Did anyone say Louis Vuitton?

Doesn't this bag resemble a Louis Vuitton purse?  When I saw ManLe's email about what today's project was I was over the moon!  This cute little purse would make such a cute Bridal Shower or Birthday party favor, don't you think?  I absolutely love it.  Now the other ladies decided to go with a different dp/cs but I choose to stay with the same color as ManLe's sample.  I like how it really resembles a LV purse.  If you're interested in learning how to make it, Pineapple Cove will be offering a class.  Check out their site for class details.  As always, thanks for stopping by! Aloha!

Say hello to Shimmer Redkelp

...lol! I crack up every time I read the names of these mermaids.  The names are weird, but the mermaids are so pretty!  Made this card for Pineapple Cove using Kaiser Kraft dp, CC Designs Shimmer Redkelp and Celebrate sentiment from Hero Arts.  All available at Pineapple Cove (except for the oval and scallop punch).  If you're not on the island you can still make a purchase through their website!

Can you see the glimmer in her hair? Click on the pic to enlarge.

OK as for the blog giveaway, I decided to hold off on it yet again! Why is it whenever I plan on doing one, everyone is doing one?!?!  LOL!  It's all good.  But I don't want my blog giveaway to get lost in all the other giveaways.  So I'll wait for the majority of them to die down before i do mine.  Stay tune!

Oh before I forget here are Mindy Terasawa's two newest kits avail at DD.

Aren't they so pretty?!?!!

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:

A Cupcake for you and Quickpage winners!

Quick post...made this card for Pineapple Cove.  Everything I used on the card (except for the ribbon) is from Pineapple Cove.  The stamp is CC Design's Cupcake Belle, DP is Kaiser  Craft Hey Birdie Collection.  Check out the store located at the Kahala Mall or  you can visit them online here.

Winners for the Spaceman Quickpages are:

Please email me so I can send you the files.  Peks, just call me so I can explain or do it for you! LOL!  As always thanks for stopping by.  Check back next week...I am finally going to do the blogcandy that I was suppose to do back in Jan!

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! 

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.

For Cass

Made this card for my GOD Daughter Cass.  I owe her last years birthday pres, Christmas, 6th grade grad so I couldn't or didn't think it was appropriate to make her a card for all those occasion and decided to just make a universal card.  Call it lazy or procrastinating but I at least made her a card.  

As of right now, this little cutie is my favorite out of the Farm line!  I thinks she's so adorable and thought it would be perfect for Cass.  Since I see Fleur more Hawaiian than an Enchanted little cutie, I thought what a perfect card from me to her!  Blah, blah, blah, blah! haha!  I'm exhausted, it's well pass midnight and I have a long and early day tomorrow!  So without further ado here's the card (lifted the LO from the Artist behind the Farm)

Hope you're all having a wonderful day!  Aloha!

Patriotic Cheeky!

OK, that's not really her name...LOL!  But I thought she looked so patriotic with her uniform and all...  Made this card for Pineapple Cove.  Got all the supplies from PC, if you didn't know they now have an online store!  For all my friends and family that has been asking me where I get my stuff, click on the link and it'll take you to PC shop site.  You can also visit their blog here.

Happy stamping!

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!

Oops...

I forgot to post this on Father's Day!  I made this card for my dad on Father's Day...made my FIL a different one but I like this one.  I lifted the LO from Kristine W.  Nothing special about it except it's for my dad.  I don't know about creating masculine cards w/my Ian's or Wild Sprout when it comes to older men...LOL!  But that's not to say I won't.  Just felt I'd make them something different.  Thanks for stopping by!  Aloha!

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!

TGF Summer LO Challenge!

Hey folks!  It's Challenge time at the Farm!  Our challenge was to create a summer theme LO.  I just love summer and living in Hawaii, we have that year round.  

I created this LO of my dad and my sister at the famous Waikiki beach.  They were visiting during Christmas (see...I wasn't joking about our summers being year round...LOL).  Going to the beach with my dad was a milestone because he had suffered a stroke and heart attach eight months prior.  It's a slow and long recovery but he's making it and I thank GOD everyday for this miracle!!! 

