City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 407 ~ Birthday Post, Special Guest Ros Crawford

This week is a crazy week for me, is the once a year where I help out my friend at the NAB convention, plus my regular teaching, so I am working literally from 8 AM and only get home at 8 PM, long day, so you won't see me much here! : )

If you haven't know yet, we are celebrating City Crafter Challenge Blog's 8th Anniversary this month!

Oh yes, City Crafter Challenge Blog is running for 8 years now! 

Through this challenge blog, I met a lot of people and designers whom I work with, one of the nicest most of you know is Ros! If you are here often, you should also know that I met Ros in person in London, you can read HERE about our first meeting, sweet memory!!!!

For the month of April, CCCB is doing our tradition challenge CASE ME IF YOU CAN, pop over to City Crafter Challenge Blog to check out the card Ros made for us....

and this is my take.....

I picked up the watercolor element on that beautiful card of Ros..... and the colors too.

since I am already there, I might as well make a few....

Parsley, Safe, Rosemary and Thyme

oh since the stamp set is out, a coupon more with a different feel to it, no watercolors, just solid plain cardstock.

Oh ya, we have a prize this week, head over to City Crafter to see more of this week's beauties!!!!

products used on the cards above -

The stitched frame die is from Cutplorations

The herb stamp set is HeroArts

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 324 ~ Synchronised Swim

Today at City Crafter Challenge Blog, Marina picked this as our inspiration photo...

and my card was inspired by the blue water..... thought water color background would be fun...

this set of cards is for Clare....

she recently moved back to Valentia to be closer to her music school...

I had a few using cream cardstock too...

 

all packed nicely with postage, I hope Clare find it useful

More fun things in San Francisco and CCCB 292

More fun things in San Francisco

Cable Car - A Must, especially this is my sister's first trip (December 8, 2015)

and it was fun for me as well, regardless how many times I have been to San Francisco.

I love the redwood, I love being in Muir Woods National Monument, it makes me feel happy and calm, even we have to wear the ugly $3 poncho. (December 9, 2015)

my sister took vanity to the highest level as she refused to put on one because it would look ugly, she claimed.

Sausalito is beautiful as always, even when the sky is grey.

we ended day two in San Francisco with Ghirardelli Square, here's that girl posting in front of the vintage car right outside Loris diner.

I am actually at Yosemite National Park today, it is beautiful in the winter, I hope I can share some photos soon but for now, a project for City Crafter Challenge Blog

Theme this week...

The Heat is On!

(check out challenge details HERE)

forgot to take close up picture for the stamped and heat embossed text before I leave home.

this card set is for my friend Naomi, she is from Kyoto, Japan, the words on the tiny tag 手作りmeans handmade in Japanese. Naomi come to Vegas 2-3 times a year, she likes to play poker too.

Ok, I am going to take a rest and then out for dinner, thanks for stopping by. Check out City Crafter Challenge Blog for more fun!
