Mindy's Latest...

Hi all!  Just wanted to share Mindy's latest Kit.

Look how adorable this kit is!

 

Here's another Halloween favor for those that don't have time to make anything fancy.  All you do is print, cut and add to a 4x6 baggie (you can resize it to fit whatever baggie you have...beauty of digital).

 All of which you can purchase here.  Stay tune as I may be giving one lucky commenter a copy of the  treat toppers!

I got a few minutes to spare and thought I'd upload a card I made for Pineapple Cove a few weeks ago.  I used TGF's latest Miss Anya.  Here's the card, sorry not much to say but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed w/things to do...aren't we all! (can you hear the violins playin'? (^o*) wink*wink)  Have a great week and hope everyone is doing well!  Aloha!

BTW, the Cutesy Treat Box I made for Mindy is now available for purchase at DD.

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!

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!  

 

Spring Drop Mini Kit by Mindy Terasawa

New kit from Mindy...it's so springy!  I just love the color!  Available at DD now!

I'm still here

I know it may seem like I'm not but I am.  I have been creating, just not as often as I would like.  Uploading the pictures is another step, one that I cannot get myself to do lately :(  So I thought I'd post a picture of what I created for Pineapple Cove using the Hello Kitty stamps.  I think they are just way too adorable.  I knew exactly what I wanted to create off the bat.  As usual, I swiped the pic from PC's blog.  I believe we'll be doing a class at PC focused on Halloween treats/favors.  Stay tune for the announcement (yeah, yeah, I know you're waiting off the edge of your seat! ha!).

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I'll have some downtime to visit everyone's blog!  Have a great Thursday!  Aloha!

Still here...

...just been busy and lazy all at the same time.  I know, how's that possible?  Don't know but I've that is whats truly going on in my live.  My post will get fewer and far between until next year.  But please do check back from time to time cause I will post when I can (if laziness doesn't win).

Anyhow, I'd like to share Mindy's latest kit called Summer Simplicities.  Avail this Sunday at DD.

 

Oh and have you noticed they're already coming out with Halloween designs...crazy!  It's only August and CC Designs has their Halloween line out! Wowzer!  I made these favor samples for Pineapple Cove.  I don't normally give Halloween cards but we all make/do Halloween favors.  I have to say Halloween is one of my favorite holidays besides Christmas!  So here are a couple of favors I made...will post more throughout the week (if I can get to it)

The one on the left (Halloween Birgitta) is a tic tac holder and the one on the right (Sweet November Baby Trick or Treat Hero) is a kit kat holder.    BTW, I snagged this photo from PC's website.  LOL!  Thanks ManLe!


Oh before I forget, Pineapple Cove is now selling Hello Kitty stamps!  AND To celebrate, this weeks 48-Hour Promo is going to be 20% off your Pre-Order of these cute stamps. Sale starts Friday August 13 - 14 . Please visit the webstore to place your pre-order.  I know a lot of my friends who read my blogs are Hello Kitty lovers!  I've already placed my order...now you should too!  Happy shopping!

Wanna win 1000 sheets of paper?

Well guess what...Amy Young from A Thousand Sheets of Paper is giving some major goodies away!  She is celebrating her anniversary (which was Jul 16) and hitting her mark of using 1000 sheets of paper.  I have never known someone to have done that (than again, they may have but didn't know).  So you wanna win some candy?  Simply post this on your blog and spread the word!  Check out the deets on Amy's blog.  Good luck, if I don't win, it would be nice to know one of my followers may!

Pirates of the Caribbean in Hawaii!

Sorry but I'm too lazy to upload pics from my camera to my computer...so I thought I'd take a craft break and post about some exciting things happening on the islands.  Not only are we fortunate enough to live in paradise, BUT we are lucky to have a couple of big Hollywood movie and show filming here!  Two that I can think of at the moment which are Pirates of the Caribbean and the New Hawaii 5-0!  Both of the main stars are my a couple of my favorite actors and thrilled to have them both on the island!  Hope to run into either one or even better...both! ha! Fat chance, but you never know!

Anyhow, we had breakfast on the windward side of the island a couple of weekends ago and noticed the Black Pearl at Kbay...  Exciting isn't it?  I have more pics, but like I said earlier I'm too lazy and for now, you're only getting one pic...lol!

Hope you're all having a great week so far! Aloha!

Candy bar holder

CASE'd this candy bar holder from Michelle.  She gave me a candy bar holder a few months ago and I absolutely loved it.   Anyhow, I made this holder for one of the ladies that works at a LSS.  I rarely see her at the store so I wanted to make sure to give this to her as a thank you for all her help.  Inside the holder is a yummy banana chocolate that dh got from Japan.

Hope everyone has a great week! Aloha!

Mermaid Anya

I haven't inked up my Mermaid Anya since I got her.  And I wanna say I've had her for two years now!  Wow!  That's tellin' you I have way too many stamps!  Yikes!  Anyhow, I made this card for my sis who's bday is next week.  I know, unbelievable I'm actually early AND I have her bday present all ready to mail!  Yeay!  That's a first for me! LOL!  

Sorry for such a short post but I got tons of stuff going on!  I got a lot of Thank You cards I need to make and slowly but surely starting on my Christmas cards so I'll be all ready for them!  Cross my fingers I'll have them done before Christmas!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  Aloha!

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:

Jaci's sketch...

For Laurie

Don't you just love it when your dh ask you to make a card for his secretary and you say "when is it" and he says "today".  UGH!  I'm giving her some Bath and Body stuff and I thought the Me Time Anya image went perfect with the gift.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great week!

Check this card out...

....isn't it just way too adorable?  OMG, I nearly fell out of my seat when I took this baby out of the envelope!  This card was given to me by my dear friend Robyn.  I was very lucky to have met her.  She is the sweetest person.  I will really miss her on our playdates and when I move back to the mainland!  Robyn's last day crafting with us was last week.  She's a teacher and she starts work next week so she'll no longer be playing with us. ☹ I hope from time to time she'll be able to hang out with us! Robyn, don't forget to let us know when you're free and we'll meet up with you!  Thank you so much for my beautiful card!!!  I love it!!!

 Here's a simple card I made for my parents for their anniversary.  Very simple. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! Aloha!
