                I remember the day my three girls were so excited of getting new pairs of shoes. Their shoes are not bright and shiny any more now but by the time the shoes are old my girls have grown so much. I’d always remember those little shoes.   I want to share my idea:   Use your smart phone as a light box.   1.Use your smart phone as a light box.

            Last night I stayed up late to finish this card. I have been sewing on paper many times before but I particularly like this version. Practice is always the answer.           Step1.

    I was searching for life qoates  that I could use for my card making the other day. I found very good one I want to share with you. It says, “Keep smiling and one day life will get tired of upsetting you.” Don’t you agree? Just because of this line, I came up with camera idea and I love the result. The best part is you don’t need to buy any fancy supplies from craft store to make this card. Grab some brown paper bag piece and sew it together with your fabric scraps. Don’t worry about drawing a camera with your sewingRead More →

This is a very simple card to make that you could give to a teacher at the end of the school year. Just follow these four simple steps.       Step 1: Gather your supplies.
