Beach Mae

Last one from Some Odd Girl June Digi release. Peeps, meet Beach Mae. :)

That shimmery bottom background was made of clear microbeads. Back in the days, microbeads were quite the trend in scrapbooking. Like around 2003-2004. Yep, I have them stashed since then. Old, old, old stuff.

I covered the cardstock strip with doubled sided tape and sprinkled the microbeads on top of it and gently rub in to get them really stick. In person, you could see the fun texture much better. For more inspiration from the DT gals, please check Some Odd Girl blog.

Sigh, this card makes me want to go the beach. I hear Hawai'i calling my name. :)

Cheers Kaylee

I am loving the color green at the moment. I think this green just look so refreshing. And, against the white background it stands out nicely. 

Everyone, meet Some Odd Girl Cheers Kaylee!

This is one of my favorite SOG card that I ever made. The whole look of the card totally make my heart beat a bit faster. It just looks so clean & chic. And, am pretty tickle with the sunglasses.

And it's Wednesday, perfect day for happy hour in my book. Cheers.... :)

Tropical Mae

Phew.... what a week this past one week been for me! Between my puggy being sick and working on submission for private call, it was hectic. I did managed to complete roughly 30 cards. Some for submissions, some for DT works, some for CHA, etc. I actually had 2 weeks to work on the submission part, heh..., but as usual my brain didn't start to have all the neat ideas till it's under pressure or in other words as the deadline approaching fast.

Among those card is my card for Some Odd Girl new release week.  This week, Some Odd Girl is releasing 4 fabulous & beautiful digis. Today, we're introducing Tropical Mae.

I think this image would be fun to use for beach theme bridal party invitation as well or any beach theme party. She's just so pretty, in my opinion. As you can see, I am still enjoying playing with spray mist. :)

The DT girls has created some fabulous sample for you, please check them out at Some Odd Girl blog.

Now, I need to let my brain take a break from thinking about card. ;)

Ollie & Birthday Stuff

In our household, the puggies ruled. :) That's just the way it goes. I know, lately I've been showing Eli pics, but today, it's time to share Ollie's pic as she just celebrated her 14th birthday. 

Ollie is my first baby. I have her since she was only 8 weeks old and she is one feisty, bossy pug, but we love her. This week is not the best week for her, though. She's been coughing non-stop and on Wednesday (which was her birthday) we had to take her in to the vet and they suspected collapsed bronchia, and due to her age, surgery is not an option.

So, right now she's under 4 different medications. Needless to say, hubby and I haven't had a good sleep this week. And, I want to thank hubby for being such a great dad to Ollie. Even though he's only been part of Ollie's life for the past 5 years, he loves her so much and really take care of her and spoiling her. She is his buddy. He even share (or more like give up) his man cave with her. 

14 is pretty old for dogs and I am grateful to still have her with us. The doctor said her heart is a strong one for her age. To Ollie, happy birthday baby girl, despite causing us lack of sleep, we love you bunches.

Since today, all about dog, I want to share this card that was published on Paper Crafts Practical Solutions a while back. The sentiment reflect how I feel about my puggies. :)

The dog was inspired by Picasso one line drawing and I freehand shape the dog. I think beside my fish card, this is one of the card I am most proud of. Shaping wire is tricky, especially when you're like me, where you want the line to be super straight. I tried to make a pug shape and ended up with messed up, crushed wire because I got frustrated. LOL.

And, speaking about birthday, my brother finally got my belated birthday card and I just love him for bragging and sharing my card with his followers on twitter (he has tons of followers). My family supports always means the world to me. This is his twitter POST, sharing this pic that he took.

Enjoy your Friday everyone.

Flowery Cards

Good morning, lovely peeps! And, happy Wednesday. Today, I have a post up on May Arts blog as we are teaming up with Lawn Fawn. You can check out my project HERE and would so appreciate it if you check it out and leave some love. Just for leaving comments, you'll get entered to May Arts & Lawn Fawn giveaway.

Then, last week Lori Whitlock emailed me asking if she could highlight my project that I previously made for May Arts on her blog. Of course, I said yes. I love Lori's designs and you know how much I love sharing anything I made using Mister Q (that's my Silhouette in case you wonder who is Mister Q).

Here's the card that being highlighted on Lori Whitlock's blog today (originally posted on May Arts blog HERE back in April).

Continuing with flower, below is a card I made using Kuretake water color markers. I colored the stamp with the markers then spray mist it with pearl water  mixture, so the flower actually has a nice shimmer to it. Id the same thing to the leaves.

Clean and simple. Just the way I like it. Have a blessed day, everyone!

Lawnscaping Patterned Paper Challenge

Hi everyone and welcome to the first week of June. At Lawnscaping we have a new, fun patterned paper challenge for you sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.

And, here's my card using Lawn Fawn bright side patterned paper.

As you can see, I am going through the misting/spatter craze at the moment. :) For this card, I actually used Tatter Angel glimmer glaze and flick the brush gently to get the spatter. I hope you will play along. For more inspiration from the DT please check out Lawnscaping blog.

Next, is a couple cards I made for my SIL in Indonesia. She needed some cards and doesn't want to use store bought cards, so here I am happily stepping in. Last week, I made a similar card, HERE. This time I make it totally one layer and using the sentiment from Papertrey Mover & Shaker set.

I have this bird stamp for three years now and can't believe that I really haven't use it much till now. The bird design is so pretty and it helps in making a pretty and quick cards. Glad that this stamp is finally get some loving. :)

Have a great week, peeps!

SOG Color Challenge

Hi peeps! This is my second post for today. For previous post please scroll down.

Happy June (which is my birthday month, so maybe I am a bit partial to this month) and with the beginning of June, it's also the beginning of a new challenge at Some Odd Girl. This time it's a color challenge. Here's a look at the inspiration pic for the colors.

Love the vintage look of this pic and love the sentiment even more. I think it's something that we all should aim to be. :) Anyway, here's my card using Under the Sea Mae.

Yep, love this li'l mermaid. I think it's one of the prettiest & cute mermaid stamp. You'll definitely will see me using this set quite a bit. Anyway, you have a month to play along, the deadline is right on my birthday, June 28th!  Easy to remember, right? Hah... For more inspiration from the DT please check out Some Odd Girl blog.  Cheers....

Canine Friends

If you have followed  my blog for awhile, you know that I love dogs and animal in general. So, when Melania Deasy started her own digi design and asked me to make a a couple cards using her image, I immediately jump in, especially when she, knowing my love for animals, sent me a super cute doggy set called Canine Friends.

Here'a a couple of my card using the doggy images. 

Ack... isn't this li'l bulldog adorable? Love that his tongue is hanging out. :) Next is another cutie.

To purchase the set and to find more samples using this adorable set please check out Melania Deasy's blog HERE.  I am entering these cards to Moxie Fab Spatter challenge.

On another note, sigh... I didn't make it to Gallery Idol Top 20. I didn't dare to hope much anyway, seeing so many gorgeous cards on the gallery, but still feeling a bit disappointed. On the other hand, I am excited that my friend Anita Recksiedler made it and two of my favorite card makers Agniezka & Jennifer Rzasa also made it. I cannot wait to see what these talented group of ladies will create for the first challenge! Let the excitement begin. :)

Thank you all so much for stopping by here. I truly appreciate your visits. Enjoy your Friday. :)
