Ooo... a white Christmas!


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Life has been crazily busy recently; work deadlines, house move, routine changes and others. Hence, my stick n' stuck had suffered slightly. Sorry, everyone. Hopefully, this newbie is a sufficient peace offering. :)

My card this week is 'ice cream parfait'. Weather in UK had been so crappy recently, that I had not seen much of Mr Sunshine. So, I decided to have a really colorful little treat, and desserts always bring a smile to me. Hope the treat will warm you up, despite the cold weather we are in now.

A cream A6 card with a stuck-on colourful stripy 'Twirl' card stock (by WMRK) formed the card base. A specially selected ice cream treat was inked (from Woodware stamps 'Ice Cream Parfait') and pencil-coloured on scalloped white card. The card was then distressed with Distress Ink 'Old Paper' to give a vintage look. The birthday wish was inked in Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and embossed for a shiny finish. The ice cream and birthday wish were then assembled and accessorised with Anita's gemstones, a raised cherry and cocktail umbrella. This was finished with light mint velvet scalloped ribbon, topped with silver glitters.

Isn't this just delicious? A treat for the gloomy day... :)

I was trying to find inspiration for a birthday card for a dear friend living in Texas. But inspiration was proving stubbon these days. So, I started throwing a few random things together. And voila... there appeared by buzzing birthday wishes. I liked how it appeared tan, dry and semi-wild... my impression of Texas. :)

The base cardstock is from the 'White Out' collection - 'Explore Rucksack' (by We R Memory Keepers - WRMK). Then on goes my 'Flower Patch' glitter lace (by WRMK as well). The lace required tremendous effort, as they were relatively flimsy and sticky throughout. But, managed it at the end.. phew!! Next, bare raffia (by Papermania) was tied around with a massive ribbon. And on top of this lied the birthday sentiment, which was stamped using 'Everyday Button Bits' by Papertrey Ink with Memento inks (Rich Cocoa, Bamboo Leaves and Cottage Ivy). The finishing touches included green and yellow gemstones (by Anita's) and last but not least, my embossed bumble bee (from WRMK 'Twirl' collection). Tada... :)

It worked out quite well, I would say.. Happy birthday, missy! Now to get it there on time.. Haha!

LoVe iS SimPLe...

Recently, we celebrated the wedding of Rachel and Alan, great friends who love simple things in life, but always fill life up with great adventures. To celebrate their union, we have this simple card - cream pearlised card with the corners rounded off, congratulations ribbon (by East of India) and french rose coloured embossed button heart sticker (by 'We R Memory Keepers' - Sweet Things).

Fabulous wedding, Rachel and Alan! Wishing you every happiness with great adventures ahead! Congratulations!

oPpOsiTeS...

Life is about opposites... up and down, good and bad, right and wrong, etc. So, this will be my concept this week. Two cards have been created using the same rubber stamp - Alota 'Girl with Doll'. Card 1 is about happiness, while Card 2 portrays sadness/illness. Come on and let's explore...

Card 1

This card had a black contrast background, subsequently accentuated with 'Nonsense - Jingle-Jangle Paper' from We R Memory Keepers (White Out Collection). Then embroidery threads (DMC 819 - light baby pink and DMC 899 - medium rose) were knotted at 2/3 of the card height. Alota, stamped on white card stock and pencil-coloured in warm tones, was then stuck on. She was also showing some sign of distressed by using Distress Ink 'Old Paper'. This was done to complement the 'White Out Collection' used. The finishing touches included multi-colour gemstones (by Anita's) on opposite corners and the sentiment 'Wishing you every happiness' adhered with 3D foam stickers. The sentiment was stamped using Heartfelt Basics (by Papertrey Ink) onto shiny card stock in Memento inks.

 Card 2

'Sweet Floral' (by Colorbok) and 'Scattered Clouds' (by We R Memory Keepers - 72 & Sunny Collection) were used as backgrounds. The 'Scattered Clouds' was trimmed with 'Pointy #1 Frame' (by Go Kreate). Alota, stamped onto scalloped white card stock and pencil-coloured in cooler shades, was then stuck on. The card was then finished with yellow satin ribbon (by Dovecraft), grey clouds (adhered using 3D foam stickers) and sentiment 'Hope you are feeling better' (by Papertrey Ink - 'Everday Button Bits').

