HAPPY EASTER!

 My sweet and talented friend, Joy made these cute pouches with the new CC images!  I just love how she colored the images.  She inspired to make a card for a friend who is battling cancer.

I wish you all a Happy, happy Easter!

A Craft!

 

 WOW!  It's been a LONG time!  I sure do miss surfing the blogs and borrowing everyone's creations.  So, of course, I'll start off this year with a cute, cute, hand sanitizer holder that I, of course, "jacked" from another.  I needed an easy craft to do for DD1's school club.  My friend, Phyllis, who is always talking crafts showed me this cute, cute holder from a make & take at Cute Stuff, here.  You need to check out this craft store!  The owner, Lianne is really talented and has really got some "cute stuff!"  Thanks, Phyllis & Lianne!

August C.A.T.S

 

  My August C.A.T.S. partner this month is none other than Wonder Woman aka Brenda from Sweet As a Gumdrop! I dubbed Brenda "Wonder Woman" because she is a mom of 4, has a day care and manages to stay calm and get everything plus more completed!  She's my idol!

Her card and tag are awesome! She even taught me how to make her card.  It's a recessed window panel.  So cool!  So Brenda to come up with something so awesome!  On top of her creative works, she even gave me RAK!  Thanks, WW!

My thoughts and prayers are with those on the East Coast who are weathering out the storm.  Stay safe!
Aloha no,

And Another

Whew!  I think I'm winding down in the birthday cards.  Maybe just a few more to go.  This one was made for Teri, the sweetest gal, who does not look any older than the 21yrs that was celebrated!
Made little tiny favors that held a couple of Godiva chocolates.  Got the idea from somewhere in blog land, the site is in a fog right now, I can't remember.

Wini also made these wonderful creations!  She puts so much effort into her projects!  Isn't this the cutest Hello Kitty?!

Have a wonderful week!  Loving these trade winds!
Aloha no,

..And Still More Birthdays

 

Here's another birthday card to share with you.  The copy cat queen (me!) strikes again!  I totally got this idea from Mama, she's got TONS of ideas! Check out her blog, here.
I used Kiyomi, an image from Sister Stamps, check out their stamps, here.  They're coming out with new images soon.  Here's a close up of Kiyomi, all glimmered up!

Enjoy the last days of summer!
Aloha no,

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays

whoa! I've had quite a few birthdays this month.  Guess whenever the weather starts getting colder, people stay indoors more and keep themselves busy....hmmm...plenty summer babies! Enough said.  On to the cards!
Here, I used one of my favorite techniques.  First used, here.  It sure does speed up the card making process!

This one is a collaboration between myself and DD1.  She has the eye for putting together cards, so I just color and she puts it all together.  She's quite clever.

*Edit:  Head on over to Amy's blog, here, she's got some cute Fairwee images coming out soon!  They are adorable!
Enjoy Summer!
