Here comes the bride...

...CONGRATULATIONS...
Happy Hump Day Everyone!  Did you survive the elections?  Thank goodness it's over.  Any whoo...I wanted to share with you a card I made.  I will be going to one of my BFFs wedding this Saturday and I really wanted to make her a special card.  Her colors are magenta and charcoal gray.  I loved the colors she picked, but it was hard for me to figure out what to do.  I went to "google" some others cards and then came up with my own.  I decided to use TGF image...really cute.  Then I went to town...with layers, embossing, bling, sparkle, flowers and I even used tulle.  Put it together and voila!  my card is complete.  I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.
I even decorated the inside...a little any way.  
"May today be the beginning of a love that lasts forever"
I hope she likes her card.  I am so excited for her.  
I hope this unity will last forever and that the guy she chose is "the one".  
Have a wonderful week.
Thanks for stopping by and for all the love and support.
Till next time...remember that life is supposed to be fun :)

Believe...

 ...FRIENDSHIP...
How is everyone's week going?  Happy Friday!  I finally get a chance to share another card with you.  I wanted to say thank you to a dear special friend who I met through this crafting/blogging world and is now part of my crafting sisters!  She stopped by and shared a few goodies with my daughter and I and I can't thank her and her hubby enough!  We are truly blessed!  So I decided I better make a card.  I used this cute bean called "bright".  She was too sweet to pass up!  I used some pretty flowers and added some shimmer to finish it off.

I miss all of you.  I wish I had time, but at my new job I can't look at the internet at all.  so when I get a chance...I will post again and hopefully stop by your blogs.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Treat time...

 ...HAPPY HALLOWEEN...
It's almost that time for the trick or treat!  
I wanted to share with you what I made this year for my fellow soccer players and my mom's friends.  My co-worker had received a box like this from her friend and when I saw it, I said...I can make this!  So of course I tried it out and mass produced this box about 40+ times.  Here's a picture of most of them.  Can you figure out what I used to make these?
Here is a picture of three up close...I used orange, purple and green for my boxes.
 This is a single box...I used an image from Mindy Terasawa.  I bought some cute Halloween paper from Ben Franklin, but then I had to cut it up into thin strips.  It kinda defeated the purpose, but oh wells.
Hope you are all having a great October!  I am trying to keep afloat and to keep crafting.  I hope I can share more with you when I create more and have the time to post!  
Have a blessed week!

Matchbook Post-it-notes...

...SUGAR NELLIE... 
Before I left the Jury Pool Office...I wanted to make the law clerks something small from me.  I saw this great idea somewhere and decided to make them.  I decided to make them in different colors and decorate these matchbook post-it-notes with all the different lace ribbons I received from Lacey at Stamp and Create.  I also added a mini pen to it as well.  here's what it looks like with all of them...
This is what one looks like up close...

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Happy Saturday Everyone!  I have been gone for a long time!  So much has been going on in my life and I can't wait to update you on it, but for now I want to share with you a bridal shower card.  I will be going to one of my best friend's bridal shower today who is the sweetest friend I know.  I am wishing her a "happy ever after".  I decided to use my flowers and design my own wedding dress.  I then added a note, more flowers and used some pretty pink pearls.  I made it into a easel card.  Her colors are pink and gray.   here is what it looks like...
 
 Here's to much happiness, love, laughter and a "happy ever after"!

Awwww Thanks...

...YOU ARE TOO SWEET...
Happy Hump Day everyone!  Hope your weekend went well and that your week is going smoothly.  This will be a short post, but I wanted to share this card with you that I made for my brother.  He was going to a 1st birthday for a little girl and so I made it into a pink and brown shaker card.  I used my reverse wonky rectangles for the window, added my beads, some crocheted ribbon, bling and a cute sentiment.  I even decorated the inside, but I forgot to take a picture of that...sorry.
Well that's it!  Hope you have a beautiful day!  As we see all this violence in the world going on around us...Please make sure to hug each other, tell them you love them and just cherish every moment as we can't seem to forget...LIFE is TOO SHORT, so don't take anything for granted.
BIG HUGS from ME to YOU!!!

Time for School...

...BEAN COLLECTION...
 Happy Friday Everyone!  I wanted to share a couple composition books with you today.  My daughter will be starting 7th grade soon...my baby is growing up!  But she still wants me to decorate her covers, so I am happy.  I decided to use TGF bean collection for these ones.  The first one I used is called: Shiny Bean.  I colored her with my copics, used some pretty DP paper, used a border punch, added some crocheted ribbon and used my nesties...here's the first one!

This one is the second book I covered.  This one is using Glimmer Bean and Shimmer Bean.  Did the same thing for this one.  I am pretty happy with the way it turned out!
Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  Enjoy the time you have with family and dear friends!
till next time...Take care!

Shaker Sets...

 ...HAPPY 4TH OF JULY...
 I hope you are spending this time with family and friends!  I am down at the beach right now...having fun with my family, but I did want to share with you what I have been working on.  Every year we have an annual neighborhood watch dinner and we also have a grab bag exchange with whoever wants to participate.  So I try to make our gifts original and handmade.  So this year I came up with the shaker checkbook cover w/ matching pen, a shaker easel post-it-note and a mini post-it-note.  For both sets I used images from Lili of the Valley.  This set I used "Maisie Two Balloons".
This set used "Milly me and my dog".  I love the DP I picked up at J's Knicknacks the other day.
Have a wonderful week everyone!  Be safe and remember to ENJOY LIFE!!!  Soak it all in and LIVE IN THE MOMENT!!!

