Sending Smiles Across The Miles

Just a quick post to share a card I made for Mama Elephant photo inspiration challenge. I love the sharp, clean design of the inspiration pic and just have to play along. Besides it's about time I use my Mama Elephant sets more often.

                                              

I love white sofa. I always want one. However with 3 dogs I wonder if that's possible?? I just feel white sofa is like a canvas, you can make interesting by adding a splash of color or pattern here and there. One of this day, I'have a white sofa. ;) I stay with the CAS feeling for my card.

I added glossy accent on the balloons to make it shiny. And some sequins for added fun. I hope this card makes you smile. I am sending this card for my sweet niece, Shakira. I dream of kissing her cheeks, but for now some xoxo across the miles.

Holiday Pup

** For There She Goes Stamp blog hop please scroll down. **

In our family, the doggies are our kids. We have 2 pugs, Ollie, my grumpy ol' lady who is 15 going on 16 and Eli, my snuggle baby who is 1,5 year old  and 1 mutt, Abby, my hunter/toy destroyer who's also about same age as Eli. 

 

Hubby and I always say that if we ever win millions, we would open a dog rescue center with wide open space for their playground. Yep, we love doggies. How could you not? Doggies are the only being that love their human more than they love themselves. And yes, doggy rescue is a cause that I hold dearly and close to my heart.

 

Speaking about doggies, I have to say I love Some Odd Girl's Kristy Dalman! She always come out with animal images that are super duper cute & adorable. Just look at this new Holiday Pup digi.

 

Doesn't this make you smile and feeling all warm & fuzzy? This pup is so dang cute, it makes me smile just looking at it.

 

 

Want to get it? Well, then please head on over to Some Odd Girl store and if you want  more inspiration from the other Oddies, please checkout Some Odd Girl blog. Only 4 more months to Christmas!

Bring Sunshine To The Lives Of Others

Good morning everyone! How was your weekend? I hope you all have a good one.

 

I had a pretty creative weekend. Made some cards, but also do some chillin' and went out to brunch with some girlfriends. Also, after talking to my cousin, I decided to give  massage therapy a try to help me with my jaw and hand pain. It's almost like acupressure. The lady is really good, she pointed out all my problem area and what I need to do to ease the pain.

 

I still have to go back a few more times, but just from the 1st visit, I could feel a difference, especially on my hand. So, we'll see and cross my fingers I can finally feel normal. Not fun living with pain, even though it's not super painful, it's there and you kind of just deal with it. And I do prefer to try natural fix when I can instead of taking medicine. So, really hoping this will works.

 

Anyway, let's move on to card. I have this fun card to share for my i {heart} paper post. Have I told you how much I love ikat print? Hah... like a gazillion times??

 

 

Isn't the color combo so cool? I love the way this card turned out. The ikat pattern is from Wplus9 Background & Borders 1. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. Currently i {heart} papers don't have this set in stock, but there are plenty of Technique Tuesday set that's available including the new releases. So, check out the store.

 

I just love this sentiment. It's one of the sentiment that I use as guidance or as reminder in my own life.

 

BTW, you see that strip of patterned paper? Guess how old is that paper?? Yep, it's an oldie alright. From my scrap paper stash, it's from 2003-2004. ** blush**.... yes, I keep paper that old. Some papers just harder to get rid off. Hah...

 

Thank you for stopping by here and hope your week starts off fabulously!! Counting down to long weekend! 4 more days to go.... :)

 

Now That's My Cup of Tea

Hmm... I think there's some changes with me lately. Usually I am not one that often do cards with flowers on it. But, with all the gorgeous flower stamps that been coming out, I find myself reaching for the flower sets more and more. :)

For today's card I was inspired by Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Now That's My Cup of Tea. 

                                            

In my head the plate color would make the perfect background color, so I based my card from there. The white of the cup makes the flower pattern stands out and gives a clean look and since I know I want to do flower cluster, I want my sentiment to stand out, thus I do the sentiment in white.

The vine pattern on the patterned paper is pretty soft, so I can use it without making the card too busy. The flowers are from Papertrey Ink. I just got my order from PTI, so this weekend I play with PTI a lot. :)

That's it from me today. I have massage and brunch plan with my girlfriends, so I better get going. Thank you for swinging by here. Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!
