Well here's my projects. I made some goodie bags to give out to some of my friends and co-workers. I figure out the dimension on the box I wanted. For the goodie bag holder I use Holiday Anya and colored her with copic. Finally got her the other day at my local store here. Goodie bag 1 is with the fabulous Hawaii Popcorn, Hershey bar, Hot Cocoa Mix packet, some Harry & Dave Chocolate truffles, and a candy cane. Sentiment says "Have a Jolly Christmas" and it's from Taj clubhouse. Added a Christmas holly die cut and add some dew drops. DP is from Making Memories the packet is called Tinsel and it has double sided sheets in them got it at Target last year.

The second goodie bag is the same but instead of the popcorn I added some chex mix I made. I made a total of 10 all together and hope that my friend and co-worker enjoy them.

The last project I created are post it/calendar desktop. These are so perfect for gifts to give as well especially when it comes in handy next year. Here I use Cupcake Anya and colored her with copic and added stickles.

Peyton's Birthday Party

2011-10-14T08:00:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Happy Aloha Friday! Last month I had another big project to do. Her theme is Roxy at first it was suppose to be Candy land but she decided to stick with Roxy and glad she went with it. I just started beginning of September and the party was on October 9 with last minute decisions. Here was my first sample, she wanted me to make it into a Roxy dress this could fit in a 4.25" by 5.5" envelope. But since I had a short notice to probably do 100 of these and it needed to go out 3rd week of September. We decided to go with something a little simple and easy to do. Well this first sample was cut using my Cricut and Make a Cut Software. The Roxy logo was clip art from on-line.

Here is the picture she had given. I wasn't able to take a good picture of her since Peyton kept pulling out the flower in her hair so her mom was going to try later and she got the perfect shot of her. She ask me if I know how to make it in black and white and focus on one object into it's original colored. I told her I didn't know how but I could give it a try and learn how to do it. Went to google it and found how to do it in Adobe Photoshop. I just love learning new technique in Photoshop. Love this dramatic effect.

So here's the final invitation. Design the invitation in Photoshop. I had to make 100 of these. It came with the invitation, RSVP card, Map, and directions to the party and matching envelopes.

The composition books was part of the kids goodie bag. I had to make 35 notebooks for girls. Here are some of it, I forgot to take picture of all of it. Finally got a chance to use some of my good paper which I didn't want to but it match the theme. Roxy logo is cut with my Cricut and Make a Cut Software.

Here's the composition books for the boys I made it Quiksilver. Did you know that Quiksilver logo is half of the Roxy logo? Since it's the same company. I had to make 32 notebooks for the boys. I'm so glad to get these notebook done, I only had 1 week to make 67 notebook since she just gave me the notebook last week. I also made name tags but didn't take a picture of it :(. Each kid had a notebook,name tag, cotton candy, and a bag of chips. Yummy wish I had a goodie bag for me. LOL The babies 1 year old and younger had another goodie bag.

Here is the guest book. Just cover it with a DP front and back and use the same design as the invitation and printed out. Use my Bind it All machine to bind it together.

Here's the money box, glad I had polka dot gift wrapper, wrap around the box made a slit on the top so they can put the envelopes in. The Roxy and name was cut with my Cricut and Make a Cut Software. Added Flowers from Prima Flower.

Thank you for sticking with me in this long post. Now need to start getting ready for work so excited it's the weekend tomorrow spending time with the family and will check out the New Product and Food expo. Have a great weekend.

TGF He-Art Journal - Week 1 Spead Your Wings

2011-08-04T12:32:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I was crazy to challenge myself in signing up for TGF's He-ART Journal class, seeing how I already have so much going on in my life. But I was determine to try new things in using different mixed media related to crafting, which I still have so much to learn and explore of. It's a 23 week course,doing 2 page journal art work per week each week there will assign theme to be complete. I just hope i can keep up.

Here is my journal cover. I made this notebook using my Bind It All machine. Letters are from magazines that I cut up. The image is from TGF - Cheeky Nurse colored her using prismacolor pencils. I haven't use that a long time, didn't even know I had them. LOL. I also added some stickers. The sentiment on the heart says " Listen to my Heart" and also a stickers that says "Live out Loud."

Here is my 1st week's assignment the subject is "SPREAD YOUR WINGS!" I wanted to do a butterfly theme which is related to wings. First I started with the background using pastel chalks from The Stencil Collection in blue and aqua green color. Then sprayed some SU Gold Glow Smooch Spritz. Made my own rainbow using copic pens and added some Icicle stickles. The cloud is a stamp from Mindy Terasawa Clear Stamps called Animals. The big butterfly die cut is from my cricut using Potpourri Basket cartridge. Also use Martha Stewart Butterfly punch out added some butterfly stamps too and a butterfly sticker. Added TGF image - Flutter Anya and colored her with copic pens. Since the theme is Spread your Wings it remind me of the song from Mariah Carey called "Butterfly". I had so much doing this.