So, what do you think? Opposites or not? :)

jUst pUrrFeCt...

This week, I am feeling adventurous, looking to try a new technique (i.e. colour-embossing). I was slightly apprehensive initially as there could be discoloration on the embossing folder if things were to go wrong. However, all went well and we have 'Just Purrfect' this week.

For the colour-embossing technique, the embossing folder (Cuttlebug 'Kimmy Luvs') was first inked in Memento Lady Bug and then embossed onto a white cardstock to give red-bordered loves. This was then framed by a deep brown cardstock to give a highlight feature. Next, a feline (by We R Memory Keepers - Tiffany Collection 'Purrfect clear stamps') was inked in Memento Tuxedo Black and pencil-coloured. She was then accessorised with multi-colour gemstones (by Anita's) around the cat collar and blue gemstones for the eyes. The feline was then stuck onto the embossed love frame with 3D foam stickers.

The card was assembled as follow: Pink/brown stripy ribbon (by American Crafts Premium Ribbon) to create a L-shape border, which was then accessorised with a 1.5 cm love brad and 7 gemstones (colour-coordinated with the feline's collar). The framed feline was then positioned in the middle, with a 'just purrfect' phrase adhered to the top as a final touch.

So, for a perfect one, with all my love...

hAppY sUmmEr!!!

Carrying on with the summer theme, I had chosen to make a congratulatory card this week - associating sun with happy occasions. A scalloped background was cut onto a summery stripy paper by Colorbok 'Sweet Blooms'. Next, a three-tiered flower was die-cut and softly embossed using Go Kreate 'Concentrics die' and finished with a embossed flower sticker (by We R Memory Keepers ' Twirl collection'). A red bee (also by We R Memory Keepers, 'Ribbit clear stamps') was then inked in Memento 'Lady Bug' and spotted flying around the flower. The card was then completed with a soft pink border-Congratulations ribbon (by East of India) and a wiggly white ribbon (by John Lewis) just underneath.

So.. a summery flowery card to celebrate a happy occasion this week!

tWeeT twEeT...

Summer is always fabulous. Weather is great. Sales are on. What more can I ask for? :)

So, this week I had been playing with my recent purchases and decided to use summer as the theme inspiration. The card featured two birdies hopping around on a blooming pasture, enjoying the atmosphere as well as each other. The wild colourful background is by We R Memory Keepers 'White Out Collection' (Nonsense - Ding Dong). Then, my glittery birdies (from Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons) had their tail, beak and feet stamped in various Memento inks (using Papertrey ' Everday Button Bits'). The pasture was then pencil-coloured and blooms were decorated with Anita's gemstones in four different colours. Absolutely adore Anita's gemstones (come in a wheel with twelve unique colours at a decent price)! Final touches included a rainbow colour ribbon (by John Lewis) and a simple message inked using the same stamp set to tie everything in - just a little something this summer! :)

May I present the gorgeous little birdies... :)

Special this week...

I had been back to Jam Jar Beads for another jewellery making class. For this week's special, we have yummy treats, made from polymer clay. The class was good fun, although it was much harder than I thought. However, it did bring back childhood memories of playing with Playdoh. :) To make it real, the polymer clay treats were baked for 20 mins to harden before serving.

So, my jewellery theme is desserts; (from clockwise) chocolate/blueberry cheesecake with cherry on top, malteser, easter egg, chocolate/raspberry praline, chocolate bar, marshmallows, and finally fondant icing cake. Don't they look yummy? Would you like a taste? :)

But, the question now is what do I do with them? Don't think food jewellery is really my thing. So, I'll take any suggestions/requests. :) To set the ideas flowing, my first pair of cheesecake earrings...

Tada... enjoy... :)

mY hOme sWeeT hOmE...

I have been missing home recently. And this has inspired the card of the week; a simple 'home sweet home' design to reflect the simplicity and importance of our homes in our hearts.

To start... a colourful flowery glittering backdrop by We R Memory Keepers 'Bloom & Grow' was used for this card. This was then accentuated with a beige scalloped card stock with a home stamped in Memento 'Rich Cocoa' using Woodware Craft Collection 'Home Sweet Home' and pencil-coloured. A yellow satin ribbon (by Dovecraft) then highlighted the warmth of the home. Finally, a simple "home sweet home" message, stamped using Woodware on white paper and accessorised with yellow and pink gemstones (by Anita's), was adhered using 3D foam stickers. The message was also embossed with clear powder to give a glossy finish to match the glittery background.

