February OCS

Wow, I can't believe this is the last week of February already! Where does all the precious time go?? Anyways, I just wanted to share the cards for the this month's OCS! I was happy to be partnered with Denise! I've been super busy lately...with crafts! hehe. I'll show them next week when it's all done! Here's my Magnolia card...I actually got this image from Denise...

And here's Denise's card...super cute!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Mini Calendar

I got carried away last year buying a lot of 2010 calendars, then I kinda got stuck with them! Mostly because I ran out of time to make all of them! :( One day hopefully I can make stuff really quick! :) I got started on one of the calendars and decided to make it for Denise! I was hoping it would cheer her up since she's been through a lot lately! Plus, she was also my partner for this month's OCS! I'll post those later. Here is my calendar...kinda plain, still working on creativeness!

This is what it looks like on the stand! TFL!

My 1st Cricut Project!

Since my friend loves Hello Kitty I decided to make her a gift bag for birthday using my HK Cricut cartridge. And wow, even though the machine cuts out the pieces, it was still a lot of work! hehe. plus I messed up a little on the words but I thought it still came out okay for my first time. But for those that are good with the cricut, i give you credit even though it may seem easy!

Birthday Cards!

2 of my good friends' birthdays are this month so I made cards since I had some time. Funny, one is on the 20th and the next day on the 21st. Anyways, I used sketches from a magazine I got in Cali called Cardmaking and papercrafts. It is from the UK. I wanted to subscribe to them but they only send to UK and some other European countries! oh well I guess I just have to buy them...I love all their examples and they always have a free gift! Here's what I got...








Have a great weekend!

Valentine's Cards

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day this year! This is my first year making vday cards so I was excited...but I also didn't have too much time since I went on my trip so I only got to make a few. I'm really loving the easel cards even though I still get stuck on how to decorate the bottom portion. Anyways, here's what I got! TFL!

Oriental 2-year planners

Wow, I haven't posted in awhile! Just got back from Disneyland and glad to be back in Hawaii weather! :) It wasn't super cold but cold enough and one day it poured for half the day! Looks like I missed out seeing a lot of great creations from everyone! I had some extra 2-year pocket planners so I decided to decorate them and give away before it's too late! I decided to make them all oriental because I like the designs and I didn't get to use them yet.