Well that's it for now. I have some good news since school started on Monday for my son he is now in 3rd grade and wow first day of school we got a letter he was nervous thinking he did something bad but no he did not it was a surprise that he got nominated to be part of the gifted & talented student's program. I'm so proud of him doing so good at school and behaving him self. I know this year for him will be tough with tons of homework and reading but I know he can do it. And for that I will have a small blog candy to give out. I will gathered and get some things and will post it sometime next week. So be sure to come back and visit my blog. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day :)

Busy in my Kitchen

2011-06-04T11:56:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I know I been behind on posting. It's hard to post when my computer's down and only chance I have is when my hubby lend me his laptop. I have access on my phone but it's not easy blogging, so much easier posting it on facebook. Haha , but now my computer is working my hubby fix it and no more waiting for my turn for the computer. Well I been quite busy in my kitchen. I just got the Cricut cake for Mother's day, I had to give it a try. My first attempt to bake a cake and decorate it. Since it was my coworker birthday on Wednesday and she loves red velvet cake, I wasn't sure if she like Hello Kitty but I'm sure she didn't mind and who doesn't love Hello Kitty. I use fondant on the Hello Kitty and letters. Beside baking cake and cupcakes, I love making cake pops too. Cake pops is made from cake and frosting then mix together, shape it into a ball and dipped in melted chocolate. Then add any sprinkles or topping if you wish. My next attempt is to make it into different shape and make them into characters that's another challenge for me to do since I bought the book on Cake Pops and can't wait to give it a try.

Happy Saturday! Hope I have time to do some paper crafting and coloring, Oh how I miss my Copics. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend.

Hi everyone! Wow what a busy January I had. And can't believe it's already February is done. Gosh it's already March too. Well I'm so sorry for my absence of posting, but I've genuinely had so much exciting things to do! With me turning 30 on January 24 and I just had so much events going on beginning of January I had my godson first birthday and bapistal to attend and I also made the money box and guest book for him and I was suppose to do some cupcake toppers decoration but with the 1 week notice I just haven't had the time to do it. So I'll show you the moneybox and guest book I made, it was Sesame Street theme. But here is my big project of the month of January where I made 150 invitations, 260 favors tags, 70 kids name tags for the goodies bag, decorate the money jar, and a guestbook. So here is the money jar I had to decorate only the jar , the jar was made by my aunty's co-work. I had my cousin's tape the jar with washi tape. The Tinkerbell cuts were from my Cricut and cartridge is called Tinker Bell and Friends. Added some ribbons, flowers and butterflies and a picture of the birthday girl.

Then here is the guestbook I made. I use a Tinkerbell DP to cover front and back on a chipboard. The cover is design using Adobe Photoshop. I use my Bind It All to bind them together and added ribbons on the wires.

Here's the invitations I created. I had to make 150 of these. It's a pocket invitation this style is a pocket tag invitation. I use my Cricut and DS to create this invitation template. Then I use my Big Shot and SU emboss folder for the floral background. The Tinkerbell emboss and cut is from Cuttlebug. The butterflies both small and large is from Martha Stewart punches. I also added a ribbon and a bling on the big butterfly. Oops forgot to take picture of the RSVP card and godparent list.

Here is the favors. It's a butterfly key chain. It already had the box and ribbon all I had to do is make the label. I just printed out the Thank you note on a pink paper and punch it with a medium heart shape punch made from Marvy.

Here is the goodie bags for the kids. It is a plastic basket filled with lots of goodie. Such as chips, Caprisun drink, activity coloring book, pencils, the girls had a Tinkerbell mini coin bag and the boy's had a Mickey mouse coin container and of course some candies to go along with it. Each kid had their own personal name tag. The boys had a Mickey mouse name tags and the girls had Tinker Bell name tags. Wish I had a goodie bag. LOL.

Here is the birthday banner. My aunty's friend gave us her daughter's banner that they use and we decided to re use it and just change the name. Added some plastic flowers and more butterflies. The Tinkerbell was made from my hubby's cousin.

Also I design the background for the Photo booth they had a the party. She wanted it similar to the invitation design. Here's the picture I took with my family.Thank you for staying my me in this long post. I was honor to do this project especially for my goddaughter. I had so much fun even with all that work.

I'm having so much fun making them and I'm glad my partners enjoy getting them. Here I use images from TGF called Keep Cozy. I got this idea from Stamp Camp from Stampin Up but we made it into cards but here I made it into tags. Love these treat cups from Stampin Up, you can pretty much put anything small inside to make it fun . The Stampin Camp I went to they added glitter and water inside the treat cups, thought this would be great idea to have my son make some Christmas ornaments and added his picture inside to give it out as gifts to his grandparents and relatives. I have to set a time for this with my son and niece, I'm sure it will be fun! Well I made the template using my Cricut and DS! I don't have the right size circle punch to match the treat cup so I just use an estimate on the DS to make my own. I need to get me that circle punch. Well it work out as the way I wanted it to be. And had fun putting it together.

Here's what I received from Kyoko. Aren't these tag adorable. I so love the angels and how she made them look so pretty with the colors and bling she added. Thanks again Kyoko!

Club Anya Monday Mania with me!