So, this is it... my home sweet home... 



tHE sPeeDy tOrToiSe....

The card of the week is dedicated to my lovely husband, who celebrated his 29th last week. In line with my cheeky nature, I had chosen a speedy tortoise for his card due to his love for BMW cars. :) The tortoise is a little reminder of slow and steady also winning the race.

So, the tortoise is stamped on cream card stock in Memento 'Bamboo Leaves' using Woodware Craft Collection 'Home Sweet Home' and pencil-coloured. They are then given a frame in moss green and hunter green card stocks. This is coupled with a colorful banner stamped using Papertrey Ink 'Banner Builder' stamp set and stuck on using 3D-foam stickers onto a sky blue scalloped card stock. The sentiment chosen is from Papertrey Ink 'Everyday Button Bits', which fits perfectly with our relationship nature - 'Our growing love'.

But most importantly, the final touch is in the BMW emblem carried by our Mr Speedy Tortoise. :)



Isn't he cute? Hehe... :) Happy birthday, dear!

cLaSsY biRtHdAy...

Goal of the week is to design a birthday card for a classy lady. She is a great friend, who had travelled miles to attend my wedding last year. This has meant a lot. My card style has always been cutesy and pretty so far. So, this will be a new challenge. But, I think it turned out rather well. I am liking the card of the week. What do you think?



For the card today, I have chosen a pearlised cream tall card, and used a floral damask aqua wrapping paper (purchased from John Lewis) as background. The damask paper has a soft velvety pattern, that helps give the classy feeling. The card is then topped with three inchies stamped using Hero Arts 'Thank You Flourishes' stamp in 'Memento' and 'Clearly Better' inks. They are then framed in baby blue and sky blue squares, to tie in the aqua background. 'Sending birthday wishes' (from Papertrey 'Everyday Button Bits') completes the classy look. :)
 

So... a classy card for a classy friend... :)

biRtHdAY RidE...

More attempts with my new toys from the USA. :) Card of the week is dedicated to my sister, wishing her a Happy 25th Birthday. She has marked this ocassion with a life-changing decision. I hope she will enjoy the ride and remember that it is the journey that counts. Happy birthday, sis!

Sky blue card stock formed the background for this card, with triangular celebratory banners (stamped and die-cut using Papertrey 'Banner Builder' set). A red bicycle (by Papertrey 'Everyday Button Bits') was stamped onto cream scalloped card stock with Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons used as the red and pink wheels. The bicycle was also decorated with balloons and lined with a yellow gold ribbon (from American Craft 'Page Kit Baby') to celebrate the joyous ocasssion. The card was then completed with two messages - 'Enjoy the ride' (by Papertrey 'Everyday Button Bits') and 'Hoping all your birthday wishes come true' (by Papertrey 'Heartfelt Basics').

A simple, but lovely card with vibrant colours - fit for a courageous and wonderful sister with a BIG heart. :) Love you loads, sis.

hAppY mUmmY's dAY...

Welcome back. Hope you had a good Easter break. It was fabulous to hang out with my friends from Malaysia and USA over the break. My USA friend has been kind enough to bring over some new toys for me. I am so excited and this is my first attempt using the new stamps.

It is a relatively simple card, designed for my Mummy as it is Mother's Day in Malaysia today. So, to start... a flowery background from Colorbok 'Sweet Blooms' was used with a cream cardstock stuck on the front. Flower stems and two stray leaves (from Papertrey Ink 'Everyday Button Bits' stamp set) were inked in Memento 'Bamboo Leaves'. A few different colours and sizes of Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons were used as the flowers. The card was then finished off with two sweet messages (using Papertrey Ink 'Heartfelt Basics' stamp set) in Memento 'Tuxedo Black'.

  

Ta da... a simple sweet card for Mummy dearest. Thank you, Mummy for being you and we love you always. :) Hope you like it...

eaSteR bReaK...

Hello all. A little note to say that I'll be taking a break from posting for the rest of April. With Easter round the corner, my friends are visiting from USA and Malaysia. So, will be busy catching up with them.

