I showed this without the wheels to my 5 year old son who is a toy train addict, and he said it looked like a baby crib. Haha.
PaperWorks Co. Ultimate Summer Challenge #4 – Technique is to design your own background paper. I made this for my DT project for the challenge. I thought I had to use PWCO animal stamps to create the background paper. And, I figured a train full of animals would be a fun project to make.
Stamp the image on the cardstock.
Keep stamping!
Color with markers
Create a box with the hand stamped cardstock.

It’s animal train box. I was hoping to share the template with you on this post, but I got lazy as usual. Any advice on how to overcome procrastination?
Thanks for stopping by!

I love fantasy layouts created with digital scrapbooking kits. And, to improve my skill, I recently took a Shadows class by Miss Behaving. I thought I understood everything right after her class. But, I was so embarrassed how little I remembered the techniques I learned as I was working on this layout. Definitely need to practice more.

12×12 scrapbook layout created for PaperWorks Co. blog.
The photo was taken last December for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I don’t remember why it was only a frosting-less cupcake instead of a nicely decorated cake. I’m sure I bought her the one with frosting, but can’t remember what we did or didn’t do for her birthday. *sigh* Why is my memory getting worse!

I made this card to participate Let’s Capture Our Memories challenge – Die Cuts. Inspired by my friend, Corinne‘s punch flower card. She is a LCOM DT and I’ve been wanting to participate their challenges ever since she joined the team.
I was trying to create a video tutorial for how to make this chrysanthemum, but it didn’t work out. I re-took “Hi, I’m going to show you how to make this flower with Sizzix, ummmm…., blah, blah, blah… ” over and over again. I didn’t think it was that hard to make the video tutorial, but it wasn’t something I could do it without practice. Mumbling in my head was easy, but saying out loud was not comfortable. I wasn’t sure I was using the right word. I thought writing for the blog was hard, but the video was even more challenging. And, I wanted to be a movie star when I was growing up! Thank goodness I didn’t pursue that dream, hehe. I have soooo much more respect for all the crafters who make video tutorial.
Die cut flowers: Sizzix Bigz Die - Flower, Daisies #2
10 small, 6 medium, 6 large flowers. You could add more layers, I just didn’t have the patience and my fingers were aching from all crumbling, hehe.
Using the cardstock papers that have different colors on each side would be pretty, too.
Fold a small flower into half.
Then, roll it together.
Fold another small flower in half.
Wrap it around the first flower.
I used some glue to secure the side and the bottom.
Squished it on the desk to make it curl in.
Now, add the third flower around the first two.
This is the bottom of the flower.
When adding a new layer, make sure not to align the petals with the front layer.
Keep adding more layers. Wrinkle it with your fingers to shape.

Oops!… I Did It Again

I made this card back in June for a dear friend who completely understands my scrapbook/stamp shopping addiction.
Well…
Today is my dear hubby’s birthday and I forgot.
It’s not my first time forgetting his birthday. I did it last year, too. It’s not entirely my fault though. Hehe. He didn’t remind me that it was his birthday! Hehe. And I didn’t even make him a breakfast nor packed him lunch today. I asked him to get some Popeye’s for dinner! What a wife!
Only reason I remembered later today that I forgot his b-day was I happened to check my day planner. I called 4 different local Michael’s stores to see if they have the new pink ATG adhesive runner, and all of the stores had no idea what i was asking for. I was frustrated being on hold for so long on the phone, I went to two different M stores to check it myself after the dinner. They did not have it. All sold out. I found out from a guy who was in charge of inventory that the closest M store that has ATG is about 2 hours from my house. He told me to call him back on Monday, and he’ll put one on hold for me. Nice guy! Anyway, I was so tired from my craft shopping, I decided to get some coffee at Panera Bread around 9pm. I sat down with my coffee and decided to update my day planner, and saw on the calendar. I marked my hubby’s b date down, but I rarely check my day planner so I forgot. Guess I won’t be getting anything for my birthday this year. Well, living with a understanding man like my hubby is a birthday present itself, right! Hehe.
Please, tell me that I’m not the only wife forgetting her husband’s birthday!
