Happy Monday everyone, this is our last week of school holidays. The kiddos will start school next Tuesday!! Cannot believe that now I have 2 high-school kiddos :O . My daughter started her grade 1 here, and she is in grade 10 now, and my son started his grade2 and in grade 11, the time passed by in a blink!!! So much has happened and changed in the last few years. I was barely 30 when I first arrived here, my kiddos were upto my waist, and now both are quite taller than me!!! I miss the toddler days so badly!! I thought when they would grow up, I would worry bit less, but my worries for them have grown with their age. Now the BIG worry is thinking about college!! It is barely within an year that my son will have to start applying for college, he already wrote PSAT last year, this year he will write SATs.
Sorry to take you all off topic, I guess I got bit carried away.
Ok to the cards now. Sharing 2, I have quite a few waiting to see the light.
The first one is made almost 2 weeks back. Finally sharing it today. It was made inspired by the STAMPlorations CAS challenge.
I chose all whites here, used the trendy feathers and heat embossed in gold, and then cut it along the edge, and added a gold strip on the base, and the front is added, the sentiment is also from STAMPloration, other set...I forgot the name. It is very simple card.

---------------------------------
The second card is also sitting for about a week. I started with a water color paper and heat embossed the Mama elephant - freestyle florals in white embossing powder, and then used the zigmarkers to add color.
I stamped the circles strip using Uniko Studio - geometric stamps.
The sentiment is from CASual Fridays - hope ribbon set. I felt something was missing, so added the hearts tape to match up with the sentiment on the top. A few jewels to finish off

ReplyDeleteIt's always such a treat to catch up on your blog, Rahmat! You've got a parade of excellent cards, one after the other! Your opening paragraph here was said so well in terms of how time flies as far as kids growing up and about how the worries just get bigger as they get bigger! Parenting is so rewarding, but it is a stressful JOB, too!! Enjoy the little moments!! Hugs, Darnell
