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 Inspirations Using TGF's Berry Sweet Print and Cut and Berry Sweet Daily Life Kits

Hello Everyone!  Hoping everyone had an awesome Valentine's day/weekend!  Here at my house, we had a nice and quiet dinner with a Netflix move and on Saturday we celebrated my FIL's 84th birthday!

Speaking of Valentine's day, we at the Farm created a few inspiration for you.  This time we had no theme but to just create whatever our little hearts desired (^_^)  I made some 3x4 cards of each of the dogs for dh and a card with the both of them to give to the nieces since we'd be seeing them for my FIL's bday.  Check them out:

I of course created them digitally because well, I did these last minute as usual I was late! LOL!  I then printed them out and created matching envelopes.

For my next project I created a traditional layout 

I used both the Berry Sweet Print and Cut and the Berry Sweet Life Daily Life kits.   I used the banner, butterfly, cutie patootie, forever and you're cute from the BSPC.  All the journal cards from BSDL kit.  I also used the TGF's Snowflake Die which I absolutely love!

Ok, it's your turn!  TGF wants to see what you created using one or both of the kits!  One lucky person will be selected at random to receive their choice of an in-stock Single Rubber Stamp or a 4x6 set!  So please show us!

And before I end this blog post, please check out my fellow Guest DT's  Corinne and Jerodelle's work from even more inspiration!

Whoa...

...missed a week of bloggin! LOL!  Not that I have a lot of followers or anything..haha!  A lot was going on...once again crafting took a backseat.  Finally got the new AC installed.  So this chick is a happy camper!  Anyhow, I forgot all that has happen last week so I can't even recap on it.  LOL!  Getting old is no fun!

Any who, I did however manage to make four cards these last few days...yup, you all read that correctly - FOUR cards!  I still have to make a couple more.  Sad thing, I was making a bunch of thank you cards and totally forgot to make my parents a card and today is their anniversary!  Yikes!  Actually forgot about it until my bro reminded me yesterday.  Sigh!  Not good!  Anyhow, let me share the card I made for a friend.  It's just a very simple card and I actually like it...don't know why cause its super simple as you can see.  

I used Bree from TGF and can you believe I've never inked her up?!?  Actually there are quite a few TGF stamps that has yet to be inked!  Anyhow, I love using old stamps.  Especially when everyone and their mother are using all the new ones and you see them everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE.  

Thanks for stopping by...remember being a loyal follower may mean something special for one of you (^_^)

Roxy's 1st Book

Finally created a Shutterfly book for Roxy.  I absolutely love how this turned out.  Here are some  pages from her book (excuse the poor quality of the pictures, I took them with my phone):

Thanks so much for stopping by, I know I don't have a lot going on but it means a lot that I have a couple of people visiting.  Also want to thank everyone who sent their well wishes on Roxy's recovery.  She's doing great!  She's tryin' to walk and it looks funny but expected.  Doesn't look like she wants or can bend at the knees, but that'll come in time.  She's not allowed to jump on the beds, couches or stairs.  Wish me luck because those are all the places she's usually on!  

Check back next week (hopefully!) I will have some blog giveaway. And hopefully some card creations!  Now that Roxy's doing better and the humidity going away (slowly), I can bare to be in my studio and create!  Yeay!

What I'm working on...

...another Shutterfly book:

Another Album

Made this album for my auntie who celebrated her 60th, remember those favors? Well here's her book, this was my present to her...it came late but from what she said, it was well worth the wait (even though she had no idea I was giving this to her or that my toilet paper gift (idea I got from Teri) was gift enough ^_^)

So w/o further adieu , here's her book:

Don't forget that the Thirty One bag giveaway is still up!  You have until the end of the month to comment!  Good luck everyone!

Happy Everything!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  As usual M and I ran errands all weekend.  It's hard having one car.  I mean there are pro's and con's to it.  Pro, I get to stay home and fix the place  up and not spend. Con, I have to stay home and can't run errands.  LOL! So that means weekends are always busy running around trying to take care of everything I wasn't able to do during the week.  Who knows when we'll get the new car.  We've been on a waiting list forever and I'm just tired of the whole process.  Oh well, there are way more less unfortunate people then me.  It's not that bad. Just an inconvenience. Moving on...

Today's card is featured using Twirl Anya.  I think she's so adorable.  Tryin' to make as many cards as I can so I won't be late for the next bday.  So here's a head start.

Oooh, last Friday I received the new Copic colors! So excited even if I won't have time to color, having them in my hands just makes me so happy! LOL!  It's the small things I tell ya!

Happy Birthday Maggie!

LOL! It was my girl Margarita's bday on the 12th and I didn't want to post this card up until she got her package.  Sorry for the short post but I got a few things to do...  Happy Thursday everyone!

Cutesy Critter Halloween favor boxes

Wow, blogging two days in a row! Wanted to get these done early for Mindy cause I know I won't have that much time come Halloween.  I'm exhausted and I don't really want to write too much.  I am the worst writer ever and when I'm tired it's even worse (if you can imagine).  So without further ado, here are two of the three boxes I made.  I may make one or two more. 

I created these favor boxes where you can either insert a photo or cut out a window.  I know the candies doesn't go well with the Halloween theme but I am NOT buying any Halloween candies yet!  I was tempted since Target has all the Halloween stuff out already!  But I was good and I resisted (^o^)☺

If you have any questions regarding these favor boxes, leave a comment or shoot me an email.  I'm not sure if/when Mindy will have them up at the store, but as soon as I find out I'll let ya'll know! 

Before I forget, I had a couple of comments and emails regarding my Pumpkin Anya.  She is an altered Anya.

Wishing everyone a great week!

Happy Sunday!

Aloha! Wanted to share Mindy Terasawa's latest Halloween Kit called Cutesy Critters.  I used it to create the below cards.  The kit is available at DD.  Check it out! It's so cute!  I absolutely love it!  

 

Our Last Challenge...

its bittersweet but we knew it was coming.  This is our last challenge for TGF.  I had tons of working with TGF and the DT gals!  So many inspiration came out of this AND I got to complete a whole album!  Woohoo!

Onto my LO...  I created the background paper using the stars from the In the Spotlight kit, repeated the stars as the accent.  I also used the stitch border from the Sunshine kit. There are so many things you can do with these kits!  Here's my take on my girl Jaci's sketch:

Up for a Challenge?

If you are, come join in on the fun at the Farm!  Today's challenge is to create a LO with a summer vacation theme.  

I did my LO on last year's summer vacation visiting Harajuku, Japan.  If you've never been, I highly recommend it.  It's a very unique place with lots and lots of shops!  Unfortunately not too many Harajuku girls frequent it anymore...but if you're lucky enough you'll see a handful of them in full costume.  Here's my LO for this week's challenge:

It's Challenge time at the Farm!

Today's TGF Sketch LO was provided by me.  I  I literally had no time to do my LO.  I thought it was just too plain (really simple is my style but this was just flat out plain) Without going into details, lets just say when it rains it pours and it did so this week.  Nothing serious just a lot of stuff happening and I totally forgot about my dental appointment...so with that said, my LO suffered. I added the palm tree to spruce it up a bit.  Seriously, when I say I like my LOs simple, I meant it as you can see. LOL!

Any how, here's my take on the sketch:

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!!!


Here's my take on the challenge:

Aloha it's anthoer TGF Challenge!

This week sketch challenge is by Lynda!

Here's my take (I turned it around)

This LO is about our time at Tokyo Disney Sea!  We had just gotten off their water ride, which was so needed cause the humidity in Japan was horrendous!  If I could I would have stayed on that ride the entire day!  We were soaking wet, you could see it on Cyn and Steph's shirt but not on mine since I was wearing black.  We definitely had so much fun that day even if we were all miserable in the humidity!

Of course I used the Sunshine kit for this LO along with Mindy Terasawa's Sun Shiney Day kit.  I stamped the flowers on the bottom, used the stitch stamp along the borders of my LO and I also used the Smiley flowers as embellishments.

Now it's your turn...take the challenge, create a LO based on Lynda's sketch, who knows you could be the lucky winner!!!  Simply upload your LO to  TGF Galleria>Scrapbooking Kits>Contests/Challenges> 7-11 Sketch (I'm not quite sure if that's the exact folder, but you'll see it when you navigate around the gallery...As of right now Jess has not created a folder...will post a new link if it isn't what I posted.

TGF Challenge - Jacilynn's Sketch

Happy Thursday!  It's TGF Challenge time!  Sorry for posting this late.  I went to the dentist yesterday and after I got home I wasn't feelin' up to it.  They redid my old fillings and my body's metabolisim was on overdrive and they needed to numb me SEVERAL times.  I don't mind the shots, I just kept feelin' the drilling...yikes!  Needless to say I wasn't feelin' all to well afterwards and was in bed the whole night!  

Anyhow, it's another challenge at the Farm so please join us!  Our sketch was from the talented Jacilynn, she's is rolling w/the sketches don't you think?  Upload your layout using TGF Stamps to TGF Galleria>Scrapbooking Kits>Contests/Challenges> 6-24 Sketch.  ONE lucky winner will receive the new MY FAVORITE THING set featuring Oliver and Amelia!  

Here's mine:

Sorry about the horrible pic, the lighting in my office was horrible!!  Plus I printed out a scanned photo and it was awful!

A card for baby Joey

Short post today...so much going on.  It's 2:27 AM and I still up! Been doing a lot of research and on top of that, I had my allergies earlier today, took benedryl and slept the day away.  I suppose I need to call it a night after I post this.  Anyhow, here's a card I made for my cousin's son.  Used Mindy Terasawa's Monster Muncher's which you can get at DD.  Real simple card...  Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Aloha Friday!
