Girl Time with Madden

Hi everyone!  I just came from The Greeting Farm's blog with a post on this altered composition book I made featuring "Madden" and the coordinating cut file.

I needed a note pad to keep track of things and this mini composition book does the job.  Look at how perfectly cut Madden is.  I love that TGF now has coordinating cut files for their images.  Be sure to stop by The Greeting Farm to see more cut files. Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful week!

Fun with Print & Cut Kits

Hi friends!  I'm back with more use from The Greeting Farm's lovely Print & Cut Kits.  So I have a confession to make.  I have a habit of reading more than one book at a time.  mmhmm, that's what I thought. I'm not the only one in that department. (:   What I tend to do is make a bunch of bookmarks.  The simplest way I do this is by just using Project Life cards and adding some cute images to them  And so, that is what I have done here.  These cute images are from The Greeting Farm along with the Berry Sweet print & cut kit.

I also made a scrapbook layout of my DD.  This was from our visit to the Bishop Museum on Oahu during our Summer vacation.

Thanks for stopping by and all the products can be found here.

Love is still in the air

Aloha friends!  For those of you in the States, I sure hope you all had a fun and safe Labor Day weekend.  So, I had the opportunity to post my projects over on The Greeting Farm blog.

I came up with two cards.  In the above photo I used Garden Anya with The Berry Sweet Print and Cut Kit.  The next card, I added Stella along with the Berry Sweet Kit's elements.

And of course this kit is amazing with daily life which i have used to create my Valentine's page for a tea party that my daughter's and I have each year.

The Berry Sweet Kit along with more Print and Cut Kits can be found here. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

Endless Summer...

Hi there!  I'm back sharing two more projects using The Greeting Farm Print and Cut Kit. This kit can be used in so many ways.  Here, I created a Daily life page ...

 The elements worked well and of course I couldn't resist using the image "Puppy Love: from The Greeting Farm.

I also created a tag...

Featured here are Summer Time Anya and Summer Time Ian.  These two cuties are also included in the Summer Time Print and Cut Kit.  Thanks for stopping by and you can find this kit over at The Greeting Farm here.  Also check out more inspirational creations here... Claudette, Corinne, and Cynthia.

More Fun with the Summer Time Kit

Hi everyone!  Well I thought I better get this posted before my next DT projects.  I didn't get to post a few weeks ago due to power outage in my area from a hurricane.  Boy was it an experience not having power for four days.  I'm grateful that my family has always been prepared for things like that.  Well time got away from me and I realized that I have yet to post my projects although you can see them on The Greeting Farm blog here.

My first project is a card using that adorable hot air balloon from the Summer Time Kit along with the sentiment.  I also used Skyward Anya.

My next project is a Daily Life spread.

These photos that I used always made me happy and all the elements from the Summer Time kit just adds to them.

Thank you for stopping by and I will be back in a bit to share more projects from this wonderful kit.

Having Fun with Summer Time Kit

Hi everyone!  I hope your Summer is turning out to be exactly as you planned.  All week it has been raining crazy in my neck of the woods and when it rains, I like to hang out in my craft room with a HUGE cup of coffee and craft away.  And so that is exactly what I did.

My first project is a Daily Life page of what my Summer vacation looked like.  I went ahead and used my sister's pictures because I thought she captured the sunsets so well.

Ahhh, I am so happy with the way this page turned out and it makes me miss my hometown.  But I know it's just a 45 minute airplane ride away. Okay, along with a 30 minute drive. hehe!  So EVERYTHING on this page comes from the Summer Time Journaling Cards and Summer Time Print & Cut Kit from The Greeting Farm.


Now... I've been having the urge to make Summer Time Anya in Paris because Anya is always sweet yet sassy.  Don't you think?  So I created a step-card that shows the Eiffel Tower and because there isn't a beach near the tower I added a pool.  Surely there must be a pool somewhere close by right?  And I agree with Anya here... Life IS better at the pool!

One of my all time favorite things to make is homemade scrubs.

Here I upcycled a jar and filled it with a homemade orange cream sugar scrub and wrapped it with a Summer Time Journal Card. Even the blue paper behind the label is a journal card.  HAHA! I wasn't gonna waste anything!  I decided to decorate a gift box as well and again I used the same journal card and elements from the kit.  Of course I had to add the orange Popsicle :)



And for fun I made another card...

When I saw these stars I quickly had Skater Ian in mind.  And like a typical boy he's enjoying life.

Thank you so much for allowing me to share all my projects using this amazing kit with all of you!  I was having so much fun with it. Please visit The Greeting Farm and my fellow DT members Claudette, Corinne, and Cynthia.  THANK YOU!

Summertime Mini Release

Hello friends!  I hope everyone had a fun and safe Holiday weekend.  Today I'm sharing a mini release on The Greeting Farm's Summer Time Journal cards. They are currently on sale over at The Greeting Farm.  These cards can be used in many ways... Daily life, scrapbook layouts, cards, and so much more!  Here are a couple of ways that I have used them...

