October swap and goodies....

Wow haven't been on my blog for a while. I finally finished my Halloween card swaps but now in the process of finishing my Halloween centerpieces. I have this weekend to finish up and 11 more to go. Isn't this first card cute? I used the marvy halloween ghost and bat punch that I bought from Fisher Hawaii for both cards. I also colored Kiyomi from Sister Stamps for my second card. Yay it's finally the end of the week and hope you all have a great weekend and a fun Halloween! Thanks for stopping by to check out my creations!!

This next picture is some halloween goodies that include anti-bacterial hand gel. I used Trevor and Swiss Pixie from CC Designs and colored them on Adobe Photoshop instead of coloring it individually.

Here are the centerpieces that I am currently working on and are filled to the top with candies. I originally saw a picture of a really small version about 3" tall and decided to see if I could make it bigger for a centerpiece. Its about 7" tall and the rim of the hat is 6.5" wide. The black hat is removable and can be used as a cover when the candies are taken out.

Halloween Table Centerpiece

I'm getting ahead of myself and made this Halloween Table centerpiece. I saw another version of this but it was much smaller than this one so I had to re-create it with my own dimensions. I drew a triangle, added tabs to the sides and bottom so I could attach them together. There are 3 pieces total for the triangle then made another 3 triangles for the top black part. The bottom of it is 6" wide and I used my Silhouette machine to cut the circle and scallop bottom. In order to take the candies out, you will need to cut off the top under the black piece to get the candies.The bottom of the triangle measures about 4-1/4" wide. It stands about 6" tall. The DP is from K & Company which I had left from last Halloween. Lastly, I added hershey kisses inside which is the best part of it. It turned out the way I wanted it to and I'm happy. Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Week!!

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!

More Halloween treats

I am sharing with you a couple more Halloween treat bags that I made last night. Halloween is really not one of my favorite days as I don't care to watch scary movies but I don't mind making these little favor pieces to give a little something for Halloween. I am working on a couple more Halloween treat bags and will post them as soon as I am done. Thanks for checking out my creations and Have a Great Week!

Halloween treats / Post it and paper clip holder

It's an ugly day today and it's pouring here in Wahiawa!! Anyway, I came across a blog @ Mega Stampin Studio where you can get the instructions. You could actually give this as a small gift or use it to put a gift card and some goodies to someone. I made a mistake when punching the holes for the handles and put it on the front instead of the top but you really can't see it as I covered it up with the brown flowers. I used the jumbo size paper clips and added the circles and flowers on the top of it and also included 2 each 1-1/2" x 2" post its and covered and decorated it. I think this is going to be my next project for my craft class that I do once a month.

Thanks for checking out my blog to check out my creations and Have a Great Sunday!

I also created some Halloween stuff too and made a "Pop up" card with the hand. I drew my own hand to make the template so you can tell it looks so feminine. I think I need to draw someone else's hand to make it again. The Frankenstein is a candy holder to give to the kids. Saw them making this at the scrapbook store so I had to improvise and create my own because it was for the kids. I thought it turned out really cute!!

Halloween Pop up and goodie bags

I offered to help my friend make these goodie bags for a family party for this weekend. She wanted Hawaiian print DP but since I couldn't find something that she would like I decided to use wrapping paper from Island Heritage to cover the front and back of the bag. The guests are from Mexico so she wanted it to have a Hawaiian theme. I though it turned out pretty good! I hope she'll like it.

I am sharing with you all a couple "Pop Up" cards that my sister made to give to her friends. I am in the process to make one of these too and hopefully it comes out as nice as hers. Its such a neat card!

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Friday!!! who hoooo the weekend is almost here!!

Tissue boxes

This weekend I am having some friends over and my sister and I will be teaching them to make the 2010 calendars that I previously posted. I also made Halloween goodie bags for them and some tissue boxes and other items that will be prizes. It will probably be a long day and hopefully the weather will be good and not too humid.

For the pumpkin baskets I used 10 each 3" ovals that I cut with my Cricut Expression which made it a whole lot easier than doing it one at a time. The basket is about 2-1/2" tall and 3" wide.

I love the tissue box pattern that I got from Cute Stuff. It makes it look so decorative!

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!

Pumpkin Treat Bag

Today I decided to make another Halloween treat bag. The mood is coming back again to make something. This treat bag is made of 5 each of Petite Ovals Nesties glued on each side of the bag. I also drew and cut out a couple maple leaves and stems and colored them. The bag measures 2-1/2" tall x 3" wide x 1-1/2" d. Since I like Hello Kitty I thought I'd add it to the front of the treat bag to make it look cuter. I also made another with Swiss Pixies Brigitta. Thanks for stopping by today and stay tuned for the winner of the Hello Kitty ornaments!

Halloween Treat Box & Hello Kitty Ornament

If you haven't already heard what happened to me this past weekend, I hurt my leg because of a toad that scared me. How can that be since I'm bigger than he is right. Well as I was walking over to the back house just before I reached the stairs this toad jumps out of the dark and I almost stepped on it. It scared that crap outta me and I tried to avoid it and took a double step and tried to get on the first stair but I missed it. I felt my calf snap and then I felt PAIN! I waited until the next morning to go to the doctor because I thought I could handle the pain. WRONG! First thing in the early morning I called my doctor and he said to go to the emergency just incase because he was worried it was bleeding and may have a blood clot. Thank goodness it wasn't bleeding!! They gave me pain meds and crutches to walk. The calf muscle has micro tears and feels like I'm having cramps in the calf all the time. Call me crazy but I may go back to work tomorrow. It's too hot at home. I don't know we'll see how it feels in the morning. My son said mom you should have just squashed it. I was afraid of it splattering! YUK!

Anyway since I am at home from work not being able to walk around much because of my leg, I thought I'd sit here at my craft table and create something. I finally got to make something today! Yay!! Anyway I've been seeing this treat box through other blogs and been wanting to try and make one too. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I finally got this stamping bella stamp that took almost 1-1/2 months since I ordered it. I think it got lost in the mail somewhere in Canada. I don't know but I thought that I should use it before Halloween is over.

STAY TUNED FOR HELLO KITTY HALLOWEEN ORNAMENTS GIVEAWAY TOMORROW!!

Here's a Hello Kitty Halloween Ornament that I made today. I made a bunch of Hello Kitty heads earlier and realized that I put the bows all on the wrong side. I didn't want to get rid of it and thought maybe I can still use it. I decided to make a witch hat for it. It turned out cute.