Please join us and create a LO with a summer theme!  Easy-peasy!  I'm sure since most of you have kids on summer vacation already and if you're a scrapper you've already busted out the camera!  LOL!  Join us and upload your LO at:TGF Galleria>Scrapbooking Kits>Contest/Challenges>Beach Theme no later than Tuesday, June 22nd.  Winner will be announced on Thursday the 24th with our next SB contest and ONE LUCKY WINNER will receive a 4x6 set of their CHOICE!

TGF Sunshine Kit Avail TODAY!

Hello! Just a reminder that the TGF Sunshine Kit is available today at the Farm.  Run on over and grab it!  Made this real simple card using it...super cute stamps!!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Monday!

O-M-G! I just LOVE the mermaid image from Amy!  She is one talented artist and these mermaid stamps has to be my new favorite stamps!!  Look how pretty she looks!  Anyhow, here's my card...it's a bday card for my SIL and I absolutely love the dp I used...so colorful and vibrant...don't you think?  LOL

Thanks for stopping by!!!  BTW, I got these stamps from Munchkins at the Mililani Towne Center.  If you want her, hurry up cause Cyn only had a couple left.

It's FFF at the Farm (TGF)

Aloha!  Today is FFF (Farm Fresh Friday) at the Farm today!!  We're to make a LO using another wonderful sketch from Mercy!  Please feel free to join us on this challenge!!!

Here's my take on the sketch

Doesn't this LO scream SUMMER VACATION?  LOL!  I took this photo when we were visiting the island of Maui.  Love that there weren't anyone in this photo.  Usually the beaches are crowded.  Of course I used the new TGF SB kit Sunshine!  See how versatile this kit is?  I mean yesterday's LO was of Japan, today its of Hawaii! 

Simply upload your LO or card to the following gallery category:

TGF's New Scrapbook kit - SUNSHINE!

Hey everybody!

We are SO stinkin' excited over at The Greeting Farm...and ready to spread the SUNSHINE!  Why?  Because SUNSHINE is the name of the newest 8 1/2x11 JUMBO KIT of rubber stamps being previewed today on the TGF Blog!

Just in time for summer, SUNSHINE is full of larger sized stamps, perfect for scrapbooking, cardmaking, or any papercrafting!  And ONE LUCKY WINNER just might take one home after hoppin' around the Scrapbooking DT's blogs today!

In addition?  The TGF Scrapbooking Team is THRILLED to welcome LYNDA NIELSEN to our gang!  You may recognize Lynda as one of our Gardeners and now she is back and ready to get scrappin'!   Welcome!

For our Challenge today, (did you KNOW that TGF is doing weekly scrapbooking challenges on the TGF Blog?) I used this great sketch by SB team member Jaci:

My layout today is (what else...JAPAN!) I'm tryin' to finish at least one album this year!  LOL!  And since I have tons of photo's of my trips back home, I thought since they're all still fresh in my memory to finally complete a whole album!  Of course that doesn't mean that all my LOs will be of Japan after all this is a summer kit, but just because it's a summer kit doesn't mean you have to use it for just the summer LOs!!  That's what is so great about these kits!  They're so versatile!  Anyhow, This is my title page of my album. 

I'm so excited to show you more week after week and hope you'll play along with our challenges too!  They are every Thursday for scrapbooking and each week we offer up a GREAT prize!

Not much time...

Aloha! Sorry been MIA since last Friday.  From here on out  who knows when I'll be able to post.  I'm a bit sad I won't be able to create and blog as often as I would like but what can you do?  Hopefully once everything is all done I can get back into the groove.  But until then, I'll at least have two or three (if I'm lucky) updates on my the blog.  Thanks as always for stopping by and checkin' in!  Again, I hope to find some time to visit everyone's blog!

Onto my card, this card is for my dh's niece.  Seems like this is my go to LO when I when I'm in a hurry.  It's cool...I don't mind.  I'm just happy I get to create something!

I just adore this image.  It's of Cuddle Anya which I got from Pineapple Cove.  If you want her please visit ManLe's store or for those of you who are not living on the island they now have an online store.  I also used my girl Mindy's dp called It's a Girl Thing which you can purchase here.  And while you're there, check out her other great kits!!!

And just because I'm feeling generous, I will give away this quickpage to one lucky follower.  Please leave a comment telling me where you're from, how'd you find my blog and what is your favorite place to shop (craft shopping) online.  Good luck!

