Paper Made Bakery Farewell

Today I am posting my last post for Paper Made Bakery. It's been a fun 6 months designing and working for them. Shannon is so sweet and easy to work with. Thank you Shannon for the opportunity. Please check out my post HERE as I am sharing some of my favorite PMB project.

One of them is this layout that I made of my baby boy of course. :)

That wrinkly face, that tongue and that cute expression... gahh... who could resist it? Of course, I am bias since I am his human. ;)

PMB July Release Blog Hop

Happy July and welcome to Paper Made Bakery blog hop. We have beautiful kit put together for this month. I think you'll agree with me once you see what's included in this kits called "Classy Lady".

First, here's my card:

This big, bold flower is simply gorgeous! And it's layered, too! With a statement flower like this, you don't need sentiment, you can leave the card just the way it is.

The big flowers in this kit is my favorite items on this kit. And the paper pad and the stamp set is awesome as well. The sentiment on the stamp set has fab font combination. 

Here's a look at the kit, which you can purchase HERE.

Now, check out what my teammates has created for this hop:

Paper Made Bakery May Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to Paper Made Bakery Blog Hop. Today we are celebrating the release of May kit called "On The Go" and I have to say this is one of my favorite kit. I simply love everything that's included in this kit.

Without further delay, here's my card.

I love the gray arrow ribbon and the wood veneer Polaroid frame. I colored the frame by rubbing the inkpad directly on it and added the puffy heart sticker inside it. And the sentiment stamp set is so awesome. You definitely won't be disappointed if you get this kit.

And, of course a blog hop would be even more fun with a giveaway, right? Well, we are giving away a Mini Fresh Baked Kit. You'll have until the end of the week to enter. We'll announce the winner on PBM blog, Twitter and Facebook. 

Please hop along and find some inspirations along the way.

Remembering My Dad

Today is my dad's birthday. He would have turn 75 is he's still here. And, I still miss him even though he's been gone for more than 11 years. I think when you loose a love one you will never stop missing them.

Many, many moments come and go where I thought, "Oh, how I wish he was here to see this or to experience this moment." I missed him at my wedding. Wished he could have met my hubby. Missed him when I went home for Christmas. Missed him at my brother's wedding. I wish he could see how his little girl finally grow up and do well. And, I wish my niece Shakira could have met him. He would so spoil her rotten.

So many memories comes through my mind as I typed this post. I have this picture framed and displayed in our living room. This was from Christmas eve 1994. It was the last time all of us together as complete family for the holidays. After that there's always one of us missing as we all have different things going on.

It took me over a year before I finally fully accepted he was gone. Because at that time of his passing I was already in the States that many time I felt like he was just away in Indonesia instead of really gone. During that first year, I could burst into tears at any time at random time. Now, I only cried when I feel melancholy or nostalgic. Like right now. You'd think after 11 years I won't cry anymore....

I like to think that he is up in heaven now playing with Oscar & Ceasar, his rottweilers and hopefully with Milo my pug that I lost back in 2004. I imagine he spend his time hanging out with his old friends and watching over us. To dad, wherever you are, I still think of you and miss you. Happy birthday, dad.

I know many of you come here for crafty projects, but for today, I want to take the time to share my thoughts and feeling about my dad.

I do have a card up on Paper Made Bakery blog. Here's the sneak peek of my card and you can see the full card at Paper Made Bakery.

Thank you for letting me share my personal story. Have a blessed day everyone.

Paper Made Bakery April Blog Hop

Good morning everyone and welcome to Paper Made Bakery April blog hop. This month our kit is called Vintage Daydream and it contains lots of fabulous goodies.Here's a look at what's included in this kit:

Can you see the amazing goodies here? The paper pad is from Crate Paper and it's a pretty thick one. You get lots of paper there. So, in spirit of the celebrating this kit, I decided to create a card using the pretty papers from the pad.

Shocker... I actually used 3 different patterned papers. ;) I think I am getting better at using more patterned papers which was my goal when I joined PMB. Slowly  but surely.

Please check out what my teamies has created for this hop and who knows, you could bet he lucky one to win our giveaway.

Focus On The Good Thing

As I grow older, one attitude that I really take to heart is the gratitude attitude. I find it that when I am focusing on the good thing it makes me happy. Even when things were not so sunny,  you can't help smiling and feeling better when you take the moment to appreciate the blessings you have in your life.

One of the many blessings that I do appreciate is the many friendship I have made through blogging and paper crafting. One of those people is Kristy Dalman the founder and owner of Some Odd Girl. I joined SOG back in 2011 and I am thrilled to announce that I get to be part of SOG team again for the 4th term.

I am a loyal person and especially when you get to work with someone who listen to your ideas and suggestion it means a lot (she knows I love critters and I can't thank her enough for designing more adorable critters stamps). So, I am super excited that Kristy decided to keep me. Besides being an Oddies challenge me to continue improving my coloring skill.

Yesterday and today at SOG blog, Kristy is announcing the new team. To celebrate, I made this card for SOG April sketch challenge.

This is one of my favorite Gwen stamp. I paper pieced her dress and for the embellishment I added the chipboard element from October Afternoon. Pretty proud of myself considering I used 4 different patterned paper and a chipboard embellishment. And the card still look pretty CAS!

You can play along and enter the challenge (and check out the sketch) HERE.

Also, today is my day at Paper Made Bakery. I would so love and appreciate it if you also check out my post there: Paper Made Bakery  Here's a sneak peek of my card:

Let's finish off today's post with a question shall we? What good things happened to you so far for 2013? Did you get to join a new DT? Did you get a new job? Please share and let us focus on the good thing. Like they say when you focus on the good thing, more good things will come your way. :)
