Happy Thursday

Hello~!

Here again to share a card that I have played along for Yumi and Fumi's Challenge #10 Casing Sandie's Card. I have to say I am on a roll with these challenges...it's been a while and I forgot how fun it is too!  Casing a card is one of the toughest thing for me to do so this is my interpretation of it using Winter Yumi.  The La La Land heart die cut was so cute that I had to add to it hehe.  I am pretty happy of how it came out so hope you got something brewing out of it too!

Surprise~!

Good Morning!

Today is an awesome person's birthday and that is Linda! Feel free to drop by her blog and wish her a wonderful day. You should also consider following her blog too if you haven't already!! Happy Birthday girly! Thanks for always inspiring us with your work and creative ideas which I am sure brings smiles each time even though we are not always recipients =) Hope your day is spoiled rotten and the whole year through!!

On another note...here is the card I made in her honor using Cheeky Geek from TGF.  I am also entering this into the FFF challenge using Flowers and the Retro Fresh Hearts Galore challenge! Notice anything else?! I also used TGF's DTT sketch but didn't make it in time for posting. Still all good since I was able to accomplish a lot on one card hehe. I used Magical Wishes sentiments from AmyR to finish the card off on a cut spellbinder shape with distressed ink from Tim Holtz on the edges.

Already...that was a long post today...thanks for bearing with me today! Come back to visit soon~!

Clips for You

Morning!

My friend Linda made these cute clips for her co-workers and I thought it was such a fun and cute project that I decided to have my own take on it.  The clips are from Michael's and I have DP of their favorite color glued on both sides and embellished it with a ribbon and personalized it with a die cut of the wonka rectangles. The acronym "NBFF" stands for New Best Friend's Forever which is an inside joke we all have ending with their Name initials =) I used Flirty Anya and Miss Anya Lounge set from TGF.  Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Birthday

Morning!

I have a birthday card to share with you using CC Saturday from TGF.  I am also entering this card in TGF's FFF challenge for using Die Cuts...so come and play along since it's so fun!!  I used DP from MME which is a pretty 6x6 set I picked up from Micheal's called "Moments."  The white gray background paper is a geometrical design which you can hardly tell here since the print is small. Anyhow, I used the "Reverse Wonka Rectangles" from spellbinders as my die cut to pop Saturday.  I also used stampin up sentiment and edge punch to finish off the card. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful long President's Day Weekend!

Hello Again!

Happy Valentine's Day! Hawaii is still probably enjoying their day while we in California is bringing it to a close for festivities...lol Anyhow, I wanted to share the valentine card I have made for my hubby using the OA-Lovey Dovey Set.  She is the cutest in this set and loved how she turned out with my new lala land heart banner die cut.  I also made a stack of v-day cards for my co-workers.  I have to say, I definitely put my v-day stuff to use this year hehe. Enjoy the remainder of the day! Oh...I also updated TGF stamps available for sale so check them out and let me know if you have any questions =)



This is inside the card flap that I used a lace heart punch from Martha Stewart



Above is the card I made out of heart spellbinders for some peeps.

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Hi There!

The Lunar New Year started this past Sunday, February 10, 2013 but I wasn't able to post since I did this card the day of and was not feeling too well during the weekend. But hey! I am still good, since it is usually prolonged for 3 days hehehe.  I wanted to enter this into the Yumi & Fumi challenge of punches or die =) The deadline is 2/15/13 so there is still time to submit!! Today also happens to be Renate's birthday from Yumi & Fumi so stop by her blog to show her some love!! I used Sister Stamps of the Lion Dancers for this card with vibrant new year colors. I used a spellbinder to cut out the background shape and embossed it. The DP is a washi paper I picked up from Hanko's. The sentiments I have hand written them and glued it on extra yellow embossed paper I had.  Enjoy the remainder of the week as it is Valentine's day also =D



Going Green...

Morning!


So I had a bunch of left over pre-cut spellbinder embossed green paper that I wanted to incorporate into cards. Below is my take that are quick and easy for cards =D

Below, I used Big Anya Celebrates and a printed sentiment that my guru friend has given me awhile ago...it worked out perfect with a flower gem to finish the card off.

Here is a close up of the sentiment

Here, I have the cutest Sweet Fairwee sitting on a cupcake for another birthday.  I hand wrote the sentiment which says "May Your Day be the Sweetest Ever"

Here is a closer view of the sentiment


 Finally, I have Bright Bean for this card with rounded corners and distressed banners that spells out smile to complete her sentiment.