2010-08-23T00:00:00.000-07:00

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you guys enjoy your weekend. As for me, I went to the Island Girls Summer Social #2, organized by Teri of Big Ideas From A Little Girl. She work so hard organizing and putting this together. Thank you so much Teri. I had a great time and so did my BF Ana that I invited. She does a little of crafting time to time. She also won the grand prize which was some of the new stamps from dandelion designs and a sizzix cupcake holder diecut. Yay! Congratulations to Ana, I'm sure you will have fun with those goodies.

Well anyway, moving on I was so excited when Amy e-mail me asking me to host Club Anya Monday Mania for this week challenge. So this challenge I want you to "Make a Scene" project or card. I chose this challenge because I just love adding bits of details to the card and really make the images look more real. There are a lot of themes to make a scene. So I want you to join in the fun and make a Scenery card. Here I use Flirty Anya, she's smiling to get Surfer Ian attention and I'm sure Surfer Ian notice her looking at him. So he try to show off his skills on the surf board. I made it into a step ladder card so it would be easier to make Ian look more real and fun on the waves. The die cut of the sun is my my Cricut using the cartridge from Life's A Beach. I even use EK Success Sandcastle border punch and added some little friends to join along they are from some cut out papers from Imaginisce Bathing Beauties. I had so much fun making this card and I hope you have some time to "Make A Scene" LOL. I hope you enjoy the beginning of your week.

Sending Smiles Your Way!

I been quite busy with invitations that I had to finish and been going out with the visitor we had. Also sign up my son for Karate class so I been taking him to his class and just watching him for an hour, then afterwards we would probably go eat lunch or dinner. Anyway I decided to take a break and do some coloring. I miss using my copics and I got some new colors that came in. So I'm up for a challenge. I made this card for the challenge at Club Anya Monday Mania. This week challenge is hosted by Sheng and it is all about the buttons. Since I have tons of these flower buttons I thought about using them and that it would be perfect for the C.C Designs Swiss Wheelbarrow stamp I just got. Here I use Spotlight Anya. I always wanted to learn different technique in using my copics and try to color my best using them. I came across Lysa's Shiny black hair video and it was easy to follow but however when she say light stroke it so hard because my hands feels heavy. But practice makes perfect. LOL. You should stop by because it such a great tutorial to follow if you want to learn how to make shiny black hair. Well time for bed and here are a few pictures I wanted to share with you folks on my son's karate class. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Organizing my TGF stamps

2010-08-06T01:22:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I'm such a big fan of TGF and most of my stamps are TGF. Just wanted to share with you folks on how I store TGF stamps. I have a 12X12 photo album and it happen to be a 3 ring album. It has a 5 pockets of 4x6 photo sleeves insert in one sheet front and back but I decided to only put the stamps on the front because it will be to bulky. The 4x6 image card I trim them down a little so that it will fit inside the3 3/4 x 5 3/4 laminated sheets. Made it to this size so that it will be easy to take it out and insert it to the photo sleeves. Then I laminated TGF image card and put the stamps on the back of them. For the 3x3 TGF images, I cut a 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 cardstock and paste 2 of the3x3 TGF image cards. Then laminated. For those that didn't come with the image card, I had to stamp them and colored the image. The 8x12 TGF stamps kits I put it into a 12x12 insert page. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi everyone! Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July weekend. I just watch the firework from my house, I could see part of it. My hubby had to work during 4th of July and my son wanted to go to his cousin house for a BBQ so he went with my mom. I didn't go because I'm trying to get somethings done. I have to create a beach theme birthday party invitation for a customer. I did a few sample and will show you folks later when I'm completely done with it. I decided to take a break and have some coffee and a blueberry scone that my hubby bought this afternoon at Diamond head Grill. Their blueberry scone is the best! Another then taking a break I already had some images that I have colored and wanted to play along on some challenges.

Summer Lovin'

2010-06-29T10:44:00.000-07:00

Good Morning! I made this card using the following recipe for Monday Mania over at Club Anya & Friends. Last week MM was hosted by Margie using the following recipe was to use kraft cs, use green, one dp, and 1 embellishment +/- ribbon. Here is my take on Margie's recipe. I used kraft paper for the border, sand, and tree also on the coconut but color it brown with my copic. For the sand part I actually sprinkle some real sand on it, to make that effect. Got the coconut tree using my cricut. My embellishment is the beach mat it's actually a piece of cloth and added a ribbon on it. I use Cheeky Rockabilly and altered Dylan and Paul but added flip flops from HG-Sing. This card is for my hubby we are celebrating our anniversary today. Sentiment state You & Me and inside of the card I put "paradise". Since we dated during summer time we spend our summer mostly on the beach as he loves the beach. Also entering this card for Diedrich Dare -photo inspiration (summer theme). Well that's all for now. Have a great day!

TGF.... Dads & Dudes Contest

2010-06-27T18:00:00.000-07:00

Hello all and Happy Sunday! Hope you guys are enjoy the rest of your weekend. Well last week TGF was hosting a contest for Dad's and Dudes in honoring Father's Day. Anyway my son always like to help and join in the fun just as long as he is spending time with me. He likes when I'm doing crafting with him. It was hard to convince my hubby to give it a try. Finally he wanted to participate in it. So he spend the day coloring with my son on Wednesday since we had a BBQ party at his parents house. The rule is that they need to case one of the cards that Jessica 's boys had created. My hubby likes to practice using the pens and what was so special about these copics pens. I told him that this was great for blending. He practice on a few images and finally got the one he wanted was this image Skater Ian. He did a great job blending and he really see why I love using my copics and how fun it is to color. BTW he case #1.

