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~

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.
