Hello dear friends!

It's been a while... I have a hectic schedule - with family, home chores and work. I did small craft projects for a little fun but I haven't blog about it because my mind is really preoccupied. My only rest is to browse and play with my FB friends, hehehe, at least I have a little social life... But still I'm looking forward on making a lot on crafting. Right now, I decided to re-arrange and re-organize our home and my craft area to cope with everything that needs to be done. I got inspired with a lot of organizing ideas and I wanted to put my profession in to practice. It really is exhausting but I'm enjoying it because it brings in new life and look to our home. It might as well help me a lot to be more productive. (in the photo: Me, Mommy Josie, Miggy and Jenny enjoying gelato on a stick at Stick House)

'til then... I wish everyone's safe and happy... 

Papercrafts: Handmade Note Cards

Silicone Stamps

Got this lovely silicone stamps from Japan Home (Daiso) for only 66Php. I challenged myself to create note cards using this stamp set and the design and scheme from a shop paper packaging. It's nice to take challenges once in a while for a bit of fun!

Papercraft: Bath Door Sign

Letting it dry before hanging...

It's been a while since I made something out of paper... This weekend I decided to do general cleaning and re-arrange furnishings in our home. I re-decorated our bath and thought of adding a door sign. It's easy to buy a bath door sign from home depots but it's more fun if it's personalized and handmade.

Materials: Scrap patterned papers, Fuzzy Wire, Trimmings, Bella Stamp, Prismacolor, Chipboard letters, Gel pens, Markers, Clothespin decor by Jerosha, Adhesives and Crafting tools

Piano Pop-up Card

This was an old project... I forgot to post about it here because I have kept it for a very long time that I have forgotten about it... It was the last card I made from my previous working space before the flood... I just found it yesterday when I'm going over my stash.

It's a piano pop-up card. I saw the basic pattern from a Japanese craft book then I just added my design on it. I love this because it was my first attempt to use black, silver and bronze on a card. I usually use vibrant colors for my cards. I hope you like it, thanks :)

Dolls: Lip Painting

I accidentally damaged Abbey's lips while cleaning her. Good thing there are tutorials about doll lip painting. I followed the one from Puchicollective except on varnish or sealer application which I followed the manufacturer's instruction.

Materials: Semco Acrylic Paints, extender (but in my case I'm using a waterbased paint, I just used a small amount of water), Golden polymer varnish or any clear varnish for acrylic paints (either matte, gloss or any desired effect) - important to apply sealer to protect the paint and painting tools. Don't forget to protect other parts of your doll from getting paint stain, I wrapped her with cling wrap before proceeding with the lip painting.

Bratz Costume Party Yasmin

I really love all my collection but I'm sending this little angel to make a friend smile inspite of her worries. This doll is for her because she once told me that if she'll have a daughter for her next child, she will name her Angela which will match her son's name, Angelo. She truly adores my collection - be it about crafts or dolls. She always browse my page because she enjoys being here... And I'm really happy to be able to cheer her up in my little ways. I always pray for her to be strong and happy.

Say hello to your new mom, Yasmin... I'm sure she'll take a good care and love you...
