TGF He-Art Journal - Week 1 Spead Your Wings

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

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.

TGF 's Hoppin into the Holidays

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.

Lastly here is my creation for the "Holiday Treats" theme. This is a cupcake holder. Image I use is Flirty Anya and added the Santa hat from Xmas Sweeties. Inside is a red velvet cupcake and I added kisses candy cane. Yummy!
