Busy in my Kitchen

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.

Tinkerbell & Friends

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. Here's a picture of me and the birthday girl Ashlyn. Enjoy your weekend and stay dry, the whether here in Hawaii is crazy it's been off and on raining. Hope to create more this weekend got some new Greeting Farm stamps and can't wait to play with them.

Heat Transfer

Hi everyone! So glad it's Friday and that the weekend is here especially since I have a 3 day weekend, Monday is a holiday and no work for me. Well here are some of the projects I was working on during the holidays. I wanted to make some homemade gifts for Christmas and since I had 1 week vacation time. I decided to make some T-shirts for the kids in my family. Here I use Silhouette heat transfer material they have two type either smooth or flocked. I don't have the Silhouette machine but I figure out how to use this on my Cricut. I also use the Cricut cartridge in Hello Kitty and Create a Critter. The fonts were from The Make the Cut program. For the boys I made the Hawaiian Islands, I downloaded the image from the Internet and load it to the Make the Cut program. I had so much fun making these, hope to make more of these and buy more heat transfer sheet in different colors. Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate you all for taking the time to visit me and leaving lovely comments about my project. Have a great weekend.

Hi everyone! It's that time to start up with the holidays! Here I am participating into TGF 's Holiday hop. Please check out TGF blog for more details. Here is my first creation for the "Let it snow" theme. 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 make into some Christmas ornaments too.

Next here is my creation for the "Santa Baby" theme. I made these into Christmas gift cards holder. The image is from TGF called XMas Sweeties and Cheeky Rockabilly and use the Santa hat from Xmas Sweeties. On the left is a chimney GC holder and on the right is stocking. Both were made using my Cricut and DS.

I received a lot of cool items, along with the party favors she gave everyone who participated on her blog anniversary. Isn't that owl so cute? Now, I need to get me one of that fries box die or wait let me see if I can try creating one this using my Cricut and DS. You just have to wait and see. Thank you so much Joy! I truly appreciated. In return of her kindness and generosity I made her this container fill with furikake chex mix. The image I use is from TGF - Hallo Witch it's a digi. But I hope they make it in rubber next year. Colored her with copics. Added some fun Halloween stickers on the design and lid cover and put some googly eyes. I'm so glad she likes it!Next one is a treat bag I made for some couple friends in the mainland. I also use another Greeting Farm image. This was last year stamp line and no longer carry it in rubber only digits. Inside is my favorite Hawaii best popcorn it's called Hawaiian Typhoon Microwave Popcorn bag. Yummy!

And here are some pictures of my son on Halloween. I know he wanted to be the ghost from Scream. Scary, he doesn't like to be anything cute anymore. It's amazing how grown up he's becoming. Gosh, time flies by so fast. Oh well that's life and just enjoy every moment spend and treasured them. Thanks again for stoping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

October Tags Swap

Hi everyone ! So here is my October tags swap that I made. I was lucky enough to be partners with Kyoko who happen to be the host of the a monthly 3-Tag Swap. 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!

Well, I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend so far! Thanks again for stopping by!