You make my whole face smile :)

...MINI CLUTCH POST-IT-NOTES...
Hello Everyone!  My mom gets together with her friends once a month and I decided to make something for them.  Usually I only make for special occasions, but I was in the mood to create, so I did.  I knew I wanted to use my mini post-it-notes, but as for what I wanted to make, well that was something else.  I decided to use my Nesties the Reverse Wonky Rectangles to create this.  I made 12.
here's what a single one looks like.  I added a sentiment and some crochet trim.
this is what it looks like once it's open.  I used mini velcro dots to hold it close.  I hope the ladies enjoy it!
Thank you for being so supportive and for stopping by!  I really appreciate the sweet comments and that you are truly dear friends who visit me even when I am MIA!
Keep Smiling :)

Give a WHooT...

...OWL YOU READY FOR THE WEEK?...
Happy Monday Everyone!  Can you believe it's July already?!  Wow, time really does fly by.  Well I had a chance to create this weekend and so I wanted to finish up a few things.  I also had a chance to stop by J's Knicknacks and picked up a few things.  I found this cutie!  I am not into owls, but this one was so kawaii...so I got it.  I turned this pull out card into...what else...a shaker!!!  LOL!  I used my dahlia nesties for the window, added my color beads from martha stewart and added that cute sentiment.
here's what it looks like when you pull up the ribbon and out comes...the goodie I stashed in it!
Have a WONDERFUL week...

Purple Fun...

...HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY KAYLA...
Happy Monday everyone!  I am so glad I got a chance to craft this weekend.  My niece's birthday is coming up this Saturday and so I wanted to make some cards for her.  One is for my mother (her grandma) and the other one is from us.  So this first one I decided to make a gatefold card.  Something simple.  I used my nesties to create the front design, colored with my copics and used the cute flirty Anya.  Her favorite color is purple...I added a pretty purple flower and some bling too.  Here's what it looks like...
this is what it looks like once it's opened...
On to my next card.  Here I created a shaker easel card.  She was so fascinated by my shaker checkbook covers that I made for Taelyn's teachers, that I thought why not make her a shaker card.  I used everything purple...DP, beads and colored her with my purple copics...V20 & V25.  I hope she enjoys it.
Well that's all I have for now.  Hope you have a wonderful week!  I hope to create more and be able to post more often.  Thanks for the support and for stopping by!  Till next time:  Remember take it day by day and stop to enjoy the scenery!

Graduations Galore!

...CONGRATS JACQUELYNN...
I have another graduation card to share with you.  My cousin's daughter in San Francisco has already graduated.  I wanted to make her a special card.  So I found my graduation Anya digi and made her just the right size, colored her in the school colors and added those shaker beads.   I tried to make it simple as I had to send it in the mail and adding too many embellishments makes it very hard to mail.  This is my card...sorry the picture is not too clear as I took a picture with my cell phone.
Have a beautiful weekend!  Have you been following the EURO soccer 2012?!  Well I have and my team...Portugal (Cristiano Ronaldo) is in it!  they made it to the semifinals!  Wishing them luck!  If you want to seen what I mean...here's a picture :)

A Hawaiian Touch...

...POST-IT-NOTES...
Hello Everyone!  Sorry that I didn't get a chance to post before I left for Vegas, but I do have a chance now, so I will.  I wanted to create something for my family when we went to our family reunion in Vegas.  We have a reunion every year and this time I wanted to give them something homemade.  I wanted to use "hawaiian" looking paper as most of them are from CA.  I found more paper at Ben Franklin and this is what I came up with.  I used the 3" x 3" post-it-notes.  something simple and easy to make.  here's a picture of all of them...
here is a single one by itself...

here's what it looks like once it's opened...

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  I had a very short week as I only returned to work on Thursday, but I will definitely enjoy my weekend :)
Thanks as always for stopping by!

SHAKE...SHAKE...SHAKE...

...TAG and CARD...
 Happy Tuesday Everyone!  Hope you all enjoyed a long weekend.  I had Monday off as it was Memorial Day!  This is a very short week for me.  I am off to Vegas at the end of this week.  A long and deserved vacation!  I can't wait!!!  Well as you can see I created a shaker tag for a dear friend who will be sworn in on Friday, June 1st @ the Supreme Court.  Congrats Jessica!!!  I attached it to a lei.  Purple is her favorite color...just like mine!  Hope she likes it!

Next card is for a graduate from Kamehameha.  Her party was this past Monday.  I created a shaker card with the same cutie...Cheeky Geeky!  I also created one more, but forgot to take a picture of it, but it was just like this one...only pink :)
I hope I can post one more thing before I leave.  I am making something to give to my family.  We have a family reunion every year in Vegas...that's why we are going!  Thought that I should use my talent and share with my family some handmade goodies!  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a gorgeous week everyone!
