Ain't the image - <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=262" target="_blank">Candy Ski </a> just adorable? Since the challenge is Winter blue, I decided to use cool colours for this cards. Blues, greens & lavenders. I made the card with 2 flaps & glue the center to a purple mat & added another white mat to the card.</div>

Since it doesn't ever snow in Singapore... I guess a snow globe kinda makes me fantasize about a land covered with beautiful, pure whiteness. So here's a shaker - snow globe card that I made. Let's shake things up this holiday season! (^V^)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v9-M3cpQ15I/UNFWm4G7M9I/AAAAAAAABEM/nCo2q6U_Ji8/s1600/Penguin1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v9-M3cpQ15I/UNFWm4G7M9I/AAAAAAAABEM/nCo2q6U_Ji8/s400/Penguin1.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to use the beautifully coloured<a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=277" target="_blank"> "There's a penguin in my Cocoa"</a> image & background. I love the colour & the penguin is Oh So cute! Just makes me want to give it a big cuddly hug.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HayMQlEotMs/UNFXxZjddAI/AAAAAAAABE4/qiPxBwXR7Fo/s1600/Spellbinders+Standard+Circles+LG+die+(S4-114).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HayMQlEotMs/UNFXxZjddAI/AAAAAAAABE4/qiPxBwXR7Fo/s320/Spellbinders+Standard+Circles+LG+die+(S4-114).jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/products/p-180-standard-circles-lg.aspx" target="_blank">Spellbinders Standard Circle LG die (S4-114)</a></div>
<br />
1st, I printed my image then I printed the background separately. To make my snow globe, I used the Spellbinders Standard circle LG die (The largest one) & traced out the outside parameter of the circle & drew in a simple base for the snow globe. Cut out the shape of the snow globe & then glue it in the center of my printed background.<br />
<br />
I need to make hole in the snow globe so that the image would be seen. So, I carefully taped (with removable tape) the same circle die onto the snow globe & ran it thru my die cut machine so that I'm left with the silhouette of the snow globe which is securely glued onto my 6x6" background.<br />
<br />
Using the circle template that I just cut out from the snow globe, I traced onto my image so that I know where to put the foam tape. Then I lined the foam tape around my pencil drawn line & poured heart shape sequins in. Glue a piece of acetate to conceal the sequins. Now, I positioned the image to be aligned with the snow globe silhouette piece I had earlier on top of the image & glue them together.<br />
<br />
Then I cut out a 8x8" pistachio coloured CS & made a box with no lid, just 4 flaps at the side & a thickness of 3mm (same thickness as the foam tape) & glue the snow globe shaker piece on top. Opps.... I hope you guys r not lost trying to understand what I'm saying. It's really hard trying to put this down in words without showing you. :(<br />
<br />
Finally, made a simple card & glue the box like shaker snow globe down on the front of the card & decorated the inside of the card.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I added Tattered Angels-Glimmer Glam (Colour: Chandelier) on the actetate. To make the acetate look like uneven hand-blown glass. Can you see?</div>

The card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been dying to use this cute image from TPS, <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=252" target="_blank">License to Frost</a>. She's so adorable & is wonderful for a birthday card. I wanted the card to have a fun & joyous feel to it so how can we cannot do without banners & cupcakes, right? I also added different elements such as hand-stitching, red metallic pearl strings, printed transparency & pom pom ribbons to give the card more texture.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Fairies & Elves is the theme for this week's challenge. I know I wanted the card to look cheery & bright so I chose to work with pretty reds, pinks, yellows & greens. I made a circle easel card out of Spellbinders - Grand nestabilities dies & chose to colour TPS's image - <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=254" target="_blank">Fairies Tea Party</a>. Here's how my card looks!</div>

For this card, I most proud of the background that I've created. :) I wanted to create a feeling that the fairy & elf are having tea in a beautiful & most magical place on earth. I thought that it will be cool to let the background seems as if they were sitting below a rainbow. However, you'll not see the actual rainbow but only the reflection of its array of colours.</div>

This is my 1st time doing a halloween card. People here don't really celebrate Halloween. I'm honestly clueless about what I'm going to do so I decided to just focus on the colouring of the images this week. I combined 2 images this week. They are <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=261&zenid=nd463puka29q531i1145h13po2" target="_blank">"Was Not Me!"</a> & <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=260&zenid=nd463puka29q531i1145h13po2" target="_blank">"Miss Halloween"</a>. I used Photoshop program to flip the "Miss Halloween" image so that she looks like she's sweeping up the mess the naughty little kitty cat did & erased the inappropriate areas where the 2 images meet. E.g. her shoe & the pot.</div>

I challenged myself by colouring them in a dark hues which typically is not my style. Took me a much longer time to finish them as I kept going back & forth about my choice of colours :P </div>

With the Copic Multiliner 0.1 & 0.3, I drew fishnet stocking for "Miss Halloween" to give her a sexier look.</div>

The spiderweb & spiders</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted to draw cute, fluffy spiders & I did it with 2 shades of grey, W7 & W9. & added white dots with a white gel pen for their eyes & used Copic Multiliner 0.1 to give them their eyes & legs. Added glossy accent to give it a "Googly eye" effect. As for the spiderweb, I just drew it with Copic Multiliner 0.1.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted the spilled mixture to look yucky so coloured it in a dark turquoise colour & added a little pink, yellow & a fluorescent yellow, FYG1 to give it highlight. Covered it with glossy accent. It makes u wonder, what on earth was in that concoction... heehee </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The background is really interesting because I wanted it to look dreamy & slightly mysterious so I coloured the background with BG70 on the top & BV31 on the bottom of the card. Then, I used my colourless blender refill "O" & deliberately drip various droplet sizes on my coloured background. I had to be very careful not to drip too near to my images as it will react with the colours. I had a tissue next to me just in case it happened. :P On the whole, I liked the way it turned out. :D</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something old, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
something new,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
something borrowed,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
something blue,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& a sixpence in her shoe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
There were these empty wooden boxes that I had for a long, long time. So long that I can't even remember where I got them from.... LOL! I was digging through my stash when I found them. I thought it would be a great idea if I incorporated it into this week's challenge so I decided to make it into a decorative, mini shadowbox frame box that would make a wonderful little wedding gift for someone. :)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

How the box looks when it's open</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Teresa Collins - Everyday Moments paper kit collection. I didn't want this project to turn out extremely girly so that the groom would also be able to appreciate the gift. I fell in love with the beautiful, royal blue from this collection & knew almost instantly that it would be my main choice of colour.</div>
<br />
I used 2 boxes & with a strip of patterned CS, I made a long paper hinge to hold the boxes together. Then, I covered the 2 boxes with the royal blue patterned CS. To ensure that my box doesn't open up voluntarily, I added a brass catch. The brass catch compliments my paper very well & it further enhances the ornate feel of the box.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Brass catch</div>
<br />
To break the stiffness the box, I added 2 strips of ribbons & stuck ends under the mats of the front & back so that I'm still able to open my box. To make it more interesting, I added a key & lock charm to the ribbons<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

On the inside, I lined the boxes with white pearl string & added all my embellishments. I chose <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=135" target="_blank">The Happy Couple </a>for this project. Sweet, ya? I coloured bride & groom with different skin combo & added rosier cheeks for the bride. (Thinking of the saying "the blushing bride" when I was colouring her. ;D)<br />

I'm tasked to bring the pretzels & thought it would be nice if I were to pack a special one for the host.<br />
So, here's this is the special little something for my dear friend.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YjqPtKm8pWw/UF6l8Wi63lI/AAAAAAAAAy4/n3v0-wN6QBw/s1600/Doggie1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YjqPtKm8pWw/UF6l8Wi63lI/AAAAAAAAAy4/n3v0-wN6QBw/s400/Doggie1.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took an ordinary brown bag, cut a hole in the center to create a round window using my Spellbinders classic circle die. Then, I attached a piece of transparency on the inside of the bag so that I'll be able to see the yummy pretzels from the outside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cheery Lynn - Nautical Wheeler die</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a fuchsia coloured satin ribbon & white polka dot organza ribbon to the center of the bag. To decorate the window, the doily used was from Cheery Lynn - Nautical Wheeler die. Then, I folded pleats of a floral blue ribbon & glue it around the window.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a topper out of a baby pink CS. Punched a decorative border with Martha Stewart - Eyelet Lace edge punch. On the top, I lined it with a white pom pom trim, a pink baker's twine & white pearl string.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, I coloured the image, the <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=200" target="_blank">Cute Bavarian</a> girl in hues of pink & blues. I also tried colouring her in a different skin combo. Usually, I colour the skin with E000, E00, E11 & R20 but for this image, I changed the E000 with a E51 & added BV00 for shadows. The result is the image turned out slightly tanner than my usual but I still love it! :)</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
1st, I chose the patterned scraps that I like & punched out a total of 8pcs of 1 1/2" circles. Frayed the edge of the circles with my scissors & inked them with Distress ink-Tea dye.</div>

To make the flower, I punched out 5/8" circles from 3 different CS (pink, mustard & red). Folded each circle to make individual petals & glue them on 1 of the 1 1/2" patterned circles & added glitter to the center of the flower.</div>

I didn't have a butterfly punch but do have a Martha stewart - Butterfly edge punch. I just cut out the butterflies that I liked & decorated them with different coloured glitter glues & glue them on another 1 1/2" patterned circle.</div>

Adhere all the circles on a square, cream coloured mat. To make the perforation marks on the mat, I used a tracing wheel - sewing tool. Frayed the edges of the mat & inked it the same colour as my circles.</div>

I love to make the most of my tools & decided to make square mat with my edge punch. Isn't it pretty?</div>

I decided to use the digitally coloured image of <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=167" target="_blank">sharing a rainy day</a>.<br />

1st, I decide how many layers I want (i.e. how "PoP uP" I want my image to look). Then decide not to go more than 4 layers. I'm so glad I made that decision because it took a lot more time than I expected it to.... :P However, despite that being said, the satisfaction of the result supersedes all that hard work! LOL!</div>

Lots & lots of fussy cut. Then, I pile them up with my trusty Beacon glue. (I guess it will look better if I had a silicon glue). I tried to be careful not to squash them down flat, leaving a little gap in between each layer.</div>

I covered all 3 of my clouds with 2 coats of Adirondack Metallics Acrylic Paint - Pearl. Let them dry & ink them with Distress Ink-Sugar Spun & Tumble glass. Sadly, my photo is unable to capture the subtle hues of blues & pinks on the clouds.</div>

For the largest cloud (1), I applied lots of glossy accents on the chipboard cloud to adhere the clear seed beads. To ensure that the beads stay put, I gave them another load of glossy accent, heat set it with the heat gun & applied my Adirondack Metallics Acrylic Paint - Pearl randomly on the top of the beads.</div>

For the medium size cloud (2), I added lots of Stickles - Diamond. Use my heat gun to heat it till the glue bubbles so that the cloud be glittery as well as a texture to it. </div>

It's a season where there's greenery everywhere & when flowers starts to bloom & birds sing to celebrate this wonderful season. The main colours I used were green, yellow & white. Green from the lush pastures, yellow from the golden honey & white from the fluffy, marshmallow clouds. :D<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br />
I also chose a simple image, <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=70">"In the 20s" </a>for this card. After I've coloured the image, I fussy cut her out & mount her against the Square die frame.<br />

I love Cheery Lynn's die & here's another that I used - <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/dutch-scallop-square/">Dutch Scallop Square (DL140)</a> to frame the image. For the background of the card, I used 3 different designs of fabric tapes (Collection: Enfant) from <a href="http://lovemytapes.bigcartel.com/">Love My Tapes</a>.<br />
<br /></div>

Coloured her blonde with beautiful green eyes. I wanted to give her Cloche hat texture so I coloured it in random shades of brown to give the hat a felt, woolly look.</div>

To keep the simplicity of the card, I decided to place the sentiment inside the card rather than my usual outside & further decorate it with fabric tapes.</div>

My initial idea was to make an apperture card but I decided to spice it up with two flaps. The card is held together with a sentiment tag, which I layered using diecuts & a pair of velcro. I think the flaps just adds a little mystery to what is in the card.<br />

I wanted to create a story for the card & so the story goes.... one night, 2 little girls are playing pretend play. One of them pretended to be an angel & wanted to make a beautiful sky filled with twinkling, sparkling stars & guess what? Magically, it actually did happened! & the other girl just leaped in joy at the beautiful sight. :)<br />

I covered the background with the stars that are diecut out from doohickey die - Starlight Lace, inked every single 1 of them & added stickles-star dust to create the glittery & twinkling effect. It's tedious but I think the effort is worth it! Don't you agree?</div>

I tried paper piecing for Tilda's blouse & added C1 & C3 (Copic markers) to create the dimension. Don't you think it's just adorable? :)</div>

<br />
After colouring the image "Cirque", I used the medium size Cheery Lynn's die - Heart to Heart Lace Doily (DL106) to trace around the image with a pencil, creating a heart shape frame around her upper body. Then I fussy cut it out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5-5CeyN7qA0/UBUkcq-gOdI/AAAAAAAAAoU/783UpNmYjik/s1600/heart+to+heart+die.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5-5CeyN7qA0/UBUkcq-gOdI/AAAAAAAAAoU/783UpNmYjik/s320/heart+to+heart+die.jpg" width="316" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cheery Lynn's Die - Heart to Heart Lace Doily (DL106)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As the dies used are a set of various sizes of hearts, I diecut a total of 6 hearts of different sizes with different types of paper. There were the plain CS as well as the Glitter CS. The plain CS was a breeze but when I tried to diecut on Glitter CS, it failed the 1st time. So I had to run the Glitter CS & die through the machine 4 times before I get a clean cut & here's the outcome.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lEvIwk5PBxY/UBjXs5h7gsI/AAAAAAAAAow/8VPDy_hPDFw/s1600/cirque1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lEvIwk5PBxY/UBjXs5h7gsI/AAAAAAAAAow/8VPDy_hPDFw/s320/cirque1.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
Coloured the image "Cirque" in shades of purples & greens. Coloured the white heart background frame in the same tones (Feathering technique) to give it the soft glam factor. Added my usual Stickles - Diamond & glossy accent to various parts of the image.<br />
<br />

Love the look of stitches on cards but unfortunately I can't sew so I had to live with my hand drawn stitches. :) heehee.<br />

Coloured her hair tones of dark greys & added blues for the shine. I also added glossy accent to her pupils to make the eyes look 3D. For the lips, I added stickles-crystal on top of her coloured lips to make it seems like she put on a glossy, shiny lipgloss. How trendy does she look?<br />

LOL! Krista Smith is so talented. Her digi images are girly, sweet, a hint of spunkiness & full of expressions. Love them!!!<br />
<br />
Here's a card I made with the digi stamp - Violet that I got. Her name gave me an inspiration & hence I decided to colour her in hues of cool colours which includes blues & purples. Hope u like it :)<br />

I wanted her to sit on the circle frame so that she won't look like she's floating in the air or part of a Magician's act. :P I drew a circle to frame her without going thru her skirt & legs by using a Spellbinders circle die. Fussy cut out her legs & skirt & the circle. Mount it on Spellbinders - Picot Circle die then line the circle with pearl string to make it look girly.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><b><br /></b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">We need to make a tag & use a Magnolia stamp with flower(s) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">(can be a character holding flower(s) or just a flower stamp.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">This is my interpretation of the challenge. I decided to do an oriental Door Greeting Sign that has a hidden tag & Chinese Tilda is the perfect stamp for this project. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; line-height: 18px;"> </span></span><br />

There will be several winners. Yeah!<br />
<br />
Since the theme is "Anything", I decided not to do a card. In my opinion, it's one of those rare chances that I can do something else other than a card. I love creating my very own 3D stuff & get really excited when I'm able to "bring my creation to life". I have been looking for a nice desk organizer but haven't found a suitable one yet. Hence, decided to construct my very own. ;P Here it is....<br />
<br />
I always love to create a scene with Magnolia stamps & decided to incorporate it to this project.<br />
Made the entire structure out of chipboard & added a clock mechanism to it. Totally pleased with how it turned out. Cute & practical. So proud of myself. LOL!<br />

See the heart at the bottom left of the photo? It's a shaker box heart embellishment that I made out of transparency, glass beads & Kaisercraft wooden heart. Drew the face of the clock using Photoshop & added stickers to the center & fixed on a clock mechanism.</div>

We need to use a Magnolia animal stamp for our creation which is the main image or as important as the main image & we will need to follow Tina's sketch below.</div>

I found "Nalle" (Teddy Bear) from Spring 2006 collection & decided to use it. I find that it compliments "Tilda with blue blanket" (Princes & Princesses collection) very well. Baby Tilda with her stuffed teddy bear.... The pair is adorable together. :)</div>

I always try to make an envelope to match the card. So here's it.... To ensure that the flap of the envelope doesn't open, I made a little pocket to hold the flap & cut it to look like an origami heart. Cute, huh? (*^_^)</div>

However, as I used Copics to colour my stamps, I decided to try & see what's the effect I'll get if I apply the medium directly to my coloured stamps. Here's the result ....... a very subtle silvery/pearly sheen that can only be seen if you tilt the card at a certain angle. I used it on Tilda's ribbon, blanket, a little on her shoes & dress as well as the patchwork on Teddy's face & body & its paws & inner ear.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">This is my take for the challenge. For the background of this card, I used the Summer Background stamp from the Fairytale 2010 collection. I didn't want to be limited by the "box" that framed the stamp so I inked up the stamp & erase the ink on the "frame". I hope I'm making sense & that you would understand me. :P Then, I'm able to add height to the background by cropping the sides off.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">You can compare the Summer background stamp to what I have done so you will be able to get a clearer picture of what I'm trying to explain.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crafty Girls'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"><br />

It's a 12x12" paper which has an embossed white design on it. I have choosen the Blossom design for my LO. Simply add colours to the paper using inkpads, chalks, mist, markers ......The possibilities are quite endless.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cpCRg4vu0vo/T3KfWNCpIfI/AAAAAAAAAaM/x3R3vjgkM-I/s1600/Colour+Me+Paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cpCRg4vu0vo/T3KfWNCpIfI/AAAAAAAAAaM/x3R3vjgkM-I/s320/Colour+Me+Paper.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
This is a digital image of how the original paper looks. In reality, the gray background is almost white so you would not even noticed the image unless you feel it or put it at an angle where the light hits it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SUR81ZF0a-s/T3Kla1rT76I/AAAAAAAAAak/OCPJ6FRYunE/s1600/photo-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SUR81ZF0a-s/T3Kla1rT76I/AAAAAAAAAak/OCPJ6FRYunE/s320/photo-6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
For the LO, I used 4 different Tattered Angels Glimmer mist colour for this project. I selected the colours to match my embellishments from Kaisercraft-Tigerlily collection. I wanted to feature the beautiful gradient of colours of my background so I printed my photo on transparency.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jJ0IGOenu-Y/T3KleAODHkI/AAAAAAAAAas/ufU1-EC21Tg/s1600/photo-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jJ0IGOenu-Y/T3KleAODHkI/AAAAAAAAAas/ufU1-EC21Tg/s320/photo-7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is the close-up of the LO. I love how it looks strong yet soft at the same time. =D<br />
