Puppy Cuteness

If you have followed my blog for a while, you know I love doggies. I sure have a soft spot in my heart reserved just for them.

So, when I saw Kristy's drawing for this month Some Odd Girl digi release, I know I have to have this puppy one. Kristy said she thought of me when she made this one. See... why I just love, love, love being in SOG DT? Kristy always pay attention to what we love. 

Here's a look at the card I made using this cutie patootie. :)

That puppy's smile makes me think of Eli our pug puppy or as hubby like to call him li'l monster. Despite his nickname, he really is adorable. And speaking about puppy, Eli was in heaven last night because my mom let him sleep with her and that sneaky boy sneak under the blanket and snuggle with her like it's nobody business. Sigh... like they said that's what grandma's for, right? To spoil your kid!! :D

Now, back to the card. This is actually a mini card, size 4-1/2 x 3-1/4. I kind of dig this size. Hah... with my simple and clean style, the small size is really appealing to me.  Do you like making mini cards?

Check out what the DT created for this releases HERE.

Also, in two weeks I will be starting my card drive to collect holiday cards for the elderly that lives in nursing homes. Kristy the owner of Some Odd Girl has generously designed the badge for the card drive. I am telling you, she is a super girl. I asked her about it and bam... in just a couple hours... she had it done. And she must have known my style really well, because what she designed is exactly what I had in mind, but she beat me to it before I even relay my thought to her.

Anyway... if you have any nursing homes in mind that you think would love to receive the holiday cards from the card drive please let me know. I am hoping we can support 7-10 nursing homes. Please email me at wirianta at hotmail dot com and let me know. 

That's it for me today and thank you all so much for stopping by here and I notice some new followers. Welcome and I hope you find some inspiration here. Have a fantastic day everyone! :)

Kaylee's Closet Winter Warmth

This week just been crazy. The amount of work I currently have at the office is pretty staggering. I am not complaining as I am very grateful to have a job that not only provide but also enjoy. It just sometime it gets so overwhelming busy that I feel like a headless chicken running around bumping into everything.

And, I kind of mean  that literally, too. Yesterday, I hit my toes on the desk, hit my shoulder on the glass wall, etc. My boss was like what's wrong with you?? Sigh... crazy time.

Anyway, I picked up my mom from the airport, yesterday and after a hug, her first sentence to me was, "Oh my gosh, I think this will be the last trip I'll take to the States." I can't blame her. It's a long flight from Indonesia. And she is almost 71. On top of that during the 16 hours flight from Doha to Houston, there's a family with a crying toddler who cried non-stop for 9 hours. My mom was worried that she's going to go crazy.

Let just said that by the time she got here, she has fever and shaking quite a bit. Not feeling well and add crying baby on top of that, I could just imagine how uncomfortable the long trip for her. Today, she's staying at home and resting. Eli the puppy and Ollie my old gal are keeping her company. :)

Now, as I mentioned this week been just crazy, and I forgot to put up my post to introduce Some Odd Girl addition to Kaylee's Closet:  Winter Warmth.

Love it that you can dress up Kaylee in so many cool & cute outfit. Check out what the DT created HERE. 

Thanks for stopping by here and please come back tomorrow for Avocado Arts Pit Crew blog hop. :)

Angel Gwen

Yikes... this post goes up late, late. Time been just been confusing for me. Like, did you know that I almost mistaken my mom's arrival date? Yep, I thought she's arriving on Friday. And, when I called her to see how she's doing with her packing and all, she asked me if I realized that she's arriving on Thursday (she read my blog and notice that I said Friday).

Well, let's not delay any longer, shall we? Here's the new release from Some Odd Girl, called Angel Gwen.

And, here's my card:

You can see what the DT gals created using this sweet set on Some Odd Girl blog. Thank you for swinging by here. Only a few more hours before I get to pick up my mom. I am so excited. :)

Gingerbread Kaylee

I know it's only September, but for those of us who like to make our own Christmas card, September is about the right time to start working on those Christmas card, don't you think? I already start with mine, since this month Some Odd Girl is releasing some fun & cute winter and Christmas sets.

Today, we're revealing Gingerbread Kaylee and Ornament Tia. Below is Gingerbread Kaylee set.

And, here's my card using this set:

Looking at this set, makes me think of my SIL, Gina, who own her own deli business. I really wish I live closer to my family, especially when one of the member is so good at making cookies & desert. Every time she makes new recipe, she always send it to my brother to taste and comment (he has amazing taste bud and can always tell what to add and what to change) and all I can do is drooling. Sigh...

But, with my mom coming, my sweet SIL is sending me some of her cookies!! So... yay... Her cookies are so good, that hubby and I fight for it. :)

Ah... how easy my mind wander when it comes to cookies. Back to card, please check out Some Odd Girl post HERE to see more inspiration from the team. Thanks for swinging by here.

Winter Friends

Boy, do I have a productive weekend. Hubby and I did lots of cleaning and purging. It feels awesome to be rid of unnecessary stuff & clutter. Hubby even cleaned up the blinds to my delights. :) I always dreaded this task as there's just so much dust and I always end up sneezing. 

I organized all our paper works and records, sort through closets, and get the guest bedroom ready for my mom's visit. She'll be here by Friday!! We are so excited! I can't tell you how blessed I feel that hubby love my mom (he likes to call her mama-san) and he's as thrill as I am to have her. 

This week is going to be an awesome week! Not only I get to hug my mom again, Some Odd Girl is also releasing some fabby new clear stamps including this favorite of mine... a cutie patootie set called Winter Friends.

Here's my card using the super sweet polar bear baby. Just look at him. His sweet chubby cheek makes me want to squeeze him!! Hah...

After I stamped the bear on the card, I stamped it again on a piece of post-it-note, fussy cut it, and use it as a mask. Then I spray the card with Tattered Angel Caribbean glimmer mist. I am entering this for Moxie Fab Focal Point challenge.

The DT gals has created some amazing sample, so check it out HERE and treat yourself to more cuteness! May this week starts off wonderfully for you and please come back tomorrow for more releases from Some Odd Girl. :)

Neon Sweet 16

A quick post to share this card that I made using Mister Q (no, it's not a new brand of cutting machine, just my affectionate name for my Silhouette). :) And entering this card, super last minute, for The Cameo Spotlight number challenge.

Decided to jump in the neon trend. I rarely used black cardstock, but I think it show off the neon color much better than a white background. Well, really short post as I have no idea what to write at the moment.  Too many things swirling in my brain, yet none of that has anything to do with blogging. 

Thanks for swinging by here. :)