PS Please check back later tonight for the preview of the new TGF Scrapbook Kit!

PSS - I'll be teaching another Copic Hair Session at Pineapple Cove this weekend.  I believe there's a couple of seats still open.  Please contact ManLe to reserve a seat.  Thanks and hope to see some of you there!

Coaster Bag

The other day we had a playdate at Pineapple Cove and we made this cute little Coaster Bag.  I have to say, whenever I'm there I never really make anything or finish a project but I was so into it I made two.  Actually I didn't finish them cause we were missing the bags so I had to finish it at home  (I rarely finish a project if I take home) and this is the outcome:

I have another one in the works but I'm not making it a bag...stay tune (like I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat waiting to see what I come up with...NOT! LOL!).  The paper I used was from Leslie's pile (thanks Leslie!).  I just thought it was just the cutest dp!

Anyhow, thanks for looking!  I hope to have some time to visit everyone's blog!  Hope everyone is doing well!  Aloha!

PS you can get the coasters from Pineapple Cove.  Also if you didn't know Pineapple Cove has an online store now!  Check it out!!!

Proud!

I just have to say how proud I am of Norma!  She took my Copic class last Saturday and checkout her work

Can you believe how awesome her coloring is?  I don't think she needed the class at all!!!  She did an awesome job!!!  So proud of her and her work!  Bravo Zulu Norma!  Is Bravo Zulu a military term  and only dorks like me use it? LOL! 

Hey there!

No project on today's post.  Same song and dance, I was busy with life.  I hope to get some crafting done today but I got a lot planned for my day...we'll see!  Also won't be able to craft as much for the next few months, something's come up and hopefully I will be able to squeeze some craft time here and there.  I will definitely have my weekly TGF Challenges and upcoming previews done, so please do check back from time to time cause there will at least be that posted on the blog.  

I want to say I did my first Copics class and even though I wasn't nervous, I never liked teaching in fear that no one will learn a thing from me.  I guess I don't feel I have that "teaching" skill.  LOL!  But thankfully this class proved me wrong.  It was a hit and I plan on doing a few more classes!  I had fun, met lots of great women!  Joy of Joy of Crafting was in my second class.  I was a bit shocked!  LOL!  She was funny and I was so glad to have met her and the others!  Thanks ladies for making my first class a success, you all did wonderful!  I also want to thank my girl ManLe for giving me the opportunity to teach!  I may consider doing that when I move back to the mainland!  Who knows, we'll see!

If you stayed long enough to read all this, thank you!  I'll leave you with a pic of Roxy enjoying her day at the beach yesterday!  Aloha!

TGF's Summer from Roll Call and Mindy Terasawa's Sun Shiny Day Kit

Check out Mindy's latest kit called Sun Shiny Day...I love it!!!

TGF Button Challenge

Aloha! It's Thursday and that means it's TGF Challenge day!  Today's challenge is to use button on our LOs.  I've had these buttons forever and so glad I was able to put them to use!  My stash is slowly being use and I'm happy about it!  Woohoo!  LOL!

LO is about me and my bro visiting our hometown for the first time and one of our first stops was the Navy Exchange.  It definitely brought back a ton of my childhood memories.  Anyhow, thanks as always for stopping by and please join us on this challenge!  Simply upload your layout to TGF Galleria>Scrapbooking Kits>Contests/Challenges>Button it! by TUESDAY, MAY 25th

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!

Sick...

Haven't had much time to craft, been sick since Tuesday and even though I've been sick I still have to run errands, so it was really nice to just lay on the couch all day yesterday and wish I could do it today but I have to go to the PO to mail some packages and run a few more errands.  I convinced M that maybe this weekend we can just stay in and resume our Hawaii outings for next weekend.  With that said, I don't have any crafts to share so I'm sharing one of my favorite pics from my friend Corinna's photo session.  For those that don't know I do family portraits and most of my clients are from back home and I took a break from my photography business.  I will resume when I move back to SD...or unless I have a request while I'm here.  Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy the pic (^o^)

TGF Challenge - Color Challenge

Aloha!  We have another TGF Challenge going on! Here's my LO...yes, some of the pics are a bit blurry but hey, sometimes those are the photos you get.  Anyhow this is of my precious Avery on Christmas 2006.  I believe this was his last Christmas where he was himself (Christmas 07 was his last and he wasn't well).  Anyhow, this is about him opening his present...I think I'll make something like this for this year's card...we'll see.  I'll have to change it up a bit but I think it'll be similar to this style.  I used the TGF In the Spotlight butterfly for background, used the arrow stamp for the tree and of course I had to use Christmas Ian! 

