Happy new year to everyone! It has been tooo long since I last posted. With x'mas just passed by and Chinese new year coming. I have been working like crazy!!!! But of course I didn't stop crafting.
Here are some cards and a scarpbook page I made lately! I intended to enter these for challenges but by time I get back from wherever I was, the deadline was over. With this job of mine, it's really hard for me to join in any challenges!!!! Which makes me really sad to miss all the fun! I have use all some of my new stamps!!! And also, I am trying to add a little bit of "me" in every project I make now. You will see in the last picture by what I mean, I drew those charaters and colored them. I hope u all like my creations!!! Last but not least, (Kung Hey Fat Choi)!!! That's happy chinese new year in Cantonese!!!

Altered project

2011-10-26T01:35:00.001-07:00

I am back with an alter project to share. Instead of a card, I made a scene with my stamps. I really like this picture frame and I dont have a picture to put in. So, I decided to create a scene using my new stamps! I really like how it turned out since this is my first try!! Most importantly, I hope the person receives this like it too =)

She is so cute!!! And I realized I havent used my nestabilies for quite a while, so I used my Dahlia in different sizes! I am going to try to get back on my crafting side, hopefully I will be back with all the challenges soon. xxx

Billy and Lilly card

2011-10-23T12:22:00.000-07:00

I made this card using one of my favorite characters from my stamps: Billy and Lilly!!! I have always like this stamp because I think they are so cute on the bike. And I dont know why, these 2 little cuties always reminds me of someone!
I used a girl and boy punches to make the borders, and if you look close enough, they have different outfits!!
Not much embellishments for this card as I think the colorful background and the little people speak for the card. I hope you do enjoy this cheerful card!!!!

Thank you for visiting!!! xxx

Hello everyone!!!! I am not sure if anyone even comes to my blog anymore after I had been gone for.... 8 months.
NO, I didn't stop card making for that long but just with me moving back home and was busy with my new job.
Let me just tell you more about where I have been and then I will show you some of the work that I have created.

After I got home, I took a rest for a couple of months. Then I got a part time job. Afterwards, I went to interview for flight attendant. And guess what??? I got in!!!! That's my dream since I was a little girl to be a fight attendant!!!! Then, I had a very intensive training for a couple months and now I have been working for 3 months already. I gotta say, my dream has come true but I will keep working hard to acheive more.

I have settled to my job and my life now, so I have more time to get back to my blog and hope to keep in touch with all my blog friends. I have really missed you all!!! =(

I hope you will enjoy looking through my creations, I know that they are not as good as most of you!!! I promise I will be here at least once a week to show you what I have made and also slowly getting back to all the challenges out there. Send me a Hi if you are around....!!!!! See you very soon, maybe in a few days because I am off to India this evening (HK time).

Here are some of the work I have created while I was gone.....:

2010-09-01T08:47:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, it has been a while since I upload a card.
Life has been very crazy since I got back.
I have taken 2 trips with family already. I went to Singapore and Malaysia in early Augs. Then just last week, I went to Taiwan for a few days. I enjoy both trips very much just because of the people who I was with.
But, something happened a couple of days ago made me sad, one of my relatives passed away. All that happened too suddenly and it takes time to digest.
Anyway, let not talk about that. I have a birthday card to share.
It is my time to host a challenge this wednesday over at TLL. This time I challenge you to make a birthday card.
I made this card for my uncle's birthday and I really hope he likes it. I used a Clown AJ image. I think he is really cute.
Here are the picutres of my card:

An entire view of the card.

Closer shot of card.

I hope you all like my card. And I am sorry I haven't been around.

I am back on track and I will update in a couple of days.

Thank you for stopping by, and your continueous support!!!

**Big hugs** Noreen

你呀...我為左你就打中文啦....

呢張咭係我送比我uncle既....

你覺得靚唔靚呢???

下次我整張比你呀!!!!好無呀??

Safe and sound!!!!

2010-08-04T18:59:00.000-07:00

Hello all,
I don't have a card to show today, instead, I would tell you a little about my last couple days!!!
I have yet to find my card reader. =(
I left Canada on the 2nd and arrived safely in Hong Kong on the 3rd.
Almost my entire family went to the airport to pick me up.... Very very touching moment.... Of course I cried so so hard when I see my beloved fam.
Then we gave a suprise birthday party to my second mama (aunt). IT was so much fun!!!!
Yesterday.... I went to get a make over. LOL. Not really... but literally.... My aunts bought me so much clothes to wear, so that's a new wardrope. And I cut, permed and dyed my hair. Nothing very dramatic, some highlights and shorten the hair. AND I LOVE IT!!!! Will show you pictures later.
Last night we had our 1st big family dinner, yum yum yum. Thank you all my love ones and especially my daddy!!!
After dinner, my and all my cous went to Kareoke. Woo, that was really really fun!!!! All the older ones didn't get home until 5:40 A.M. (Including me) ooppsss!!!