Have a good Easter, everyone. Catch you again in May! :)

a SpRinG biRthDaY...

Spring has officially arrived. We are having superbly warm weather (by UK standards) the last few days. This has inspired me to go with a spring theme birthday card this week.

Ermm... Not entirely sure on the outcome though. Because the design feels a bit dated to me. What do you think?

So, for the card... the background was embossed with a woodgrain pattern (by Craft Concepts) to tie in the nature theme. Two light green leaves were cut from felt and decorated with four fabric flowers (by WHSmith). The flower cores were accentuated with Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons buttons. Some bare raffia (by Docrafts Papermania) were then added to give the card a more 3D feel. And two shiny butterflies were also added to bring in the spring feeling. :)

The final touch for the card is the 'Happy B'Day' message (cut using Provo Craft 'Birthday wishes' die) and stuck onto a cream cardstock with light pink frame. Three roses from 'Build a cupcake' layered die (by Papermania) was added to complete the spring look.

Tada... the spring birthday card. ;) 

bAbY gAL...

Recently, a lot of my friends are entering the next stage of their lives - i.e. having babies. This is a wonderful experience for them, yet I am sure it is rather scary as great responsibilities are to be have for bringing another life into this world. Hence, I want to congratulate my friends on having their little ones and wish them all the best for the adventure ahead.

The card of the week is for baby gals. The baby with its rubber duck and heart were die-cut with Provocraft Baby Die and coloured with pencil colours. The pink/white polka dot and yellow gold ribbon are made into borders from American Craft 'Page Kit Baby', with the flowery background from Colorbok 'Sweet Blooms'. Finally, a colourful 'Congratulations' is inked using Memento Inks onto pink card stock and hung onto the card with pastel flower mini brads.

Isn't this sweet? Congratulations to all my parent-to-be friends. Perhaps... a baby boy card next week... hmmmm...

P/S Sorry for missing a post last week. I was away in Berlin and then Harrogate for workshops, hence didn't manage to get any time for papercraft. Sorry :)



eNdLesS oPPoRtuNitiEs...

Recently, a lot of my family and friends are looking for new adventures in their careers. Given the uncertainties we face in the current economy, it got me thinking... and I guess we all ponder on the issue of "stick n' stuck" - to stick to what we do and ride out the waves or to feel stuck where we are.

In the end, I think my family and friends are courageous and they have decided to explore the opportunities out there. So, to wish them all the best and may they find the adventure they are looking for, it has inspired this week's card - The sky is the limit. I guess what I want to convey is... the sky is vast, giving us endless opportunities as long as we will look for them.

So... three shades of blue with scalloped edges form the 3D sky with lightly blue-inked white clouds. The balloons are from Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons, with brown card stock baskets. The quote is inked on beige card stock using Memento Inks in yellow, orange, red, blue and green - to give a rainbow feeling. And finally, the card is accessorised with a yellow satin ribbon (from Dovecraft Creative Ribbon) and blue rhinestones (by WHSmith).

All the best, my dearies... :)

biRtHdAY cUpcAKes...

As promised, this is my second card using the 'Build a cupcake' layered die (by Papermania). This time, I decided to go with the obvious birthday card design. The embossed candles are imprinted onto a cream cardstock using the Cuttlebug 'Birthday Wish - A2 embossing folder and die cut set'. A red paper belt (with three scalloped edges) was then adhered over the candles. Cupcakes were cut from scrap papers from previous projects and subsequently stuck on using foam stickers. 'Happy Birthday' in Memento Lady Bug on a light grey cardstock and two 5 mm red rhinestones (from WHSmith) added the finishing touch to the birthday card.

Tada... The cupcakes look absolutely yummy. I am having cravings now... :)



biRtHdaY moNSteR...

My little brother celebrated his birthday a few days ago. This inspired me to have another go at making a boyish birthday card. When you think of little brothers, they always seem to be cheeky, spoilt, naughty little monsters... (although my brother is definitely not). :) But, I decided to go along with this concept and used the cheeky monster as the theme of the week.

