Nov. OCS card

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....

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.

Thanks for stopping by =)

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!

Hello blogger!

and I'm honored that she like my creations.

Here is the front of the card and
supplies used:
Stamps: Occasional Quotes, Blissful Bride
Ink: Black
Paper: SU Whisper white CS, SU Lovely Lilac CS, SU Silver CS
and Shimmer SEI paper
Accessories: Manhattan Flower texture impressions,
Dazzling diamond glitter and Top note die

And here is the inside of the card.

Tamiko's Monthly Challenge

Hello! This is my very first time entering a challenge and this is what I came up with. The challenge for this month is to alter a Greeting Farm image (combine 2 different images or alter eyes/hair on an image) and use it on a card or 3D project! So I altered her eyes and lips. Here's a picture of the Greeting Farm images that I used.



Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great work week...

Birthday Cards and a Retirement Card

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!!!

Happy Father's Day

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.

Thanks for stopping by.........Happy Father's Day!!!!

Another Easel Card

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. I did not take a picture of the tab note itself but I made it double sided for more space writing.

Hope your having a wonderful weekend.

Easel Birthday Card

It's a late post for me today,
I'm sharing my 2nd easel card that I made so far,
the first one was from Teri Suzuki's class (big ideas from a little girl).
Then I made this for a friend of mine
that just had a birthday and we celebrated it at Assaggio.
I used the girl image from C & C Design
and I paper pierced her dress
and the gift that she's holding with the Stampin' UP
DSP paper that I also used for the background.
I also created a pocket on the front of the card
where I can write my birthday wish
for her and added a tab for easy pull out.
I hope she liked it.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving very sweet comments,
it's truly appreciated.
