TGIF!! Rock Snow Star!

It is show time! Holiday season is right at the door step...so as the snow! Say hello to my Rock snow star. I better find a name for her (How about make a comment and drop some suggestions?)! I made this card based on the Friday Sketchers. I am not sure if I will be able to make, but my idea was to make something . Did I  say  I am a rookie? Yeap. I decided to do this card in the last minute while I was sleepless last night...( Now I am ready to hit the sac heheh). I am just loving to experiment with all kinds of goodies I have been collecting thru the past couple months. 

Yes, yes I used my beloved microbeads...they are so cool! Aside from that I also tried for the first time Ranged puff embossing powder...what a neat texture. I like it! But beyond micro beads my new obsession is MARKERS! The more I color the more I want to learn about markers and its techniques...I am in heaven with these pens! I will update the "This & That" later today. So good luck for all of us...TGIF!!!
Update: I just decided to enter the Saturday challenge about Snow!

This & That


Coming later today....

Monkey Business

We all know that in life, family and friends are the things that matter the most. I was lucky to have met my dear friend and “sis” Connie. She is a dear buddy in the embroidery +sewing world = everyday life. Connie and I bumped into each other over Craftster and we have exchanged items and helped organizing a couple swaps (it is so much fun!). We never stopped talking…a true friendship was granted thru craft! Well, like good girly gals we both moved almost at the same date this year…so I promised to make her “We’ve moved!” cards as part of her housewarming gift. Connie call her 8 (yes, eight and she is my hero and super mom) kids monkeys…so choosing a mascot to spread the word was easy!