My cheeky monster was stamped on a shimmering white card in Memento Bamboo Leaves using 'Hello, friend' (by Daisy Bucket Designs) and then modified to incorporate a birthday wish instead (in Memento Tangelo). He was then pencil coloured to highlight his quirky facial expression and decorated with light green buttons (from Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons). The scalloped background and word 'your' are a set by Colorbok Sweet Floral collection - absolutely adore the Sweet Floral collection for its soft colours. Finally, cheeky monster is completed with Lax Glitter Letter Stickers (by American Crafts) emphasizing your special DAY in glamour.

So, there you go.. a cheeky birthday wish for my little monster brother. :) Happy birthday, bro!

SwEeT tHinGs iN LiFe...

I bought some new toys last week and had been giving one of them some test run. It's 'Build a cupcake' layered die (by Papermania), as shown below. The beauty of this is you can mix and match and hence create your ideal cupcake. :)

'Build a cupcake' taken by Craft U Love

So, my first cupcake design is entitled 'My Sweet'. It has Sweet Blooms (by Colorbok) as the background, with 'My Sweet' spelt out using Sweet Floral punchouts (by Colorbok) which were then stuck onto lemon satin sheer ribbon (by Paperchase). I think this is now oozing with plenty of sweetness - which is purely coincidental. Didn't realise the materials were from a sweetness collection during card making. :)

I really like this die. Can't wait to use it again for other designs. Any suggestions? :)



SpEciaL - faBriC aCCessOrieS

Special this week...

Last Saturday, I attended a Fabric Accessories class at Jam Jar Beads, Sheffield. The teacher, Lucia, was fabulous - very creative and friendly. She explained the concept of making the accessories and then gave us the freedom to explore. Initially, everything seemed a bit scary - so many options, so many materials. Hmm... what should I make?

Ultimately, I made three pieces. Tada... which is your favourite?

1) Ocean beach bead necklace, with ribbon finish

Thank you YW for modelling the necklace! :)

2) Autumn wrap-around bangle

3) Cutesy vintage ribbon brooch

I really enjoyed the class and can't wait to attend others. Wonder what's next... hmmm... :)

 

a LoVE ShOwer...

Valentine's Day is tomorrow! It's a day of love and cherish. Sometimes I wonder - is Valentine's meant for lovers only or can this love be extended to our parents, siblings, family and friends?

Personally, we should show our love to the special people in our lives as often as we can. But most of us are often swarmed with responsibilities and continuously stressed, that we sometimes neglect our loved ones. So, perhaps Valentine's Day is here to remind us to love, cherish and be thankful for the loves that we have.

So, to celebrate Valentine's Day, let me present 'A Love Shower'... The white background had been embossed with Cuttlebug Embossing Folder (Kimmy Luvs), while 'Walking in the Rain' by Alota was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on white art paper. The sweet girl was further trimmed with Nellie's Rectangle Multiframe and stuck onto a heart red card. The finishing touch tied the love in with a checkered pink ribbon.

A close up of our heroine.. isn't she sweet? She had been painted with colour pencils, and accessorised with a bright yellow cut-out umbrella.

  

Tada!!! Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.. with all my love..

tHe rAbbIT yeAr - CNY TaKe 2

As promised, this is the second posting on CNY cards. The theme is still the same - cherry blossom flowers. However, the aim is to incorporate more CNY colours into the cards - mainly warm colours like red, orange, yellow and gold. The colour of red signifies good luck according to Chinese customs.

So, the first card has a red background with gold cherry blossoms, coupled with a off-white lace ribbon. The stem is a repeating pattern from Hero Arts 'Thank You Flourishes' stamp set. This card is very subtle - suitable for CNY, as well as other occasions.

The next card uses rhinestones (from WHSmith) as the pollen centers, with a yellow ribbon (from American Crafts Page Kit Baby) as a divider. It wishes the recipient 'gong xi fa cai' and 'happy CNY'. 'Gong xi fa cai' is a 'congratulatory and prosperity' wish on this joyous new year.

Last but not least, a landscape-oriented card with orange flowery background (by Dovecraft - Kate Knight 'Wild Blossom' collection). I think the green cherry blossoms with yellow gold centers stand out quite well on the chosen background. Love the finish look.. :)

So, that's all of my CNY cards for this Rabbit year 2011. Thank you for reading. Hope you like them as much as I enjoy making them. So, which is your favourite? Out of the 5 cards, I am torn between Cards 1 and 3. Hmmm... anyway, wishing you a prosperous and happy 2011. Gong xi fa cai!

