SUNNY STAMPIN' MEETING

We had our first SU! meeting of our group with Jane.  We did more talking and laughing than anything else.  But, that is the beauty of crafting...the friendship!  Above is a little favor that I made.  Got the directions from here.  Super simple to make (I fit 6 Hershey mini bars in them).  This is my swap using the new DSP and new butterfly embosslit from the Occassions Mini, oh and the new satin ribbon (so soft):

 Here are the swaps that I received:  the first one is an easel card & I only realized now that I didn't even take it out of the clear envelope...senior moment...

I so love SU!  Everything coordinates so easily!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hawaiian Time

oof! Can we say "late?" I feel like the holidays came and went without me! Early December, I had participated in a card swap at Teri's. I received the card above which was made by Joy (Tae told me!). It's really pretty IRL, all sparkly and everything. Here's my card - I made the easel card, used PCS images and Smirk DP.These were some of the great make 'n takes that Teri had provided. DD1 made most of them for me while I ate & talked story. Guess it pays to have another craft nut in the ohana.More to share soon!
Aloha no,

Card Swap

For the gathering at Denise's on Sunday, we were to make two cards for a swap. This will justify the "craft day" get together! Cami was in charge and we drew numbers that corresponded to the card. These were the great cards that I got, the first one is by Claudette:This second one is by Nicky: I forgot to take pictures of the cards that I made. I hope that the receivers liked them. The card swap was fun, but, I'll admit there was a bit of pressure given the talented group of ladies involved.
Make it a great day, the choice is yours!

SU! July Swap

My Pacific Stampers SU! swap for July is to incorporate a new stamp set. This isn't quite a new set as it was featured in the Spring Mini catalog, but, I did use the new in-color paper, ink & ribbon. You likely?

I really liked last season's colors, but, as usual SU! just draws you in like bees to honey with their new colors! These colors are Dusty Durango, Bermuda Blue and something Curry. I love their new polka dot ribbons too! SU! is even offering textured cardstock in 8 1/2 x 11!

Thanks for stopping by & for your sweet comments. It sure does brighten up my day!
Happy Stamping!

SU! Swap

Here's a swap that I planned to make for the SU! Pacific Stampers group meeting last Friday. We were supposed to use buttons. I can't figure out what's missing on this card - maybe a mat under the butterfly or a sentiment or ribbon would complete the card.
Oh well, since I wasn't able to attend, I left it as is. Am off to surf the blogs and know that I'll be inspired by someone's creation.

For you Twilight fans, TGF is coming out with a new stamp image - Edward!! Can't wait!

Happy King Kamehameha Day!

Another Swap Card

I made this card for a swap with the Pacific Stampers group. We had to use texture in the design.
I opted for the small dots.
Since I wasn't sure how to use the texture, the card is really simple.



The colors are a bit more muted than I normally like, but, being the "Chinese" person that I am, I had to use up the rest of the Sale-a-bration paper that was lying around.
The flowers are the die cut medium and small sizes. The large one was a little too big. Now to find a use for the big flowers.


Have a sunny week!

Just Another Card

This blogging stuff is really fun. Not only do I get to see and learn from all the great creations that everyone makes, I also get to make new friends
Here's another card that I made for a swap back in March. SU! Good Friend set and Cheep Talk sets are some of my favorites. Thanks for stopping by & sending your aloha! Thanks to Teri for announcing my blog on her blog. I get tons of inspiration from her projects & cards!

SU! Regional February

Here's the card that I made for swaps for the SU! Regional held in Honolulu on February 21st. What a great day that was! What a treat to meet Shelli in person - she's as nice as can be.
All SU! supplies used.