Every paper you see here is from this new Summer Time Journal Cards Kit and the added elements are from the Summer Time Print & Cut Kit.  My photos didn't do justice to how beautiful the water was that day so I'm pleased with how much my page is brightened up with this kit.

I also created a card. All the background paper is from the Journal Cards and the sun and sentiment is from the Print & Cut Kit. I wanted to make a fishing card because I'm looking forward to doing some fishing this summer.

I hope you enjoyed my projects and that it has helped you in getting your creativity flowing.  Happy crafting everyone and be sure to stop by the other design team members for more crafty ideas.

Summertime is here!

Hi everyone!  Wow, Summertime is in FULL swing for my family and this new print and cut Summertime kit is keeping with my mood.  My excitement is bubbling over and I am having a blast playing with this kit. 

Okay friends... This is exciting because with this Summertime kit from TheGreeting Farm, not only will you be receiving super cute elements but you'll also be getting TWO digis! Yes, you read correct!

In todays projects I used both Summertime Ian and Summertime Anya!  Now, being that I live in Hawai'i these two images will be worked! LOL!

So, my first project is a card featuring Summertime Ian. Doesn't he look like he belongs in some Disney Summer movie? Also from this kit is the "Summer days" banner, "Just relax" flag, and the scalloped edge border.  I added some summer design paper in the background and I just love using Kraft paper for my cards.

Next is a daily documentation of my daughter.  This gal cracks me up and I must say, I am a bit envious of how adorable she looks in my beach hat and sunglasses. LOL!

Summertime Anya is featured on this project along with more adorable elements from this kit.  I used the banner, "Enjoy life" flag, "Today I feel nice" ticket, "Today I feel cool" ticket, "Today I feel happy" ticket, and the rainbow.  I could go on and on with all these elements.

A Berry Sweet Gift

Hi everyone!  I'm here to share a couple more projects using the "Berry Sweet" Kit from The Greeting Farm.  Here I upcycled SPAM cans to make stationery gifts for my daughter's teachers.

The cans, notepads, and post its were all decorated using this super sweet kit.  This really has been my favorite project to work on.  I love that I can create a whole collection of gifts and have it revolve around a theme.

Next, I created a card...

Oh now I could not resist using these new images of "Wild Child" from The Greeting Farm to add to these sweet sentiments from the "Berry Sweet" Kit.

Thank you for stopping by and please stop by Cynthia's to see her adorable creations.

Shin-Shin Thank You Card

I received a wonderful surprise in the mail.  My SIL knows how much I love to read and was so kind to send a book from Amazon.  I have been wanting ink up the super cute stamp "Shin-Shin" from Sister Stamps. So this was the perfect opportunity.

I colored Shin-Shin with Copic Markers.  The sentiment and corner die cuts are from Island Scrapbooking.  Those die cuts are so nice to have on hand especially for emergency cards. :)

Thanks for taking a look!  Have a wonderful day!

Sweeeeet!

Hi there!

I'm sharing a couple of projects using the "Berry Sweet" Kit from The Greeting Farm Cut & Print and Daily Life.  From the moment I saw these kits I knew I just had to have them and boy was I super excited when given a chance to showcase it.

I created a festive tag. The background paper and decor along with the "Sweet" sentiment comes with the Berry Sweet Print & Cut kit.  I also colored up and added an image from The Greeting Farm "Twisted Tea" to the tag.  I had fun making this tag, well... because of the COLORS!!!!  LOL  So I just had to add all those colors from the kit onto Twisted Tea.

Next....

Okay, so I looove shaker cards!  Comm'on who can resist such cute sequins being shakin' up with an even cuter image...right?!!!  So on this card I used one of the daily life cards from the Berry Sweet Daily Life Kit and washi taped it to an acetate sheet.  *Go ahead, you can back up for a wink of a sec.  Did you catch it? Yes! I used WASHI TAPE! How much more simple can you possibly get?! hahaha.... Oh and added sequins which you can find here. And who wouldn't perk up with a "hello" card splashed with all these cute colors?

Well, I surely have more ideas.... Don't forget to checkout THE GREETING FARM for these super adorable kits along with their other fabulous kits and images.  And checkout Cynthia's blog for all her amazing creations.  It will blow your mind!

Have a great week and mahalo for stopping by!!!

Hop on

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a great Easter Holiday.


 I'm here one more time sharing with you a couple of projects using the "Hoppy Easter" Kit from The Greeting Farm.  I created what is called a pop up matchbox card.

This is how it looks when it's opened up.  I first saw this in a tutorial given on youtube by Rachel Lewsley of My Stampin Haven.  I did a bit of altering because well... let's be frank here... I don't follow instructions very well.  Yes, that's me! hehehe!