I am having so much fun and just love to be home. I truly truly have the most amazing family ever in the entire world. I love you all. Though, wanna know something really not cool. I only slept for 6 hours in total since I got back, not because of the jet lag.... I just couldn't sleep because I have so many people to see and so much to do. LOL.

Anyways, I hope you are enjoying your summer wherever you are. It is HOT HOT HOT in HK. TOO hot and humid. But it's better than cold snowy weather!!!!

With lots of love,
Noreen

I am going to have 3 posts today because I have been busy making cards....
Would be crazy to show you all the pictures in 1 post. Pretty overwhelming I think....
So I will split them up... This is my 1st.

I have a Tilda to share ( actually I am not sure what her name is since my friend gave me this image.)
She is also for my July mingle partner Beth Babcock from the magnolia- licious group.
AND, I am entering her for MMSC #60.

Here are the pics:

I don't normally use blue for girl cards but this time I decided to step out of my comfort zone. July mingle's theme is butterfly... I hope my card suits the theme. LOL

Sentiment and deatils... Gotta love the bling!!!! =)

I came across this blog from a fellow crafter. Kristen is giving away a candy and all we have to do is send some cards to these two sweeties. Please read along their story and DO send them and their family some love.

Ethan is Kristen's cousin's son. He is 8 years old .Ethan was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Stage 4 on March 5th, 2005. This devastating news came just days after his 3rd Birthday. The doctors told us that Ethan’s overall chance of survival was only 25%. Who would have ever thought that his leg pain and unexplained fever was cancer.

The worst of the worst…a deadly form of cancer where there is no specific treatment meant just for Neuroblastoma. Instead, trial studies and experimentall therapies were in our future.

Ethan underwent 6 rounds of extremely high dose chemotherapy, surgery to remove the tumor in his abdomen, a stem cell transplant and 12 rounds of radiation to the tumor site. This trial study was followed up by an experimentall therapy at Sloan Kettering in New York called 3F8 Antibody Treatment. Ethan received 5 rounds of this treatments before becoming “Hama” positive, which means his immune system is trained to fight neuroblastoma cells.

Today, Ethan is cancer free and is back to enjoying all the childhood fun and games that was taken from him for over a year and a half. Doctors have also increased his overall chance of survival to 50% (considering the high rate of relapse).

UPDATE:

In November 2007, a lump was found on Ethan's left shoulder blade...later to be diagnosed as osteochondroma, a benign tumor growth in the bone. This is in part, a side effect of having Total Body Irritation for his Stem Cell Transplant.

Around June of 2008, several benign tumors were discovered on Ethan's liver.

On Nov. 21, 2008, we found out that Ethan's cancer had returned, Recurrent Neuroblastoma. MIBG uptakes were discovered in one shoulder, his leg, his spine and chest...along with in his bone marrow. There were a total of 12 spots at re-diagnosis

Ethan underwent 2 rounds of high dose chemo followed by a set of scans. The scans showed that the chemo was not acting effectively.

Ethan then underwent one round of maintenance chemo before becoming the first patient in a New England hospital to receive MIBG therapy (aka liquid radiation). The first round was scheduled the week of Ethan's 7th Birthday (feb 17th). Follow up scans show a HUGE improvement, leaving residual uptake on MIBG scan and small traces in the bone marrow. Then Ethan underwent a 2nd round at the beginning of May 2009, scan results show "stable with limited improvement".

At this time, Ethan only had two more spots to take care of. So he underwent more chemotherapyy, using irinotecan, carboplatin and temodar...followed up by a much needed stem cell rescue. Results "stable with no improvement". At that point, we decided to allow Ethan's body to rest and put him on a treatment known for stability called ABT-751 at the beginning of Sept. 2009. However, in November 2009, Ethan's cancer showed 2 new spots of progression and we had to discontinue the use of the ABT-751.

From there, Ethan began a treatment using Temodar and Thalidomide, which consists of taking pills at home...everyday. Also, at this point, I added Harmazone, a form of"Essiac" to Ethan's daily routine. Later, I added the use of a DHA supplement. Thus far, the DHA has proven to rid Ethan of his mood swings and temper tantrums.

After 4 rounds of Thalidomide/Temodar treatment, On March 18, 2010 scan results showed massive "widespread" progression throughout Ethan's entire skeletal system, from his shoulders down his arms, down his spine and chest cavity, to his pelvis, and down his legs, right down to his ankles.

