Wag Your Tail "Hello"

For today I'll share a card that I made last month for magazine submission. It didn't get pick up, but I still love it. It's actually one of my favorite card. I love the simple and clean design of this card. The stamp is from Eat, Cake, Graphics.

As soon as I saw this cute doggy peering down at something, I knew it's coming home with me. :) I got like 5-6 stamps from them (really reasonably priced, especially when you get the unmounted ones) and most of them are the doggy ones.

This stamp just reminds me of my pug, Ollie, who always so curious and like to check on everything. Her way of thinking: "Oh... mommy has plastic bag filled with goodies, let me see what's in there. Or.. oh... there's the trash can, let me see what's in there, hmm... if I tip it over, let's see how much mess can I make. Well.. hello there goodies to scatter!" Yep, always peering down and checking on things.

It also makes me think of my other pug, Milo that I lost 6 years ago. Cute, cuddly little bugger that I still miss to this day. I like to think that he's hanging out with both of my dads up there now and every now then I imagine him looking down from heaven, wag his tail and say, "Hello, I am up here looking at you and looking forward to seeing you again." Maybe it just my imagination, but it sure makes me smile.



Loosing your love ones, whether it's people or pets, is hard regardless whether it's been week or years. Today is a week from when I received the news of my dad. The ache still there. But like many of you say, sweet memories of our love ones will make us smile and bring us comfort. This card makes me smile and think of many good memories. Thank you all for stopping by and I really appreciate all your sweet comments. You truly brings me comfort this past week. 

Elegant & Cute

Monday... 5 more days till weekend. I do the countdown to excite myself for the week. :) How was your weekend peeps? Mine was uneventful. After my endoscopy, I was pretty much spent the rest of the day on the sofa blissfully still in and out of my sedation. LOL, hubby said the first thing that came out of my mouth when I awake was about this tube that they put on the bed under the blanket that blow warm air.

You know they always keep  the hospital temp super cold, so I was excited when I found out that I have this tube that blow warm air to keep me comfy. And I made the nurse laughing when she unhooked it and I told her she just took away the nicest part of the bed. I love making the doctor and the nurses laugh.

Hubby used to be a paramedic and he always said if you ever become a patient and you're in a condition that can make them smile or laugh, do that. Because they have to deal with lots of depressing stuff and any little smile, laugh can make a difference. So that's what I did. Besides it makes the hospital visit more fun for myself as well. 

Anyway, here's a card that I made m using the latest release from Wplus9. Love these postage sets. My attempt at making elegant card.

Sometime hubby wonder how can I make card when I am not feeling well. It's easy. Concentrating on the card making take my mind away from whatever discomfort I might have. Of course, if it's super bad, the sofa win over card. :) Besides, when I make card like this one below, it makes me happy. This card is using a stamp from this company that I recently found Eat Cake Graphics.

This is simple, yet it's also lots of fun & cute. I think so. What do you think? This kind of card is my kind of card. Simple yet cheerful. That's it for today peep. May your week start out wonderfully. Hugs!
