Inktegrity Images by Joni

I have a lot to share, but will spread it out throughout the week. First of all I want to THANK all of you for the prayers for my dear BIL. He is still holding on & told his oncologist today "They say I'm sick & dying, but I don't feel it" It's the power of God! Keep up the prayers my dear friends.

I want to share these cards I made this weekend using digi images by Joni over at Inktegrity. Check out her blog & see all the cute creations using her images. I am making a set of thank you baby cards for my niece with this sweet baby boy image, I'll post the rest at a later time. I also love this cute ladybug image.

This All Star image is darling. I put some stickles on the stars to give it some bling!

I went to my first Glama Gurl meeting today, had Lot's of fun. Hope you all had a great & Fun weekend. Come back to see the awesome raks I have gotten over the past week from such sweet & thoughtful ladies.

God Bless you all...Hugs~ Denise

Long Post.....

As some of you know from a previous post, my Brother in law had surgery for a brain tumor a few weeks ago, he did well & went home in 5 days, but the results of the tumor was a Glioblastoma, a very aggressive type of cancer, he was suppose to start Chemo & radiation today, but a week ago he started having headaches & was flown to Baylor/Dallas (that's where surgery was) and the small piece of the tumor that they could not get out has grown 3 times in size in the 3 weeks! He has a lot of swelling in his brain & cannot receive therapy. They have flown him to Mount Vernon (Texas) and is now in Hospice. It is 20 minutes from their home in Scroggins. We are devastated & cry daily, but also pray!! I have made arrangements for my husband to fly back home to give his sister some support, and hopefully Paul will still be able to recognize him in 2 weeks. I talked to him today & he seemed in good spirits & even told me " I have to get better so I can come to Hawaii & see you folks again" talk about breaking my heart....

I made this card to send to my sis in law, to let her know we are there for her, and to send her some love & hugs. I used a Tilda image I got from Jodi. The next card is also made with a Tilda image that I got from Cami, and the idea of her sitting in the flowers was from Jodi. She showed me this idea this weekend. I used different colors to make it look cheerful. Cut the layer pieces with my nesties, and embossed with Cuttle bug folders, I also used the larger dew drops that I got from Jen at Little C's. Took a side profile pic so that you can see the stickles on her wings.

These next 2 cards are made with Nancy Kubo images.

I have a "play date" in a few weeks & need to have 2 cards for a swap that Cami will put together for us. These were fast & easy to make, I hope the recipient likes them

I told you this was a long post! I ask that you keep my Sister in law & Brother in law in your prayers. I have been crafting a lot to keep my mind off things & relieve stress, but it's been Tough!

Sweetie

Joni from Inktegrity has the cutest digi images. She has this one for free that I pick up from her blog. I love watermelon, so when I saw this image I had to create with it. Joni just came out with new sports images, hop on over to her blog and check them out! I will be creating with one of her "All Star" images next. The sentiment stamp is from Dandelion Designs.

Beautiful flowers are from Roses on Paper.

Blog candy win, OCS & raks...

This is my beautiful card from Kim who was my partner for this months OCS that Teri organizes. She also included all these images & Tinkerbell goodies.

Won this awesome blog candy from Island Scrapbooking! I was so excited! I got to visit the store when I went to Hilo a few months back. They have all the goodies you can possibly want. Even Copics!!













I got this pretty card & adorbale Tilda images from sweet Cami. She had made favors using this image, I asked her about it, and she was so thoughtful to send some to me. Thanks Cami!! See you soon.

A few Thank You cards....

I swear I am ADDH! I have like three projects going on at once. At least I finished some of my thank you cards. Here are 4 of them, I have 2 more to post, and I am also working on goodies for the Glama Gurlz meeting at the end of the month. But right now I have 5 unfinished cards sitting on my desk! At least they are all prepped....am I the only one like this? I need to start finishing off one project at a time. These cards are Thank You cards that I made for some of my blogging sisters, I have been blessed with new friends through blogland.
I used images that we swapped at the last "play date" we had at my house last month. I used SU paper/card stock, some buttons & bling from WalMart, and the pretty flowers from Roses on Paper. I have a few more to post & also will be sharing a few raks & my card I received from my partner for Teri's monthly OCS.