Now how adorable are those cute characters from the Hoppy Easter Kit?! For the inside of the card I used the bunny, chick, and Easter eggs.  I jazzed it up a bit with a fence, grass, butterflies, and clouds in the background. There are three little tabs where I adhered all the pieces.



Here is what it looks like all the way open and as you can see there is room for a gift card.

And although it's Easter, I really could not resist a Starbucks hula girl gift card.  I thought this was brilliantly planned out!


And here is the top of the box when it's closed.

This adorable basket and "Happy Easter" sentiment is also in the Hoppy Easter Kit.

The bottom of this box is reserved for personal writing.  So there you have it!... A Pop Up Matchbox Card!




After seeing the "Hop on" sentiment on this kit, I knew exactly which photo I could use for a scrapbook layout.

And my daughter had no hesitation hoping on her bicycle in this photo.  Some of the design papers and the sentiment is from the Hoppy Easter Kit.  So you see just how diverse this kit really is.

Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share with you this wonderful kit from The Greeting Farm.  You can also check out the rest of the DT sweethearts... Claudette, Corinne, and Cynthia, and of course over at The Greeting Farm blog.


Aloha and Mahalo!

Spring Fun

Hiya there!

Did you know that The Greeting Farm's Hoppy Easter Kit can be used in other ways besides Easter?  Here I created a cute little bird house and used the sentiment from the Hoppy Easter Kit.

I thought they went well together.  I came across this birdhouse from paperisbliss.  After seeing it, I knew I too needed to create one.  I love that it's tied with a ribbon so it can still be opened for some sweet treat goodies that are in there.

Here's a close up of how it opens and the "lucky candy" that are in there.




Also from the kit are adorable cards that can be used for many different projects and in this case I used them for a Project Life page of my two minis.

Dress them in pink, give them some flowers, and fun sunglasses and I had no problem getting them to take pictures.  This was such a super easy process and these cards make it so simple.  I also colored up Miss Anya Love from The Greeting Farm.




Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out this adorable Hoppy Easter Kit from The Greeting Farm.

Yummy Pie

Happy Monday!

I'm here with a card I just created with Cheeky Cherry Pie from The Greeting Farm.  I have a few birthdays this month and this card is for a very special someone who loooves pies.    Being that Miss Anya is always so sexy I have her sitting on her kitchen table. hehehehe!

So it turns out this card is for my hubby.  I know this card is very feminine but this way he'll think of me. hahaha!  Every year for his birthday I bake him a pie rather than a cake.  Okay I'm off to create...

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Planning Set-up

Hi friends!

Aside from paper crafting, this past year I have really been into decorating my planners.  Some would say it's a bit extreme to put so much effort into decorating your planners.  I say...Is it fun? HECK YEAH! It's another outlet for me to play with paper, stickers, and stationery.  We all love that right?!

So this is my bigger planner a Kikki K planner and this is where I keep track of everything overall such as: Home cleaning, everyone's schedule, bills, birthdays... just a broad view of everything. And being that Easter is this month naturally I went with an Easter theme to decorate it.

My second planner is a smaller Kikki K planner that fits into my handbag and can be carried with me at all times.  This is where I keep track of the day to day.  I know exactly what I need to do, where I need to go, what I'm making for dinner, etc.  This one wasn't all that necessary but I felt decorating only once a month was not enough fun. Seriously I need every excuse and opportunity to play with paper. :)

Sorry to bore all of you with my planner addiction but this is another fun part of my life so you'll be seeing it here on my blog.  If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!  Thanks for stopping by friends!

HOPPY EASTER!

Hi friends!

I'm so excited to announce that I am on the "Print & Cut" Design Team for The Greeting Farm.  Yay!  I couldn't believe when I was asked.  And I'm on the team with some very amazing women whom I have admired so much!

So... here is my first project.  I did a layout with a photo from last year that I've been meaning to scrapbook.  So perfect for this project!

Awe I love the cute little eggs!  And because they are cutting files it was so easy to just have my silhouette do the work.  I love how simple and cute this "Hoppy Easter" kit is!


Next up is a card I made.  I must say, I was really happy to see this sentiment in the kit.  Well... isn't that what Spring is all about?  A New Beginning?!!!

Now this brings back fond memories of when I was younger.  Every year the young ladies in our church would have a beautiful and heart warming activity in the Spring named "New Beginning".  So this sentiment brings a smile to my face.

I used Anya of The Miss Anya Collection from The Greeting Farm.  Go check out this adorable Spring kit over at The Greeting Farm.

Have a great week!

Calendar Gift

Hi friends!  mmmm, Spring is most definitly in the air and I'm loving all the beautiful colors.

 I whipped up some calendars as "Thank you" gifts for some sweet church sisters who took very good care of my nephew who is out serving his mission.

I just can't get enough of these adorable images from The Greeting Farm.  It really makes me happy to color them up.

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!
