I'm featured in...

...The Greeting Farm Newsletter this month!  I actually wrote a tutorial on how to cut out stamped images using my Silhouette Cameo for the newsletter last month but I sent the wrong files and we decided to feature it this month! Woohoo!  I thought I'd include the instructions here since I've been getting emails requesting for the file...  As always please feel free to email me should you have any questions or need any help!  Thanks for stopping by!  Aloha!

Back to blogging, sort of...

Its been five months since I last blogged! Wowzer! To be honest, with Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, I really don't have time to blog. Blogging takes a lot from you, you have to compose a post, resize pictures, add my siggie and upload it all.  Not only is it a pain to do all this, I rarely upload my pics from my phone onto my computer. Until of course I'm outta space.  With that said if you haven't guessed it, my phone had no more room for pics I was over 4000+ pics, so I had to finally upload them to my computer and save it onto my EHD. Not a fun process!  Anyhow, this post will be picture heavy with a few of the things I've created.  So sit back and enjoy the show (^_^)

Mindy Terasawa's Latest Kits

Do you remember when I Mindy made me those cute cookie pictures?  Well she's made a full kit of it and can I say, she's done another amazing job!  Check it out and don't walk but run to DD to buy your copy of it!

 Here's is what I made for my Cookie Exchange invites:

She also made this cute floral paper along with the solids.  I just love the colors and even though winter has just begun, I look forward to the spring on those extra colds days (the few that we get here in SoCal).  Enjoy and can't wait to see what you come up with!

Last one standing gets the last goodie!

hahaha! I couldn't think of a proper title, but I think that caught your attention! LOL!  Seriously though, to the three people that won, first one gets their choice of stamp and Hello Kitty Journal cards.  Here's what up for grabs:

Two Amazeballs stamps
One Bangin' stamp
One Hello Kitty Travel Journal Card notebook
Two Hello Kitty Birthday Journal Card notebook


Each winner gets to pick one of each (one stamp (of your choice) and one Journal Card notebook (of your choice). In addition to the above, each winner gets 2 of each color bags, a white gel pen AND a little something extra.  Last person to comment gets whatever is left. 

So Lissa, Tammy and Teri whoever comments first gets their top pick and second person gets next pick.  Good luck and don't forget to send me an email w/your snail mail address!

Here's a pick of 2 of the 3 prizes:

New Mindy Terasawa Kits

Belated Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Can you believe how fast the holidays are coming and going? My goodness, it feels like only yesterday we celebrated Christmas 2011! Are you guys all ready for it?  I can actually say (proudly) that I am truly ready! I lagged last year and it cost me dearly.  So this year I did all my shopping early, did a lot of personalized gifts and I'm happy to report I only have a couple of gifts left to buy.  Everything is all wrapped and the tree is going up tomorrow!  Woohoo for me! haha!  Sorry if I sound like I'm bragging but to be honest, I'm never good at being on time with gifts, cards and getting my act together especially during the holidays.  So I thought why not pat myself on the back? LOL!

So I'd like to enable help you start early...  Mindy's created some Christmas goodies available at DD.  These kits are super cute (as always!) and you can do tons with these!  I had planned on making some samples so I can post but as usual something came up.  I hope to be able to put something together this weekend or next week and post it on my blog for some inspiration.  But for now, I will show you what is new...

{Silly Lil' Christmas} Kit is super cute!

Coordinating stickers to go with the kit.

 And these stickers are my personal favorite! I asked her to

create these for my Cookie Exchange happening next weekend 

and I think she did an outstanding job as usual.  Will 

share my invites soon, so check back.

 

And last but not least, aren't these card templates 

gorgeous? I'll see about getting a copy to create some samples.

Again check back as I will be using her papers and elements on my December Daily 2012. 

Oh and thanks for the recipes, you still have time to invite some friends to participate in the giveaway!

*Edited* Amazeballs!

LOL! I just love that word! Anyhow, a few weeks ago I posted a pic on Instagram of my goodies that I got from Typo.  Well there was a lot of comments and emails regarding it and I even had one follower repost my pics for her friend to see and she too got a lot of comments regarding my finds.  So I thought, since it's the holidays, why not pay it forward.  So off I went to Typo today got a couple of stamps to give away.

OK, here's the deal...instead of just giving them away, I want something from you!

1.  Leave a comment (when you leave a comment don't be alarmed it didn't go through, it did but I have to approve due to spammers.)

2.  Send me an email with your favorite cookie or dessert recipe.

3.  Refer a friend (leave another comment saying you have)

I'll draw three winners.  You not only get one of the 3 stamps but some extra goodies.  You have until next Tuesday (Nov 27, 2012) to enter.  Sorry only valid to US residents.  Check back to see the rest of the goodies you'll be getting along w/these stamps. 

Here are the three stamps I got today, perfect for Project Life!

Halo!

Yes, it's been awhile! Sorry, same story as always...busy, busy, busy!  OK, I won't bore you but I'd like to share a few things.

It's been awhile since I used any of my dear friend Mindy's kits.  And well, I was able to play with some today!  Woohoo!  Her Halloween line is as usual, Super Cute!  Check it out: 

I printed out the dp, then cut the stickers using my silhouette (love how it cuts my images perfectly!)

Then I assembled it to make a mini Halloween bag...cute?

Here's another project using my Silhouette to make this box:

OK, that's it for now...if I have any followers left, thanks for stopping by!
