I learned about this 365 card blog from my friend. I finally decided to follow one of the sketch to try it out myself.
有一段時間沒有做手作卡了. 今日在家, 左貼貼, 右貼貼的. 弄了這張卡. 奶奶四月生日. 母親節還有一個多月, 五月又有朋友結婚, 這一個月有很多機會再做更多的心意卡了.
I am a little rusty with my card making. Hopefully my cards will look better with more practices. :)
It is a Chinese custom to have a celebration when baby turns one month old. We went to celebrate a friend's son one-month today. I made little Matthew this "slightly geeky" card. I am sure his parents would understand. :)
This card was a bit flat to begin with. So I cut the "Hello World" out from the card, to glue on another green card stock to provide some layering. I also embossed stars around the card.
It's my mom's birthday tomorrow. I have been trying to make her the perfect birthday card. But since I have been so rusty at making cards; I had a tough time making a decent one. I am not extremely proud of this card, but I do like the element that I made. I cut each of the petal and glue them together to form a flower. I think it's pretty cute.
It was Joanne and Eric's 大日子 (wedding) yesterday. It was my first time invited to a tent wedding. Though slightly hot, but it was definitely much better than the thunderstorm we got last weekend. The bride looked good! I looovvvveee her dresses. :)
I made a wedding card for them. This is the first time I successfully use ribbons for my cards. The trick is to use double sided tape to tape the ribbons, and wrap the ends behind a piece of paper, so the ends won't show and become "frilly". I also used eyelets for the card, which I haven't used for a while. (I usually make cards in wee hours, my downstairs neighbour probably wouldn't want to hear me hammering the eyelets then.)
我已經為母親節準備好了! 可可喜歡做卡給媽咪, 因為她收到時會好好欣賞, 用好誇張的口吻讚賞一輪, 回到家後, 又會把我的卡放在family當眼的地方. 可可每次回家見到自己的卡被放在family room 裡, 都會好似小朋友時作品被"貼堂"般沾沾自喜. 媽咪當然把我以往送給她的卡都好好收藏起來. I am ready for Mother's Day! I made our mothers handmade cards. I love making my mom handmade cards, since she always appreciates receiving them, and will even display them in the family room for a while. :)
最近見Diana瘋狂的弄quilling手作卡, 我也試試看. 還做了兩張差不多樣, 媽咪一張, 奶奶一張. (無偏心架! :) ) I am trying out the quilling method after seeing Diana has been addicted to quilling lately :)
Today is my mom's birthday. We went out to have dinner together. My brother got my mom a very pretty crystal necklace (let me add the Swarovski necklace to my wish list for my birthday). I was going to try to make a necklace for my mom, but my online order of beads didn't arrive in time. (I will give that to her for mother's day:P) Instead I got her 6 pairs of Japanese chopsticks, and of course as always, I made her a birthday card. :) (My mom actually kept everyone of the cards that I made her. :))
以 前可能又要顧家又要上班, 太大壓力, 食食下飯都會掛住公司的事, 印象中跟我們會說東西比較少. 最近發覺見到呀娘很喜歡一句又一句的, 說這又說那, 真的好好笑. 特別是呀嗲聽了不懂回答時, 外邊看來好像只有呀娘說, 呀嗲卻沒有甚麼反應的, 更好笑. 辛苦了三十年, 把我和弟弟都帶大了, 輕鬆一點, 像對老夫老妻, 也挺溫馨的 . (此刻的我不禁想, 時間為何會過得那麼快?)
不過呀嗲呀娘可以老夫老妻, 就永遠不會是老爸老媽了. 我還是要做他們心目中的小女孩哦!
祝媽咪青春長駐. 身體健康! 
I made a hand-craft gift & card for both dads. This may seem kiddy to many, but I always like giving our parents these kinds of kiddy gifts. It is like a little reminder that their little girl is always a little girl (and that they will feel they are still young). For Ka's dad, I made a happy family with rings around. The connected rings represent a family always being together. This way he will have the family staying with him at all times. For my parents, I made the happy Kwan's family, with an added member to the family this year, Ka!
We went to visit Ka's dad in the morning. Not sure if he stayed up late watching tv last night, but he seemed very sleepy this morning. He was still happy to see the gift we made him.
At night, we took my dad to Lobster Royale for a yummy lobster dinner. Everyone was happy with the dinner (though they were really rushing us out the door).
Happy Father's Day to all dad's out there!