We then decided to try out a new phase 1 protocol using both IV and oral cyclophosphomide, with Avastin and Zometa. This treatment is primarily used for bone metastesis. Unfortunately Ethan's LFT's remained too elevated to remain on protocol.

Scans were conducted in Vermont, as preparation for a new study. Results show even more progression to several area's in skull and soft tissue mass on spine. Radiation was conducted to the orbital area and spine, along with etoposide and velcade treatments. Biopsies were perfomed for DNA and RHA testing for Personalized Medicine Study in Vermont.

Well, today we received devastating news. The Brain tumor has more than doubled in size and is now causing focal seizures. They will do radiation for comfort only at this point. Things are not looking good for Ethan and he is in need of prayers and whatever happiness we could give him. Ethan & his sister sierra love to receive cards. If you could find the time to mail them a card, I am sure it would bring a smile to their face. Particularly Ethan, as he is in Boston Children's Hospital continuing with radiation. If you would like to mail them a card you may do so to:

Bella Tucker is an 8-year-old girl who attends South School Elementary in Londonderry, New Hampshire and is a member of the Phantom Gymnastics team. Bella came down with a near fatal infection on Easter Sunday. Doctors gave little hope for this third graders’ survival, but after five days in a coma she miraculously survived Streptococcus Pneumonia Sepsis with DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation).

Unfortunately, her survival from this infection was not without significant cost. The infection caused extensive tissue damage, and on April 27, 2010, Bella underwent quadruple amputation surgery and is currently facing an extremely long and hard recovery at Children’s Hospital in Boston with extensive rehabilitation to follow, as she learns to live life without her limbs.

Fortunately, Bella has the love and support of her three older brothers and younger sister during these trying times. The family is suddenly faced with significant challenges, many of which can be eased with financial help. For example, their home in Londonderry, New Hampshire will need extensive modifications to accommodate a wheelchair. Bella's mother, who is also her primary insurance holder, must be by her side during the extensive rehabilitation process and therefore she will be unable to work, causing the family to lose significant income. Since her mother will be with her during this process, the family needs funds for daycare of their other children. Lastly, she will be faced with medical challenges for the rest of her life.

Bella loves receiving cards and they would be sure to make her smile. I am currently awaiting her address, but you may mail her cards to my address until further notice.

Right before X'mas last year, I was thinking to send some cards for sick children. Then things got chaotic and I gave myself an exscue saying I would do it next year. This time, I am not just saying it... I will be making theses two sweet peas a card TONIGHT. I am taking my words to actions. If you have a free moment, please send them some love.

Have a good mid-week. :)

1st post in May

2010-05-08T23:04:00.000-07:00

Hello all,
Can you beleive that this is my 1st post in May?
I just got back from my little holiday... so I didn't have time to post.
Or I just was too carried away to post?
Anyways, I have been working on a few cards since I got back.
I find that it always takes me a couple of days to get back on track....
But this time, it's not that bad. I was stuck for a day or so but am on FULL power again.
I have 2 cards to share in this post.
The first card is for Easy Crafts Projects #12: Spring
The second card is for Stamp Something: Birthday Something

Here are the pictures:

This is a Spring friendship card using a Tilda Image

You see the little flowers? I used a new flower punch that I just got and I am in aweeeeee.....LOVE it!!!! I have been looking for the "right, perfect" flower punch for a while and I think this serves it. Or maybe one of my favourites, until I find some more :p

Happy Tueday!!! This is my 2nd post for today. For my 1st post, please scoll down. Did you have a good easter???
I sure did. NO.... easter bunny didn't bring me anything...
But, instead.. I got to get together with my friend, Cabio for our 1st craft date.
It was so much fun. I had fun talking and laughing with you. I hope we can do this more often. And THANK YOU so much for your lovely stamp sets.
I got quite productive this past few days. Got about 6 cards done. Well... not a very inpressing number. But, for me... it's... rewarding.

I have 2 Magnolia cards to share... I am falling in love with Tilda. I didn't know her until I got some images from my swaps. And now.... she is one of my fav. to play with.

Here are the pics for my cards:

This thank you card's for Cabio. I gave it to her when we met. My friend, I hope you like my card.

