Nov. OCS card

2010-12-04T00:45:00.002-10:00

Hello everyone! I can't believe that it's already
December and a few more weeks until Christmas.
And this card shows how I feel about it,
I made this for Debi, my partner for OCS card.
I hope she likes it. I also received her
beautiful shaker card that I will post later.
Be sure to check back.

This is the side front of the card, I guess you
can call it a gift card holder because

...once opened, you can insert any gift
(gift card, money, etc.) you desire.
I love this layout from
Andrea Walford because it can be used
on pretty much all occasions and I
get to use all my beautiful paper.
Have a nice day! =)

Birthday Card for my niece....

2010-11-27T23:24:00.002-10:00

Hello everyone,
Hope you guys are having an awesome weekend.
I know I am because my family and I just watched
the movie Tangled and we loved it, it was great.
Anyway,
just wanted to share this card I made
for my very first niece who turned 12,
my how time flies so fast.
I still remember when she was a baby.

For her card, I used one of the Anya images which I love
and colored her with copics markers.
I also used a retired DSP and window punch
from Stampin UP.
And of course, I have to use bling, bling.

Birthday card for Sis!

Hello there,
Happy Halloween to all of you.
Hope everyone had a good time trick or treating.
My kids sure did and we had a blast going door to door.

Anyway, I wanted to share this card that I made for my younger sister.
She likes pink so I made her card in pink.
I used one of the greeting farm stamp and used copics to color her.
I also used two punches from SU which is the scallop border punch and flower punch.
Pretty in pink card stock was also used and the background paper is one of the paper that I collected over the years and can't tell you which brand it is (sorry).

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Birthday Cards and a Retirement Card

2010-09-25T23:56:00.002-10:00

Wow, here's my second post for tonight.
Here are some cards that I've created over the months that I delayed in posting. This first card is I think a cute one. I'm sorry but I don't have the supply list for all my creations because I'm creating at night while my kids are asleep and my baby wakes up when I'm not next to him, maybe someday....

Here's a simple retirement card that I made and experimented with flowers.

A simple birthday wish card....

And a birthday card for my nephew. My brother is a Lakers fan so I incorporated the Lakers colors and placed my nephews picture on top for a personalize effect. I love it!

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend!!!

Hi everyone, besides from making cards, I'm also busy with three wonderful kids and I wanted to share these pictures with you.

We took Daddy to Pineapple room for Father's Day brunch and we enjoyed ourselves. We did not take a picture at the restaurant because we (well I) forgot the camera. But I wanted to create a memory of this day so I made everyone pose for the camera when we got home. (he he)

I cheated on this one because I have the card made at shutterfly and I'm so glad it turned out nice. This will be in my hubby's locker at work.

Well that's it for today, I'll see you soon hopefully with some of my card creations.

Hello Everyone, here's another easel card that I made for my co-workers bridal shower. Her color was yellow and charcoal gray and I think they match beautifully. On the first picture you can see the pull out tab note on the bottom of the card so all of my co-workers can all write something for the bride to be.

Random Cards

2009-04-10T22:53:00.003-10:00

Hello Everyone! I'm sorry if I haven't been blogging lately, it's just that I've been a busy bee. For example, these cards are made to order for my friend. This first card is for her Grandpa's Birthday.

And this next card that I "CASED" from Andrea Walford is for her, I think she said, Aunt and Uncle that are in the hospital. I hope this card will bring a smile in their faces.

And this last card is for her 7 y.o. son's birthday and she particularly said that he likes "Narutu". This is so funny because I have 2 girls and I'm not familiar with this character and so I had to google the name and I found this image and printed it.(I know I cheated) But I like how it turned out. I embossed the happy birthday and his name with white embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by and may you have a nice Easter. =)

Anniversary Card

2009-03-30T11:58:00.004-10:00

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to share the card I made for my other half. It was our anniversary yesterday and this is the card I gave him. I chose this color because this was our color theme at our wedding and we love precious moments. I also got this card idea from Stampin' Up.

And this is how it looks like inside when I slide the top half.

