Still here...

...just been busy and lazy all at the same time.  I know, how's that possible?  Don't know but I've that is whats truly going on in my live.  My post will get fewer and far between until next year.  But please do check back from time to time cause I will post when I can (if laziness doesn't win).

Anyhow, I'd like to share Mindy's latest kit called Summer Simplicities.  Avail this Sunday at DD.

 

Oh and have you noticed they're already coming out with Halloween designs...crazy!  It's only August and CC Designs has their Halloween line out! Wowzer!  I made these favor samples for Pineapple Cove.  I don't normally give Halloween cards but we all make/do Halloween favors.  I have to say Halloween is one of my favorite holidays besides Christmas!  So here are a couple of favors I made...will post more throughout the week (if I can get to it)

The one on the left (Halloween Birgitta) is a tic tac holder and the one on the right (Sweet November Baby Trick or Treat Hero) is a kit kat holder.    BTW, I snagged this photo from PC's website.  LOL!  Thanks ManLe!


Oh before I forget, Pineapple Cove is now selling Hello Kitty stamps!  AND To celebrate, this weeks 48-Hour Promo is going to be 20% off your Pre-Order of these cute stamps. Sale starts Friday August 13 - 14 . Please visit the webstore to place your pre-order.  I know a lot of my friends who read my blogs are Hello Kitty lovers!  I've already placed my order...now you should too!  Happy shopping!

Say hello to Shimmer Redkelp

...lol! I crack up every time I read the names of these mermaids.  The names are weird, but the mermaids are so pretty!  Made this card for Pineapple Cove using Kaiser Kraft dp, CC Designs Shimmer Redkelp and Celebrate sentiment from Hero Arts.  All available at Pineapple Cove (except for the oval and scallop punch).  If you're not on the island you can still make a purchase through their website!

Can you see the glimmer in her hair? Click on the pic to enlarge.

OK as for the blog giveaway, I decided to hold off on it yet again! Why is it whenever I plan on doing one, everyone is doing one?!?!  LOL!  It's all good.  But I don't want my blog giveaway to get lost in all the other giveaways.  So I'll wait for the majority of them to die down before i do mine.  Stay tune!

Oh before I forget here are Mindy Terasawa's two newest kits avail at DD.

Aren't they so pretty?!?!!

Too my BFF

Aloha Friday!!  I made this card for my BFF Cindie.  It's a big bday for her (won't say how old) but it's one of those milestone birthdays.  Her actual birthday isn't until Aug, but I wanted to get her birthday gift to her ASAP cause she decided not to have a party or anything special done on her birthday.  All she wanted was a certain expensive thing (I won't say what).  Anyhow, the gift I was initially planning on buying her fell through and I can't get it until I go back to Japan, I thought getting her a GC to this certain store to help w/her purchase would be the next best thing!  Like I mentioned earlier, I needed to send it to her ASAP since I have no idea when she was planning on getting it.  Was it before her special day or after??  So since the dh was heading to her neck of the woods for work, I rushed to make the card and to get her gift.  Figuring out what stamp image to use for her bday card was hard.  She's not into crafts and she's not into saving cards (yeah, yeah, I know...why am I friends with her? Let alone her bff? LOL!).  But I figured she is after all my bff, it is a special birthday AND she sees what I make for everyone else so...I just had to make her a card!  I used one of my all time favorite stamps right now...Treasure Tempestwind!  LOL, yeah I know...an odd name but I think these mermaids (her and her sisters) are sooo pretty!  If you don't have these stamps yet, let me tell you...they're huge! So fitting them on an A2 (is that the size of standard card?) is not that easy espeically when you wanna show the dp behind it.  Anyhow, I just love these mermaid images!  

As usual, thanks for stopping by!  Have a safe and happy 4th of July!  Aloha!

Oooh, btw, I forgot to mention there are two winners of my Quickpage giveaway that I mentioned here.  Please check back this weekend (maybe Sunday) for the winners! 

Happy Monday!

O-M-G! I just LOVE the mermaid image from Amy!  She is one talented artist and these mermaid stamps has to be my new favorite stamps!!  Look how pretty she looks!  Anyhow, here's my card...it's a bday card for my SIL and I absolutely love the dp I used...so colorful and vibrant...don't you think?  LOL

Thanks for stopping by!!!  BTW, I got these stamps from Munchkins at the Mililani Towne Center.  If you want her, hurry up cause Cyn only had a couple left.

It's Friday!

Aloha! This is gonna be a short post.  Made this card for one of my bff who happens to also be my GOD sister.  Her birthday was on Cinco de Mayo!  Yes, yes, I'm late! LOL!  As always, thanks for stopping by!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Real Quick...

Needed to make these real quick so I had to make them super simple!  I wish I had more time but as usual I don't

And if you're wondering whatever happen to my blogcandy...well I'm still tryin' to figure out how to work it and how to choose a winner(s).  So please be patient with me.  Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!!  Aloha!

Hodge Podge of favorites...

...I made this card using a few of my favorite supplies!  I love the stamped clouds from Hero Arts, the oval and oval scallop punch from SU!, the icicle punch that I used for grass from Martha Stewart, CC Design stamp and of course my copics to colored the image.  Really these are a few of my favorite things and I actually used them all on one card LO.  Another simple card but that's how I roll!

That's it...come back Monday I SHOULD have the blogcandy up for preview.  Don't quote me (I feelin' another staycation in the works) hahaha!

Is it Thursday already?!?!