Hi all, are you having a good week?
What's everyone doing for easter?
I have NO plans yet, I think I will probably end up crafting at home....
As you might have known that I am sooo smitten with Pinkcat Studio's Lilly and Billy... I got a couple of stamp sets a few weeks ago and haven't had a chance to use them.
I have decided to go ahead and unwind my inner Lily.... that said, you will be seeing A LOT more of Lilly and Billy.
Today, I have a Lily card to share.
1. For Fun Challenges: Anything goes (Family friendly)

I didn't follow any sketch this time... so no sketch picture to show.
I was thinking to enter this card for another challenge, BUT, I forgot to use the require technique.... What was I thinking?? I didn't notice until... I finished my card.?!?!?!?$%%$?@?&>%?>@?@?$

Anyways, here are the pictures. Please be patient, there are quite a few pictures...

Happy weekend, everyone!!!!
This week has not been the greatest week....
Started off very tired, and then I injured my right thigh with hot oil.
Yeah, I know... I shoulda been more careful. I will next time :p
I have a baby card to show you. I know.. out of no reasons, I always make baby cards/ stuff.
This time, this card is for a REAL baby. My dear friend from high school gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a couple weeks ago.
So, the least I could do is make her a card, right?
I am entering this card for 2 challenges:
1. OCCSC8
2. Crafty creations: Challenge 60, Babies

Here you go:

I really like this cute baby stamp set from Pinkcat studio. Also, I love the ribbon.... with all the hearts. So cute!!!! Since the baby is a girl, I decided to bling up the ribbon. Every girl likes diamonds, right?

Hellooo!!!! I am baccckkkkk!!!!
It has been a long long 2 weeks... I miss my crafts so much.
You know... I have tons of ideas floating in my head but can't get them "right".
This card that I am going to show you...I started it on Sunday night. Didn't finish until today.
It's like I don't know how to craft anymore... Well, I caught up and will be posting more again. I have to really get my creativy juices going or I get really really stuck.
So, really for some eye candies after sooooo long?
Here we go:

As the title says, this card is for a very special friend. Who? I am not telling... cuz I don't want that person to know. You can take a wild guess though.

Closer view of "my friend", aka Billy. I blinged up his glasses and the ice-cream. In fact, I put my friend's name on the shirt.

Side view of my card and image. I just use my cuttlebug folders for layering, then did some paper piecing, and finally some dew drops.

Sentiment, yeah, "Friends forever."

This is where I will write my message.

Hopefully, my friend won't see this cuz I want this to be a surprise. But I have to post this to show you guys or you would have to wait for some extra days. Well, I hope you like this card and thanks for stopping by!!! :)

呢兩日聴番一隻好耐之前嘅歌..."會過去的"
諗番起好多野...有好多野都唔同左...
有好多野都過去左...被人遺忘左...
但..又有D野係點都唔會過去...會係你個腦度一次又一次地重播...
有一種痛係無論你做咩都無用..佢都係會一直跟住你...
耐不耐又會提醒下你...個心又會跟住一下一下地痛...
所以...到底會過去定唔會呢?
而你一直都係我心裡面...有時會耐唔耐掛住你...
但係次次腦海出現你個樣心就會痛一下..
記起你同我講嘅說話鼻會好酸眼淚會想落下...
我真係好想好想大嗌"我好掛住你,好想再見番你...."如果你係聽到的話.....

Hello again!!! As I told you in the previous post, I might update a post or two. So, here I come again. If you want to read about the previous post, please scoll down :)

What have I got for your eyes? Just wait...and see...
As you might have known, I am taking part of serval swaps. I have been having soooo much fun meeting all these creative ladies from ALL over the world. Literally, UK, Canada, US......I am going to have a full circle of craft friends from all around the world SOON. Yeah!!!!
So, my big sister (Yes, that's what I call her since I don't know her name. It's a 4 months secret swap, I will know by the end of the round.) sent me a beaufiul package a couple weeks ago. She put some really neat stuff in there, stamp images, bards, ribbons.........I got some Magnolia stamp images too.
I have been really looking forward to color her but didn't want to waste it. Then, I saw a really fun sketch on MMSC. AND.....VIOLA! I am here to enter the MMSC42. This is such a FUN, yet unordinary sketch.

Okok...No more chit chat. Here you go, first the sketch then my card.

Look, isn't she a sweetie pie? She just looks so shy...holding a flower. Seems like she is thinking of someone "special".

Here's a closer look of Tilda. And my embellishments.

Massive update

2010-02-17T19:01:00.000-08:00

Hi all, hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather.
It sure felt like spring today. Sunny and warm.
Started reading break this week and enjoying some time off.
So, I have a lot to share in this post. A true massive upadte.
Are your ready?
Tina, Yully and I went to afternoon tea yesterday. "JT, sorry. I didn't hear the phone ring. Call again."
A new cafe in China Town. Small but nice. Kind of european style.

Made the girls a note pad each for Valentine's day. Hope they like it.

