I was inspired by My Hideaway idea to make this card. I love how simple and elegant her flowers are. I used a different color scheme, a taller vase and embossed the mat and the vase to give them a professional look. My cuttlebug and Walk in My Garden arrived this afternoon. I couldn't simply wait.
Cartridge used: Walk in My Garden
Swiss Dots and Daisy Pattern embossing folders
Flowers: 2'', vase: 2''1/2, stems: 2''1/2
The stripe made with purple glitter
Hi, My name is Giang. I am married to a kind man, with a little daughter born in 2009. I fell in love with scrap-booking and card-making the day I taught a reading lesson on paper craft. After being a follower of some great paper craft people, my love has grown even more. As a beginner, I would really appreciate it if you leave comments and encouragement. Thanks for dropping by.

Frog cards
My daughter is a member of a kindergarten's class called Green Frogs, so I have been looking for cartridges with (a) frog(s) on it. I just made these two for her.
The first frog is from Create a Critter; the second one, Give a Hoot. Both were cut at 2''1/2. So were the lotus leaves. I used the shadow for the front of the second card.
Hope you like them

4-season cards
Hello,
I tried making the autumn card first. And then the idea of doing the other 3 season cards came across my mind. Here are the results.
Spring card:
Cartridges used: Stretch your imagination for the phrase (1''3/4) and the bird (3''), Give a hoot for the branch (1''1/2)
Summer card:
Cartridges used: Stretch your imagination for the bike (2''3/4), Create a Critter for the sun (1''1/2), Plantin Schoolbook for the grass (1''3/4)
Autumn card:
Cartridges used: Stretch your imagination for the tree and leaves (2''3/4) and the phrase (1''1/2), Give a hoot for the grass (1''1/4). There are 3 tulips in the grass, but I cut them off. I should have placed the dark green grass on the light green one so that it has the feel of autumn.
Winter card:
Cartridges used: Stretch your imagination for all. Card and frame: 4'', snowflakes: 1'' and 2''.
I might have listed some wrong measurements 'cause I did from memory. I will note them more systematically from now on.
Happy Thursday.

My first order reaching
A good morning message from the businesswoman who helped with ordering craft stuff for me from the US websites: You cricut is in Hanoi now.
I almost jumped like a kid. After weeks of waiting and dreaming, I have it now.
The order this time includes a cricut expression, some cartridges, a trimmer and a tool kit. Papers and embellishments are on the coming orders.
I can't wait to make my first cards/lay-outs.