And here's a close look. I used the SU rub on but I messed up on the word "YOU" so I had to improvise.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Monday.....=)

Embrace Life Card

2009-03-25T21:26:00.002-10:00

Happy Hump Day everyone! I just wanted to share this card that I made for my co-worker. Her sister just pass away and I wanted to make this card for her and her family. I used Embrace Life stamp, Afternoon Tea DSP, Black and Vanilla CS from SU.

In this picture you can see that I used the pink rhinestone in the middle of the flower. And I colored the flower with Sage Shadow and Pretty Pink marker.
Thank you for stopping by and have a great rest of the weekdays!!!

Forgot to mention.....

2009-03-23T21:48:00.003-10:00

Hi there! I just wanted to thank everyone for leaving a wonderful comments. When I was posting my invitation card, it was very late and I was very tired and I forgot to mention that I got the idea from my favorite teacher TERI (big ideas from a little girl). Sorry =( Teri for not mentioning it earlier. I would not make such beautiful card if it weren't for her monthly classes.
Also, I got more HK dies from J's and I will be posting more of them later. Thank you for stopping by.....=)

Invitation Card

2009-03-21T22:33:00.003-10:00

Hope you had a wonderful Saturday! Anyway, I just wanted to share this card that I'm helping my friend make. She wanted a simple invitation card. I used the Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp (which is one of my favorite) and the Introducing Stamp. I also used the heart shape bling on top of the ribbon which is hard to see here. She wanted the color pink and brown which seems to be popular right now. I don't blame her because it's a very cute combination and I call it the ROXY color.

And here is the inside of the card. I used the chocolate chip and regal rose ink.

Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments.

Wedding Card

2009-03-19T16:02:00.004-10:00

Hello Everyone! I made this card for my Mother-in-law who is going to a wedding this Saturday. The color theme is lavender so I used the SU lovely lilac and regal rose CS. Then I used cuttlebug dots for the background and stamped the image on the pearl white CS. I also used the square steps corner pocket punch. The stamps I used are Warmest Regards and Happily Ever After from SU.

I also used pearl on top of the cake and on all four corner of the regal rose CS. Then I sprinkle the cake and corner pocket with glitter to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such sweets comments. I really appreciate it, makes me smile reading them.

Birthday Card for Lisa

2009-03-17T21:25:00.004-10:00

I just wanted to share this card with you. I must tell you that I got the inspiration for this card from our Stampin' Success issue. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to make it for my friend because her birthday landed on St. Patrick Day (today). She is one of my dearest friend and I hope she will love and cherish it even though she is not a crafter like us. I picked these colors because she loves four leaf Glover(green)and the color pink and brown.

And this is the inside of the card. I just love how everything turned out, from the front cover to the inside of the card.

Hope you had a wonderful St. Paddy's Day.....Thanks for stopping by.=)

2009-03-10T22:21:00.002-10:00

Happy Tuesday Everyone! I made this card for Teri as a thank you for the adorable mini clipboard that she had given me. I hope she liked it. I had fun putting kitty together although I couldn't keep my kids from touching her while she was in pieces. So I made extra for them to play with and put together themselves. It was so much fun....I will definitely make more now that I just purchased a bunch from J's. Thanks for looking.

Stampin' Up Regional in Hawaii

2009-02-22T23:06:00.013-10:00

Hello Everyone!!! I just wanted to share my very first experience at the Stampin' Up Regional with you. When I received this name tag, I was very excited, I did not know what to expect. Well all that waiting is over because I attended my first seminar which was held this past Saturday at the Convention Center. And let me tell you, it was amazing. I learned so much from this seminar, I even met and took a picture with Shelli Gardner who is the Co founder of Stampin' Up. It was more fun when you are with your friends. Along with learning, we also had done some make and take cards and they are fabulous. Someday, I will attend the annual convention in Utah, someday..... Take a look at some pictures I took with my friends and Shelli, along with a few cards that we made.
This is me with Shelli Gardner. WOW!! (I still can't believe it)

Here I am again with Shelli and my up line Joyce Jensen who I might add is very talented.

Here with Teri Suzuki, she is the best teacher ever....=)

And here with Shelli and my down line Penny Biniek and our friend Aileen Rafael.

And just a few of the cards that we made.

For those of you who are in these pictures, I hope you don't mind me posting it, please let me know by leaving a comment.
Thanks for stopping by......

