The Royal Wedding (Part 2)
A simple Well Wishes table.
The handwritten words on the chalkboard (tr: well wishes for the bride and groom) was done by my father, who has a knack for calligraphy and he is REALLY GOOD at it! (Why didn't I inherit that?!). It's just a small table, where guests could come and pick a card, and then run back to their seating places.
The original idea was to have a guestbook, but we wanted to avoid long queue of the guests. Then we went to this one wedding which implemented this idea and fell in love with it, and decided to adapt it for the royal wedding.
Nothing fancy about the cards (bought them at Tesco haha), and we did everything within 2 days (Stamp! Punch! Glue!). I already have the wedding stamps from my clear stamp stashes - bought ages ago but didn't really use it much, and it was the right time to use my new Martha punch... hehe. (which I LOVE!)
The plan was to have all the cards arranged in an album/ frame, but the bride and groom haven't decided yet, so the plan is still pending. :)

The Art of Literature
The great thing of being a literature major and an art lover is that you get to combine two things you love most in the world - the beautiful language and the ecstatics of arts. And when both combined, you can have some fresh ideas to your crafts.
Like when I started this craze over hand-made stamps, I have no ideas what and where I'm going to use my stamps - given that I was never a stamper before. So the simplest idea that I can do is to create stories based on the stamps, and I come out with these note cards:
All the scalloping, doodling and wordings are self-made. Enjoy!

It's Note Cards!
I made these for my sister, for a very special request. She told me she needed 30 note cards for school (for her faculty or something) and had me scrapping all night. Given the limited time and resources, this is what I've come out with. Not too bad huh.
I thought of selling them, but later changed my mind and thought of these as the promotional cards (but will still claim for the used materials though). The order was only for the cards, but I throw in the box as well. Just because. I've put up my blog address for the world to see too so whenever they're interested, they could alway bloghop here. I do cards (greetings, invitations, gift tags etc), I do altered arts, I do giftwrapping, I do gift boxes, I do everything related to papers. ;)