Wow, this week is going by super duper fast!  I'm tryin' to catch up on  my card making as I have several friends and family who's birthdays are this month.  So I'm tryin' to crank out some cards...not easy when your mojo isn't all there.  This first card I used CC Design's Sugarplums Lil' Bug Emma along with some Making Memories paper (I think it's from Making Memories, please correct me if I'm wrong) that I got from Pineapple Cove

This next project was using my CD Calendar that I created for Mindy, which you can purchase here.  Originally this was intended to be housed in a CD case. But when I got the calendar from the printers, I got lazy and then decided that I would use my BIA and then of course got too lazy to pull the BIA out and saw this vertical stand (I'm thinking of painting it to match all my other fixtures on my desk, but it'll have to wait until I move back to the mainland) that I had bought last year just sitting in the corner of my desk.  Perfect!  All I had to do was punch two holes on top and hang it!  Donzo!

Thanks again for stopping by!  I need to take pics of my RAKs still so if you gave me one, I truly am grateful, I've just been so darn lazy and soo not motivated for some reason!!!  Sorry!!!  

I'm also tryin' to gather some blogcandy together to post and pick a winner.  I apologize for the delay in this but if you read the above para, then you'll see why.  

One more thing, I had a question about my Amazing Duo cards...where did I get the paper...I actually just made it from comic books...  Of course I didn't draw or create it but I just put it together, PS it on the computer and voila`!

Sugarplums Lil' Bug Emma was bought at Cute Stuff.

Ahhhhh....I'm back!

Hello friends! Sorry for the week long absent!  Dh went on travel last week and I decided I needed a "stay-cation" of doing absolutely nothing!  OK, maybe not all true but for the most part I didn't fix my bed, didn't do laundry, didn't cook, slept in and took plenty of naps (^o^)  Yes, you can say I have a pretty nice life.  LOL!  I may have another stay-cation next week too!  hahaha!  We'll see just how lazy I can be...  I will say last week's stay-cation worked wonders.  i was just so tried from my Japan trip (yes, the one I took in Dec), my family visiting from Dec - Jan, the trip to LA, the in-laws visiting for 3 weeks, catching up on all the stuff after all the visitors left...so this break was much needed!  I did craft here and there but nothing serious.  After this break I'm really not motivated to do much...LOL!  Sigh, it'll slowly come back, I hope.

Any who, I made this card for my gf ManLe (She owns Pineapple Cove at Kahala Mall).  Her bday is today!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANLE!!!  Wishing you all the best and hope you enjoy your special day after work of course!  LOL! 

Made this card  using CC Design's Sugarplums Balloon Emma.  I think this stamp along with Balloon Trevor and Party Emma are so adorable.  Been meaning to ink these stamp since I bought them end of Jan.  I also got this outrageously huge Sugarplum set that I will hopefully ink up this week...so be on the lookout for more CC Design cards/projects.  The card is real simple card but hey, all my cards are simple.  What's  new...hahaha!

These cupcakes are from Roxy to her Aunty ManLe.   Yeah, yeah, I'm using the same pic of Roxy again...it's my fave and her hair is so uneven right now.

Thanks again for stopping by!  I hope to post the blogcandy, CHA pics and some cool RAKs I got.

CC Design stamps were purchased from Cute Stuff.  Sorry, Lianne doesn't have a website, but if you're visiting the islands you can visit her store here:

Another CD Sleeve Post

Yes, I absolutely love making these! Especially since I'm giving some CD's away for Christmas! Here's another one I made for my dear friend who I will not name until she gets it! LOL! I think this is the last you'll see of these CD sleeves until I get back from Japan...we'll see.

Supplies used: Mindy Terasawa's I Believe papers, CCD stamp (I forgot what this is called), SU Sentiment stamp and punch used to punch it out and SU! CS Certanily Celery.

Yesterday's paper used was by Doodlebug and I don't know the name of it. Hope that helps!

OMG, you guys crack me up! I wasn't fishing for comments for my post. I mean, I appreciate all comments and emails, but really not big deal if you didn't comment. We are tryin' to motivate you to digi scrap. I notice when I post my LOs I don't get much comments, and was wondering if you have no interest at all in that style of scrapping. Also this will help me with my next digital scrapbooking class. So I do appreciate the comments on my work but it is not mandatory. LOL!

One more thing, you're only entered in the drawing IF you comment/email about the digital question. We are tryin' to promote digital kits/scrapping and we need ideas.

CD Sleeve

Happy Monday everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting much. Ever since the craft fair I've had no mojo, no inspirations and to be honest, I just wanted to stay away from crafting. I tried and look where its got me, a post at 2:25 AM tryin' to get all my stuff done (*o*) not good. As of right now, I'm trying to schedule a few post for the week since I will be extremely busy this week! I leave for Japan Friday and I have yet to do laundry, pack and get everything else done! Worse is, today I have to take Roxy to the vet for her semi-annual checkup and to get all her shots current before staying at her doggie hotel (^o^). Ahhh, why do I wait last minute? Ugh! Anyhow, just wanted to let everyone know from this week until Dec I will not be able to post much. I really appreciate all who visit, leave comments and send me emails!!!

All right, now on to today's creation. I made this CD Sleeve to house the 2010 CD Calendar which I am giving as a gift to a friend. I just love the stamp image by CC Designs. I love the wings which has SU! Dazzling Diamond it really does make a difference! Sentiment is also from SU!

The 2010 CD Calendars will be available at DD this coming Sunday!

Oh yeah, before I forget, I've noticed a lot of you don't comment when I post a digital LO. I want to take a poll on what we can do to get you interested in digital scrapping or anything digi related. Is it because you are:

1. Not familiar with digital scrapping?
2. Don't have time?
3. Don't like my work (yikes...don't worry I don't like it sometimes either!)?
4. Just not interested?
5. Or other (please explain)

If you don't want to leave a comment, please email me. For those that participate in this survey will be entered to win a prize. I'm not sure what, but you'll get something! LOL! The winner will be announced when I return. You have from now until mid Dec to enter!

Aloha!