Lifetime of Love2

2009-02-17T22:08:00.002-10:00

Happy belated President's Day everyone. Hope everything went well on Monday except for the rain in the afternoon. I was actually at my Uncle's house at Pearlridge celebrating my daughter's birthday when it poured rain on us. It was okay because we had just finished and was just cleaning up and getting ready to open her gifts inside the house. I told my daughter that it was a blessing in disguised. Anyway, back to crafting, I wanted to post this wedding card that I made for my friend/co-worker who got married almost a year now. I love how it turned out. I love making wedding card as you will see later on. I will be posting a few more next time. Thanks for looking.....

2009-02-14T21:03:00.002-10:00

Happy Valentines everybody. For todays post, I am not posting a valentine card but a wedding card that I made for my boss. She had asked me to make a wedding card because she couldn't find anything at the store that really stood out. When I heard that I felt honored because she had seen some of my cards and she was impressed. I was so thrilled to make one for her and I wanted to leave a lasting impression and so I created this. What do you think?

Lifetime of Love & All the Best

2009-02-12T21:23:00.005-10:00

Hello everyone! Just wanted to show you two different cards with the same layout and with different color scheme and a different word stamp used. On this card, I used light blue cs as my base with light pink cs as background.

Here, I used metallic silver card stock as my base along with metallic red cs. Well, that is it for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Kitty Gift (Pull Out Treat)

2009-02-09T21:20:00.005-10:00

Hello Everyone, here is my attempt to make a pull out treat for my daughter's classmate. Her name is Carys and she turned 5 this month. As you can see, I used the hello kitty die (my first time using it) and used a Valentine paper from American Crafts (got it on sale at Ben Franklin) as background. I put glitter on the word Happy Birthday and personalized it by adding her name. And I think it's so cute, I want to keep it but instead I took a picture of it and posted it so all of you can see it. Thank you Teri for teaching me, I love going to her class, her class inpires me to create. To see tutorial on this, please visit Teri's blog.

Here is the gift that is hiding inside the box, a hello kitty stamping pens. My daughter picked it out for her classmate. She(my daughter) also told me that she would like one for her birthday as well which is coming up this Thursday. She will turn 5 too. Well that is it for now, thank you for visiting. Have a nice day!!!

Reason to Smile

2009-02-05T22:31:00.005-10:00

A month ago when I was at Teri's class (big ideas fromalittle girl), she told us (Penny and I) that she will be having a one card swap and that she will e-mail us of who we will be partner with. At first I thought, do I really want to do this and then I thought well it's only going to be one card so I(we) said "YES". And here is what I came up with. I used the Reason to Smile stamp set from SU.

In this picture, you can see that I used rhinestone and glitter on top of the butterfly. I love how it turned out. I hope the person receiving this likes it too. Lets cross out finger. Thanks for looking. =)

January Class

2009-02-04T21:03:00.018-10:00

Hello everyone! hope all of you are doing a wonderful day. I just wanted to show some pictures of some artwork that we did for our January Class that was held at my friends house (Penny). I learned this from Teri Suzuki' class which I always try to attend. We used 4 CD holder and convert them into a box. We made a base to place it on which we decorated with a ribbon. As you can see from this pictures, I made it as a tissue holder. The January class theme is about Valentine.

Here are a few more scrapbook layout that we did to place inside the CD holder.

Sorry some picture came out blurry.

And these are the cards that was included in that class. If you have seen the card on the bottom before is because I copied them off the Stampin' Up website. I love how everything fit together so I did not want to change anything.

The next few picture are some of my friends that attends my class regularly. They try to show off their work to the camera.

And lastly, this is me with Penny. I just want to thank Penny for everything, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be blogging right now. Phew, sorry for the long blog, I will try to make it short next time. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Thank you! Now it's time for me to go to sleep. Good Night!

2009-01-28T22:28:00.002-10:00

Baby Shower Favor

2009-01-28T21:56:00.002-10:00

I made this cute little favor bags for my friend Quinn who now gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. And I want to acknowledge Joyce for giving me the idea and also teaching me how to make this. I used the DP paper from Stampin' Up which I truly adore. I must tell you, "I LOVE PAPER", I can never have enough of it. So whenever Stampin' Up have a new line of paper, I will get them and not just one but two. Am I crazy or what? Anyway, thanks for looking and see you later.
