happy CNY!

0 comments Posted by connie at 9:49 AM

its the chinese new year.
my road is just full of lights.
but its kinda weird to have blue and green lights together.
i think they just reused their christmas lights.
'
my family did the decorations as well.
usual kiasu attitude.
haha. its always like that at this particular road.


the view from my home:


well, i did the deco for ISCA.
i did the ones i saw and posted on my blog.
just that i used cny colours.



the whole bag of onions!!!
that's what my mum calls them!!
and guess how much did they all cost??


RM 8.00 !



i made 7 big ones, 6 small ones.
including the frills.u'd probably notice the stuff i do
like in art or cooking
are terribly easy and less-talent needed stuff.
that's what i like to do.
not to mention making them cheap.
wakaka. it's a shopaholic instinct.
'
happy chinese new year everyone!
think about getting slimmer after the new year la.
why torture yourself??
( another excuse for me to eat )
'
'
'
And its my year THIS YEAR!!!!
its the MOO MOO YEAR PPL!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! hehe.

blusher on cards!!!

0 comments Posted by connie at 12:36 AM

Wilson as always likes to call me last minute! He just called me the day before to ask me to make this card and....he just called me like just now saying that he'll be going to redbox on monday! which is a bummer because i have school!!!

And Wilson was like," eh, you ponteng school can a not? I write letter for you saying u have a singing competition at....."

I finished his sentence," ...redbox la! And you wanna be my dad is it? "


In the end, when i'm in class alertly listening to the teacher on Monday, OF and Wilson will be singing their lungs out....swinging the mics and breaking every glass cup...haha, no offence Wilz, I'm just wanna be there doing the stupid things i mentioned just now!!!!

Fine.... Back to topic....
I just wanted to show you a card a made for pastor.

I was kinda afraid to bring it out actually...Because sam would usually guide me in art stuff same as i would do for him. But he just decided to keep his mouth shut, cos' he had to study. So that leaves me all alone to be criticized...



Well, phew! the gals thought it was sweet COS it was pink and polka-ish......

BUT!!!! YT had to say,
" Why you draw Pastor so young wan? "
*
" What's wrong with drawing her young? "
( helllo, *knock,knock* ladies don't like to look old! especially on their b'day cards!)
*
" No la, but it doesnt look like her ma... "
*
That just blew it!
" To you, everything must be accurate, precise and exact la!! "

Mookie and Benice were laughing their heads off, but that precise-exact-accurate-guy just-so-happened to be not listening to me...Come to think of it, its better too....at least i'm still tot of as a demure gal.^^
*
Then only...." huh? what did connie say? "
*
Mookie- " owh, she said something which was very sarcastic for her level."
(which is so so so true! I seldom do that)
*
" Really? I wanna hear. "
*
" Don't need to know, I wouldn't wanna repeat."

gosh, i'm going way off my topic...

Oh ya, the pinkie powder for the cheeks are actually real blushers! I know, Mookie gave that look too! My mum didn't want them so she gave them to me. I didn't steal or wat la! It looks fine actually, darker colour than chalk and more moisturised making it easier to stick on paper.

This is Connie's Art Trick for the Week!!

And i soo have to put this up in the post!

Its Print Day!

Gals in Print!! haha...we deliberately had to put our handphones to self-timer mode to take this photo!
~moo~

MACM - Calling all artsy ppl!!

0 comments Posted by connie at 9:45 AM

i SOOOO wanna blog about this website, its soo cool!!
if you're an artsy person and loves making cards, i totally recommend that you watch her videos...

MACM= make a card monday ( its on my link list )

i didnt get MACM at first...( only realised that she uploads her videos every monday ) and i'm her loyal fan ^^ woohoo!

BUT the main problem is the materials she uses is either too expensive in Ringgit ( blame it on our exchange rate) or we just cant find it here...

Well, just use your creative art sense to improvise!
I just adore the stamps, punches and (*drum roll).... THE EMBOSSING POWDER!!
the embossing powder just melts when it receives heat... ( hairdryer- that's what she uses )
and you just use your stamps to stamp out any design using VERSA WATER INK, then just put the embossing powder over it...

aiya...just look at her videos lar... ( try 25 August, she didnt use the powder on 2 Sep. )

well, enjoy them and pls leave a message if you're her fan too!!

~moo~
