Aloha from Hawaii

Forgive me for no photos.... I left so fast I forgot my cable To upload my pictures with! You'll have to wait till later in March wHen I return!
I have been here helping my daughter-in-law who broke her ankle. She is finally able to use A walking boot to get around. So that makes Us all happy! I have had the opportunity to be with Ayden and Connor so that has been wonderful! I have played more Wii than in a long time!
I can't tell you how beautiful the scenery is. So many coconuts in the trees. Beaches are fabulous! If you have never been tell your hubby's you want to go! This is my third trip and I tell you it is never regretted to see Hawaii.
I have missed making cards though I did luck upon cheap ribbon here. Yea so bought several
Rolls. I was able to find it for 50 and 100 yards on the spools for $4. How great is that! So I was happy!
I have been lucky to win a few candy giveaways. Yea! That has been exciting and made up for not getting to craft.

Pictures will be uploaded When I return.

Happy Birthday Cynthia

A fun happy birthday card for a friend with an upcoming February birthday.  She shares her birthday with my grandson, Kirin.  I colored Tilda with Copics and then shaded some with Prismacolor pencils.  Prima flowers were used.  TPC Studio pp was used called Mediterranean Summer line - Teal Geo Circles.
I used a little calendar page on this one, highlighting with chalks the date of her birthday.  Border punch is my Martha Stewart.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

I have two cards for  VALENTINES today.  I saw a card and now not sure where similar to these.  And thought it was adorable. So decided to do a LIFT and make some FAST Valentine cards.  I love having a splash of color.  The first card --- I made the paper flower!  :=)
The papers are from my scrapbin so not sure on brands.  Sentiment is computer generated.  Fun cards!

My Copic Storage

                    


I lucked out one day when a local LSS was shutting down for the last day.  They had these holders for sale.  I thought wow I could put Copics in them.  I paid $3 for each one.  So far they've worked out great.  I have empty room still left up top.  So for now it works great for me.

BE MINE CUTIE

Well, 2 Valentine cards made now and I still have a few more weeks to finish the others up.  This is a precious little Tilda and the hearts on her makes her a GREAT Valentine image to use.  I used not your typical Valentine colors for this one.  The pp background is by Bo-Bunny Press called Winter Whisper Mist.  My dotted paper is by Basic Grey from their Lemonade line called Strawberry Patch.
The sentiment stamp is a $1 stamp that is old from Michaels.  The cute little hearts at the top was by American Girl.  I love picking up little embellishments off this aisle at Michaels.  I removed the smalled 2 hearts and cut more in the RED/PINK colors to match the card better.  Grosgrain Ribbon is by the Ribbon Boutique.  It is a SOFT grosgrain and easy to tie and makes a pretty bow.  The cute little border is by a MS punch.  Flowers are from Prima.
Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.  Gosh Monday is going to be coming around WAY TOO FAST!
hugs to you all....

This card is a romantic Tilda!  For the first time I TRIED paper piecing my image.  I was told at Hobby Lobby that I could use E6000 Adhesive between the layers to achieve this look. WRONG..   After it had dried on it's own, the image had just melted down into the bottom layer!  whine....  I was hoping it would have gave it a little lift.  I think some use a Silicon, but I am not sure what one or where to buy.

I will have to research some more.  The sentiment came from Michael's $1 bin.  This was the last of this paper I have hoarded for about 5 years!  It is gorgeous.  I'm not even sure who the paper company is anymore.  And this is the last of this pretty ribbon.  Chipboard is by K &Company.  Flowers are by Prima.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Love  your visits!
