Grumble

Did you know that a group of pug is called grumble? Yep, one of my pug knowledge. LOL.

And, with that introduction, here's my grumble. Peeps, I sure am having fun with this Sweet Stamp Shop Pug Life set.

Slowly but surely, my pug collection is growing. Well, super quick post today. Just want to share this card. And... my love of pug. Pug rules my world! :)

Pugs & Kisses

For those of you that have known me for quite a while, you know how much I loveeee pugs. At least once a week, I have someone tag me either on FB, Instagram or pm me pug related stuff. I guess, it's safe to say I am the crazy awesome pug lady. :)

Needless to say, when Sweet Stamp Shop coming out with their pug set, I have at least 3 friends who tagged me. And, yep, I ordered the set within the first hour it's available in the store. I rarely ever say no to cute pug stuff. Hah!

So, here you go....

And, that cutie pug figurine is just one of the few pug collectible that I have. Haha... Not obsessed at all, right?

When I finally could have my own dog, I always know I want to have a pug. I honestly don't remember of even seeing a real pug in person growing up, I just know I will have a pug. Before I got one, I  bought a couple pug books & learned everything I could about it as I want to make sure I'd be a good pug mom. For me, dogs are for life, so I want to make sure I understand what it takes to have a pug.

Ollie was my 1st pug. Followed by Milo, Eli and Clyde. They're my heart. Clyde is my foster failure. After being his foster mom for a month, I just couldn't give him up. Pugs are a full of characters. They're funny, spunky, bossy, yes often lots of work, and they shed like crazy. Most importantly they're full of love.

Once you go pug, you can't go back. Hah!! All I can say, I am so happy with this set and will definitely be playing with this set more. That's all from me today. Cheers...

While waiting, let us introduce you to a cute li'l bat from the set Fang-tastic.

The funny thing was when I first saw this harlequin dies, I was honestly just ho hum about it. I almost didn't use it on any of my card. But, goodness, once I decided to play with it, I was surprise at how much I like it. I like so much that I used it two days in a row (see my card from yesterday). The only bad thing... my hand is now hurting from coloring the inserts!!

The sequins sprinkle I put on my card is from Warm Golden Glow Sparkly Shaker collection. Yep, in case you forget or didn't know, SugarPea carries beautiful sequins mix collection.

SugarPea Sweet Peek Day 3

Hi peeps! Welcome to day 3 of SugarPea Design sweet peek. I hope you've been enjoying the festivities. Today, we're introducing a super cute set by our newest designer, called Fall Fox.

It is seriously adorable set! Here's my 1st card:

I have to say I am pretty impressed with myself for using this dark orange color. Hah! Very, very rare where I reach for this color. 

Now, I was going to go with just 1 card, but then I saw a card by my team mates  Simonne Clay and I just love her card so much that I ended up making another card inspired by hers.

The color combo on this harlequin background makes me happy. Sigh... blue... it made such a difference on fall color card. ;)

SugarPea Sweet Peek Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of SugarPea Designs sweet peek! With fall just around the corner, I am sure you're expecting some fall related set, right? Well, for today, we're excited to show you Lovely Leaves stamp set along with its coordinating dies.

Now. I have to admit that fall cards are my least favorite card to make, simply because I was struggling with the fall colors. I find them a bit depressing sometime. I know, I know, how could it be, right? What can I say, I love bright, happy colors. 

Anyhooo.... I was struggling when I was working on this card. I already stamped all the leaves and I just was not feeling it. Then, I start browsing Pinterest and saw some graphic design where they add blue/teal to the fall color combo. I was immediately, that's it!! That's what I need. A pretty, light, blue color to liven up my card. Somehow that light color makes all the difference in my color world.

And, I got even giddier when Wendy created one of the banner for this release using this card! The very card that I was struggling with!

Just A Random Post

Hi peeps. How's thing going? It's been super quiet here isn't it. Sorry, I just been mojoless lately and just hasn't been creating a whole lot. However on the bright side, I've been slowly cleaning out and sorting out stuff around the house.

Every now & then, I just go through a period, where I just feel the need to go inward. Where I don't really want to create and just in really weird mood. Not necessarily bad mood, just weird. Can't quite explain it. So, when that happened, I usually like to take my time go  through my closet, the pantry or piles of papers, magazine that been waiting to be organized. The act of sorting and throwing out stuff seems to help clear the clutter in my head as well.

This weekend, I finally sold my Creative Memories albums, several refill pages and page protector. I used to be their consultant and always though that one of this day I'll get back and continue my old scrapbook projects. I mean, I have kept them from 2002!! They were all still in their shrink wrapped package. How crazy is that? Well, I realized that my style of scrapbooking have change and I now prefer pocket pages or smaller album. So, thanks to Ebay I found good home for them. It feels pretty liberating to finally getting rid of old stuff and simplifying. :)

Also, we plan to move to Houston spring next year, and I don't want to move stuff that I won't use or no longer bring joy for me.

Anyhoooo..... as far as card stuff, I am up on The Ton Blog today and sharing this fun project. Check it out, will you.

As you can see this post is kind of just me rambling. Let's keep the rambling short, shall we? I'll stop here and enjoy your day, peeps! Cheers.....
