What I want for Christmas
I remember when I was little all I wanted for Christmas was : A BIG CHOCOLATE with WHOLE HAZELNUTS! ( I didn't ask for much! and I always got it)
Now I want this : http://onehappystamper.typepad.com/photos/cindys_stampin_studio/index.html
( I don't ask for much again, LoL, kidding)-maybe some day, until then I will be satisfied with my little craft corner in the kitchen.

Origami box
I was planning to make this box from the SU DPS, but I couldn't wait and wanted to try how it comes out before I ruin a 12"x12" piece of paper. So here is the turn out:
And this is my helper while I was making the box, she wanted to check what is inside, so on the end she got greenies to keep her busy and less curious. She loves puling the boxes with stamps and chewing on the wood, and sitting on top of the cardstock. Though few months ago when I moved my craft stuff from the living room to the bedtoom and from the bedtoom to the kitchen, she hasn't had chance to do that. :D

Gamsol Magic
I used the Gamsol Magic technique for this one, I used Pale Plum,Creamy Caramel and Whisper White cardstock, and hemp twine. I used the retired set "Garden Collage", it's one of my favorite sets!
Brown Magic
Okay, this technique is called black magic, but I used chocolate chip cardstock, so I called it brown magic. The other day I saw Karen's (Claire's aunt) card on SCS, and decided to try out the technique. I was contemplating which set to use, and of course I ended up with Baroque Motifs. I used Prismacolor pencils, instead of Pure Color Pencils( I don't have those yet). After I stamped with white ink, I colored the images and added some touch with white gel pen, then mounted it on Pale Plum cardstock, and then on Purely Pomogranate card, I added strip of Pale Plum on the bottom and dark brown ribbon (not SU) on top of it. So here is how it turned out.

Face
Wow, I am famous. Just kidding.
The lady who did my make up for my wedding (actually both -long story) put up my face on her website. http://www.bridalmakeupartistry.com/faces.html . She is such a great make up artist! Oh yeah, I lived with her and her family for like 10 months since I came to the US, and she was my Matron of Honor.

2 cards
Sheesh, for a whole day I made just two cards. I found it hard sitting down and making cards, I found so many distractions in the home, and I thought I will make about 10 cards today :( I saw this design on Splitcoaststampers and decided to case it, the flower in glued with dimensionals, but for some reason the picture doesn't reflect that.
I made this card for a friend from church, her father passed away last week, I just got around making a card for her, the Sympathy stamp is not SU, that's the only one I have for this occasion, so I had to use that one. The picture is little blury, but I saw that after I mailed the card
This year's Christmas cards
Some old cards-Acetate and tissue and last year's Xmas cards
I used Fall Whimsy (retired set), Staz On black ink, more mustard paper and night of navy. The rest of the supplies are not SU. I added Pearl-ex on the acetate, well between the acetate and the tissue paper(but the picture can't really show it)
I hope to make some cards today, I still haven't gotten around to it. :(

Being a demonstrator equals FREE STAMPS

So last night, or early morning I placed an order, and then wanted to check it, lol, and I saw some other order in my account which said FREE stamp set. It comes up to be a free stamp set from Stampin' Up to just say THANK YOU, and it's a 3rd level Hostess Set from the upcoming catalog Sping-Summer 2008. So this month I get 2 free sets (one from my order as hostess benefits one as gift from Stampin' Up). Isn't it great being SU demonstrator?
If you are interested in being a demo, contact me!
Been a while
since I posted any cards. I hope to do pretty soon, in day or two. I just ordered me some new toys (a,k.a stamps and supplies)- getting ready for the winter break :) which is starting on December 15th. Sean said to not buy anything before Christmas, because I don't know what I will get. I put together a Stampin' Up wish list LoL and he has it now. I guess it's now " no more new toys till Christmas"-so sad. ;)
