PTI Create Along with Us (September 2016)

The Challenge:



my card was inspired by Kay Miller's





Click HERE to see Kay Miller's original post

Here's my take.....


I like making holiday card in set, it is September and it is about time to work on them
 

I wanted to make these tags into cards, so I back them up with another color at the back, that way, I can have personal note inside.

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #330 ~ Turning a new leaf

This week at....






The theme is .....

Turning a New Leaf

Check out challenge details HERE!

I like to have a few of these in my purse....


 they are the same size as business card.... I used it when I need to exchange contacts with people....


I know, I am kind of "old fashioned" that way, the new tech generation just pull out their cell phone and key in contacts, or just "bump" each other phones, but I like to write my name and email address at the back of these cards....


 I make in small quantity so I can have different designs all the time.

I hope you hop over to City Crafter Challenge Blog and join in the fun!

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 329 ~ Photo Inspiration Challenge by Kirsty

This week at...







I found this online as our inspiration photo for the challenge....


The yellow and flowers inspired me to choose the little floral print paper for my project...


and because fall is almost here, I think the harvest mouse would be fun.....


Things at home is getting better so is my mood.... we finally decide that I need to go back to the ocean, even for a while, my teaching schedule is just getting harder and harder for me to go back to Long Branch, NJ for a month or two, it was on the list of "things to do in 2015", we didn't make it and it is impossible this year as well since taking off from work is hard and summer is just too expensive at the Jersey Shores, to fix that, we decided to do a short trip to Oceano, CA, by the Pacific Ocean, the trip will be just a 6 hours drive, we are staying for 5 days, that makes it all possible for me to go away before all my classes starts in school in October, I just need to take a few days off from my private teaching classes, so YES!!! I am going back to the Ocean, this September. The Mermaid in me is HAPPY!


Dolce and Coconut went back to NYC for school few days ago.....


I miss both of them so much...... Alfie is slowly adjusting the life in NYC, the noise, the siren, the underground.... Dolce takes him everywhere she goes.


this one at home also need some adjustment, sad to say, the new puppy plus issue with Lila (Clare's dog) at home trigger some aggressive behaviour in Papi, he started barking at other dogs when we go for walks, and he even nip at one of the dog at the dog park the other day, we had to take him out and it was very embarrassing, he had become the dog we used to hate at the dog park, so sad..... where is my sweet little boy?

Movie Night

JASONBOURNE

It has been a while since our last movie, DH sure likes this more than me.

Alright, done with my update, thanks for letting me share, I hope you could play along with us at City Crafter Challenge Blog.

Our Beautiful World 163 ~ Romantic

When I think of the word ROMANTIC, this is what comes up on my mind.....

{flowers at road side kiosk - Salzburg 2016}
yep, roses.....

Which city is the most ROMANTIC if you ask.......

 {Venice 2016}

some might think of Venice.....

Yep, Venice is one place couple would go for wedding photo shoot, imagine riding in one of those Gondola, the seat even looks like a heart......

 {Flowers from road side kiosk - Amsterdam 2016}

one more flower shot here, although tulip (I think, please let me know if I am wrong about the name of these beauties) is not the kind of flower I would associate with the word ROMANTIC, but I think pink and red shades are, if this post here are just pink and red, this post kind of look ROMANTIC too!
