In the works …

I have a few cards in progress (none of them completely done) so I decided to post a few up. I’ve always enjoyed drawing on cards but I’m pretty much a novice when it comes to creating cards. Hopefully with more practice, I’ll get better at this thing!

Very simple and mountain-man chic. Some of my cards will be very simple whereas some others will be intricate in detail.

Another simple, brown paper bag-esque style. Still need to decorate the inside of the card. This one won’t need an envelope as the last picture shows where you can put the addresses/stamp. The card will be folded within itself.

My heavily decorated purple card with a pull-out note. This one will go inside of an envelope. D preferred it without the big yellow heart but I just needed something to POP. Maybe I’ll make the heart smaller or use a muted color instead of the yellow.

Anyway, more to come soon!

Another pointless post with pictures!

These were taken with my DSLR (click for the full version). I’m not posting these because I think they represent any skill I may have; all of these can be taken by a novice (which I am) with a point-and-shoot. I just picked these pictures because they’re colorful and clear! But I think during this process (of picture taking mania), you’ll find out quite a bit about me.

Colors, colors, and more colors!

1) My Omega-3 Gummi-Vitamins;
2) Tabs on one of my old nursing textbooks;
3) Stack of books I adore!

Getting back to my arts-n-crafts! Those little boxes are containers for thin mints/jellybeans or trinkets. They’re easy to make!
The card is what I just started working on; it’s about 20% done. I’ll be posting some pictures of my card-creations.

My parents came back from Asia (Japan, China, and Korea) bearing many gifts.  However, two really stood out: my uncle sent a digital photo frame because he found out I’ve been getting into photography!  Nifty little sucker, that frame.  I can’t wait to upload 298374234 of my pictures and let those babies play! My parents brought these anchovy “chips” from Korea; they bought a big bag of ‘em at the open market. At first I just rolled my eyes because they looked disgusting but after trying one, I was hooked!  They taste a little spicy, too.

(Taken with my iPhone and MacBook.) I don’t know if everyone I’ve been hanging out with has noticed but I permed my hair.  I was anti-perm for so long but finally decided oh why not! I like it because it gives my hair volume. I really need to get rid of that orangey patch of hair, I know.  In the second picture, I’m covering my right cheek to minimize the look of my chipmunk cheeks (due to extra sodium ingestion these days). Also, I have a pimple on my right jawline. -_- (My bf thinks I’m totally trying to fake not having these bulbous cheeks o’mine by strategically placing my hair+hand over the side of my face but whatever … he’s the one who LIKES fatty cheeks!)

I’ll be back with more random pictures this week!
