Something A Little Different

Hello!

It's been a while since I last updated, so my apologies about that. :P It got a little busier than I planned. Haha. I traveled a bit over the weekend to see my best friend, and so I didn't do any updating on my blog or website.

Last week on Saturday, I had my friend's Bridal Shower and another friend's birthday party. Both back to back, one in SD and one in LA. I can tell you now that I shall never (willingly) drive long distant during the afternoon. Hahaha. It was pretty terrible for me. Not because of traffic or anything... but because I was SOOO tired the entire time I was driving. And, I couldn't pull over to go to sleep because I was rushing to my friend's birthday party. Haha. Needless to say, I've learned my lesson.

In any case, I'm still glad I made it to both events because they were both super fun.

So, instead of showing some of my keychains today, I thought I would show what I made for my friends. Well, the cards I made, at least. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the actual gift (well, that... and I kinda just forgot. Haha).

Sorry for the rather blurry quality. I didn't take the pictures with my nicer camera.... so now you guys get to see the difference between my point and shoot/DSLR camera quality and the itouch camera quality. Haha. XD

This was the card I made for my friend's bridal shower. Not too fancy, but still kinda nice,  I think. I had originally cut out a total of three flower designs, and I was contemplating squeezing all of them onto the card, but it ended up looking too cluttered and messy. So I took out two of the designs, and opted to only have the round, pink flowers. Which, in my opinion, probably worked better. I didn't want to add too much to the card, so I just added a simple "Congratulations!" on the bottom.

Whenever I have to write words on cards, I get a tad bit nervous. Somehow, all the words end up looking like they are spelled incorrectly. Or, when they look like they're spelled correctly... they actually aren't. I remember when I first came to college at UCSD, I made a card for a friend's birthday (for everyone to sign), and I spelled "Happy Birtday" rather than "Happy Birthday."I guess it's not that big of a deal that I spelled something wrong. But... it was the beginning of the school year, and I wasn't that close with anyone yet. Haha. XD

Good times.

Anyways.

Moving on.

This next card I made for my friend, I was (and still am) rather proud of it. It took me a really long time because Buzz is a LOT more detailed than I thought he would be. Haha.

My friend really likes Toy Story, especially Buzz Lightyear, so I decided to make a Toy Story themed birthday card. Here is what resulted:

I don't think there was anything paricularly difficult about this card. Rather, there were just a lot of smaller details that took a lot of time. But, it was all the more satisfying when I finished the card, and handed it to my friend to watch her reaction as she opened it. :)

Anyways. That's all for today.

I'm hoping to get back on making stuff and uploading stuff. However, next week looks pretty packed as well... but I'm going to try my best to make some time for more arts and crafts! :)
