SHAKE...SHAKE...SHAKE...

...TAG and CARD...

 Happy Tuesday Everyone!  Hope you all enjoyed a long weekend.  I had Monday off as it was Memorial Day!  This is a very short week for me.  I am off to Vegas at the end of this week.  A long and deserved vacation!  I can't wait!!!  Well as you can see I created a shaker tag for a dear friend who will be sworn in on Friday, June 1st @ the Supreme Court.  Congrats Jessica!!!  I attached it to a lei.  Purple is her favorite color...just like mine!  Hope she likes it!

Next card is for a graduate from Kamehameha.  Her party was this past Monday.  I created a shaker card with the same cutie...Cheeky Geeky!  I also created one more, but forgot to take a picture of it, but it was just like this one...only pink :)

I hope I can post one more thing before I leave.  I am making something to give to my family.  We have a family reunion every year in Vegas...that's why we are going!  Thought that I should use my talent and share with my family some handmade goodies!  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a gorgeous week everyone!

Be Blessed,

...MINI POST-IT-NOTES...

 Happy Tuesday Everyone...The month of May is almost gone and we are heading into summer!  I am very busy with trying to get some projects done.  My daughter will be graduating from 6th grade tomorrow 5/30/12 and I decided to make each teacher that Taelyn had from Kindergarten to present and her special counselor who has helped us through the years (especially this year) a special basket of handmade gifts.  I think this is the last of what I will be making...lol!  I wanted to use my small post-it-notes, but I decided to use two of them side by side.  Here's all 8 of them...

 here's how I decorated the cover...I added some flower and ribbon. 

 this is what it looks like once it's open...

So this is the final set...I used all matching DP :) 

 I made a shaker checkbook cover, bind-it-all notes, a credit card holder and the mini post-it-notes.

I hope the teachers enjoy their gifts!  We (my daughter and I) have been truly blessed by Kaneohe Elementary School...the teachers, students and staff have been so kind and we are going to miss them dearly!  Thank you for all the support!  (2005-2012)...here we go to bigger and better experiences!

Have a BEAUTIFUL week!

Be Blessed,

Shaker Fun...

 ...TGF-CHEEKY GEEKY...

Happy Monday everyone!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I sure did!  Here's one more shaker checkbook cover I made for a dear friend.  I decided to use TGF's cheeky geeky again, but I used the one I colored and keep her at the original size.  This one was really colorful and fun to make as well.  I hope she liked it.  I love this one...too cute!

Well...like I promised, I took some pictures at my daughter's May Day...
here is the May Day court...

here's a picture of Kela and Taelyn...they had to dress like the 70s for their performance.

Thanks for stopping by today...have a wonderful week!  My daughter is graduating on Wednesday.  got lots to do before this day comes.  hope I finish them all and then I can share with you!

Shaker Checkbook Covers...

...CHEEKY GEEKY...

Happy Thursday!  My how time flies.  I have been so busy with life that I rarely have time to post!  I wanted to share with you some shaker check book covers that I made for Taelyn's teachers.  I have decided to give each teacher that Taelyn had from kindergarten to sixth grade and her counselor something special to remember her by.   I found some pretty DP and then went from there for the colors to use.  I just bought this cutie from TGF.  Her name is Cheeky Geeky.  Isn't she so cute!  I colored one image and scanned her to my computer, made her a little smaller and then printed them out.  I added my beads, ribbon and some half pearls and I am done!  Here's all of them that I made...

here's a close up of the brown one...

 

here's the orange one...

Taelyn will be graduating from 6th grade soon.  My baby will no longer be a baby!  She's leaving elementary school behind and soon will become a teenager!  Wow!  In my heart she will always be my baby!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend!  Tomorrow is my daughter's May Day program.  Hope to share some pictures from that :)

Till next time...Keep Crafting!

Petite Purse...