Student of the Week

Before you see her "Student of the Week" board, I want to share this picture that we couldn't fit onto the poster board, so I made a little frame like so that she can hang it in her room.

Helped my GF make a poster board for her daughter who just started kindergarden. It was for a Student of the Week. We used pink, black & white. We let Katie place the stickers on.

Anniversary Card

I'll be celebrating my wedding anniversary at the end of the month, so I decided to work on a card for my husband early instead of waiting for the last minute! My favorite color way back then was red, so my colors were red & white w/some black. So that is why I made the card in these colors. I used this cute TGF image I  I used all SU card stock, cuttlebug embossing folder, nesties & colored image with copics. Added some pearls to the roses in her hair, and used the pretty crochet flower that I got from Elena.

I am so tired, had a very fun day with the local crafters at Teri's social. Wow, what a bunch of awesome, talented ladies....they are are so sweet & full of the Aloha Spirit.

OCS card & a BD gift

Here is a gift card holder I made using a CD case, got the idea from Teri's 12/28/08 post. I made this for my sister who will be celebrating her BD on the 15th. I should of took a closer picture, I added stickles to her bracelet & necklace, so it looks like diamonds!

insideHere is the card I made for Teri's OCS, my partner was Kim Y. Hope she liked it.

I used a stamp called "Sing" from TGF, also added the flowers on both projects that I got from Roses on Paper, Cardstock~SU ,colored with Copics.

Come back tomorrow to see a few raks that I got over the weekend.
All you local sisters, hope you are all prepared for the Tropical Storm, be safe!!!
Hugs~
Denise

Long post...finally Finished the cards!!

I finally finished the rest of the 50 cards!! My neighbor loves them all, thank goodness. I love this image from TGF, it's called "Sing", but I call her "ukulele girl". I used nothing but scraps for the front of the cards....my stash has finally gone down. All colored card stock is from Stampin Up. Printed paper was assorted ones from the stash. Hope you enjoy looking at these. I will post the card that I made for my partner for Teri's OCS next, and a beautiful thank you card that I received today.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! Take care, God Bless & Hugs to you all.

Beautiful Rak

The past 2 weeks haven't been the greatest, we had 3 deaths happen in 10 days. One was a complete "shock", as the other 2 we knew it was just a matter of time, they were both in Hospice. I have been to 2 funerals in the past 3 days. The other will be in the mainland, so I won't be attending that one. Of course anyone would be feeling sad at this point, especially the one that came as a complete shock to the family. Went to check the mail yesterday and low & behold a great Surprise that sure did put a HUGE smile on my face! A beautiful, all in pink ,RAK from the sweet Camille. It made my day, and helped to lift my spirits up a bit. It was great timing Cami. Thanks so much, I absolutely love it all.
Please always tell your parents, children & other loved ones that you love them every chance you get. Life is so precious & can be so short!! Love you all ~ Denise


Look at all these amazing Beautiful Creations that Cami made! WOW, I will have fun with them all.

Thank you for all the well wishes for my bro-in-law who had surgery, he is doing fine, and even went to church on Sunday!!

Rak & some of the 50 cards!

Look at this Beautiful card I received from Risa, her coloring is just amazing!!Here is the start of the 50 cards I have to make for my neighbor. I used TGF farm stamp "Ukulele" girl because she wanted it to be a Hawaiian theme, and wanted the words "Aloha from Hawaii" which I did on the computer. I was able to use a LOT of my scraps, so that was a plus. I made them all a little different. I will try to finish the rest this weekend.

Hope everyone is having a great week....Happy Stamping my Dear Friends.
