Obsession!

Oh wow, where did the week go?  I don't even remember what I did this week!  Seriously, I don't remember!  LOL!  I know a lot of it has to be because of dh's uncle.  BTW, thank you all for the prayers!!!  GOD was really listening and our uncle is progressing slowly but surely!  So BIG THANKS to everyone!!!

Today's post is about a few of the things I am obsessed about!  It's a hodge-podge of stuff. This first pic is an order of my Smash Book goodies!  They forgot to send me my black one (which is on backorder) I'll get that later in June or is it July?  I also got a red one from Paper Source, each book as a different things in it.  I just love this line!  It's so cool!  I ordered extra pens/glue so I can make my own Smash Books.  It's a pretty neat book!

I'm so into mini scrapbooking!  I have yet to finish my Hawaii - California book, I'll get to it soon, but I did create one of our little Road Trip a few weekends ago...check below for some pics!

 

  Still need to finish it up but here are the first few pages.  

Lastly, you know I love me some washi tape.  Got these goodies from the Japanese bookstore from Little Tokyo:

And let us not forget about a card...

Thanks for stopping by, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Mini Album

It's been a while since I've scrapbook, let alone something for me.  Usually I'm doing an album as a present or Scrapbook For Hire.  But lately I've been itching to do something for me.  Before I left the islands, I wanted to document my last few days up until Jan/Feb timeframe.  So I've decided to do a mini album the traditional way.  I still love doing digi LOs, but miss doing the traditional way.  While living on the island, I realize that the locals are more into card making than scrapbooking.  Of course since I was surrounded by them I focused my skills on card making and pretty much left scrapbooking on the back burner.  But now that I'm back I've been on a mission to scrap.  So this is where I'm at.  It's not my usual scrapping style but I wanted it to be a bit primitive as if I was scrapping it at that moment (I regret not doing it at the time...pretty much didn't have any time those last few days) so I'm trying to recreate the album as if it just happen...whatever supplies I had on hand. It's not the prettiest but it's what was suppose to be in "real time".  The only thing I regret was not saving some memorabilia's and those I've saved I can't seem to find at the moment.  So that's why there are some blank spaces.  I hope to add them in when I find those that I remembered to save.  I hope to do more travel scrapbooks.  I think this is a good jumping off point, as it'll help me determine what I need to pack as far as supplies and what I need to collect for my pages throughout the trips.

Oh, I wanted to share this cool software that I got where I could printout Polaroid pics (the ones showing in the above pics was created using my Lawn Fawn's Say Cheese set).

OK, that's all I have, not much but hey, its something. Sorry for the crappy pics, but I took them using my phone.  Yeah, I'm that lazy to bust out the big ole DSLR(^o^) Thanks for stopping by!

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! 

Under the weather...still (*o*)

Yup folks, I'm still a bit sick.  At first it was a sore throat then I thought it was just allergies but now I'm thinking I'm just sick w/a cold or mild case of the flu?  Who knows.  I just need to get over this cause it's getting old!  So needless to say I wanted to stay home all weekend and thats what we did.  Watched a bunch of movies and relaxed.  I did however get to create a few cards.  I'm just making a bunch of cards right now because as you know I'm always late...so now I'm not! ha! LOL!  

Made this card using the oh so cute Miss Fleur Anya.  I absolutely adore this image.  At first I thought she was a Hula Anya...like a more fancier one...but everyone says she looks more enchanted...I see it now...but I like to think of her as another Hula Anya.  Used my all time favorite DP by my girl Mindy Terasawa.  You'll see me using it often.  That's how much I love it and I have yet to get tired of it.  If you look carefully I used some washi tape behind the ribbon...I just love those tapes!!!  I gotta get more when I go back to Japan!

As always thanks for stopping by!  Check back tomorrow for the next TGF Challenge!  Aloha!