...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...

from one mother to another...lol!  I was blessed by a friend who got me the SU die for this purse.  It is so cute and you can make two of these on a 12" x 12" DP.  I got my paper from Ben Franklin.  It's double sided too, so when you open it's pretty inside :)  I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of what it looks like when it's opened.  It's a really small purse, but it could hold a couple pieces of candy.  Here's what one looks like...

Here's the first batch of purses I made.  I will have to make a few more...like 20!  so my total will be about 50-60.  I know...I have to mass produce on certain occasions because of my soccer team, co-workers, friends, family & mom's friends too!

Happy Mother's Day to all you MOTHERS!!! 

Be pampered, loved and blessed today and everyday! 

Our jobs are never ending and we should be treated like royalty every day!

Party Time Lucy...

...BIRTHDAY TIME...

I bought another digi image from CC Designs.  I decided to make it a larger size and use her as the shape of the card.  We (my daughter and I) have a birthday party to go to soon and so I colored her early.  I am the biggest procrastinator when it comes to making cards.  That's my whole problem!  My gifts don't go out on time because I can never finish a card!  *sigh*  I will have to try harder.  lol.  So I don't know if it's easier to color large images or smaller ones...what do you think? 

thanks for sticking around.  I have been crafting here and there, but not as much as I used to.  I guess there is more to life than crafting...huh?  really?  hahaha!  take care and be good to yourself...Till next time!

Be Blessed,

Bunny Lucy...

...PILLOW BOXES...

So I finally got a chance to visit some blogs and I came across Donna...Three Umbrellas and saw this post here. I thought what a cute idea to make your own pillow boxes. It is so easy to make and so I ended up making 70! Yikes! But I made them for co-workers, my co-ed & WISA soccer team, my daughter's teachers and my mom's friends. These I made for my dear friends. I filled them with some goodies and will give them out throughout the week. I love the new digis from CC Design and this one is called: Bunny Lucy. I colored a few of these, then I scanned them to my computer and printed them out. So each one has a cute Easter bunny on it and I didn't have to color each and every one!

these I did individually colored to give to my dear friends. I hope they enjoy it.
Happy Easter everyone. Hope you have a safe and blessed weekend!
I know Easter bunnies and candy eggs are all the fun, but I hope you all know the real reason for this glorious day!!!

...DOUBLE DUTCH CARD...

Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did. I got to get together with dear friends to help celebrate Michelle's 21st birthday and my daughter just celebrated her birthday! What a fun filled weekend. Well, I have a card I want to share with you as I had to make one for my dear sweet friend! I wanted to make a different kind of card and so I checked out youtube and came across this double dutch card. I used the cutest digi image from CC Designs...Butterfly Lucy. One thing I love about digis is that you can make them whatever size you want to. This image is about 5". So much easier to color. I got the DP from Ben Franklin the other night. I added some half pearls, ribbon, flower, stickles and colored her with my copics.

this is what the card looks like once opened...
I thought this was a cute card, something different and so easy to make.

Hope you have a wonderful week! Thanks for stopping by :)
I will have an Easter creation to share with you next.
take care!

...AND EVERYTHING NICE...
Happy Monday Everyone! Hope the weather here has decided to stay sunny. It was an awesome mother nature filled event last week! Will never forget that one for a while. Anywhoo, it gave me a chance to catch up and get my crafting going! I will be mailing out boxes today. I have been trying so hard to catch up and starting getting my mojo back. Well, this card had to be decked out because it's for a dear sweet friend, who amazes and inspires me with her creations all the time. I am always blessed that she shares some of her awesome creations with me. So what to do. I had to look at other layouts and came out with this one. I am happy how this turned out. I used lots of black and pink, flowers, nesties, ribbon and stickles.
I hope she likes this card and the goodies I am sending. I am sending it out so late. I hope she understands! well, it's spring break for my kid here in Hawaii. So traffic should be good. Have a blessed week!

Be Blessed,
