Wedding Gift for "Carol & Niel" (my sister's friend)

I was fortunate to witness my young sis'

friend's wedding last 20tH of December 2012.

For their wedding,

my mom asked me to help her

create a wedding keepsake

for the newly wed couple,

aside from the monetary gift my mom prepared.

Here's what I managed to come up with my mom

for a wedding keepsake:

"Sounds of the Season" Christmas Card for Let's Make Greeting Cards

This is my 5th & last handcrafted card for Let's Make Greeting Cards.  The theme I had to work with is "Christmas".

I believe Christmas is and should always be a bright, happy, festive and a merry occasion.  With everyone happily taking part in the preparation until the day after the occasion.  

For me, Christmas is usually in colors of red and green.  But for my card, I opted and wanted things to be sparkling to denote a wonderful festivity or occasion.  Thus, I added gold trimmings and accents.  Don't worry these are all from my stash and some are from scraps.

My handmade Christmas card:

SUPPLIES:  White Textured Cardstock: DCWV; Die Cut Frame: Lily Bee Design – Christmas Town; Banner Stickers: Lily Bee Design – Christmas Town; Sentiment Sticker: Lily Bee Design – Christmas Town; Gold Holly Christmas Décor: National Bookstore; Other: Gold Satin Ribbon (from scraps)

More Bazaars Joined last November 2012

Hi, there!

I'm just wheeling in and have quite took

a rest from the bazaar scene this month of Dec. '12.

I would like to share with you what I mostly did

last November - joining bazaars.

Well, not quite that many. . . 

just the affordable and manageable ones for me.

Here's the 1st one:

MIRIAM COLLEGE BAZAAR

Nov. 15 - 17, 2012

(I sent in my handmade cards to sell 

to help a charitable cause of PCA)

-- I was surprised to be churning

50 handmade Christmas cards to sell at the said bazaar -

Here's the 2nd one:

HP BAZAAR

(I had baked goods, handmade cards &

some gift items to gift bags to sell)

-- The chocolate crinkles was a sell-out and

Very truly yours,