Here is my son card and he case #2. He is 7 years old. He made this card for my hubby's mom birthday coming this week. He chosen the color paper and DP. He knows Mama loves pink and shiny stuff to make it pretty.

Well I'm so glad they had fun and hope they do some crafting time again. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Can't believe how fast the weekend is over and time to start another new week. I was off on Friday due to Kamehameha Day but I had to babysit my 22 month old nephew and my son was over at his grandparent's house. Can't do much when I'm babysitting, just when he takes his nap which he didn't. I had him from 5:00am - 3:00pm. Oh well here's a card I did during the weekend. I finally got a chance to do a challenge for Farm Fresh Friday's sketch. I just got a bunch of new Greeting Farm stamps and wanted to color this adorable image called Cuddle Anya. I use acetate overlay design sheet made from Anna Griffin under it is a caramel brown card stock. Use MS double loop punch but cut off the bottom layer. Added a prima, ribbon, and a teddy bear charm.

Hello Kitty & Transformer Note Books

2010-06-03T11:17:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Sorry I been MIA, there's just so many things that was going on. Well here is what I made for my son's last day of school. I made note books for the kids. Hello Kitty for the girls and Transformers for the boys. The HK is a die cut using my Cricut and so is the Transformer but there's no Transformer cartridge for Cricut so I use my new software Make A Cut. I seen it on Eunice blog on how this program is easy to use and create anything with the Cricut. I made a total of 22 notebooks, 11 notebook for girls and 11 notebook for boys. I didn't take a picture of all the boy's note book it was already late that night and my camera ran out of battery and was to lazy to look for the charger. So this was the note book I made for my son. He had to get also a notebook for himself. But he was so funny he doesn't want to use it since I work hard on them and all night I made them. He wants to just save it. I told him he can do anything with it since it's summer I wanted him to do a journal and draw some picture in it then he said mom what if I make a mistake on drawing and I told him that simple the page are easy to tear up, then he said I think I might tear up all of it because my drawing is not too good. He makes me laugh I told him just try your best and draw what you can. Well that's it for now. Hope I can try to post a regular base, I do have lots to share. Thanks for taking the time to visit. Enjoy your day!

Hi! Happy Friday! TGIF! Today I'm off due to the holiday but I have a few house chores to complete. It seem like it's never ending doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning, and getting organize. Well a couple weeks ago I attended Denise craft gathering and boy I really needed that, to take a break and mingle with some friends. I also meet some new crafters. Oh what fun. Here's what I made for the girls. Since Easter is almost here I decided to make an Easter theme to gave out. I came across Kimbee's blog a couple nights before the gathering and I just love her basket she created. So while looking at it, I decided to make a sketch on the template and see how it would look like. I use my Cricut DS to design the template and cut it with my cricut. I just love my Cricut and DS, the possibilities are endless. I had so much fun putting together this basket. The image is from Amy's design called Sweet November - Sparkle Thistleweed. I just love her images and her creations. She is such a talented lady, be sure to check out her new line for Easter. They are so adorable. So anyway here's my version of the Easter basket and hope to make more of these to give out. Hope you guys like it.

Gosh, I really don't want to clean especially since the weather here in Hawaii has been raining. But someone has to do the dirty work. LOL! Enjoy your day!

Hi everyone. I'm so glad it's the weekend. This week at Club Anya & Friends is hostess by Trish, she came up with a cute "SEEING SPOTS" theme-in which participants must use at least 3 circles on their project. I made this card for a friend who's birthday is coming up. I chose to use TGF digi Dressy Ebony and Flirty Edward. This was a fun card to create, I made it into a swing card. I finally got to use my cricut, haven't use that for a while. The circle scallop card is made from my cricut using Wlld Card cartridge. I paper pieced Ebony's dress & headband, added a prima and put dots on it and a bling. Put a black half pearl for her necklace. The inside of the swing card I use Cricut cartridge called Celebration for the birthday hat and cupcake. Doesn't the cupcake looks yummy?
Now inside the card I use Flirty Edward, colored him with my copics and paper piece his shirt and added glitter on his face and body. The sentiment says May all your wishes come true. Have a day sparkling with happiness & joy too.

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! I made this card using the sketch challenge last week TGF - The Case Of the Curious Card. The challenge is to case the card that Marie made. I chose to use Cheeky Rockabilly. She's new to TGF. I colored her with my copics. She absolutely gorgeous. She's my favorite one. I got the rainbow and pot of gold from Pink Cat Studio Digi it is called Itty Bitty Betty - St. Pat's Rainbow. Betty is there but over Rockability. Sorry! I also added another cloud in it. Doesn't she look fun sliding down the rainbow, wish I could do that LOL. Added some bling green flowers and some stickles. Sentiment state "You're my lucky charm." St. Patrick's Day is almost here but first we need to celebrate Girl's Day on 3/3. Well I'm off to the kitchen baking some furikake chex mix. Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

Daisy on a cupcake!

