Another quilling typography in frame

I forgot where I put all of my three cameras..Can you imagine? Therefore, I snapped some pictures using my mobile phone..Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures and also the overall pictures (Thought I had the whole frame, but I didn't..Thanks to the panic attack..Sigh) 

My apology as the picture is a bit tilted..

As requested by a sister to be given to her baby sister..

Mum, it's your special day

Yesterday, I couldn't find my memory card reader, so I uploaded the pictures that I have on my desktop 1st as I wanted to wish all mothers a very happy mother's day..So the picture that I have on my Facebook, together with all quilling and card maker groups didn't have the 'bling' (^__^) Today, I managed to do so and tadaa..

Mum, when thoughts of you are in our hearts, we're never far from home (Anonymous)

Created this for the "Mother's Day"..

For a very special mother..

..who is always on my side

With a cute touch on it (^__^)

Happy mother's day to mums all over the world..


Entry for this card:
Crafty JC Challenge #16 - For a special lady

Kidney-shaped petals

One of the members of the car club that I join requested me to make a card for his new (girl)friend..He wanted to have a butterfly and and flowers on the card with a short note on it..

And this is what I came out with..

At first, I didn't know what type of flower I wanted to put on the card..However, as I was playing around with the paper strips, the idea of making these petals popped out..The petals look like a kidney, so that's how it gets its name (^__^) This kidney-shaped technique was presented earlier in the butterfly that I had created..I just turned it into petals and it works..

In order to make these petals, you only have to curl your strips and make them look like a kidney..Once they're ready, you can attach them together to form a flower..

These two are to complement the flowers..

I feel like pinching this ladybird..Thehehehe..

Sweet Leaves Blog Hop

I was extremely busy this week that I only realised the blog hop was two days to go when one of the Malaysian quillers, (Kak) Lin asked me about it. I love the theme - LEAVES! This theme fits the "2011 Environment Week" that will be held in our university in two weeks time.

For this project, I just used simple leaf techniques. My attention was to make the leaves as the main attraction and to spread the message - Love our greenery. Making cards require us to use a lot of papers, so I'll ensure that I make full use of everything. I keep all unwanted papers and send them to the recycling centre (Thanks to my mom for this habit)..It's the least I can do to help the mother earth..

Anyway, back to the real deal..There are 22 quillers from 6 different continents that participate in this blog hop..You can see all quillers in the list provided at the bottom of this entry..Then you can start hopping from one blog to another..This is what I came out with for this blog hop..

I made some modification to the picture frame and add some cardboards to create the effect..My apology for the reflection of myself on the mirror (Couldn't avoid that)..

The flower that I have here was made prior to the one that I had before..

I just had nothing for the background as I wanted the colour to pop out..

There are many layers involved..

Notice the stand for the small leaf? There's another one under the flower..That's the trick..

These two make good companions to the leaves..

Hope they look like leaves to you (>__<)

Thank you for hopping by here and also million thanks to Sandra for hosting this blog hop..Your next stop for this blog hop is "Daydreams" by Suganthi..She has shared a lot of information and techniques on quilling..What's best about her is she shares some techniques that only require you to use the things that you have around you (If you don't have the specific tools)..

Below is the full blog hop list..If you get lost along the way, or if someone doesn't have his or her project ready yet, you can always return here and get back on track:
