His Grace is Sufficient for me

Life is full of Ups and Downs =) I faced some difficulty recently and life is kind of stress =) However, God's greece is sufficient for me. Today, Yee Boon, who is good in creating mini clay toys, gave me a nice iPhone ear plug and at the same time, she passed me some supplements from an angel. She said: the angel preferred to be secretive. 

When i looked at the love gifts, suddenly it just feel like God talking to me: "Marlene, do no worry about tomorrow. I know your problems. I know your situations. I will take care of you. I will NOT ONLY provide you will sufficient food, i will provide you with Extra nutritions and dessert as well! Lean on ME. Leave it to ME."

This inspired me to create the below card to express my gratitude- Angels, thank you =)

Visit Yee Boon's creations here. She is not only good in handmade thinggy, but she is good in photography too!!!

Sending smile across the miles

Playing with Washi tape again

My church requested for 6 Thank you cards - and i took it as challenge for me to make card in such a busy month. However i quite happy with the outcome - and i am really in love with Washi tape (Special thanks to Angeline Yong who reminded me of this tape!)

Washi-10-Q-card

I am in love with Washi tape but i don't have a lot >< I bought these 3 mt Washi tape in 2009 and only using them often these few months after sawing how people play with these tapes recently. However, i only have plain design though ><

I made this card to express my gratitude to a friend who allowed me to stay with her during my trip to Beijing. She, Tina, not even prepared a nice room for me, she even prepared breakfast for me everyday and spent time at night, sharing His words to me. She made my trip even fruitful than i expected =) Thank you Tina.
