TGF Challenge - Jacilynn's Sketch

We got another TGF Challenge happening!  Today's challenge was to follow a sketch.  Sketch was provided by Jacilynn

Upload your layout using Jaci's sketch to Tgf Galleria>Scrapbooking>Contests/Challenges>Jacilynn Sketch

You must use TGF Stamps to create your project or layout and submit to the Galleria no later than Tuesday, May 4th, 2010.

One lucky winner will be chosen to WIN the new "Grandparents" 4x6 set!  GOOD LUCK and get scrappin'!

FFF (Farm Fresh Friday)

Aloha Friday!  It's FFF at The Greeting Farm today!  Today's challenge was to create a scrapbook page or card with the theme "Spring Cleaning Challenge" we were to use something we either

1.  Found that we forgot we had or
   
2. Something we were going to throw out but decided to use for the challenge.  

On my LO, I decided to go with 1.  I have SOOOO many digital kits and as I was planning my LO, I saw Nancy Kubo's Mango Luau kit on my EHD,  didn't realize I had bought it way back when it was in digi format.  I have the traditional version, however my LOs are 8x8 and I'd rather save the traditional papers for my 12x12's.  I tell you going through my EHD I'm always surprised as to what I find!  Any who, here's my LO for today:

Supplies:
Nancy Kubo's Mango Luau DP
Stamps: TGF In the Spotlight Kit

HAPPY EASTER!

Made these cute mini milk carton for my gf ManLe.  I went by the store yesterday and I never show up empty handed!  I just adore these milk carton, I didn't realize how tiny they were, but they're perfect.  Learned how to make the holder through Teri.  Thanks Teri!

Have a safe and HAPPY EASTER everyone!

BTW, as you can see...my last post about being my last post was an April Fools joke...LOL!  

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!

Mindy Terasawa and Nancy Kubo's stuff...

Aloha!  I have some great previews for you today!  My friend Mindy Terasawa has  a couple new kits available at DD.  Below is a preview of them check them out:

Aren't they all cute?  Especially the SpaceMan Stickers?  OMG, I just love these!!  I believe Mindy will be creating a kit to go w/the stickers and for all you TGF fans, this will go perfectly with Space Ian!  Woohoo!  All of these are available now at DD!

Nancy's coming out with a Cricut Cartridge and I have to say I AM SO EXCITED FOR IT!!!!  You can't go wrong with the two SILs cause they have such awesome and cute work!!!  Check out Nancy's Cricut cartridge which is scheduled to be release mid April!!!

Dahlia for Cadence

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend and spent it with the father's/husbands/brothers/male figures in your life! (^o^) I made this card very quickly for my bff's other daughter since I made her sister a card I thought I'd make her one also. I used the Dahlia image because she reminds me of a "Wild" one...LOL! Also used the same LO as this.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blk & White Challenge

I decided to participate in the Blk & White Challenge that Marie's having, which ends tonight, so if you want to participate, do it now! LOL! Here's my take on the sketch and color theme:

Sketch to use:

Sorry folks, I've been making my cards/projects late at night that when I post, I don't have time or forget to post the links or the supplies. So let me do so now...

I used a combination of DP from Nancy Kubo's and Mindy Terasawa's kit. Nancy's kit was a mini kit that was given free at one point...I tried a search but couldn't find it...I do believe that it has expired. However if I find it and it's not expired I will post a link to it. Mindy's kit is called Noir et Blanc and you can find it at DD.

Basically I just stamped my image (Dress Me set) on a 3.5 white CS, colored her with my gray Copics (I believed I used a combination of C3 and C7), added Martha Stewart glitter and then started to layer with Mindy, Nancy's and black CS. Tied a black SU! ribbon on the side and stamped the "Fabulous Friend" (Oval All stamp set) onto white CS, punched it out with SU! Large Oval punch and then punched out black CS with SU!'s Scallop punch. That's it! HTH! As usual thanks for stopping by!

Aloha from Hula Sweetie!

