IF - Immovable

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late post today. This drawing took me way longer than I thought. It took me 4 hours to draw this illustration. I wonder why it took me so long. lol.. anyways... This week's topic is Immovable. I would also like to name this illustration Tangled by hearts(in a good way... lol). I will consider making this into digital stamp... what do you think? =)


Hope you like it....have a great weekend! =)

Sweet honey sweet

Good morning everyday! Today I'm showing my down card! I really love this card because its so colorful, it makes me happy when I look at it =) I used the honey jar image from the Costume Set. I finally bought a white pen, I always wanted to but for some reason I kept forgetting about it when I was at the crafts store?? I love stitches! So, YAY I can finally add white stitches and highlight to the images! =)

IF - Atmosphere

I woke up this morning to check out the IF new topic.. and I went on my mac to start drawing right away. This week's topic is Atmosphere. At first I planned to draw Little Bear in the forest wondering around, but that will look too much like Alice in Wonderland doesn't it? lol.... When I started drawing in the bushes, I thought it will actually look amazing if the bushes turns into colorful clouds!! I also turned the trees into clouds. Cloud high up and below! Today is a sunny day so I added a big round sun too. It is a happy atmosphere =)

I hope you like it =)

my first IF drawing..

I know about Illustration Friday for quite a long time already. I joined their group on Flickr and love seeing how everyone is inspired by their weekly topic. This week's topic is "Star Gazing"... I had an urge to draw my first Illustration Friday project after I saw the topic. Last week I was talking to a good friend of mine about how I wish there's a forest just like the one in Avatar with glow in the dark plants... and there will be fireflies all over the sky with millions of stars shining at me... So this is what I came up with...

Looks like Little Bear is getting quite popular, so I've made a card with Little Bear's Specially for you stamp. I wanted to make it with more layers and a little bit of dimension.

CCM'S BIG RENOVATION!!

Hello everybody! I'm finally back to blogging! As you can see Chi Chi Memories has been going through a HUGE renovation!! We have new shop, new blog, new challenge blog! The reason of all these changes is because of the new shop that I've put up. I wanted to make a shop that is more convenient for customers. Unfortunately putting up a pretty shop has caused a lot of minor problems. I had problem with my old blog's linking and that's why I haven't been able to doing any blogging for the past week. It was a pain to find a solution so finally I've decided to move the blog to Blogger! I actually have always wanted to move the blog to Blogger since most of the crafters are using Bloggers or Wordpress. This way we are easier to interact! I hope everyone will enjoy my new blog!

I've also FINALLY fixed the uploading problem I've had with the new online shop. I wasn't able to upload the digital stamps, but they are working fine now! Now you can download the digis right after your purchase! I'm so happy that everything seems to be getting together =) Here's a screenshot of my shop!! TA-DA!!! http://www.chichimemories.com


Let's not spend too much time talking! We've miss out a lot last week! My DT has been making beautiful cards and I really appreciate their time and effort they've put on the CCM projects. Let's take a look:
