Good Day!

I am back to share some layouts I created using The Greeting Farm's Print and Cut kits.  My first LO is a Daily Documenting page, this is from 2013...I found a few pages that weren't fully filled...so I thought I'd use some of the Berry Sweet Journal Cards and Summer Time Journal Cards in this LO.  I recolored the plumeria card (Berry Sweet JC) to coordinate with the picture.  Also recolored the Happy Halloween card (Summer JC) to give it more of a Halloween feel.  And I used the blue card with Fuji (Summer JC) and typed "Where's Robin?" get it?  LOL!  Lame, I know!

On my next project, I created a LO using elements from the Summer Time kit, and I created a card using a Berry Sweet JC, recolored and added the Summer words from the Summer Time kit.

As always, thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.  Please visit Corinne, Cynthia, and SuiLan's blog for more inspiration!  Have a great week!

The Greeting Farm's Summertime Print and Cut Kit is here!

Woohoo!  I absolutely love this kit!  Perfect for our summer themed scrapbooks and cards!  Since I lived in Hawaii, I have tons of beach and summer pictures so this kit is perfect for me!  And I know it'll be a great addition for you!

Before I go any further, I'm always asked if you need an electronic cutting machine for any of our Print and Cut kits, and the answer is "no".  Basically you can just cut everything out using your scissors.  But if you have  a Silhouette or any other machine that reads .svg, .studio files you should be able to use it and it makes it easier and faster.  But I find sometimes on those rare occasion when I want to just sit in front of the tv and do something with my hands, I actually print and just cut by hand, it's pretty therapeutic.

Now on to my reveal...I created a card and a layout.  I used the "Enjoy Today" banner, Summertime Anya, scallop border and the "Today I feel Loved" on my card.  Papers are from Studio Calico Boardwalk.

For my layout, I used DCWV background paper from their Endless Summer Stack, the sun, "enjoy life", slippahs (as we say in HI), "today I feel cool", "today I feel Happy", and the .5cent embellies from the Summertime kit and a few enamel dots.

And before I give you the details to our Blog Hop,We have a Guest Designer - Kristina Werner joining us on our release.  I am jumping up and down like a little girl! LOL!  That lady has some mad talent!  Please visit her blog and/or Youtube channel as she does a process video on how she created her card using the Summetime kit. While you're there, check out her other creations, she's made a bunch of cards using some of our TGF stamps!  Her blog is filled with tons of awesome inspiration!

Now onto our Blog Hop...  check out all our blogs (Corinne, Cynthia, Suilan) where you will find more creations from the Print and Cut Design Team including Kristina. Comment on each blog and hop back to the TGF blog to let us know you’re done.  That is it!  One random winner will be selected, and win the Summertime kit!  Be sure to finish the hop by tomorrow night (June 17th) at 11:30 (PST).  The winner will be announced on June 18!  Good luck to all!

One last hurrah for The Greeting Farm's Hoppy Easter Kit and some Coordinating Cut Files

Hey everyone!  It's the day after Easter and the Print and Cut team has one last inspirational blog post for you!  Just in case you guys needed one last look at the kit so scrap all your wonderful Easter pictures!  I have to say the team did a phenomenal job!  Here's my projects for this week.

For project was to create a 3D project.  I decided to create the Free Standing Pop Up Card.  I created the template on my silhouette.  Super easy!  This card folds and fits in an A2 envelope.  I pretty much used all the elements from the Hoppy Easter kit.The "some bunny loves you" is from Mama Elephant.

My second project was a LO, I decided to do an Easter LO because I wanted you guys to see it used as an Easter LO one last time.  I know you must have taken tons of Easter pics, so why not do my last LO as an Easter LO.  I used the journal cards, again, I erased the "my bunny" and stamped the "I'm all ears!" which is from Mama Elephant.  Resized the pink bunny and added some doilies and enamel dots.

Hope you can get some ideas from my projects.   Please check out The Greeting Farm's blog and my fellow DT's blog:  Corinne, Cynthia and SuiLan to see their awesome projects!

And before I go, we got more Coordinating Cut Files available at The Greeting Farm's store.  They're only $1, so worth it! Saves you tons of time and easy to use!

More Hoppy Easter Inspirations!

Good Day!  The Greeting Farm's Print and Cut team is back with more inspiration using the Hoppy Easter kit.  Our theme was one Easter project and one spring project.  Here are my take on it:

On this first project, I did a Spring LO...I used the flower element (blue flower with green background), "Spring is Here" 3x4 journal card (behind Avery's picture), 3x4 polka dot journal card, I cut the "Egg-stra Special" tag to just "Special" also did that with the "Happy" from "Happy Easter" but for some reason it fell off (will need to retake pic to include it.).  This was taken during Spring in DC when the Cherry Blossoms were in full bloom (gorgeous!) and this is with my first Samoyed, Avery.  I've always wanted to scrap this picture and the elements of the Hoppy Easter kit went perfect with it!

My second project is a card in a box.  I just love making these!  I love how well the Hoppy Easter kit worked with this.  I'll be handing these cute little card in a box to my nieces for Easter.   If you haven't made them, you should!  They are addicting!

OK, hope you got some fun inspirations from my projects.  Please check out TGF's blog and the blogs of my fellow DT's:

Bling it Up on the TGF File Cut Monday

It's another Monday and I'm here to showcase my projects for TGF's Berry Sweet Cut and Print, and Berry Sweet Daily Life kits.  Today's theme was picked by Jerodelle, she chose Bling it UP!  I have to say I'm not into too many elements on my cards or layouts so this was definitely a challenge.  My first project is a scrapbook layout of Roxy.  I decided to do a digital layout to show how versatile this kit can be.  We must not forget about our digi scrappers!  If you didn't know, I am first and foremost a digital scrapper.  I love how you can manipulate everything in Photoshop but I also love the traditional way of scrapping and lately I've been scrapping that way oppose to digital scrapping.  I do miss digital scrapping so that's why I decided to do this layout to show the versatility of this kit.  As you can see, I used two of the 3x4 filler cards from the BS Daily Life kit, Kiss Kiss, Love You and Cutie Patootie tidbits from the BS Print and Cut kit.  I also added some sequins, glittered hearts, glitter and doily to the layout.  If you hadn't notice, my style is pretty clean and simple (95% of the time).  I then printed this out to 8x8 and I will mat it onto a 12x12 as soon as I figure out which paper to use.  But really my LOs usually look like this... 

My second project is a card using the Double Cupcake Anya which I believe was Limited Edition stamp.  I bling'd it up with some diamond bling on the butterfly, Anya's hair clip, on top of both cupcakes and three diamonds on the bottom right hand corner of the card.  As much as I wanted to totally bling up my card and LO, that's all my mind would allow me to do...lol!  I truly believe "Less is More".  What about you? 

 

Are you guys enjoying these kits?  Do you have any questions regarding the kit?  Please share with us your creations using this kit!  We would love to see them!  Who knows, you may win a prize!  As always thanks for stopping by!  Please check out the TGF blog and my fellow DT's blog for inspiration!

Catch Up

Happy New Year everyone! I know I'm only 11 days late! LOL!  But it's still the new year don't ya think? (^_<).  So how was/is everyone's new year?  Mine? Interesting to say the least. Lots of stuff going on, had family over for the holidays and life is slowly going back to normal (I hope!).  For those that are friends with me on FB, I recently deactivated it.  I just figured I needed a break and if I didn't deactivate it, I would log on while I was bored or waiting in the car to peek into the lives of my friends and I just wanted it to be like the good ole days.  I like to find out what's happening w/friends the old fashion way...you know, write, call or see them in person and catch up.  So I have no clue when or if I'll reactivate it.  Right now it's been nice, not knowing everyone's business or vice versa...LOL!  So if you were wondering, no, I didn't defriend you or block you (^_^)

OK, onto a few pictures to catch you up (I am posting pics from my phone, so some pictures may be grainy).  

