March Guest Designer Post: Star Student

Hey there, readers!

It's Thanh, your March Guest Designer, back with my final post this month. I can't believe how quickly this month has gone by and how appreciative I am of all your wonderful comments and support! Thanks so much; you know how to make a girl feel at home.

While I don't have any kiddos of my own, yet, I couldn't resist making a school related project with Yumi with Bookbag. I know that most of your kids have just returned or are due to return from spring break so I thought it would be cute to send them off with a card to get back into it:

Yumi really is a star with her outfit and her bright eyes:

These are the Copic markers I used for her clothes and bookbag:

These are the Copic markers I used for her hair, skin, eyes and cheeks:

Renate and Leanne, thanks again for having me! This isn't goodbye, but just a see you later! ;)

Guest Designer Post - Springtime Yumi

Hi Yumi & Fumi friends!

I hope that your week started off great so far. It`s Thanh - the March Guest Designer - back with another project to share with you. 

Playing along with the Yumi & Fumi Challenge No. 12 and being the first day of Spring tomorrow, Yumi with Fan was perfect for this:

I am enjoying all the pastels this spring and I wanted to play up some of the bolder colours on my card so the paper lanterns and the cherry blossoms were perfect!

Here are the Copic markers I used for her hair and skin:

For Yumi`s dress, fan and shoes:

Look at the yummy prize pack you have a chance of winning if you play along in the Challenge:

To get more details on the challenge and to see the Design Team`s projects, see this post here.

Thanks for stoppin` by today! If you have any questions, go ahead and leave me a comment or hop on over to my blog. Xo Thanh

Guest Designer Post: Stylish and Hip Chase

It's your March Guest Designer, Thanh, here with Chase; the stylish and hip!

I have always loved this image of Chase as he reminds me a little of Chuck from Gossip Girl. Excuse my guilty pleasure-teeny bopper indulgence, but the hair and the smile are perfect!

I wanted to keep my card simple and still mailable, so I kept the embellishments down to a minimum and let the patterned paper and the image speak for themselves. How do you go about making masculine cards? I'm always curious to know how everyone does their own thing. If you want to learn a little more about my process, click on over to my blog here. I'm doing a 3 part series on making masculine cards. 

Here are the Copics I used for his hair, skin and eyes:

The coloursI used on his blazer, tie, pants and shoes:

Thanks for dropping by today and visiting me at the Yumi and Fumi Blog. xo t

 

Hangin' with Friends & Sketch Reminder

Hey there, friends!

It's your March Guest Designer, Thanh, here. Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm so excited to be creating alongside the team this month. 

Since this is my first official post, I figured I better start it off by using the first concept image by Yumi & Fumi:

I really wanted to embrace the friendship theme of hanging out with friends, so I let this set of heart papers guide the way for my colour scheme:

Do you recognize the layout? Still plenty of time to play along with the bi-weekly challenge here at the Yumi and Fumi blog:

 For you Copic fans, here are the markers that I used to colour up the girls:

Before I go, I wanted to say thanks again to Leanne and Renate for the oppurtunity to design for them this month! Such lovely ladies and a bit silly, too! LOL For more of our photo booth photos, visit my blog here.

Have a wonderful Tuesday! xo Thanh

Welcome to our March Guest Designer

Morning everyone!

Today we'd like to say a big MAHALO to Denice Bartucci for being our fabulous guest designer for January and February.  She regaled us with humorous stories and gorgeous creations to keep us wanting more each week.  We're sad to say Aloha to her but know she won't be going too far. 

Thanks Denice you will always be a part of our ohana...

As we say Thank you to Denice we also say Welcome to our March Guest Designer. 

Say a big ALOOOOHA to Ms. Thanh Vo! 

 

Thanh Vo Yummy Creations

Hello there! I’m Thanh (pronounced “tan”). I live in the Metro Vancouver area of Canada in a suburban apartment. I'm so excited to be joining the Yumi & Fumi Handmade team for March! I've been admiring the cute images for awhile now and when I met Leanne and Renate at CHA in January, I knew they had my heart! I work full-time during the day and can be found in my little craftin' haven at night either sipping a cup of tea or a yummy martini! I'm also currently designing for Your Next Stamp and I'm a Bartender at Raise the Bar. If you would like to learn more about me, please visit my blog. Take care and I look forward to creating with you.

 

 Here is her first official Yumi & Fumi Handmade card featuring Yumi with Fan.

Here are the list of Copics that she used:

Thanh will start her term on Friday and will be here for the month of March.  Stop by every Tuesday as she'll be starting where Denice left off.

Of course we had to ask her to fill out our DT survey:

1. Social butterfly or Timid Turtle?

Flutter, flutter, flutter.

2. Sunrise or Sunset?

I love sunrises! There’s something so appealing about the quiet mornings.

3. Fruity or Minty?

Oh this is a tough one. How about fruity gummy candies and minty chocolate.

4. Ocean or Mountain?

I’m not a swimmer and my area of Canada is surrounded by mountains so I would say mountain!

5. City or Small town?

Definitely a City girl.

6. Cadbury or Hershey?

Mmm… the Cadbury chocolates in Canada are delicious!

7. Nutty or Smooth?

Peanut butter? Smooth, please! Personality, nutty! lol

8. Paper, plastic or reusable?

I am always collecting things and I don't need more things - so please let it be recyclable.

9. Flip flops or sneakers?

Give me a comfy pair of sneakers and I can run around all day long.

10. Coke or Sprite?

Coke.

11. Fairy or Vixen?

Depending on the time of day, I can be sweet as a fairy or vengeful like a vixen.

12. Vampire or Werewolf?’

I only likes ones that are named Angel, Spike and Oz. ;)

13. CAS or Not enough embellishments?

How about a medium of both? I love patterned papers so I normally let those speak to me and go from there.

14. Copics or Other?

I love my Copics.

15. Rubber or Digital?

I love the feel and smell (yes, I said smell) of a rubber stamp in my hand so my vote goes to rubber.

16. To glitter or not to glitter?

No glitter. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE. Give me a bottle of Stickles, though, and I'm a happy stamper!

17. 3-D or the flatter the better?

If I'm mailing the card, I design flat and if I am hand delivering the card, I try adding more layers.

18. Ribbons or Flowers?

Ribbon is more versatile.

19. Tim Holtz or Tim Gunn?

I had to Google Tim Gunn so I’m going to go with Tim Holtz on this one, lol!

20. I can’t live without this crafty item…
My Scotch ATG Gun!

Oh I have a feeling she'll fit right in with our team! 

Reminders:

Challenge #10 ends on Friday, March 1st at noon.

Challenge #11 starts on Sunday, March 3rd

Have a fabulous day and stop by Thanh's blog to say hello and welcome her to the team.

Hugs,

Leanne
