gifts for administrative professionals day

I know it was last week, but I wanted to post what I made anyway :) I used the sizzix die to make the boxes and hello kitty. I used stickles to color in the black dots for the ladybug shell and the hearts on the antenna. I then added stickles to the centers of each flower. I forgot to add that I made the HKs fuzzy by putting fun flock on them.
Don't mind the extraneous items in the pictures. My craft area is such a mess that I don't have a clear area to shoot pictures- pathetic I know but what can I say- I love to craft and don't mind the clutter. BUT, it is getting to me so I will be cleaning up my spaces this weekend! Take care and thanks for stopping by :)

gifts for UH student nurses

Hello everyone!

As a RN we preceptor UH student nurses each semester. They spend the semester with us getting to experience the public health nursing arena (which basically can include anything). In any case, the 1st 4 pictures are some things I made for my student nurse. I made a Hello Kitty card based on the make and take that I made last week Friday @ Photocraft and then I made a card folder and included 5 greeting cards I made (these greeting cards were made before I seriously started getting into sizzix and card making). The last photo is of a gift card I made for my co-worker's male student nurse. Of course it's more difficult making a masculine or "boy" card, but I was able to find some cute "boy" stamps at cute stuff yesterday as I was killing time before braving the 1 1/2 hour long trip back home (I had to come into town to visit J's 30% off sale--of course ;) Hope you like them!

Christmas Stampin All Year Long week 13 challenge

Hello-
I wanted to participate in this weeks challenge #13 because I love this penny black stamp. It reminds me of something my dog Toby would do.

Designer paper: DCWV
Paper punch: Martha Stewart
I embossed the sentiment w/ copper powder
Applied stickles to the scarf, hat, snowflakes and around the red circle on the sentiment.

Hope I followed the challenge correctly :)

I can't say if I'll participate in every challenge, but I enjoyed this one! Hope you do too!

Make and Take @ Photocraft on 4/24/09

hello-
I just wanted to share the make and take that we did at Photocraft on Friday. Cheri from Sizzix and Cheryl Miyashiro were our instructors. Of course I bought a few things from there afterwards and then I went to J's Knicknacks. Earlier that morning I visited crafts in the city on Bishop street and then after J's I went to Stamps and Memories in Aiea. Since starting to seriously papercraft and blurfing, I've been going to town at least weekly (very different for this country girl)- whoosh! Good thing gas prices came down hee hee!

Anyway on to the post- it's of course another hello kitty card YAY!
