Very long post.....

Well this is gonna be a long post of pics, I not only needed to catch up, but I had a lot of time to spend in my craft room this past weekend, so I went "Nuts"  LOL  I did a little re-organizing & a lot of "inking"
I'll share what I have been doing...if you want deets on any of them please feel free to email me.

Card I made for one of my crafting buddies...

Made this card for my daughters BF's Parents...

Got this idea from Dawn @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60hBONREyfk&feature=channel

I just used different stamp sets.  This was made for my daughters BF's Mother.

These two cards are for 2 of my day care kiddies...

I will post my OCS cards & a Rak I recieved from Risa this weekend, also the Christmas tags I made for my partner....until then, thanks for visiting my blog & Happy Stamping!

Playing "catch up"....long post

Ok, I have been very busy trying to keep up with two hobbies.....yes two!! Jewelry making & paper crafting.
Here's a few pictures of what I have been up to.
First my Christmas tags for Kyoko's tag swap that she has coordinated for us crafters, if interested see here

Used a retired SU set,  (forgot name) also all CS & embossing folder from Stampin Up.

Next is a Wedding Shower card I made for one of my "crafting" buddies Tomi.  She is getting married next month :)  I used the colors of her wedding & finally used my heat gun & embossing powder!!  I haven't touch that stuff in a long time.

I used the set from Stampin Up called "Lifes Special Moments"  All CS & embossing folder from SU.
Okay & then my jewelry making, I have been using sea shells lately, it seems to be popular in Hawaii, then just the beads....

Sorry for the long post, but as you see I have been busy in the craft room!!

Thanks for stopping by.

OCS card

I can safely post my OCS card that I made for my partner Debi. http://craftybuzz.blogspot.com/  If you would like to meet new friends in blog land hop over to Linda's blog & join in on the fun of swapping cards monthly.
Her theme this month was "Summer" but I already had an idea in mind, so I thought it kind of matched???? 
hahaha

I used this sweet TGF image, added some flowers that I got from Michaels (Texas), CS from SU.
If you like using TGF images, hop on over to Tamiko's on line store for these cuties, and if you order over $25, shipping is Free!!
Got to go & work on a Wedding shower card now~ Aloha my friends.

Hugs,
Denise

Bookmarks......and a Beautiful card from Linda.

I spent some time this weekend making paper clip bookmarks for my daughter's BF's sister's & Mother.....

Fast & easy, I also made a matching tablet for his Mom.

Front

Back ~ I personalized each one.

Tablet I made to match Kelly's bookmark.

My Husband & I Celebrated our Anniversary this past week, and Linda was so thoughtful, she came over to craft & gave us this Beautiful card w/ a GC to one of our favorite local restaurants.

She is always thinking about others, and has a big heart!!

Thanks Linda!

Hope you are all enjoying your Labor Day weekend & got some crafting done :)

Another BD card :)

I have two SIL's who celebrate their BD this month.  I made this card for one of them.  I have so much ribbon & always forget to make use of them, so for this card I left out the flower embellishments I used ribbon & bling instead.  Colored image w/Copics.  I will be sharing my card that I created for the OCS that Linda & Kyoko host each month on my next post, hope you come back! :)

Looking forward to my long 3 day weekend!!

Hugs,

Denise

Christmas tags & BD card

Here is the tags I made for Kyoko's Christmas tag swap that she is hosting.  I used one of my favorite stamps, I love Magnolia's!!

Here is another BD card made with my new Magnolia stamp, same layout as my last post, but different color combo.

Last I'll leave you with a few raks I made for a little craft gathering that I had.

Hope you all have a Great crafty week!!

Hugs,

Denise

Birthday Princess

I finally inked up one of my new Magnolia's.  Made this card for a niece for her BD.  I actually spent a lot of time paper crafting this weekend!  Got all my raks made for a small gathering this Sunday, also made a few more cards.

I will be sharing the Christmas tag next that I made for my partner for Kyoko's Christmas tag swap.

Soldier Ian

I finally got a Soldier Ian stamp for my daughter.  Her BF is in the Army serving in Afghanistan , and she wanted to use this image for his BD card.  I decided, why not make a card for his parents, so this is what I came up with.

inside of card...

I have my 3 Christmas tags to share for Kyoko's Three TS.  Maybe my next post!?

Hope all  of you are having a great week. 

Hugs,

Denise

Playing w/Paper & Beads!

