Mother & Daughter

Hi everyone! Finally a layout as promised! I was going to post it tomorrow, but tomorrow is my daughter's 3rd Birthday I don't think I will have time to post! I just love her so much, can't believe how fast she is growing... way too fast for me! I'm so lucky to be able to stay home with her and enjoy every moment together!

Feel super good to do layout! I haven't been scrapbook for a long time, what's up with that? I should do it more often. This is a digital page; I just put all the digital elements together in the computer and them print it out on a piece of patterned paper. I also print out the Hero Arts digi butterflies, cut them out and adhere them on the print out page! Enjoy and have a beautiful day tomorrow!!

3. I love to watch House and So You Think You Can Dance.

4. I always love to purchase two sheets of the same patterned paper at a time, because I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the same one again after I use one! Sickness....I know! :)

5. I love to play with my daughters DS games. :)

6. I still get really excited over a box of new crayons, I love colors!!

7. I love shoes (especially high heels)! I always think that I'm not tall enough! :)

Quick Update and Blog Candy

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for all your concern and wonderful words! My back is much better and the eye infection is gone, thanks to the antibiotic!! I'm waiting for the vision to get back to normal and I'm sitting down to craft for now. Still like to stand up and make cards, it's not the same sitting down....hee hee. I had a bad case of itchy inky fingers, so I made this quick holiday card today (my fingers are feeling much better after some inky love)! :) I love pink for Christmas, do you? If it were up to me, I would have a white Christmas tree with all kinds of pink ornaments on it (I don't think my DH would like that)! :) I think this card might just be my mass produce holiday card for this year, hope you like it!!



I just got the November issue of Cards and Scrapbook Trends magazines. They are featuring two of my cards and one layout in there. I'm so excited and honored to be among so many talented artists! To celebrate my first publication ever, I have some blog candies for you! Just leave me a comment by Friday 11:59pm PST and I will randomly pick one winner for the goodies. Winner will be announced on Saturday. Good luck and have a beautiful week!

Taking A Little Break

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a beautiful week so far! Sorry I haven't been blogging for few days! Some of you knew that I had problem with my cornea and it caused my blurry vision last year, I have been on medication ever since then. Everything is fine until last week when I got eye infection and my vision is blurry again now. Hopefully, this time I will get my normal vision back after I'm done with the antibiotic!!

On top of my blurry vision; I also hurt my back! I make card standing up. So since I hurt my back and I can't stand up for too long, it's hard for me to create! I decided to take a little break to let my eyes and back heal, hopefully I will be back soon to share my work with you! However, I will be back next week to share a news and blog candy!!

For now, I will leave you with a card I made for all of you! Thank you for visiting my blog and all the sweet comments you left for me!! You all ROCK!!

Coffee, Anyone?

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Warning.....Long post today!

Do you like coffee? I do! I used to love to chat with my friends over a good cup of coffee; I enjoy the smell and the taste of it. However, now it just a tool to help me get extra energy to get through the day, so I can be a super mom...haha! :) When I see this cute little coffee cup chip board mini album from Maya Road, I knew I had to make a mini book for myself! So this is a mini album about me. I decorated the pages using some of my yummy Pink Paislee goodies; all I need is my photos and some journal. I hope you will like it!


The back of each page looks like this for photos or journal.
Some of you email me about the acrylic album I used for the cling stamps storage, I thought I would answer them here. I bought my acrylic album at my local scrapbook store, but you also buy them from the Amazon.com too. You can get any size you like, mine is 4x4 and it works great for me. I hope that answer your questions! Enjoy and have a beautiful day!
