A Glittery CAS card

Hi!
    Thanks a lot for all the lovely comments I received on my last post. With the summer vacations on, I craft as much as possible. I seldom crafted for a particular challenge before, but today I have done so especially for two challenges.. one at The Play Date Cafe using the colors Aquamarine,Poolside,Clay, and for Dream It Up using glitter.
    As usual I'm not very good at photography so this card below doesn't do much justice. Anyway here it is...

Feeling hot, hot, hot. . . . . .

Hi!
    It's extremely hot & humid out here. I just heard the song, "Hot, hot, hot" by Buster Poindexter & ended up with this post title. 
    Today I'd like to share a card I really enjoyed making & liked the way it turned out. I hope you like it too.


    Here's another one edited for clarity of the text, on the background paper...

Flashback Friday #24 Blog Hop Guest Designer

Hello friends!
   School is still on, I’m busy with test corrections, but, I could not refuse the offer for being the guest designer on my favorite challenge blog Flashback Friday, So, I’m here earlier than I thought.
   Without further ado, if you came here from Alyssa’s blog, then, you’re in the right track. If not, head on to... 

   Flashback Friday Challenge is all about re-posting your first project, but NOT linking it up to your original post. It’s that simple that’s why I love it. You’re a genius Amy for coming up with this bright idea.
   This weeks Flashback Friday challenge #24, is to flash back your first masculine card. The challenge runs from today May 25th to June 15th.

 The challenge prize of 3 files of your choice in any format is being sponsored by... 

Perfect Presentation
Also, the top 3 projects will be picked; one of them will be the prize winner and gets to pick the next Flashback FridayChallenge, while the other 2 also get to be guest designers.

Now, here’s my first masculine card…  


This card was made using the Anthon Berg liqueur chocolate wrapper for the bottle and thick plastic from the backing of a clear stamp for the glass. HERE's my original post.
Now, head on over to Amy's blog.  
Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous weekend!

Reposting my first card with a butterfly

Hello!
    I'm back here after a long break. I've been very busy lately with school. Besides teaching I've also been appointed as the school nurse. The school had a nurse but she retired & they were without one for a few months. When I was asked to attend to a sick child, I entered the sick bay for the first time, didn't like the look of it & requested the principal to have it done up. So, I've been busy setting it up all over again & also teaching. I've requested the principal to relieve me from teaching as I don't quite enjoy it. At home my kids begin their 'AS' level, 'O'level & the youngest his Grade 7 final exams. So, I haven't been crafting at all. Just thought I'd keep my blog alive by re-posting my first card with a butterfly for a challenge at Flashback Friday. 

This was my very first attempt at quilling. I started with a butterfly using manually cut strips of fluorescent papers and gluing them together as they were white on the other side. As a result, the papers separated, resulting in this asymmetrical, untidy butterfly. I feel rather ashamed to share this, but that's what Flashback Friday Challenge # 23 asks for. And just to keep my blog alive in spite of my busy schedule, I thought I might as well share this. And I can proudly add I've made several quilled projects far better than this one. You will find them all in my gallery HERE     
 I hope to be more active here after May. Till then happy crafting to you all.