Well, I am still beading, but taking some time to paper craft also.  I made these favor bags using my SU large Sizzix die.  It was a great way to put some of the jewelry in to give as little "just because" gifts!
I also made a card....can you believe it?  I am slowly getting my mojo back!

Hope you are all having a Great Weekend.  I will be going to Teri's class today, so I can learn new ideas.

Hugs~

Denise

BD card

I am slowly getting my "paper craft" mojo back.  I have been spending more time beading!!!  I have 5 birthdays this month, so no excuses I had to make cards.  I made this card for my daughters BF, I used the handsome surfer Ian fromn TGF.  Colored with Copics....Hope to be posting more!

Hope everyone's week has started out well.

Hugs,

Denise

Cute Box

Kelli B. came over to craft with us this past Friday & she taught us how to make these cute boxes.  I amm using this to hold a GC for a Dear Friends BD.

Wishing you all a Beautiful Weekend!!

God Bless~

Tinkerbell & Peter Pan!

A friend asked if I could make tags for your daughter party favors.  The party was Tinkerbell theme, so of course I had FUN making these.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  I had a busy day today, but plan to drive to the North Shore & find shells for my jewelry making.

I WILL be paper crafting this week ;)

Hugs,

Denise

Friday Night RAK

Hi ya'll!!!  I have been busy BEADING!!  Yes, I am so into my jewelry making that I am neglecting my stamps :(.  I did find time to make my RAKS for my Friday Night group of Girls.  We will be making different types of boxes, so I'll have something to post on Sunday :).
I made these quick box/bags using DSP & CS from SU.  Made flowers using the Scallop punch also from SU.  I love making paper flowers, I find it relaxing. Of course I also used my Nesties :)
Wishing you all a Great weekend, and I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday!!  Had a rough few weeks, been SUPER BUSY with a lot of things.  I need to learn how to slow down a bit, I am getting old....hahahaha

Hugs my Friends~

Father's Day Card

Ok, three days before we left for Texas I remember that we would be there for Father's Day, so I had to whip up a Father's Day card!  Of course Mr. Edwin is always a cute image to use.  So here is my card~

Gotta have my buttons!  <3

It's Me, I'm back!

Ok, so Life got in the way of my blog.....LOL  I have so much to share but not enough time.  I will try to be a little better in posting.

Here is a Grad card my sister needed, like in about 15 minutes notice!!  O Boy, what to do???  Well this is what I did.  (she wanted it pink)

Grad Anya, and a paper flower that I had made a few days prior, & Viola got the card made for her ASAP :)

Hope you are all having a great week!

TGF images....Cute!

I got a few TGF stamps & finally INKED some of them up!!  I keep ordering because I just need to have it, then it sits in my basket...I know a lot of you are the same way :)

This first card is a Sweet TGF image I got from Tamikos.   http://tamikos.blogspot.com/ 

 I did some paper piecing, colored the rest with my Copics.   I made this for my hubby's co-worker that had surgery a few weeks ago.

Nesties, Copics,SU CS & oval punches were used to make this card.

I won't have much more to post soon, as I am winding down & getting ready for my vacation to Texas!  :)

Thanks for stopping by my friends.

Hugs

Batter Up!!

I always have a hard time making masculine/boy cards, but with Batter Up Ian it is much easier :-)

I did the paper piecing for his cap, easier then coloring....LOL   Check out Tamiko's for the latest stamps from TGF.

I used my Nestie to make this card I cased the idea from Donna (Three Umbrellas)

Thanks for stopping by, have a Wonderful week!
Hugs,
Denise

Playing catch up!

Sorry I was a little MIA, but been so busy lately.  So I have a lot to share on this post.

It's that time of the year again, Graduations!!  Here is 2 cards that I made for 2 of my friends sons.  One graduated from Kaiser tonight, and the other will graduate from Kalaheo next week.

I made a set of things in my nieces favorite colors to keep on her desk at work.

Her BD card.  Miss Hello Kitty!

Hope you all have a Wonderful weekend!

Obsessed with the Flowers!

Here's a few flowers I made the other night using DP from my scrap basket.  It was relaxing making them. One of my blogging/crafty friends said she tried one but was not happy at how it came out, so I decided to mail these to her to make use of.  It was a great way to make use of my scraps, I always have too much of that!

I made these with the same DP, but by sponging them with different color inks, it gave each their own look.

I used some Dazzling diamonds on this one.  I liked the way it came out!

Hope she likes them all. "Surprise" :)

Hugs,

Denise
