Christmas is around the corner, are you ready for the holiday yet?

Did you have your Christmas music on the radio?

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017

This is the first time I participated in The 25 Days of Christmas Tags by Tracey McNeedly. There are wonderful tags created everyday for this occasion, it is fun and very inspiring! You can find direct link up HERE!

I want to make as many tags as possible but unfortunately, time is an issue for me, I tried my best to come up with the first one (hopefully there will be more in the coming days)

My tag was inspired by Amy Kolling on Day 6 post

See Amy's original post HERE!

I have a couple of Christmas stamp and die set from lil' inker Designs, hoard them for a while now and just can't wait to ink them....

I love those little mittens, hat and snowflakes.....

silver, red and blue inks were used on these, and I backed them with silver glitter paper, the tag die is product of Papertrey Ink.

I hope to find more time this coming weeks to make more tags, stop by Tracey's blog to check out The 25 days of Christmas tags.

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 387 ~ Love and Peace, Man

This week at City Crafter Challenge Blog, the theme is Love and Peace, Man.

Check out challenge details HERE!

My project is one I made for the Saturday scrapbooking class.

the kids in the class are all teenagers, so they are able to handle this... they supposed to make a box first, just like a match box except it is bigger, and next is to decorate the inside of the box.

I thought I'd show you the cover of the box as well.....

I hope you could join in the fun at...

Pray for Las Vegas and NBUS ##12

Thanks to those who has been asking, yes, here in Las Vegas, we are in a sad mood now.

Pray for Las Vegas

A city that I called home for the past 7 years.

DH and I go to the strip often, to eat, to play poker, and show friends around when they come visit, we were lucky that we were not at that particular casino that night, we supposed to meet up with friends to have dinner at the SLS casino, arrived there and found out that the went to a wrong location, so we drove to China Town to meet them instead, and then sent them back to their hotel at The Palms, these friends are from San Francisco, they come to Vegas often, and they stayed at those hotel on the strip every single time except this time, they decided to try out the service apartment at The Palms, whew...... however, everyone here is with a heavy heart though, school were let out early, and people were donating blood and bring supplies like water, sneak and blanket to the convention center for the families who flew here to find their loved ones. Once again,.......

pray for Las Vegas!

When I see the NBUS challenge #12 at Darnell's blog, I just had to play along, look at my piles of NBUS....

and this is only a small portion, the new NBUS, LOL! I don't have the guts to dig into my craft storage yet! : 0

Christmas is on the way, I feel like I need to start working on those holiday cards....

the patterned paper is a book of 12x12 Christmas collection I bought long time ago when Michaels had them for $5

the Christmas tree die and stamp, sentiment die, they are all my NBUS from Lil'inker designs

I believe it was their Christmas release two years ago.

now all I need to do is to make 10 or 20 of them.....

I believe you have lots of NBUS too, why don't you come join in the fun at....
