The Cutest Umbrella.

Good morning, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and holiday!

It's Karber Monday for me, and this post features Millie Umbrella!

I just love that adorable bunny umbrella. Leave it to Berenice to create the cutest images!

How's the weather in your neck of the woods? It's in the mid to low 70s where we are spending our Thanksgiving Holiday! Crazy, huh?



Hugs,

Dream Big, Harry.

Hello folks!

It's Monday so it's time for another Karber digi feature! This time, I have Harry Potter and I've included him in this birthday card for my Godson.

And Karber clear stamps are now available on Etsy!! And right now, there is a special promotion going on -- free shipping to the U.S. Check out the store here.

I've finally bought the Wizard of Oz set that I've been looking at for years!!

Have a wonderful week!

Christmas Leslie.

Happy Monday, folks!

I hope you are having a good start of the week so far. I had a weird, but good weekend. Hubby's away on business so I'm a single mom right now :). But life still had to go on with birthday parties and get-togethers. I am, however, now knowledgeable about how to call internationally from my phone! LOL!

Today's card features this cute Karber digi (Christmas Leslie). She'd be perfect for any Holiday card!

Have a fantastic day!

Karber Photographer.

Happy Monday, peeps!

I've got this cutie Leslie Photo stamp from Karber.

I love how she's carrying her camera everywhere, kinda reminds me of myself!

Have a great week! Hope you visit the Karber blog for more DT inspiration!



XOXO,

My Edward.

Hello peeps!

For my hubby's birthday, I created him this Twilight-inspired card. The image is from Karber (Edward and Bella).

To my always and forever love.

Queen Leslie.

Hello, hello, hello!

I've got a Karber digi card for ya today!

Isn't Leslie super cute? I've dressed....err, colored her up today for Halloween as the Queen of Hearts aka the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. I wanted to do one more Halloween card before the holiday. And I thought she'd be cute as one.

I am quite partial to the Red Queen if you remember :) (refresh your memory with this post).

Enjoy your Monday!!

Hermoine!

It's another week! Hello Monday!

And for me, that means another Karber Digi DT post! My sister had a Harry Potter themed baby shower this past weekend so I was in the mood to color up Hermoine! I had a great time coloring her hair, but had a hard time with her face because I need new nibs for a couple of my Copics. The shower was a lot of fun....challenging, but fun! I'll post more on that later.

I also chose Hermoine because of the Halloween season. Anyone dressing up? Because my job consists of caring for children, I always try to dress up. The other nurses and I come up with a theme. I'm pretty excited about it...it'll be cute and funny!

Hope you visit the Karber blog and see the other DT's cards!

Byeeee!

Baby Moon.

Good morning, everyone!

There's a bit of a baby boom on my neck of the woods so I was super excited to use Baby Moon for my Karber DT card this week.

Isn't this card super cute? I wanted to make the moon realistic so I tried to add some texture :).



If you head over to the Karber blog right now and join the challenge 50, there's a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to any online craft store you like. That is such a wonderful prize!!

Have an awesome week!

Karber Hawaii.

Good Monday morning,' folks!

I'm here for my Karber DT post, and this week, I am in a l'il tropical mood! One of my dear friends, M, celebrated her birthday. She just came back from a trip to Hawaii, and she is currently going through paradise withdrawals! LOL!

So I thought the Hawaii Clear Stamp set was perfect! It used to be sold at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps but she no longer lists them. If you are interested, I can ask Berenice (owner of Karber) where they are still stocked.

This clear set is really very cute. I love Millie is so cute and pretty, and she comes with two sentiments and four other stamps - the pineapple, butterfly, sun, and flower (the sun and flower are not included here).

My plans changed this weekend, and I wasn't able to take a picture of my card until Sunday night. The sun had gone down so I photographed them two different ways -- one was with flash and one without. They are both included here. (With flash is above).



Have a great week!

Roadtrip anyone??

Hello, peeps!

I don't know about you, but I looooove to travel! Be it by air, or by car, I'm all for it. During my childhood, we didn't have a lot of luxury so vacations were always a big deal. We never went far so we always traveled by car. And because we had a big family who loved to sing, it was never boring. Actually, as a teen, sometimes, I'd block my family out by wearing my headphones. LOL!

