Quilling Pink Roses in Vase Birthday Card

Good afternoon! I have some news! Dimma and I are moving to Albany soon! It's about a 3 hr drive north of here. It's no NYC, but we visited on Sunday and felt that it is good enough for our lifestyle. It's a major change, but it isn't as if we take advantage of all that NYC has to offer most of the time anyway. We find that we're more frustrated living here than anything. Don't get me wrong, I still love a lot of things that remain here--family and friends I can never replace for one thing! I will miss them a lot, but my wedding is still taking place in Queens so we will visit enough! Dimma starts his job Oct 24th, so we really need to scramble to find a place NOW! I think the physical part of moving will be the most traumatic, but once we've figured all of things out it should be much more calm. With that said, I probably won't be able to post often on my blog...not that I've been doing a good job this summer anyway (sorry)! Either way, thank you blog friends for stopping by once in a while to say hi!

Today I have a quilled roses card. I added some glitter, so it sparkles! The vase shape is hand cut and embossed. The sentiment was printed using my photo printer. It has an elegance that I can only strive for in my life. :D

Enjoy your day!

Best Friends Quilled Flowers and Roses Frame Card

I am thrilled to be a winner of Ann's recent book giveaway--Party Origami!

Does that look exciting or what?! I can't wait to try some of the things--thank you!!!

So how about this NYC weather? 90s leading up to June. Unreal!

Anyway, this is a picture frame card that I made. It's a bit different than usual--it's super girly looking to me and playful. I'm usually more toned down with this stuff, but maybe it's the vibrant flowers outside that are inspiring to me.

This is a picture from about 4 years ago. I'm in the middle, Jen to the right, and Jenny to my left. Jenny already has an (almost) 1 yr old--boy does time fly!

Happy 100 Days Baby Girl Pink Quilled Roses Card

I made a quick baby card for my co-worker who needed a last minute one for a 100th day celebration. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this term, it is a traditional celebration for a newborn 100 days after their birth. It is commonly observed by Korean and Chinese families. In addition to this day, I know that the Chinese have a gathering on the first full month/full moon after the baby is born. For this particular celebration, it is the first official introduction of the baby to relatives and close friends. Are there any such celebrations in your culture?

The baby feet were chalked and then a layer of glitter was applied sparingly to it. 3 various sized roses were quilled. 

This interior also sports the same footsies from Cuttlebug. 

Enjoy!