The three of us....look at me... what kind of pose is that?

I have been having lots of fun playing with easel cards. So I have made a bunch of them. Here is a series of easel cards. *sorry, if I update more, wouldn't have to update all at once*

This is a card set. A card with a paper pocket which you can use it to put gift cards, money, goodies....

Heart card. Went to Murchie's with Tina today. AGAIN, I know. We love afternoon tea. She said she likes this set, so gave this to her.

Heart Pocket.

The next one is using a cupcake stamps set and similar theme DP.

Cupcake card.

Cupcake pocket. Notice the bling cupcake. I like it, so yummy

Little diva set. She is really cute and funny. And who isn't a diva when you are a baby. You get whatever you want. :)

Last but not least, for my friends and family; here's a recent picture of me with my messy hair. Urrrrrrrr..... =.=

We are the world 25 for Haiti

2010-02-15T01:03:00.001-08:00

I know I promised I will upload pictures of my projects.
I was going to...but...something stopped me.
I was just browsing on the net before I wanted to post this (6 hours ago), then saw a video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glny4jSciVI
It is "We are the world" remake for Haiti.
I watched it over and over and over, probably over 10 times.
Cried every signle time.
Just really really touches my heart deeply.
As some of you might know that there's a reason Feb is the hardest month of the year for me. Every single year since 7 years ago.
I think because of that, I have been on the emotional roller coaster these past couple of weeks.
Can't stop crying when I think about Haiti, and "you".
Anyways, pop over to youtube and check out the video. You will be touched.

One last note: "Haiti, Sar bark say, na bu le."

Hello, Sorry I haven't posted for a few days.

I have quite a few projects to share later.
Today, I am using a fairy Lily for MMSC40.

So, I decided to use some bright colors in this card to brighten the winter days.

Sketch for this week.

Here are the pictures of the actual card:

My sweet Lily, she is just too cute. I can't stop saying that!

Closer view of embellishments, I use a lot of felt with this card. I haven't really use felt for a lot of my cards and decided to give it a try. I like how they turned out, espcially with my color combo.

Wallet card!!!! Actually there are 2 pockets inside. FULL OF GOODIES!!!!

Look how much stuff is in the goody bag. Stamp images, die cuts, ribbons, flowers..........wooohoooo!!!

My family is taking a trip from HK to Korea for Chinese New Year. They are leaving in 1 1/2 day. To tell the truth, I was a little bit....sad? Jealous? No, those are not the words...I guess I felt left out. I know they don't mean to...But it's just hard for me to digest. I miss my family 24/7 and just really really really want to be able to join them on family events like this. Spend some quality time with them during holidays. I have spend the last 5-6 years of CNY alone. I just...:(

Sorry for my long post, I am an emotional, craze girl this week. Have mixed feelings for a lot of things...A lot is on my mind and I am going to get back to my therapy (Crafts) now. Talk soon and thanks for dropping by.

Look at all the goodies that Lauren gave me. Thank again

Happy weekend!!! I hope you all are enjoying some time off and craft!!!
I joined this swap recently and requires us to make a wallet card each month.
This is the first month to start swapping!!
Here's my card and her goody bag:

Since it is love month, I made this card in the love theme, colors... I hope you like this image, it is a PinkCat Studio (PCS) stamp.

Here's the side view.

Inside! Both sides are serve as wallet/pocket. This is the purpose of this swap! The right side is for writing message.

This is back of the card

I hope you and my partner will like my card. Shipped it a few days ago, hopefully she will get it soon :)

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenege (MMSC39)

2010-02-03T00:36:00.000-08:00

OK, regarding to my last post. I decided I want to show you the cards first.
I just can't wait.
So ready?
I am using this card for MMSC#39.

I really like this card, maybe because of it's color.
Very siutable for this month *the heart month*I used a couple of Pinkcat Studio stamps.
Both Lily images, and you haven't seen her before.

Here's the sketch for this challenege.

The actual card.

A close up on the flowers.

A closer view of the two Lilies.

I used 2 different kinds of flower soft on the branches.

An entire view of the inside.

I hope you like my card. I spent too many hours on it...but well worth.

Post or not?!?!?!?!

2010-02-02T21:12:00.001-08:00

I am a little....unsure here.
I have made a few cards that I really like and would love to share with you.
But, some of those are for swaps and friends.
And I am not sure if I want them to see the card until it is in their hands.
So, what do you think?
Should I just go ahead and post but don't mention which is for whom?
Or should I just waitttttt....
Some will be mail to UK, States, HK....
Might take a while until I can actually post.
Tell me!!! Give your opinions.
