Jeshan's 3rd bday - Party II - 9th August

Jeshan's 3rd birthday

Jeshan's 3rd birthday - August 9th 2008.

We decided to have two parties - one for our friends and one for his friends. The parties were also meant as a housewarming do.


Party I - August 7th

Jeshan wanted a cake with lots of animals on it so we decided on a Noah's Ark themed party - though the theme is more obvious in the second party with all the little children.






Aunty Sheila made these cupcakes for her nephew...




After the candles go out, little hands scurry for the animals.

Things that inspire me

I like surfing the net for pretty things - they inspire me in my own art work. I don't copy directly but looking at stuff provides inspiration and ideas when I have run out of my own. They help me coordinate patterns and colours better; show me ways of doing things I hadn't thought of and certainly, they move me to come up with something entirely new.

Will show later what I came up with just from looking at these pictures.

Clear stamps

Just discovered these and learnt how to you use them, thanks to the folks at Craft Haven (in One Utama). Was surprised to find that they have all the stuff I have been drooling over on the Internet. It's sad tho, I have seen all these things in the US at Michaels and at the Scrapbooking Shop but they cost so little there - just a few dollars each. Here everything costs three to four times more.
