CIC344: Cupcake Inspirations: Color Challenge

Welcome back to my humble blog.

Today I baked Honey Cornflakes Raisin cookies for Chinese New Year. It was my all time favorite cookies and also requested by my brother each year.

As for my lunch today, bacon with egg. Added cheddar cheese, black pepper and mixed herbs for a taste except for 1 of them. Taste so good.

Now, I just wanted to share a book which I bought on recent Friday. I ordered this book from Kinokuniya - Idiots Guides: Succulents by Cassidy Tuttle. You can also purchased this book from Amazon. As Amazon price are expensive, I ordered it thru Kinokuniya Malaysia. I was so excited to have this book as I am a beginner in succulent. It is a great book to have too.

Since Chinese New Year just around the corner, I also did some CNY card. I am still working it out. A sneak peak on what is on my table.

Valentine's Day Card Swap 2013

This year I joined one of the card swap event organized by Craftmate Store in Malaysia.
I was so excited with this event as it is my first time to participate.

Everyday I have been waiting for my card from assigned partner & it came at last due to festive season is just around the corner.

This is the love card which I received from my assigned partner. Love how she has designed it. Simple & lovely.

This is the love card I have designed to my assigned partner. Lovely isn't it? ^_^

Right now, I am looking forward to such activity in Malaysia.

Way to go, girls! Don't forget to support Paper Craft Malaysia Challenge too.

Altered Plastic Paper Clip

TGIF!

Happy Friday!

I have been spending 4 days at home doing my hand crafts stuffs - hand embroidery, wired jewelry, beadings & paper crafts. Took annual leaves from the co.


Today, I am going to share what I have done with plastic paper clips.

These are paper clips which I get for FREE from my last year purchase at Living Cabin & was kept in my storage approx. a year. They are cute with nice cute animals on it.

Do you know that you can re-purpose your earring which do not have earstud? Saw my earring without earstud as below? ( O_O yeah.. saw it.. Hahaha )


In addition, I also used paper flowers from Kaiser & Prima to decorate my paper clip. I arranged the flower on top of the paper clip. Of course, using UHU glue to stick it on.

I used buttons & ribbons to add in more decoration. Aren't they lovely? ^_^
If you look at the top row, these pink flower was actually one of my scraps too. It come from one of my hair band & it always keep dropping out. So, I pulled everything & keep it as scraps.

 Have fun with this project if you have these type or any type of paper clips.

Tips: You can use the earrings (without earstud) on your cards or scrap booking to add in as embellishment.
