A farewell!

Hello Folks,

I am sad to say that I am stepping down as StampNation Design Team Member. I am stepping down because I am going back to school to study Interior Design. I love designing especially Interior designing. Now that both my children are in high school, I decided it is time for me to do what I like and want to do the most. 

I have throughly enjoyed my time at StampNation. It is a great community of warm and welcoming members. It is also a great resource to learn, share and get inspired. So if you like to  learn more about StampNation, CLICK HERE.

I also like to thank Catherine Pooler for having me in her design team. She is one of the nicest person in the craft industry. Very organised and flexible. Great to work with. So a big hug and all the best to her and StampNation.

Here are some of my work I shared at StampNation

Thanks for stopping by!

Lots of umbrellas huh! Check out the colours as well. I made two cards for the challenge.This is my sneak peek of one of my card for the challenge.

And here is my second card I made for the challenge.



I have used the umbrella stamp set from Wplus9, stamped umbrellas, coloured with copics. Stamped the sentiment on the panel. I then trimmed the panel, foam mounted on a grey cardstock panel which is adhered to the card front. Here is a closeup!