2010-02-17T20:37:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. Here's another birthday card I made using one of the lovely Squiggle images. Isn't she adorable, this image is called Daisy with Gift. I just had so much fun coloring her and the cupcake. Cupcake is also from Squiggle. I have coloured her in with copics. For the sketch it was from One Stop Craft #67. I'm also entering it for the new challenge over at Squiggles & Giggles where you need to use pink and hearts. I used my MS Embossing Flower Border Punch. I added felted heart stickers and a flower. Also a pink pearl on it where I got this from Michelle for my birthday. I just love pearls and bling as my embellishment to add a finishing touch to my cards. On the cupcake I added glossy accents and red liquid pearls in ruby red, then I added some glass beads too. Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!

Gorjuss Girl

2010-02-16T02:13:00.000-08:00

Good morning! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today, I would like to share with you a card I made using Sugar Nellie - Flower Girl. Isn't she just too cute. This is my first time coloring a Gorjuss Girl. I don't own any Sugar Nellie stamp. I got this image from either Kyoko or Linda during a craft gathering. Thanks for this lovely image. While I was coloring her, I realize that I want to get her now. So I will be ordering some Sugar Nellie soon and you can get them at Funky Kits. I made this card last week for a friend's birthday. I hope she will like it. Since her birthday is the month of February I decided to go with red and pink, Valentine colors but I added a touch of yellow in it. The DP was perfect to work with because everything work out well. This challenge for the Sugar Bowl is a sketch challenge to include three flowers, two brads, and a button. I have coloured the image with my copics. I'm still learn and playing around with my copics coloring and shading. As you can see I use my MS heart lace border punch again. I think I need to go shopping for more border punch. I only have 3 and this is my favorite one. I added 3 pink paper flower and ink up the edges with my red copic pen. Then I added leaves. I use 2 yellow flower brads and a yellow button, I needed to add some yellow to the card of course. I hope you like the card and thanks for taking your time visiting my blog and leaving lovely comments. I really appreciated.

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! Can't believe the weekend is here. But I'll be out most of the time due to the fact we have visitors for a week. We have so much stuff to do and places to go. Well enough about that. Over at the Floral Fantasies Blog there is a Sir Stampalot Challenge and Blog Hop. The challenge is to celebrate Sir Stampalot's relocation. So the theme for this challenge is MOVING. My co-worker & her boyfriend just got an apartment together beginning of this month. How fun and exciting is that. I'm so happy for them. I can't wait for my hubby and I to get our own place someday. We're living with my parents for now. This was the perfect image to use. I use TGF - My House. Of course I colored it with my copics, didn't do a good job coloring it. I added an assortment of paper flowers and dew drops. I found the perfect embellishment which was this plastic key. I purchase one of those HK key holder and it came with the plastic key as a display. I try to keep things that I know I might use later. And it came in handy, my hubby thinks I'm so weird sometimes that I like to collect any kind. I really like how I added those flowers, it look so pretty. About the LO, I wasn't sure what I was thinking. Hope you have a fun weekend. Enjoy it!

Club Anya & Friends New Year Challenge

2010-01-11T17:03:00.001-08:00

Hi everyone!Happy Monday! I hope your weekend went well. Mines was fill with headache due to my sinus. I went to the doctor on Friday because my left side face and mouth appear to droop on Thursday afternoon. My boss thought I had Bell's palsy. Bell's palsy is a condition that occurs when the nerve that controls the facial muscles becomes swollen or compressed. But that wasn't the case. The left side of my check was hurting they did some test and found out that my upper gum got infected. The doctor said if I didn't take care of it soon my left eye could close and I couldn't be able to open it. I really didn't want that to happen. What a way to start the New Year. I had the procedure done today and need to go back in 3 weeks, I'm taking pain killer for the pain and antibiotic for the infection. Hopefully the pain will go away soon. Well there's the rest of the cards I wanted to share with you folks on the Club Anya & Friends New Year Challenge that had happen last week.

Pam's Bling - I use Lolli Anya and altered the lolli pop and put a ring instead. I added a bling on the ring and also for her earring. I also put some paper flowers and flower bling. I made this card for a friend who got engaged last month. Her favorite color is purple so that's the color I focus on.

Kadie Sewing- I use Flutter Anya. Added some stickles on her wings.

Kim Shape Up - I use Travel Anya. For the shape card I use my Cricut and Hello Kitty Greetings Cartridge to make the helicopter. This is not big enough for a card but it's the size of a tag.

Melyssa Tag- I use birthday boy Ian digi only the presents and added Birthday Anya. The flowers are from a DP that I cut out, I put some dew drops on it and added some flower buttons. I put clear glossy accents on the cake but didn't try when I took this picture. I won Melyssa Tag challenge.

Amy's Ad Inspired - I was inspired by all the stars and the bright colours on the ad that Amy had chosen. I use 80's Anya for this challenge. I added some star and buttons as embellishment.

Cindy Sparkles - I use Flapper Anya for this challenge. I use white & red glitter paper. I also put an red artificial flower on her hair and part of the border and put some dew drops on them.

