Valentine's Day Cake

It's been awhile since my last post. I just got back from LV yesterday but made this Valentine's Day cake before we left but didn't get to post it. OMG I ended up buying alot of paper again from JoAnn's. At least it wasn't 50 lbs again but it I did pick up alot. Anyway here I made this cake and added some candy inside. These were made for some friends at work. I was kinda rushing when making this and didn't have enough time to make something for the middle of the cake and just added a bunch of flowers in the middle. It sure was fun making it, but it took me about a week to finish. I used the Valentines DP doodlebug design paper and the Dessert Box die cut from Lifestlye crafts.

Heart goodie bags

I still have not had the chance to check other creations but I've had a chance to work on some crafts this weekend. I found a heart shaped goody bag with some candy that was for Valentine's day from Walmart and decided to copy it and make my own. I had some DP stashed away that I brought back from JoAnn's in Las Vegas a while ago so I decided to use them for this project. This bag measures 6-1/2" wide and 6" tall. The top closes with a flap over to the back side and I used a velcro for the closure.

Sorry my pictures are a little blurry. I forgot to charge my battery for my camera so again I used my phone camera. Thanks for stopping by my blog today and Have a Great Day!

Key to my heart

Don't you just love this image. I do anyway! I have been super duper busy since my last creation and have not had the chance to create anything. I'm still here doing other things but not anything to do with paper crafts. I hope to be back real soon to create something for Valentines Day. I've just been SUPER busy at work and been getting home late the past couple of weeks since the holidays and NO time whatsoever for crafts! I hope to check out other blogs this 3 day weekend! Have a nice weekend everybody!!

2011 Calendar

So here's my 2nd creation of the beginning of the year. I'm using "Sweet Heart Birgitta". This calendar measures 8-1/2" tall x 5-1/2" wide. I created the calendars in excel using DJ inkers images and fonts. I also used "The Cinch" to bind the calendar together. I added pockets on the inside of the front and back covers. Hopefully I'll be able to create more while I'm still reorganizing my craft room. It's a never ending story with my craft room. I'm going through some craft things that I want to get rid of but it sure takes a lot of time to go through everything. Anyway thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Week!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

OMG Christmas came and left so quickly!! Before I forget to post something I wanted to be sure that I say that I hope this up coming year 2011 will be better than this year!!

May the dawn of the New Year bring promises of new joys for you....

May your each day be blessed, with Peace, Prosperity and Happiness too!!

Thank you all who stopped by my blog to check out my creations the past couple of years. I hope to still be able to create more after the holiday season. I enjoy surfing other blogs although I must be honest and have not been able to do so lately at all. I will make it a point next year to create more and check out your creations on your blogs!

2011 Calendar and Note holder

Sorry I've been MIA for a while! I'm sure you all know how hectic it's been during the Holiday season!! I started creating my new calendars for 2011 several months ago and finally finished it this past weekend. I had fun making these calendars and wish that I started earlier this year instead of rushing this. I also wanted to make a simple note holder and ended up making the "Box in a bag" for the note paper and pen. I made these for some friends and hope they will like them. I ran out of blank coasters and could not find them anywhere on this island. I guess you can say because of the holiday season they were all sold out. I decided that I will be ordering it bulk from the mainland and I'll never run out. I bought some a while back when I went to a craft fair in Mililani. Hope to get back into the swing of paper crafting soon. Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Hump Day!!

Gift card holder

I'm slowly getting my mojo back to create again. I got the energy today to create a gift card holder. The measurements are 3-1/2" wide, 1" deep and 4-1/2" tall. I cut a couple flowers with felt from the Hello Kitty daisies die cuts. I also used a red flower button to embellish the daisies. I embossed the front and back bottom of the holder then added the DP to the top on both sides. I love how this turned out and will probably make several of these for the holiday season to put the gift cards in them.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a Great Thanksgiving!!

Holiday Card

It's taking me some time to get back into crafting again. I have been so busy that I am so behind in my OCS card and tags for November. So I decided to get moving and finish this card so I can send it out already tomorrow. Believe it or not but this is actually my first easel card that I decided to make. I've seen it so many times but never made one until today. The printed paper is (cupcake paper) from Tiddly Inks and the solid card stock is a Worldwin Cascata Cardstock. Not sure if you can see it but I added some bling to the dots and her wings to brighten the card. Hope you all have a Great Thanksgiving and thank you for stopping by my blog!

Halloween Card, Tags and Invitations!

This is kinda a long post. I haven't had the chance to get on my blog lately but will post what I can now. The days have been going by so quickly! This first card is a Halloween card that I made for the monthly OCS that Linda does monthly. Hopefully my partner will get it before Halloween. I was so last minute in making the card, but was able to send it the beginning of the week. I wanted to use my Himawari babies that I still have so I included them on the card. I used my Silhouette machine to cut out the pumpkins. Still having fun with it.

This next pic is some Halloween tags that I cut out also from my Silhouette machine. As you can see I didn't color the images but colored them from Photo Shop. I'm putting together some kits for some friends to make some Christmas tags for gifts. I added some glitter to each tag to have some bling on them but you can't see them in the pics. I think it's the lighting that blocks it out. They are so cute.

These next two tags is from Joy and Michelle. I didn't get to post them when I received them the past two months. I love them, they are just so darn cute!

These next few photos are the invitations that I was working on for work. We finally were able to finish them! Thanks to all who helped me! I used my living room floor to layout the invites to dry the glitter. My husband happened to come into the house and said "WOW" new style carpet! That was just half of the invites when he came in, the first half was dried so we put the second half down. They were all passed out this week and everyone loved it. All 198 of them.

Halloween Treat Bags

I finally got the chance to really work with my Silhouette machine that I've had for almost 2 years. Since I changed my computer and got a Mac the Silhouette machine was not compatible with it so I had to put it on the side. They finally came out with a program for Mac computers. Yay!!! I'm so happy because I can now do alot more with the new program. I got the chance to cut these cute and simple Halloween Treat bags. I just added a foam spider to the bag to add some color to it. Made these cute bags for some of my friends. Thanks for stopping by to check out my goodies!! Have a Great Day!