Finally got the Sweetie outlined. It took me awhile but I've done it. I still think I need to tweak a few things but wanted to create something with her. Still researching a few manufacturers and as soon as I find one that fits, the Sweeties will be produce into rubber stamps. Can't wait! Any who, here's my card for this Aloha Friday! TFS!

Wanted to add Mindy's two newest kits that will be available at Designer Digitals on Sunday:

Surfer Ian - 09 Father's Day Card SP

I'm not feelin' this card! It's OK but it's not the greatest. I'm thinking its a bit busy. I wanted this to be for my FIL's Father's Day card...but since I'm not too happy with it. So we'll have to see. Don't you just hate it when you an idea in your head and it doesn't turn out that way? So I'm a bit frustrated but I'll post this anyways.

Decided to make this Post it Note Holder for the niece to match her purse and card.

ALOHA!

E komo mai (Welcome!) I just love this Hula Anya! Seriously Marie from TGF just can't go wrong in her designs! I hope I never get tired of my TGF stamps!!! Isn't she adorable? Anyhow, I used the same LO for Marie's challenge at TGF. I didn't enter, didn't have time. This is actually my second card. The first card has the same exact LO however, I used a busy background and the whole card just looked way too busy! So this is what I'm going with, will send the other to my non-stamping friends that are happy with anything I make!! LOL! Poor friends! Don't get me wrong, I like the other card but I'm just into simplicity when it comes to my card. Anyhow thanks for stopping by!

A hui hou (Till we meet again)!

Rockstar Anya Purse

A purse I made for my dh's niece for her 11th bday. I decided to make a purse just to be different. Inside are a coordinating card and gift card. I choose Rockstar Anya because she is so not a girlie-girl. She's into Guitar Hero and I thought Rockstar Anya was perfect for her. TFS!

This is the front of the purse

And here's the backside of it.

Supplies:
CS: Black from Walmart
DSP: Nancy Kubo's Rock On Paper Set
Ribbon: SU! Black
Markers: Various Copics

New TGF Annika and a card from Tammy

A card I made for my cousin Lyn, whom I haven't seen in over 20 years only to find out she moved to the same town as my parents! I know, weird and long story! Basically she use to live in the Philippines and moved two towns away from my folks (after I had moved away) and whenever I'd come home to visit it would be such a short visit that I'd never get to see anyone but my parents so needless to say I was so happy to see her, her brother, his family and her cousin (a cousin from her dad side that I'm also close with) when I was home this past April. Anyhow, her birthday is tomorrow (I'm late sending it!) and I wanted to make her a little something. TFL!

Supplies:
CS: SU! Kiwi Kiss
DSP: Nancy Kubo's Happy Spring
Stamp: TGF's Annika

And for my second card, I got this beautiful card from Tammy along with the Wild West Anya that I won from her site. Isn't this absolutely gorgeous? Let me tell you, her cards are all gorgeous however I can't explain how much more gorgeous it is IRL!!! Wow! Amazing! If you haven't seen Tammy's work, go check out her blog!

OK, I'm off to bed (at 3:44 PM) because my allergies are buggin' me and I took benedryl and whenever I take it I'm really groggy! Hopefully I'll be able to craft when I get up from my nap!

Miss Anya and Rockstar Anya

Happy Sunday to everyone! I worked on a couple of cards today as I was watching the Oscar's Red Carpet show. Which I normally don't watch...but since Rob from Twilight is on, I thought I'd check it out...lol! Anyhow, not much to say so here are the cards...

Using the new Miss Anya set...love these stamps!

Supplies:
CS - SU! Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss
DP: Mindy Terasawa's A Beautiful Day kit
Markers: Copics and SU! Stampin' Write

Absolutely love this stamp! Simple, simple card, but I love how the DP paper spotlights the stamp. I felt adding anything would have taken away from it.

Supplies:
CS: Walmart Black CS
DP: Nancy Kubo's Rock On Paper Set