Kim Norm -The image I use is HG Snuggle. I really like the color blue but together with orange doesn't seem to go well together. Orange is not quite my color either. Now that I think of it while making this card it actually worked well and using this DP goes perfect together

Randi Mask - I really like this Masking Technique, it's my first time doing this.I used Savannah, 80's Anya and Flapper Anya. Colored them with copics added some dew drops and a flower on Flapper Anya. Also use some stickles on the dresses and Flapper Anya headband.

Cheryl Ribbon - I use birthday boy Ian digi only the presents and added Birthday Anya. Added some paper flowers and ribbon, and a bow.
Thanks for sticking with me on this long post. Hope you have a great & fun week ahead. Enjoy your Monday evening. Thank you so much for visiting my blog & leaving such lovely comments. I'll be back to post some Rak I receive.

It goes great with the new year color especially with black & white.

Sketch #2Sketch #3Sketch #4

Hi everyone! I been trying to play catch up on TGF 12 days of Sketch. They are now on the 10th day. Here is my take on sketch 2, 3, and 4 . On sketch #1 I use HG sings. I added the Santa hat from TGF X-Mas Sweeties and also add a dew drop on the hibiscus in her hair. I use MS heart border punch on gold foil paper and I also use some gold & white glitter paper that I got at J's Knicknacks. On sketch # 3 I use digi Chibi Cupcakes, isn't she adorable. I use the color purple the most because this card will go to a friend her birthday is coming soon and she loves purple. I added some stickles on the cupcakes. Doesn't the cupcakes look yummy to eat? On the 3rd sketch I use digi Spring Fairy. I just love TGF collection of fairies. They are so beautiful and of course fun to color. I colored all images with my copics. I just love these pens, wish I had more of them. Santa didn't bring me a set of pens maybe for my birthday next month. LOL I'm hinting my hubby but we just have to see. I hope everyone will have a safe and Happy New Year! Can't wait to see you guys in 2010! Thanks for stopping by!

It was such a busy Christmas time this year and it went by so fast. My son was happy of course, he got what he wanted a DSi. Here is a card I would like to share. I used the TGF sketch #1 from their 12 days of sketches challenge, the color combo comes from this week's SSH is to use white and another color and it has to be a Christmas theme, I also use this for Anyone for Anya challenge. So here it is. I chose red as my other color for this challenge. The image is from the TGF called Hula Anya & I added the Santa hat from Xmas Sweeties. I even added some embellishment of dew drops on the haku lei and on the hibiscus. You can purchased some of TGF stamps and dew drops from Little C's. The sentiment say Mele Kalikimaka means Merry Christmas in Hawaiian. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

2009-12-16T01:50:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! Gosh time sure fly by so fast and there is only 9 more days of Christmas and I'm not quite ready for it. So I have sign up to participate in Club Anya blog hop the other night but I wasn't able to post my pictures, I couldn't get my camera to synchronize it to my computer. It 's just wasn't my day or should I say week, it started on Sunday that I had so much things that didn't go the way I wanted. I was so disappointed and bum out that I couldn't be in the hop because of this. Everyone did a fabulous job, check out what everyone who participate came up with. There's so many talented ladies out there. The possibilities are endless what they have created. I finally solve the problem I needed to get a new cord for my camera. So now my camera is working fine. But I'll probably get another camera just in case. So I hope you guys are quite done with your list before Christmas or at least half way there. Well here is some gifts I made for my co-worker, she wanted to order 8 containers of Chex Mix. She wanted some Hawaiian theme because she will be shipping some to the mainland for her family & friends. I brought these to work and gosh I had a few comments from some patient of mine and they really like it also my boss ordered 7 containers and now my aunties saw these too and want to order some. I use TGF Anya & Ian and altered them and made them to look more Christmases. Now I really need to get down to business. So I will be quite busy this week and I still have yet to finalize the slide show I'm making. Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It's a device a handheld design studio that allow you to create & design anywhere without using a computer. I'm giving my Hubby hints what I want to Christmas. But whatever he gives me I will love & cherish it. Well here's what I came up with on the Hello Kitty Panda. Isn't she cute. I love how it turn out. She wanted a tag to attach to a gift she was giving to her boyfriend. I'm so glad she likes it but I hope she don't ask me to make more. LOL. I been quite busy putting together a slide show for a birthday party next week, it's my first time doing this usually my hubby is the one that in charge of this.

Good morning everyone! Hope you guys are enjoying the rest of your Monday morning. It's time for another challenge over at SSH and this time it's about these cute animal. For this week challenge I use Whiff Of Joy the first one is called Henry Angel. Isn't he adorable. I'm loving this little creature even it's mouse. I colored him with my copics and added stickles on the wing and on his halo. Use circle nestabilities, then emboss it with my cuttlebug dots embossing folder, and I colored the dots with my Sakura white paint marker then added stickles on it. I use my MS punch called icicles for the border and added a blue silk ribbon on the top of the icicles border. I put a bow on top of the circle. My finishing touch I added some snowflakes use my MS glacial snowflake then I put some dew drops on them. The sentiment says Tis the Season.

