The Richness of Summer.

I am having such a hard time sitting down to this computer to write blog posts. I mean - there is plenty going on that is worth mentioning, discussing and sharing ... but man ... that sun ... the greenery ... the warm spring breezes ... and the bleating goats are constantly calling to me.

Summer is always way too short. Though I try to savor every moment, it is never enough. So much to enjoy ... thankfully.

So - I will get back to posting soon. But not today. The sun is out.

Love,

Jodi

Happy Birthday Mak Ngah

Oh my gosh......it has been quite a long time since I last posted anything here..... :( . I made this card design last month for my dear aunt but was not able to post it in this blog because of the PC problem....even though the PC has been "fixed" but most of the time it acts up and honestly I'm getting pretty frustrated with it. I can't afford to buy a new one yet so I have to be patient with this one. Because of this problem I have not been taking any orders online......so I have to find income in other ways.....boohooohoooooo :(

OK, let's talk about the design......I wanted so badly to do this design for a long time now.....got the idea of doing a pop up vase with flowers from the Extreme Cards and Paper Crafting blog.....gosh, there are just so many interesting tutorials there to try......I learned about how to assemble my 7 flower pop up there as well. :) Since I've been so into making designs that looks like quilt or shall I say looks like embroidery designs.....so I did it again here....with a combination of pink and brown....so sweet, sweet like my dear aunt hehehe......

The pop up vase and flowers were so hard to do......I guess the hard part would be to arrange the flowers in the vase and make it look organized and pretty at the same time.....and the important thing is that it has to pop up nicely! ha! It really really tested my patients hahahaha..... ;) I guess it will be a while till I will do this design again because I think I would have to be in a really good mood to do it......otherwise I would tear it all up!! LOL!

I'm just happy that my aunt loved it so much.....that made everything worth while ;)
