papers to pair them up. How glad I am that I had some papers from the latest Alora collection and I can cut the "Hearts" out to fit in to the "Love" theme.

I had made a birthday card , meant to be given to a friend. After all giving out a birthday card with love is still an act of love right? :P


So here's the result of my creation. (not my usual style, I know)



Supplies used:
Bo Bunny 12" County Garden Cut Outs (where the butterflies are cut out from)
Bo Bunny 12" Alora Wish
Bo Bunny 12" Alora Giggles
My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart "Be Amazing" Honey Blue Paper (Where I cut of the 3 hexagons)
Pale green flower from Prima
Little Yellow flower from some push cart stall
Pearls and crystals from Prima
Lace from Daiso
Tim Holtz Distress ink in Forest Moss
Glossy Accent
Foam dots
White card stock.

On this special day 21.02.2012

Have been contemplating to revive my neglected blog (another address) for some time so that I can post stuff without spamming on the Facebook News feed.

Saw this nice background while blog surfing yesterday and since I am in the mood, I decide take action before I start procrastinating.

It's only after I have log in into Blogger, I realised that I have "chope" this blog address "Ice Maiden Palace " years ago. For years, it was just an empty shell as I did not have the heart to set-up a blogshop selling my accessories creations. So might as well use this blog address to start a new blog.

I have always have an affinity with palindromes. Today couldn't be a better date to start this new blog right?

加油了!