Fast forward to my early 20s. My BFFs and I went to different colleges so I'd always try to visit them by car. I also started my Southwest frequent flyer miles going to Las Vegas or Arizona! Then, my BFFers in college would plan a trip to Palm Springs and Vegas again (hey, it's such a popular place!).

And then, when I met my DH in my mid 20s, his bro thought about moving to AZ. His BFF was already there. The housing market was booming. And you can get a 3000 square foot home for 1/3 the price of what it'd cost in the SF Bay Area. We did a lot of road trips there. Five adults in a little sedan in 100 + degree = not always fun!

My actual most favorite road trip was with my lil sis. She had a job interview in So Cal, and it was just the two of us. We belted our way there...as in, at the top of our lungs, the most ridiculous, highest notes in love songs! For me, it was stress free as I was just there for support. I was very into Yelp back then and looked forward to visiting new shops and restaurants.

Anyway, I haven't yet visited Europe, but I'll get there someday. Onto today's card: Doesn't Car Leo look cute? Am not quite happy with the way I colored his car, but let's just say it's not a new one.

The elements and design I used is more geared towards the scrapbooking world with the layering in one corner and the use of more than one sentiment. I do love how different it came out though. And how it captures my love of a good roadtrip!



Happy Travels!

Hope You Feel Better Soon!

Hey guys, happy Monday!!

I am off from work and am in a great mood! I got a lot done on my to-do list! :) Hope you had a great weekend too!

For my DT card today, I've got Sick Leslie from Karber. I just love Leslie's big eyes and glasses. She is so adorable..but I do hope she feels better soon! LOL!

Speaking of Karber, they've got a great challenge going on at the blog: Challenge 50 is to use your favorite embellishment and a Karber stamp. The winner will get a $50 gift certificate (U.S. Dollars) to any online crafty store of their choice!!! Some of the digi Karber stamps are as low as $1.20. It is the ONE time I am sad that I'm part of a Design Team. Haha!!

You can buy the digital stamps by clicking here. Or if you would like rubber stamps, you could buy them at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.



Pardon my coloring. Let's just pretend Leslie's room is filled with candlelight so there are lots of shadows. Am trying this new combination for my Copics on faces and I need to blend better or buy more ink! :)

Thanks for visiting,

Soccer Jude and Mattie.

Hiya folks!

Every Monday, please stop by and see my post for Karber digi stamps. Berenice had asked all the Design Team members to pick the stamps they liked, and I couldn't help but choose Soccer Jude.

Mattie's preschool had hosted a few weeks of soccer, and I enrolled him in it. Jude reminded me so much of him! It's so cute to watch 2 to 3-year-olds play soccer, ha ha!



And I'm using another Kelly Purkey stamp as my sentiment. "This is How I Roll was perfect," I thought! :)

Here are some pics of my cute soccer babe! Via Instagram.





Have a fantastic Monday!

Karber DT Announcement!

Happy Monday! Am super glad I'm off! For those of you living in the U.S., Happy Labor Day! It's so weird that nowadays, kids start school before Labor Day, even in August! When I was a kid/teen, I remember that back-to-school days always started after Labor Day.

Anyway, I've got an announcement to make! I'm sooo excited to say that I am now part of the Karber Design Team!

For those of you not familiar with Karber, it's a company full of adorable digi stamps! Its cute and happy characters are just my style! You may remember that I was part of the Karber DT with Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps last year. It already holds a special place in my heart!

For my debut card, I decided to go with Jenny Handcraft. You may remember this cutie from an old post (click here).



TEE-HEE-HEE!! She totally reminds me of myself...the full cheeks and Asian eyes :).

And my favorite part is she's crafting! Card-making, scrapping, stamping, coloring?? I LOVE IT!

I paired her with a bunch of my favorites! The Everyday Ecclectic papers from Echo Park, Kelly Purkey stamps, and even a cut-out heart from Amy Tangerine's line.



I am obsessed with chevrons right now...and I mixed that pattern with the colorful, graphic shapes and cameras (for my love of photography). And I love KP's stamps because they explain perfectly how I feel about my hobby.

And you know what is so good about Karber digital stamps? They are super cheap and a lot are on sale right now!

Anyway, thank you so much for visiting and reading about my news! Hope you visit the Karber blog to meet the other DT members.

Tata!
