25 Days of Christmas Tags (day 1)

I was inspired to make some Christmas tags followed the lead of Tracey Mcneely at In My Creative Opinion....

My tag was inspired by Jo Nevill's beautiful tag seen HERE at original post on DAY 1 as well as Jo's Blog.

Jo was using red ink on kraft, and I really love that idea and decided to give it a try too...

The background images are stamps from Papertrey Ink Quilted Winter and I am sorry I don't know where is the die from, let me know if you have answer for that.

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 431 ~ Pet Company

If you are here much, you should already know my Papillon is big part of my life.....

  

and I really really really love him.....

not just Papi, I also love the other two dogs that visit me often and I pet-sit frequently, Clare's dog Lila....

and Dolce's dog Alfie Coconut....

I love them all!

I am sure many of you are like me, love our pet dog, pet cat etc......

So this week at City Crafter Challenge Blog, I named the theme...

PET COMPANY

We want to see a project related to your pet, here's mine

this is a mini album I made for Dolce, lots of Alfie's pictures...

The title of this album is Dog Rules for Humans.

all the stamps and dies used are from My Creative Time...

I know, lots of photo, well, can't help since it is an album with lots of pages, now hop over to City Crafter Challenge Blog and check out the CCCB Designers!

During the move to our new house, I noticed I have tons of crafting supplies that I rarely touch in years, so I decided to part with them to prepare for our next move, LOL!

I've added some new craft punch if you are interested, they are all cheaper than I posted elsewhere, so please take a look - Crafty Stuff for Sale.

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 422 ~ Butterflies

Is it Autumn yet??? Boy, it is hot here in Las Vegas, living here for 8 years, I think this is the hottest summer ever, I know, Vegas is hot in the summer, but if I recall, the other summer has some breaks in between, meaning there were days that we don't feel that bad, but this summer is just a long stretch of hot days, I just want to stay home all the time, can't wait for it to be over! However, we are running around on weekends as well, mostly to the new house and discuss about what we are putting in the 1/2 acre lot backyard. A pool crosses our mind, both DH and I are not swimmers, but it seems like a pool could really adds value to homes, we love the sound of water, that is why we put in a fountain at our current house few years ago....

it is really soothing listening to the sound of the fountain, but for the new house, I am thinking of something modern that has a clean line.... like this one we saw at model home..

since we intend to dig a big hole to make a fountain, might as well put in a pool, just in case we want to sell the house in the future, what do you think?

Ok, here's the project for the challenge this week at City Crafter Challenge Blog.

The theme is Butterflies, check out challenge details HERE!

after I made the card, my daughter asked for some gift tags that she could use for the gift she is giving to her co-worker, so I just make a few based on the same theme as the card...

Come join us at City Crafter Challenge Blog!

I've updated the page Crafty Stuff for Sales, check it out, there might be some new items you will be interested, thanks!!!!

New Home and Holiday Card

We have been busy, getting ready to move and selling our current house, besides the Master bedroom, an office space, a casida with bedroom, small kitchen space and living area, we also have two other bedrooms, we have been changing our mind on whether I want to have a REAL craft room using one of the bedroom, or just share the office space with hubby, which means crafting storage space is limited, I like the idea of having both bedrooms as guest room, but then on the other hand, we only will have a house full once a year when all three kids are home, kind of a waste to leave the two bedroom empty as guest room and not a room cater to our daily life, so we are switching back and forth many times, trying to talk ourself into one idea from the other, what do you think I should do? Have a full size craft room and one guest bedroom or cut down my craft supplies by a lot and share the office space with DH?

Anyway, regardless my decision, there are things that I think I will never use again, I list them HERE before I post at ebay, let me know if you are interested in any, I will continue to clean up and add more photos, for now, check them out HERE!!!

So here's my current craft room....

it is a loft on the upstairs of our current house, it is my very first craft room because I used to craft on our kitchen counter while we live in NYC.

I do have a lot of stuff in the closet, they also spread to Clare's room after she moved out, and there also took up a lot of space in our garage, so I do have a lot of things that I need to get rid of.

Alright, share some ideas if you would!

Next is a holiday card for a Jewish friend.....

when I send holiday cards in December, I often struggle with what kind of card I should send to my Jewish friend, well.... I think I have a solution now.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget, check out THIS PAGE regularly as I will be posting some of my stuff over there.

Have a fun-filled weekend!

Paperless Post Review

As much as I love making handmade cards and sending them, sometimes life gets into ways and suddenly you realized that you are so close to missing someone's birthday, hmmmm.... what do you do when things like this happened? Well, I found a solution....

Paperless Post

My cousin's birthday is June 1st and we have a 15 hours time difference, that means, I have no time to send her a card via snail mail, now here's the birthday card for her...

PaperlessPost has tons of cards for all occasion, they are all so beautiful and I have no problem finding one I like, just look at the choices HERE!
