Day 9: Christmas Cat Sitting at the Window

Welcome to Day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas here at the QKD Blog. Nina here and I'm going to share with you a card I made which I'm particularly proud of.

It's my last month in QKD and it's been such a privilege getting to know the wonderful ladies behind QKD as well as the most awesome team I've ever met. So, for everyone here at QKD, here's my Christmas card for all you lovely ladies.


I'm not much of a cardmaker but I'm proud to say that this is my most favorite card I've ever made. It was originally based on an image of a cat sitting at a window for our Royal Kat Wednesdays but I'm using it here instead.

For the windows, I cut four rectangles on the opening gates of my card. Then I stamped the wonderful cat from the Ride With Me Stamp Set on one of the transparencies before sandwiching it between the cardstock and patterned paper.

On the inside, I wanted to do some sort of scene so I grabbed last year's Christmas patterned paper (why do I always manage to buy too much?) and stamped the bicycle and tree again from the Ride With Me Stamp Set.

Then I just used a rub-on to put in my sentiment: Believe.

I just wanted to leave you with the message that no matter how tough this year has been (it has been particularly rough on my family), know that things do get better and there's always room for Christmas in our hearts.

Sending you lots of love and blessings for the holidays and beyond.

Kindly keep on coming back for more fabulous inspiration from the team. And God bless you always!

*hugs*

Going places

I got these self-laminating bag tags and had a little bit of fun with some of my favorite QKD Stamps.

And these are the back with my name on Dymo tape.

These are just so fun and easy to make. Think ATCs but for a practical purpose.

What I love about scrapbooking is discovering little ways we can incorporate little sources of inspiration in our daily lives.

For these bag tags, I used QKD's Russian Dolls Stamp Set, the bicycle and cat from the Ride With Me Stamp Set, the Going Postal Stamp Set, and Random Text Background Stamp.

Halloween thoughts and greetings

We don't really celebrate Halloween in the Philippines, except in the malls. But my 5-year-old refuses not to be part of the fun of course! *grin*

This giant pumpkin has been his favorite mall decor for the second year in a row. We also went all out in his costume -- a knight costume set, helmet and sword. Will have to parade him around the village on Halloween.

I'm kinda sad to let go of my Halloween paper and projects for the year, but oh well. The fun had to end sometime.

But there's one stamp set you don't have to let go of just because Halloween's over! The QKD Ride With Me Stamp Set is one set you can use all year round!

Here's hoping you and your families enjoy the spooky and wonderful magic that Halloween brings every year!
