Hello...

Here is a quick card I whipped up for a birthday using Cheeky Chat from the greeting farm. I have a sentiment stamped inside saying "On Your Special Day..."  Thanks for stopping by as always!

More Calendar Easels

Hi there!

I just can't help but make more calendar easels since they are sooo darn cute! Below are three different green calendar sets that I have made using different designer paper combos with Glisten Bean, WS-Gracie, and Winter Yumi. Enjoy!

Miss Anyas

Hi There!

I haven't had any craft time, but do have projects that has been made by crafty buddies to share with you.  My friend gave me a much much belated birthday present and this was what she made me using miss anya sets from the greeting farm.

Above is one side of the mug and below is the other side using dp paper as the background.

Here is a plate she has personalized with another miss anya

Below is a close up

Sewn w/ Love

Hello Everyone!!!

It's been a crazy new year so far for me with work all day everyday pretty much. I got to play catch up in blogland with all your awesome creativity which is a happy place for me that I don't know if I can keep up as usual...LOL. I just wanted to share some sewn things that I absolutely adore and love.

So first up of course, is a hello kitty robe...=) My sister was back in town so she took my mom to the fabric district in downtown and made this!! It is so super soft and keeps me warm to the touch =) I didn't expect this at all and was so happy when my mom made it for me =) She cut everything from scratch too! Wished I have the sewing talent...maybe it will peek out of me someday hehe.

Here is a close up of the print =D

Next up, an apron for me to cook in =D My friend since Middle School has sewn this for me and it is so super cute and looks like a dress literally when worn. Sorry for my bad pictures will need to work on that...Her work is so amazing as I have seen the things she has sewn and knit for her 2 adorable daughters...makes me want to go back in the care free days hehe.

Here is a more close up of the details and print of the apron =)

Happy New Year

Hello Everyone!

It's 2013!!! Hope you all had an eventful 2012 and had a great start to 2013 already!  Just wanted to share a painting that I have done with a group of friends in El Segundo at Vintage Canvas!  We all painted for the first time and it was definitely nerve wrecking when it comes to Paris which is the image below.  Of course, some wine and crackers sure helped bring out our creativity...LOL We had an instructor that walked us through each step and before you know it...we were artists in 3 hours =D I would definitely come back as they have many more art that I would like to fill my walls at home. The painting is on a 16x20 canvas and use water based paint.  This one will definitely be in my craft room for my inspiration =P

Here is the inspiration quote for the night!

This was a finished sample of what our art would look like =)

 Below is my take so far on painting...

And there is me with my palette of colors...LOL

And...TAH DAH! Our Masterpieces making it something of our own!

Merry Christmas

Morning!

Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is cozied up in their pajamas, sipping on hot chocolate, and opening presents around the tree!  I had a bunch of coasters sitting around so I decided to finally put them to use. So I turned them into holiday coasters to hang for Halloween and Christmas!

Below, I used Holiday Anya 2 from TGF. The christmas tree is from a stamp set I got from Michael's. The red ribbon is a lil pleated. I added these gems that I got quite a while back to make the tree sparkle and topped it off with a star punch.

Here is the Halloween side using Skeleton Ian (digi) and sticker embellishments also from Micheals.  The ribbon I used here is black sheer.

Below are close ups of each coaster =) I had brads that were ordered online since they don't have that size at Michael's or Joann's and bind it to the coaster with the Crop-A-Dile.  The letters were cut out using the cricut.

Christmas Eve

Hello Everyone!!

It's Christmas Eve...can you believe it?! I sure can't tell where the time has been all this time...but very excited for what the meaning of Christmas has to bring when it comes to family and friends! I have been a busy elf making sure the joy is surely shared this season with the cards and projects below. I also want to take this moment to wish you all a VERY VERY VERY Merry Christmas and  Happy New Year! Thanks for always dropping by to visit and leaving sweet comments to keep me going. Your support and friendship will never be forgotten and cherished =)

First up are the ikea jars I have filled with mint M&Ms and tied a festive tag to it with a ribbon!

Next, these are some ivory candles also from Ikea that I have personalized with C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie Nora. The back, I have a christmas tree from the Cheeky Xmas set.  The candle is a good size for embellishing. It stands about 6 inches tall and about 2.5 inches diameter.

Here are some candles from Michaels which I used Sweet November Fairwees. I used mono to adhesive the ribbon to the bottom of the candle!

Here is how it looks packaged. I used the clear baking bags from Michaels. You can also use celaphane wrapping (not sure if I spelled that right). I used a sentiment from Cheeky Xmas on a spellbinder for the tag.

Below is the front view

Lastly, you can't have christmas without cards...LOL Here are a few that I have made from my stash =)
