7 things about myself

1. I love to cook and bake, but I don't do it very often b/c I live by myself and I don't like to eat the same food for weeks.

2. I like the Twilight series too

3. My favorite movie theater snack is popcorn and mochi crunch- but I refuse to pay $2 for a small bag of mochi crunch so when I can, I go to price busters first and then buy a big bag and a bottled water and sneak it into the theater. Shh! don't out me ;)

4. I can work in small crowded, cluttered spaces as long as I can find a clean surface

5. I have numerous relatives on my dad's side (there are about 150+ relatives)

6. I am making my cousin's guest book for his wedding coming up in August- but I'm putting it off until the last minute b/c I'm running out of ideas

7. This is too hard to think of 7 things about myself. ;P

get well wishes

Hi-
My aunty fell down last week and fractured her left knee. I decided to make her a get well card and also a note card set. She had surgery on Saturday and hopefully she's on the mend. We all have to travel to Oregon for her son's wedding in August so we're hoping and praying that she will heal well and also not develop any DVT's :(

We're very similar in that whenever we fall down or injure ourselves, after feeling the pain of course, we end up cracking up hysterically (better than crying I guess)....so when I called to see how she was, I asked her "How you doing Humpty Dumpty?" and of course she started laughing :)

I used a Dustin Pike design and then added glossy accents to the horns/thingy's on his spine. I colored w/copics- getting better at blending (IMO). I usually don't decorate the inside of my cards, but I did this time- I used cut out flowers that I made using my cricut and then layered it onto the flower on the DP. The note card box is one I made when I was practicing making my Aloha RAK; I still have to tweak the box. But at least this one is bigger and doesn't smoosh the envelopes. LOL! I hope she likes the card and notecard set. TFL.

My nephew's birthday

Hello everyone-
Hope you had a nice weekend- it's already Sunday :( Anyway, my nephew turned 6 on Tuesday and his birthday party is today at Dave and Buster's. He loooooves Transformers- saw the new movie twice. I decided to not only buy him Transformers but also make him this card. I used the stair step fold and downloaded some characters. I applied glossy accents to make them look more (machine like). The only bummer is that when I shrank them down, it made their heads teeny tiny- but I'm sure he'll get the gist of it and can identify who they are. Thanks for looking and have a great week!

My Aloha RAK to Sharon

Hi-
I got paired w/ Sharon in California- I wanted to make the same type of notecard holder that Gail had made for me. However, I don't own a score-pal yet, so I had to kind of figure out the measurements myself (this is very dangerous as I am really bad at math). In any case, it came out decently, however I forgot to take into consideration the envelope size so it's kinda smooshed in there. But it still looks good ( I think). I will 1) BUY A SCORPAL ASAP 2)keep practicing so I can get better. I used hero arts stamps for the notecards and then colored them w/ my copics and stickles. The paper is from Manle's store (Pineapple cove). I hope Sharon likes the gift (I included stamps and stamped images too). For the card I cut out some of the flowers and popped them up to add dimension to the card.

Have a nice weekend!

Baby shower card and gifts I made

Hi~ My friend and co-worker will be having a baby girl in August, we threw her a surprise baby shower today (she suspected something of course) and this is the card I made for everyone in the office to sign. I colored the bear w/ my copics (still working on my shading) and you probably can't tell but I airbrushed the background that the bear is placed on and the sentiment w/ my copic airbrushing system- still trying to figure that thing out.

I then made these favor boxes- I bought the sizzix die in June, but couldn't post what I made w/ it until now :) She loves Snoopy so I found this stamp @ cute stuff and then embossed the bag w/ the sizzix hello kitty impressions folder. I colored the flowers/butterflies w/ stampin up markers and added stickles.

I made these onesies by using iron on transfers of her favorite characters.
Finally I made this fan fold card for her- the stamps match the wrapping paper I bought. She had a great time and loved all of her gifts. Thanks for looking and it's almost Friday- Hallelujah!

July OCS from Gina and the one I sent her

Hi!
I got this terrific tri-shutter card from Gina! She lives in Michigan and since I live in Hawaii she had to add some Aloha. Thanks for the card Gina- I couldn't wait to post her pic and figured that I'd save time and post my OCS to her. I hope she likes mine!

For my stand up card, I used Fred she Said Emma and sea friends and then I used my copic airbrush system for the background, then I used the cuttlebug bubbles embossing folder (Note to self- emboss the paper first, then airbrush--ha ha at least I learned something!) I used a stencil I made out of the sizzix wave 12" die to airbrush the wave. I actually colored her fin/body w/ copics, and then I tried to add some shimmer by going over it w/ watercolor paint, but it didn't come out so I ended up putting stickles on it for the bling. Some great ideas...don't work out :)
Anyway, thanks for looking and I'll be posting more this week- hopefully :|