ChiNeSE neW YeAR - TaKe 1

This year, we celebrate the beginning of the Rabbit year on 3 February. This gives me an excuse to try my skills at oriental-themed cards. :) Also, it is nearly impossible to buy adorable Chinese New Year (CNY) cards in the UK.

Previous attempts at CNY cards have always ended in tears. Hopefully, this year will be better. Let me know what you think.

So, I have decided to use cherry blossom as my main theme this year. This is because cherry blossom always remind me of CNY. Additionally, it was used to decorate my wedding banquet recently. So there is an extra sentimental value. :)

(Image taken by Jenn of http://www.stormfront.org/)

 My cherry blossom flowers are hand-folded according to origami, as shown in WonderHowTo. The papers used have been a present from a great friend. I finally manage to use the papers appropriately. ;) I think the cherry blossom flowers turn out quite well. What do you reckon? I have glued a button as the pollen center, adding an extra dimension to my flowers.

 So, my first CNY card is very simple. I stamped my stem using Hero Arts 'Thank You Flourishes' stamp set in Memento 'Bamboo Leaves'. Then, it's all about sticking - the cherry blossom flowers, my scalloped wish card and a red wire butterfly for extra oomph. Tada... Pretty and simple...

The second CNY card is even simpler - more dashes of red (just like the spirit of CNY) - keeping it elegant yet a hint of difference. :)

So that's all for today. But, don't worry. There are more CNY cards to come - as I do send a few out each year to the special people in my life. However, unfortunately, this year it'll be arriving late as I am behind schedule. Oops! :) But, better late than never, right? :) Hope you enjoy the post! Happy CNY! Gong xi fa cai!

bOyiSh BiRthDaY...

I find card making for boys/men a great challenge, cause my cards never seem manly, or bloke-ish enough to me. A colleague celebrated his birthday yesterday. He loves football and cars. So, I decided to go with the football theme...

I had some paper (from American Crafts Page Kit Baby) left over from a scrapbook project last year. So, I rounded its corners and used it as a background on my A6 blank white card. I recently bought a set of sporty clear stamps (by American Crafts Champ) - which would go well with the football theme in mind.

The trophy (stamped with Memento Tangelo), winner foam hand (in Clearly Better Lilac) and football (in Memento Bahama Blue) were elevated using foam stickers onto cream cardstock. The 'happy birthday' sentiment (in Memento Tuxedo Black) provided a double birthday cheer - in line with the sporty cheer theme. The whole arrangement was then accessorised with a satin yellow ribbon (from Dovecraft Creative Ribbon) and large midnight blue button (from Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons) to finish off the sporty look.

I think the card turned out quite well - definitely boyish. It is a working progress... one step at a time and... perhaps one day, there will be a manly card being made... :)

GeeKy girlY BiRthDay...

Yesterday, a friend had a birthday celebration with a geeky theme. She loves 'Big Bang Theory' and all things princessy. So, I made her the following...

I used my Cuttlebug "Happy Birthday" embossing folder to emboss birthday wishes onto a yellow cardstock, which I then adhered to a A6 blank white card.

Then, I tied a polka dot ribbon (from American Crafts Premium Ribbon) around the centre of the card, followed by a stuck-on scalloped circle (cut using Go Kreate Concentrics die).

Finally, on goes the geeky owl. The owl was cut using Go Kreate (Owl #2) die and possesses joggle eyes (from John Lewis). The glasses are hand-made using floral wire to finish off the geeky look.

Tada... What do you think?

The 1st pOst...

Hello... and welcome... This is my 1st ever online post... Highly exciting... yet a bit unsure...

When I first moved to UK a decade ago, I was looking for a hobby to keep me entertained. Had a few knitting and cross-stitching projects, as well as played with origami and jigsaw puzzles. Even tried marshalling at car rallies... I know - a bit random. :)

But last year, I found my passion - papercrafting. Quick projects which challenges my creativity each time - allowing me to share them with my family and friends. So, ever since then, my papercraft kit and collection have been growing and growing. And now... I decide to take the next step... to share my stick n' stuck passion with the online world. 

Hope you'll like it!

Gracey :)