Baby, It's Cold Outside.

2009-12-02T01:18:00.000-08:00

Hi there! I can't believe it's already mid week. Gosh time sure flies by quickly. It's already December. By the time you'll know it Christmas will soon be here. Hope you guys are ready and getting your Christmas list done, be sure to check it twice like Santa Claus and found out who's naughty & nice. LOL. Well last week over at Club Anya my friend Kris of K-Lusive Kreations was chosen to host Mystery Monday Challenge and her theme was Ice Ice Baby. Remember the song Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice Ice Baby All right stop, Collaborate and listen. Ice is back with my brand new invention. It goes something like that, I can't believe I remember part of the lyrics. That use to be my brothers favorite song and they would blast their radio and I could hear it over & over again through my room which was the next room next to theirs. So I was stuck hearing that silly song. Oh well for the challenge we had to create sometime icy blue, snowflakes,ice, anything that brings out the chills. This is such a great challenge since I do like the icy cold scenery. Now I wish it was snowing in Hawaii. But it's so strange I'm actually allergic to cold weather, it's called Urticaria and sometimes I break off with hives and my ears would hurt. I must say I hate being cold but I do like to be warm & dress warm. When I think of ice, I think of the color Blue in it and how it's so cold. I use digi Miss Autumn Anya & My Guy Autumn. They look so cute together. I also use My House stamp. This is my first easel card I made and boy I like how it turn out. I use MS punch for the fence. I added artificial decorative snow for the ground and some white fun flock on top of the house. Then added some white tiny foam oval as some snow falling.To hold the easel card I put on a foam snowflake and added stickles on it. Thanks for looking and stay warm because baby, it's cold outside. LOL but it sure is since it's a little chill at nights now here in Hawaii.

November OCS

2009-12-01T01:52:00.001-08:00

My partner for November OCS was Teri of Big Ideas From A Little Girl! This is what I came up with. Since Thanksgiving was in November, I wanted to make her a Thanksgiving card and mail it to her before Thanksgiving. The image is from Pink Cat Studio Digi Stamp called Itty Bitty - Turkey Ride. They now carry digi's and they have some new & adorable images for Christmas. Colored Itty Bitty & Turkey with my copics. The fall leaves is a punch and the circles is from my nesties and the scalloped circle is from my Cricut. Finishing touch I added a yellow ribbon with white polka dot on it.
Teri always have cute images and makes great cards with them. Isn't this elf adorable. Love it esp it's a girl elf and how she holds the Christmas tree! She looks so strong how she carries the tree and it is bigger than her of course. I don't think I'll be able to carry the Christmas tree like that. LOL. I love the image, I love the colors, and the LO. Thank you Teri for this adorable card and again for organizing the OCS. Thanks again for stopping by. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

I'll be heading out the door soon to check out some sale too. Last week Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at TGF, we needed to create a project with no patterned paper on it. Since there's no patterned paper is allowed, I used some different embossing folders. I used all of TGF digi fairies. They have it for each season. So this is what I came up with. I colored them with copics and I added stickles on their wings and I use some of my copic atyou spica glitter pens on their hair. Added a silver ribbon. The sentiment is computerize stating "Friends For All Seasons", then added stickles on it, and blings. Well I have to run, time to go shopping. Have a great Friday!

Hi again. Another post for today. This card is for 3 challenges, I have used the sketch over at Friday Sketchers # 79 ,Copic Challenge Creation #16 & Flutter by Wednesday # 84. For the copic challenge this week is coloring the color Gold. I just love my Copics and I been practicing how to use different technique. I'm still learning. For Flutter by Wednesday challenge is any thing goes just as along its a butterfly, fairy, or an angel on it. The image is from TGF - Summer Fairy. This is their new line and they have a total of 4 fairies that are digi stamps. They are so pretty. I made like the fairy holding a Poinsettia so I colored it red and added gold in the middle. Since the copic challenge is to use gold in it , I decided to add red and white in it. And decided to stick to a Christmas theme. The gold paper I run it through my Sizzix Big Shot and use Cutterbug folder which is called candy cane stripes. I added Stickles on her wings. I just love the sparkles. I use the MS corner punch , it has snowflake and stars in it. Finishing touch I added a ribbon, a silk flower, and some bling. Thanks for stopping by today and hope you're enjoying your day!!!

My first Scrapbook!

2009-11-17T21:57:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! I manage to clean this weekend and look what I found. I found my scrapbook that I made of me and my hubby, pictures of us together when we were so young. I gave this to him for our 3rd year anniversary. This was the first scrapbook I made. I really need to go back into scrap booking again. It's really time-consuming making a scrapbook even doing one page. It takes time deciding which pictures and layout to put on the page. It also takes a while to actually paste the picture because I end up reminiscing. It so weird how things end up, maybe it's for the better. We are actually two different people, we're not really compatible. Even our horoscope signs say it, he's a Cancer and I'm an Aquarius. But we know that there's love with the two of us. We learn from each other how different we are but we indent to work our difference. We were dating when I was 16 years old(...12 years ago) , we're the same age. We went to different school. He went to a private school and I went to a public school. Well there's actually more pages in this scrapbook and more stories to it. A total of 45 pages. I will post another set soon and tell you more since it's getting late and time for bed. Thanks for sticking with me on this long post. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Good night!