These were the colors we had to use.  Upload your Layout or 3D item to TGF GALLERIA>Scrapbooking Kit>Contests/Challenges>Better in Color

Create a Critter Project 1

Aloha! It's Monday...which is usually my rest day where I don't do a thing! LOL!  Weekends are usually busy soaking in the Hawaii atmosphere, taking advantage of this beautiful island cause my time here is now limited.  I will definitely miss this wonderful place, but I also miss the mainland and being "accessible" to everything that I so dearly miss.  I know when I'm gone, I will miss the food and weather but I think I miss my family and the holidays with cold weather more.  Believe me, I never thought I'd want to move back to the mainland but I do.  I will keep my house here so visiting will be a regular for me.  Anyhow...I'm not leaving yet but I'm tryin' to fit in as much as I could so I can say I didn't waste my time here.  (Wow, check out how many time I used "miss"! LOL!)

Before I forget, I wanted to wish all the mother's,  grandmother's, guardians and anyone who has to be in that position of taking care of someone a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  I should have posted this greeting yesterday but I was out both days this weekend and computer time was pretty much nil! 

OK, enough about me...  I've been dying to use my Create a Critter and saw some notebooks at Stamps and Memories and loved them!  I lifted the idea but used it on the mini composition books.  I love how it turned out.  It's simple (what's new) but thought it turned out cute (at least for me it's cute...ha!)

I can't wait to make more of these for my nieces!  Me and a couple of my gf's are getting together to do a mini composition session.  LOL!  I will be sure to post some of them!  If you haven't already bought yourself the Create a Critter cartridge, what are you waiting for? LOL!

Oooohhhhh, before I forget I wanted to post this card that my gf Margarita made for me, dh and Roxy.  I love the simplicity of it...sometimes we get caught up tryin' to add all the embellishments that we forget that sometimes less is more.  Look how beautiful her card is!  Thanks chick!

Just to show you how lazy I am, I took this photo off her site...hahahaha!

It's Friday!

Aloha! This is gonna be a short post.  Made this card for one of my bff who happens to also be my GOD sister.  Her birthday was on Cinco de Mayo!  Yes, yes, I'm late! LOL!  As always, thanks for stopping by!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

TGF Challenge - Mother's Day LO

OK, so today's post was suppose to be my TGF Challenge which was to create a LO for Mother's Day.  I misread the email and did next week's Challenge instead! I worked on it all night last night and was so proud I had it submitted earlier than I normally submit my LOs.  Needless to say, I have no LO (*o*)  So I am posting my Mother's Day card for my mom, I also made one for my MIL but made it in a different color.  I of course lifted this from Splitcoaststampers and need to go back and give credit to the original creator!  I will still be doing a Mother's Day LO but that'll be posted tomorrow (hopefully).  

So even though I wasn't able to post my LO today please still participate in the Challenge in honor or Mother's all around the world and for your own mom!  

Upload your layout  to Tgf Galleria>Scrapbooking>Contests/Challenges>All about Mom

You have until Tuesday, May 12th to enter to WIN a TGF Single of Choice (in stock).!  WINNER will be announced here on the blog next Thursday during the next SB Challenge!

Hello!

Hi All!  Hope everyone had a great weekend and a Happy National Scrapbook Day!  Did everyone get to craft this weekend?  i didn't!  Had a few things I needed to take care of.  Yesterday was the same.  I pretty much spent the whole day cleaning.  Today I am out running errands and I hope this week I'll be able to fill a box full of goodies for the Philippines.  I so need to get rid of a lot of things and my cousins back in the Philippines can definitely use some of my stuff.

Enough about me...today's card I used the very cute Monster Fun by Hero Arts (did I tell you how much I love this set?).  I've been super lazy and haven't wanted to color anything images lately AND I've been wanting to use my other stamps.  Yes folks, I do have other stamps!  I hope to use them much more, give them some of the spotlight.  (^o^)  So w/o delay here's my card, it's simple but as you know that's how I roll!  LOL!
