Paper Made Bakery Day

On May 15, my dear brother, Jeffrey & my SIL, Regina is celebrating their 18th anniversary. Or you could look at it as 25th anniversary considering they were together for 7 years before they got married. They were highschool sweetheart and I think the world of them.

 

Here's my anninversary card for them that I made using Paper Made Bakery On The Go kit. To see the full card please stop by Paper Made Bakery.

I {Heart} U

Happy Monday! Sorry that my blog been a bit quiet. Have quite a few things going on as I am trying to get things done in advance before my vacation starts. And, sometime life takes precedence over card making as well. My BFF was needing a shoulder to lean on and we ended up spending the whole Saturday shopping and hanging out. Nothing beats therapy like a good shopping. I had lots of fun playing as a fashion adviser. ;)

I was so whooped that I went to bed early Saturday night and Sunday we celebrate Mother's Day by taking the baby (that's Eli my pug puppy) to the dog park. Hah... like any good mom, it's all about the kids, right? It was actually a bribe because he got so stressed out from getting his nail trimmed, that I feel so bad and to make it up we took him to the dog park for some fun time. He met some new friends and dip his feet in the pond.

Anyway,  that's pretty much my weekend story. How about yours? Did you do anything special for Mother's Day? 

Now, let's get down to business. It's time for a new Paper Smoochers SPARKS sketch challenge.

I love this sketch and decided to pull out some patterned paper to play with. And, here's what I made:

Can you believe it that I have this set for a while now and just now finally using the balloon images? Sigh... too many stamps, not enough time.

Want some more inspirations?? Please check out what my team mates has created at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog. Thank you for visiting here and I hope you all had a great Mother's Day.

You Color My World

A while back, Paper Crafts had a submission call that required the use of watercolor. And, I've to say it was a fun call, that even after the call ended I continue to play with watercolor.

Then, I saw Moxie Fab the wonder of watercolor challenge. I know right away I want to play along. I have this silhouette cut out that I colored with Luminarte H20 shimmer watercolor paint that I've been wanting to use and this challenge is just what I needed. 

Here's  my watercolor wonder.

This silhouette is just so pretty and I think the watercolor gives it an ethereal look. I simply love the way this card turn out. My love of colors and CAS design all in one. This girl is happy. :)

Well, my countdown to my vacation time is starting. In about another week, I'll be on my way to Paris to meet my mom. I am super excited. The only downfall is hmm... I have to be away from our baby boy for a little bit. With our jasmine in full bloom, hubby took my pic with our li'l guy. I can't even begin to tell you how much this li'l boy color my world.

That's it from me today. Hope you all have a lovely day.

When Pigs Fly

Hm.... sometime you ran out of idea on what to write. But, I do want to share this CAS card that I made using the pig from There She Goes Stamp "Oh Crop" set. There's just something about animal stamps that I adore. Especially when they're cute & have smart sentiment.

 

 

 

 

The cloud is made of blue vellum and traced with stickles all around.

Short post. No idea what else to write. Happy Wednesday. :)

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.

So Lucky You Are In My Life

Yay! I finished a layout. I don't get to scrapbook as often as I'd like to, but when I do I get super happy. After all, I have tons of pictures to document.

I got inspired to scrapbook this weekend, when I saw this layout sketch from Elle's Studio.

I've been wanting to create a layout of my favorite subject, our pug puppy, Eli. He is such a poser and the pic below is my favorite picture of him with hubby. By the way, we need to clarify that he is mommy's boy first and daddy's boy second. Hah...

Gahh... his face, his expression melt my  heart every time. Yes, I love this boy very much.

The patterned papers are from American Crafts  & Jillibean. The banners and tabs are from Elle's Studio. I have a whole stash of Elle's Studio stuff waiting to be used and it's my goal to use them all.

I still need to learn on how to take good picture of a layout. So far I haven't managed that. I ended up scanning this layout.

Cheers To May

Happy May!! May is a big month in my family. My parents and my brother got married in May, my li'l brother was born in May, and.... in about 2 weeks, hubby and I will finally get to to take our first vacation to Europe. I am so excited!

Now, to celebrate the beginning of this month, Some Odd Girl has a new sketch challenge.

And, here's my interpretation of the sketch:

I know, I know there's a rectangle on  the sketch, but with  the doily on the background, I feel my card doesn't need that rectangle. :) I am pretty happy with the way this card turned out. The colors just scream spring to me. What do you think?

Also, today is the last day to send in your entry for Odd Idol. There are pretty huge prizes involves and you can't win unless you try. So, if you want to give it a try (which I really encourage you to do) you better hurry and you can check out all the rules HERE.