LO of my trip to Paris (more to come).  I decided to scrap the old fashion way...with actual paper and embellies that you can actually touch (^_^)

I'm so in love with AT's mini books and I just can't get enough!  Even though I know how to make these, I find it way more convenient to just grab me some of Amy's and scrap away.  I'll be using mine for my travel journals so I'm really excited to go on my next vacay...I'm hoping it'll be back to Japan springtime.  Crossing my fingers.

M got me the Cameo (which I absolutely love, love, love!) for Christmas/Bday...but who are we kidding? I'm buying some crafty stuff and playing the bday card, am I lucky to have a support and giving dh...hahaha!

I participated in Dec Daily and slowly putting it together.  Its a lot harder when you took pictures w/3 different cameras...sigh, why did I do that?

OK, I think that's all the pics I have on my phone...will try to post regularly.  Although, I've been super lazy to blog you can bet I won't be doing it on a daily basis.  Thanks for stopping by...hope to see and hear from all of you soon!

Some LOs from Amy Tagerine Class

As promised, here are the LOs we did at Amy Tangerine's class.  So glad my friend Jenny asked me to go...it was worth it and this time the class was a lot smaller so chatting and crafting was way more easier. 

I think I need to add something more to the last LO, something's missing.  But for now, I'll keep it that way until I can think of what to add.  Love Amy's style and her product line!  If any of you get the chance to take her class I highly recommend it!

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!

TGF - Time-less LO Challenge

Aloha!  It's Thursday and that could only mean it's TGF Challenge time!  Challenge theme is to use Time, clock. watch anywhere in your LO.  This was  a hard one for me but I pushed through and finished my LO barely in time (no pun intended).  Literally I was running out the door as soon as I scanned and sent my LO off to Jessica!  Whew, it was definitely a close one today!

So you wanna play along?  Simply Upload a layout using TGF Stamps that uses a TIME theme-aka clocks, watches, and other elements of time into your layout!   It doesn't HAVE to be SUMMER time, either, but we all used our new Sunshine kit so SUMMERTIME it was!   Just use TGF Stamps and incorporate TIME.

*One lucky winner will receive Oliver/Amelia "JOURNEY", the newly released 4x6 set!

*You have until Tuesday, July 13th to upload to the (now working) Gallery!!!

TGF LO #9

Today I am using the new kit by TGF called Sunny Glen. I think this kit was perfect for those fall LO's! Of course you can use this for anything but the papers reminded me of fall.

Once again my LO is of my precious Avery. I'm trying to make a book of him for me. All the other books I created were for my dh. I wanted to put all the feelings and memories I have of him and how him being gone has really affected me. OK, I'm not going to write about more or else my eyes will start tearing. (wah!) Again, thanks for stopping by!

TGF LO #8 - Thankful LO

It's Wednesday and you all who visit my blog knows what that means. It's TGF digital LO day! We were as to do a LO with a "thankful" or "Thanksgiving" theme. I chose to do a "thankful" LO. As usual, my LOs are simple and I usually like using only one photo if I can help it. Once again I recolored the paper to give it that "Thanksgiving/Thankful" feel. As always, thanks for stopping by!

More oldies but goodies

Another short post. Found more of my digi LOs that I made for my friend's daughters

Favorite LO

This has to be my one of my favorite LOs. This was a lift from one of my favorite scrappers Veronica Ponce. Doing this LO totally brought back so many wonderful memories! As most of you know I grew up in Japan and it's a place I consider home. Anyhow, this LO was of my years in Elementary, I'm missing a couple of class pictures... Oh well, I'm hoping my mom will find them one day! I decided to jot down a few of my memories during my time at Sullivan Elementary instead of journaling. TFS!

A Request

I've had several request to post some of my digi LOs here on my stampin' blog. And since I've hadn't really done anything stamp related and this poor blog is being neglected, I thought I'd share a few of my LOs I did on my scrap challenge blog...so here are some of my LOs! Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!
