~ Vintage Ornaments and Vintage Greetings ~ The Craft's Meow
Vintage Ornaments: a new stamp set to be released November 1st at The Craft's Meow. Full of lovely vintage-style stamps with sentiments for the holidays. I picked out the "For you" sentiment and circular ornament stamp to create a scalloped border on this card.

~ The Merry Best ~ The Craft's Meow
Previewing a new stamp set for The Craft's Meow's November release, a fun and cute set called "The Merry Best" --
I picked two of the baby snowflake stamps in the set and stamped away to create a patterned background as you can see in the photo above.
and a lovely, meaningful sentiment from the set too. I plan to send this card out with the scripture verse from John 6:29.
other supplies I used: vintage dinner menu collage, lace trim, scrunchy ribbon, a trimmed chiffon fabric rose, and some pearls.
that's it from me today. Have a good week!

~ Crafty Secrets Design Team Challenge ~ Gift Bag/Envelope
Welcome to the October challenge for the Crafty Secrets' DT!
This project was SO FUN!!! Let me show you ....
Each of the DT members used a tutorial that you can find HERE to create a paper sack from an envelope. And we each got to pick a theme, so I chose "Thank you" and then made this sack using a brown envelope, burlap, satin wings, cameo setting, lace trims, and these goodies from Crafty Secrets:
- Love Mail creative scraps
- Mini Frames stamp set (chain stamp)
- Grand Greetings stamp set (sentiment stamp)
and as part of the assignment, I made a card to go with the gift bag.
Another cute sentiment from Grand Greetings, and a cameo setting with an image from Mini Vintage creative scraps. the background pattern is from Love Mail. I used some bits of trim and a burlap scrap salvaged from the bin ;) ...
Take a minute and see the great stuff the rest of the DT has come up with:
CRAFTY SECRETS
HEARTWARMING VINTAGE BLOG
And I just totally shocked myself by looking back at the archives........... I've been blogging for a YEAR already? how amazing is that. I've gotten bad at updating recently. I'mso busy with classes, practice, work, and so many other things. As time permits, I will keep this blog updated if anyone wants to read still (raise your hand if you do).
Last week my family took a vacation up in Cameron Highlands (Malaysia).Here's a few I have handy to show you.
We saw loads of pretty flowers...
Gorgeous scenery...
STRAWBERRIES!! at the strawberry farm! ...
Ok that's all for now...

p/s ... For those of you who asked, the little felt flower on the card in my last post was sent to me by my friend Annette. I bet she made them on her own, so if you want some of your own, go and bug her :D (sorry Annette) ....... I think she used to sell them in her etsy shop.
