A special day!

3 in 1 birthday card

 

Last friday was my dear husband's birthday!So i surprised him with a cake,gifts and my handmade card to encourage him.(my personal card for him is not posted yet)

I made this one so our friends can write their greetings and encouragements too...

                  

This is a 3-in-1 card..i thought it would be convenient to hold just one piece of card with lots of spaces to write. I cut 3 different sizes of cards. Put embellishment on each. Then i used a puncher to make 2 holes on the side to tie them together using raffia and added beads on it. To add more space, i made an extra pocket at the back of the card with small pieces of plain tags. Easy? You can try it too..                                                                              

So I passed this card around before our church gathering starts while Eugene was busy talking to other brothers but unfortunately he noticed it..hahaha! but still I was so glad that it was all filled up with so much encouragements from our friends.He was excited to find out and read what they wrote for him....we get to celebrate his birthday together with the group and sang the famous birthday song for his special day.Thank you to all who made my husband's birthday memorable=)

Happy birthday my dear!(",)

Appreciating Nature

Aside from painting,drawing, arts & crafts..i also love photography. Everytime my digital camera is with me, i will always look for opportunity to get a picture of a subject that i really love..i know that only through photographs that i can capture that very moments of beauty. Everyday is different when you look at nature through lens..it moves & it changes.
It was summer in Chicago, my husband and i decided to have some time out with our friends. We were very excited because i know for sure that i will get to see wonderful and beautiful things. It was our first time in Chicago Botanic Garden and i'm very glad that i took the time to capture these gorgeous flowers during our visit there last year..i appreciate God's creation much more everytime i take the moment to stare at them and look for a great angle to capture its beauty...These are just few of my flower photos, i made them a little brighter to show their details..wish i have a DSLR.=) i'll be posting some of my sunset collection next time..=)
Have a great week!
