New Orleans

Brrrr..... it is cold this evening! Well, I should not be complaining, most of the days here are in the 60s, it is winter, I really should not complain that much when the temperature drops to the 40s in the night!

The family is still here, but Clare and Lione will be leaving end of the week : (

Dolce will be here for an extra week, even though she works from home, I am still happy that she is around in the house.

I haven't been that active in blogland the past year, mainly because the increase of my work load, so I don't have much time in the craft room, I have the intention to do better this year, even I don't have new project, I should just pop in to post something old or just chat with you right?

Travel in November

We went to New Orleans and then to Atlanta to visit a friend in November, I thought I'll share some photos of my trip here with you.

A friend of DH insisted we stayed at their mansion right at the French Quarter this time, this is the view from our balcony....

it's a short walk to the French Market....

I am sure most of you have heard of Beignets.....

if you are in New Orleans, I suggest that you try one at Café du Monde, indulging yourself in this heavenly treats, yum......

Since I only have half a day while DH is at work, I just enjoy the stroll nearby....

Thanks for stopping by..... before I go, here's a little treat box I made for the holiday.

enjoy the rest of your holiday weekends and have a wonderful 2018!!!!

Tea Time Gift

I found a perfect challenge to use this glittered red polka dots DP I kept for a long time


Little Red Wagon Challenge # 53
is to use the color RED


I make this little tea time treat bag as favor when friends come over for tea
The DP has big red glittered polka dots
I used the PTI die cut to make a little treat bag
stamped and distressed a little on the DP as well

RED is the color I don't use much, these little roses I bought come in three colors in a pack, usually vanilla, pink and red, since I don't use much of the red color one, my flower jar has tons of them because I had to keep buying for other colors, this is a great opportunity to use it.

Embellished it with a vintage image from an old page

My favorite part of this creation is actually that tiny tag on the carnival ticket, so cute!

Hop over to Little Red Wagon and join in the fun!

City Crafter Challenge Blog ~ week 29 ~ Get Your Digi On!!!

It is City Crafter's time again!!! I just enjoy the different challenges each DT member come up with every week, this week our very sweet DT Linda wants us to get the DIGI on!!! So yes, you must have a digital image on your card/project/layout etc.

City Crafter's DT are being sponsored by SOME ODD GIRL this week, they have some amazing digital stamps in their store, you need to go check it out. I pick this cute little cupcake image called "Cherry on Top" and make a birthday card with party treat bag

Isn't that cupcake stamp the cutest thing?

To be honest with you, I am just so weak at coloring, so copic markers can only be a dream (someday... I'll try....). BUT with digital stamp, the option is unlimited, like me, I just print it on DP, that solved the coloring problem, and it still look good isn't it?

The image was printed in a slightly larger size for the card

and smaller in size for the treat bag, see! I told you, digital stamp is just so versatile.

Tiny little tags...... one of my favorite!

This is a fun challenge at 

Crafty Creations

Challenge 91 - Halloween or perhaps Autumn

fun huh? so I created a Halloween treat bag (getting ready for Sunday), with a Fall theme tag

It was a fun one as they are easy and quick projects, so I can make many of them in a short period of time

And the best part of making tags is that I get to used up all the small pieces of scraps, clear up some room for some more scraps.... LOL!
