Birthday Anya 2

Happy Monday!  Here's another simple card that I made for my sis' bday last week.  She's in NYC having a ball while I'm watching her little cutie...  Not much else to say...lol!  Oh yeah, I am still working on my travel journal and just ordered a bunch of Amy Tangerine's line to add to it.  Have I told you how much I love making them?  Love it!  LOL!  I made my sis one for her NYC trip and I can't wait to see what she's done with it!  Will share hers once it's completed.  Anyhow, here's my card:

Here's my sister's cutie patootie, he's such a happy dog...

As for this one, not so much! hahaha!

As always thanks for stopping by! Wishing everyone a blessed week!! 

Wedding Card

Happy Aloha Friday everyone! I hope you all got to watch the youtube video.  I pray to GOD it doesn't happen but if it does we will all be better prepared.  I still have to finish putting my emergency bag together and buy Roxy some dog food.  I don't normally give her dog food but for emergency cases, dog food would have to do. 

Anyhow, I had to quickly make this Wedding card for dh's Deputy.  I opted to use SU!s Fifth Avenue Flora (this is has to be one of my favorite SU! stamp sets.) because I don't think she would like an Anya based card...I'd save my TGF for close family, friends and nieces...LOL!  This had to be a bit more elegant.  I usually try to go simple when it comes to Wedding and Sympathy cards.  I definitely think less is more.  Anyhow, here's my card.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!  Aloha! 

Its Been Awhile...

...I'm slowly getting my crafting groove back.  It's been a tough three months. With dh on travel a lot, loss of one car and unpacking by myself...well, crafting has definitely taken a backseat.  Needless to say, all my bday cards are late!  (o_O) 

Tonight I was able to create/finish three cards.  I'll showcase them one day at a time...LOL! Sorry, but if I didn't do that, I wouldn't have any other post after this...haha!  

All right, without further ado, here is today's card:

I used TGF's newest Creepin Creeper Crew Collection 1 set, which you can order at Pineapple Cove.  I love this set, it has a total of 7 Creeper Crew Characters and 8 Saying/Quotes.  I also used Lawn Fawn's Say Cheese set.  I absolutely love this set.  It has an old style Polaroid Camera and Polaroid film.  There are soo many ideas floating in my head on how to use this set.  Oh and I also used TE's Pennant and Pennant die.  I think that's it.  Leave me a comment or email me if you have any questions on any of the products I used.  

Don't forget, if you think My Cute Stamp's Konnichiwa set is adorable (which it is), and want to buy but just haven't had the chance, now is the time.  Remember, My Cute Stamps is donating the whole $7.99 towards the Japan Disaster Relief Fund.  It's a good cause AND you're getting a very cute stamp!  Karber is also donating proceeds from their cute Japanese set (digital stamp).

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You!

Made this card for my tenants who take such great care of my house on the mainland.  I wished they'd get stationed here so they can rent this house after we leave.  But unfortunately they got orders elsewhere.  Boohoo!  LOL!  Anyhow, I made this card for them as a thank you for taking card of the house and whatever issues it has.  I'm using the leftover dp from the Kaiser Craft from Pineapple Cove.  It may look like a card I made before, but it's not.

  As always thanks for stopping by.  Hope everyone is having a great week so far!  Aloha!

Another Bday Card!

This time its for my girl Les!  She's been such a great friend and so glad to have met her and gotten close to her!  Les is a shabby chic kinda chick and well, I don't do shabby chic.  So I decided to make her a card that was more me so she can remember me when I finally leave the island.  So here's the card I made for her...

(sorry for the blurry photo...hand shook and didn't have time to take another)

TFL!!!  Have a great week!  Aloha!

Create a Critter Project 1

Aloha! It's Monday...which is usually my rest day where I don't do a thing! LOL!  Weekends are usually busy soaking in the Hawaii atmosphere, taking advantage of this beautiful island cause my time here is now limited.  I will definitely miss this wonderful place, but I also miss the mainland and being "accessible" to everything that I so dearly miss.  I know when I'm gone, I will miss the food and weather but I think I miss my family and the holidays with cold weather more.  Believe me, I never thought I'd want to move back to the mainland but I do.  I will keep my house here so visiting will be a regular for me.  Anyhow...I'm not leaving yet but I'm tryin' to fit in as much as I could so I can say I didn't waste my time here.  (Wow, check out how many time I used "miss"! LOL!)

Before I forget, I wanted to wish all the mother's,  grandmother's, guardians and anyone who has to be in that position of taking care of someone a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  I should have posted this greeting yesterday but I was out both days this weekend and computer time was pretty much nil! 

OK, enough about me...  I've been dying to use my Create a Critter and saw some notebooks at Stamps and Memories and loved them!  I lifted the idea but used it on the mini composition books.  I love how it turned out.  It's simple (what's new) but thought it turned out cute (at least for me it's cute...ha!)

I can't wait to make more of these for my nieces!  Me and a couple of my gf's are getting together to do a mini composition session.  LOL!  I will be sure to post some of them!  If you haven't already bought yourself the Create a Critter cartridge, what are you waiting for? LOL!

Oooohhhhh, before I forget I wanted to post this card that my gf Margarita made for me, dh and Roxy.  I love the simplicity of it...sometimes we get caught up tryin' to add all the embellishments that we forget that sometimes less is more.  Look how beautiful her card is!  Thanks chick!

Just to show you how lazy I am, I took this photo off her site...hahahaha!

Halloween Thank You RAKs

OK, I'm still on the notebook...I think tonight maybe the last night of making these suckers...LOL! I may make some later this week, but for the majority of it, I'm done! I'm pretty sure you guys are tired of them and since I haven't made anything other than those, I'm posting a few RAKs I made the Vet back in VA. I made them these pails full of nugget candies as a Thank You for taking care of Avery. DH and had to go to Rhode Island for dh's classes and we needed to checkout of housing, unfortunately we couldn't take Avery with us so we had to leave him at his Vets. I wanted to give them something as a thank you and good bye present so this is what I made. Thanks for stopping by! Aloha!