Tag your it!

2009-11-14T19:13:00.000-08:00

Halloween Parade

2009-10-30T01:48:00.000-07:00

Happy Furlough Friday! I'm still here. I been quite busy this week I was working long hour shift since one of my co-work is on vacation. I been getting home late. Well my son had his Halloween parade on Wednesday and thought I share it with you folks. This year he really wanted to be a ghost or a monster, something really scary. But I didn't want him to. Since we were late looking for a costume, this is what we found a black fabric cape. And so he agree to just get him that cape and be a Vampire. We could also use this cape to be a Magician or some type of Superhero. He not quite a big fan of Superheros. I haven't had the chance to make some goodies for the kids, but Landen sure got a few from his classmates. Have a great Friday!!!

Landen and Papa Frank.

Here's one of Landen's classmate that won first place in the best custom. She's a robot. Most of the homemade custom were winners. Maybe next year I'll make Landen's custom for Halloween.

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii Color Combo Challenge

2009-10-23T14:41:00.000-07:00

It's Aloha Friday! I been having a terrible week my sinus just been acting up especially with the weather is so humid. Hopefully it will get better soon. Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii has a color combo challenge this week. The challenge is to create a card or project using the color combo above. We had to use the Two Scoops Rice Design Halloween stamps for this challenge. You still have time to purchase this Two Scoops Rice Designs Digi Halloween Set, you have 1 week left till Halloween so get it while you still can. This was a great color combo to use for these adorable Halloween images. It was quite hard to put the color pink into it making a Halloween card. So I colored the candies pink. My favorite image is the boy with the dragon costume just eating his chocolate away. Hope everyone is almost ready for Halloween. Have a blessed day! Hope you folks can join us for this fun color combo challenge.

Tilda with Spiderweb

2009-10-18T11:31:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! Here's a card I would like to share with you folks. Little C's has varieties of Magnolia stamps. This image is called Tilda w/ Spiderweb. I been making a few Halloween cards since Halloween is almost here. I been falling in love with any adorable witch images. I colored Tilda with my copic pens. DT of the spiderweb is from American Craft. The cute Halloween pumpkin is a clip art. I put a little spider on the web by Tilda's hat. This reminds me of that nursery rhyme little miss muffin, sat on a muffin ..... and along came a spider. This is one of my favorite nursery rhyme when I was young. I added All Natural Accents which you can also purchase them at Little C's. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Another Cute Witch Card!

2009-10-17T20:32:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! Now that the weekend is here I manage to get some house chores done, I did some laundry, iron, and fold the clothes. Wash the dish, clean the stove, and getting Landen's room ready. He always had his own room but he never sleep in it only plays in it. As time went by we made it into a storage room and put some of my craft things in it. Now that he's ready to sleep on this own, it will be only his things in his room. Too bad that could been a great room for my crafts. LOL. It was a long day just doing chores and glad that's over but next week again of course things will pile up again like the laundry basket and the sink. But that's part of being an adult lots of responsibilities. Well enough about that I did manage to make a card after lunch. Here is another witch card. This is my card for the challenge Nutty Nuttshells Wednesday. I use this adorable Pecan Nut Halloween Witch, it is a free digi image. Colored the image with my copics. The clouds, bat, and cat are clip art images I download. On the clouds I added cotton ball white fun flock. I love these things. On the bat I added googly eyes, some how it just makes the card fun to look at. I put clear glossy accents on the moon to make it a shiny effect. Fishing touch is a orange ribbon.

Also here's a card my son made, he's getting ready to make some Halloween card for his relatives in the mainland and just waiting to get his costume where I can take a picture of him and mail it together. He wants to be a Ninja. So here's the card he made for his auntie in California. So hopefully his costume arrives soon. Also I won this cute Halloween blog wear that Claudie of Island Girl Stampin. She does an amazing job with her digi scrapbook pages and her creations. Thank you so much Claudie, I really love it. Stop by her blog if you have a chance. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and thanks again for stopping by.

2009-10-13T13:11:00.000-07:00

I decided to try out for the Belles 'n Whistle Guest Design Team Call. So here's my entry. This card is also for the ROP Challenge 22 it is to use any sketch and add fall colors to it which is Orange, Brown, and Green! The sketch is from Sketch Saturday #72. Which was a great sketch to work with and I just love fall color. I finally open up my Bells n Whistles stamp this image is called Lil Miss Poppy. Isn't she adorable. I had so much fun coloring her with my copics pens. In her basket I put All Natural Accents green lei flowers and orange string flowers where I got these at A Place in Time @ Kailua but distributed by Photo Craft. I added a orange bling on her bow in her hair. I added some brown and green chalks around the image and use Nestabilities to cut the image and boarder. Then I added fall leaves which is a clip art that I download it and printed it out, colored it with copics and put clear crystal lacquer on it . DP is from Imaginise. Wish me luck. If anyone is interested in participating in Roses on Paper GDT Call, here's the information. Have a great day!
