Ohhhhh.....goodies!

My BFF, Joy, surprised me with this cute little card and these goodies yesterday! We play soccer together and she gave them to me before the game.




Cute little card!




Adorable mermaid bag stuffed with goodies!





Adorable Whipper Snapper stamp entitled "A Hug for Ike"



and my favorite.....

The "Mini Mermaid" from Whipper Snapper! Joy and I had been eyeballing this one at Whipper Snapper Designs for a couple of months,but never ordered it. I was hoping that we could find it elsewhere, but she surprised my with it! Isn't she the best! Thanks Joy!

Little Birdhouse for my BFF

Found this cute little birdhouse on Stamping with Roxy at: http://stampingwithroxy.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/09/inspired-by-nature-roxy-bloxs-anda-sweet-little-birdhouse-ornament.html
Corinne "Roxy" got it from Nichole's website over at Capture the Moment (on my sidebar).

Thought it was sooooo cute! So I made my BFF, Joy, one using my SU Urban Garden DSP and my Eastern Blooms and So Kind stamp sets. Hope she likes it! Tried to get a good pic, but it was really hard. Enjoy and aloha!

Card for my sister's engagement

Made this card for my sister who recently got engaged. Used a giant background stamp to do the back and then my scallop edge and some bling. Hopefully she will like it. Aloha!

Give and you shall recieve, lol

I made my BFF Joy this card the other day.



Used a lot of diamond blings, because she is my BFF and diamonds are all of our BFFs, lol! So I gave her this card and look what she gave me!



The cutest cupcake card ever! Just love it! It has a little velcro flap on the inside to keep it down. Now I had to go and buy that stamp, Simple Birthday Thanks, too! She also gave me this cute little basket made with the new SU Baskets and Blooms Bigz Dies filled with candy.



It also had bling on it too on the little flower. Isn't she the best!



Thanks for looking and aloha!

Another Halloween Card

Made this Halloween card using my Whipper Snapper Peek-a-Boo Ghost and and my Cuttlebug Embossing folder Pumpkin Harvest. CS colors used were Wild Wasabi, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black and Whisper White. This WS stamp is a real cutie and was given to me by my BFF, Joy. Hope you all enjoy and aloha!

Okay, so I lied.....Sketch challenge from Jen at I Heart To Stamp

Okay, so I said that I wasn't going to post anything until Tuesday, but my daughter is sick and I am home feeling somewhat inspired. I found this sketch challenge over at http://www.iheart2stamp.com/ These gals all work for Verve Stamps and come up with great sketch challenges. Susie at Susie Stamp A Lot (in my sidebar) is another one of these Verve gals that is really inspiring. Okay so here was the sketch:



I pulled out my Halloween stamps and started to get things going. I know, "Halloween already!" Yes, I have followed the craze that you have been seeing on people's blogs. I usually send out Halloween cards to all of my nieces, nephews, Grandmas, Grandpas, etc., so have to get a jump start on my cards. Anyhew, with out further ado, here is my submission:



Stamped and colored some of my Halloween stamps and then found some left-over DSP Creepy Crawly from last year and just started to piece together my card. Found some purple-polka-dot ribbon in my stash and added it. Colored with like a billion different colors, so couldn't tell you the colors I used. Enjoy and aloha!

Gift from Hyon

So as some of you know, I teach Taekwondo and Women's Kickboxing. Hyon (who is in my Pacific Stampers Group and the sweetest person ever) signed her son up and gave me the cutest thank you gift! She made this oragami box with my favorite colors!



Inside were some yummy chocolates and a key finder in pink and brown from Cinnamon Girl (local boutique for you ladies who are not from Hawaii). I was so shocked! What a sweet gesture! She really is the sweetest person and I am so thankful.



FYI, I have some family in-town this weekend and will be out doing the tourist thing, probably won't post until after they leave (Tuesday). Everyone have a wonderful weekend and Labor Day!
