Deth's Greetings

So Blessed When 2013 Came!

2013-01-29T13:07:00.002-08:00

Yeah! That is right!
Before 2012 ends I have inquiries and projects coming. I am so very blessed with these customers. They are all open-minded, thoughtful, patient and their vision or likes for their projects are so cute , amazing and wonderful! I hope they will come again on their next parties and spread the news of my Deth's Greetings creations.

In random order,
It's starts on Dress Design and customers like to use the NAME. That is cute, right!

From Polo Shirt Design and Baby Shower word only, customer requested CAYSON! This is so lovely!

I posted it as Personalized Birthday Birthday, but customer has an idea to make this as for their BABY SHOWER and it states as CONGRATULATIONS! Good job!

This is a Minnie Mouse Theme Party for my dear customer. So lovely! Pink and Black!

Everytime I saw these banner it's an adventure.

It is fuscia, white and gray color scheme cardstocks. It should be a bright pink but I don't have a bright pink that time until now. Good that my customer was so understandable. She requested three banners. Happy 1st Birthday Emma, Emma is Turning 1 and I am 1! I was overwhelmed with her. She trusted me so much to be part of their party preparations.

These are so super cute! And the baby was so cute, too! These banners matched to her baby! Love you Emma!

From eBay customer her name has a cake. She likes my creation. I appreciates her sweet positive feedback. Thank you so much. I hope we can do business again.

Birthday banner for Jordan. This customer was so good.

For Khloe! Good match for little girl.

From Scallop Circle and Circle shape, I change this as head of lion. She said their theme is Lion King so I change the circle to the head of lion.

By the way, some of my customers saying their theme, "what do you think is the best?" and the colors. They put in to my hands the style or design for their party. I love you so much for trusting me. The color resolution here didn't show the good result.

We, my customer and I, started talking on Polo Shirt Design Banner. And while the days passed by, she ask if I can change the collar into a baby collar. And I said yes I can do that. Then requested again instead of polo make in to Onesie. I do not understand first or figure it out what is it. Then I google what is it. Then I sent picture the Onesie and she was so happy. So, I start doing this and sent sample. She likes it so much! And I can't believe it to her ideas for their party. She has these banners FOOD, GIFTS, DESSERTS! Thank you so much for trusting me!

I relaxed for awhile before I start this banner. Because I need to find image of Super Mario's Brothers. My customer and I talks a lot about the banner that she wanted. And there's a situation that I mixed my message. My message for Emma was sent to her. Hahahahahaha. And what I like most to my customers are they really make sure what they want. Though sometimes I am thinking "hmmm Can I do that?" or sometimes I am worried about the availability of my cardstocks color. So, when I start doing this I thought I can make a whole body of Luigi. But the blade ruin the paper. I send message to my dear customer and she was so understandable. When she received my banner, she was so delighted about it. Thank you so much!

This banner was my year end 2012 banner. Their party was on January 2nd. My customer inquires after Christmas day off December. She brings me the LUCK! This is winter wonderland banner. I embossed it using my snowflakes embossing folder, and sprinkle with glitter powder. When I am done doing this it looks like a cake and yummy. I am so excited and my customer likes this so much! This is so pretty in person,

That's all!
See you soon.

Hi everyone!

December and Christmas are fast approaching! And Thank God that we already set-up our Christmas tree and some decors inside of our love nest. But not outside it is ice cold out there!

Well, Christmas is not complete if we do not have any banners or some decors made by my hands. So, using my Silly and Big K buddies I have my cutes and sweetest banner and garland. At long last, I finished our banner. I starts doing this August. Because of orders and going somewhere it took months before it's done.

I have four designs when I am starting doing this. And I ask my husband which of those he likes. So he chose this design and he suggests the holy berries.

I embossed background and the leaves cardstocks. I really like the results of embossed on the holly berries leaves. It looks like a leaves. I used also Glossy Accents for the berries so that it will standout and looks glossy. Oh I add red glitters on it. I love glitters.

Mema (my husband grandmother) gave me an assorted colors of beads. She thinks of me when she saw that beads. She said "I know you can do something for this for your crafts". What a sweet isn't it? Then I used those beads on bows using hot glue. In this picture was kinda perfect others is not a little bit ok but they are still cute. It looks so elegant to my eyes!

This banner gives me idea to make another banner but not for Christmas but for girls birthday banner. I hope I find those beads in Acmoore, Joann's or Michaels. Help me please!

This not a cake. In this picture it looks like a cake.

These are my cutee pieces for garland. While watching tv last night I am thinking I want to make a garland like those circle garlands that I used to see on those parties. Then I said "Christmas, Circle, Scallop minus my Silly and Big K buddies".

Then it came out to my mind how about using the scallop and circle punches. It so cute! I grabbed all those scrap papers and punches. Start punching and that's it. I have dress of Santa and his face with bonnet.

Scallop punch is about 2" and circle punch is about 1" only. I cut the scallop punch into 2 and adhered them both and make some effect on the top to give some dimensions. Same also in circle punch. I put silver glitter to give some drama or glittering.

For the belt, I cut 1/4" for black and use manually cut the yellow cardstocks using my exacto knife. Patient is virtue again. Then gold glitter on his belt.

I used the floss thread to connect them and trim it so that it won't look messy. I want to emphasize or focus would be on the santa's dress only.

When I hanged it I noticed that I should do it back to back so that I wouldn't adjust it facing front.

This is so cute and sweet in person.

Thank you for looking. Oh I have another one. I hope I can do it NOW!

Bye!

Personalized Banner for a Baby Boy Version

2012-11-27T08:31:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!

Here's my personalized banner for baby boy.

There's a customers in eBay saying how about a version for a boy? Hmmm I been thinking that too. So, I make a design first in my baby Silhouette Cameo. Then went to Acmoore and Joann's Fabric and Craft for cardstocks for boys.

So that's it I got this DCWV cute cardstock that is glittered and printed design that suited for my design. There's an assorted colored buttons and floss thread too. Ooops, before I forget the collar. I bought also a cardstock teal color at Staples because it's kinda thick. And last the blue dotted nylon ribbon,

For this banner, the customer choose only the shades of sage, teal, brown and blue. On the original design of this banner it has red and orange. She did reminds me of the stitching and collar. I love it!

Even the buttons I stitch it. Because I want to show the thread on it. I want it to make it as real polo shirt.

The reason why I placed the letters at the right side is because of it reminds me real shirts logo. It was always at the right sides. Though stitching is allows you to give time I really do it. Even in collar I stitched that too. I want cute and different.

I added assorted colored buttons and stitched the sleeves. I have also collar that will look like a polo shirt. Though it quite giving time but I love it when it is finished. So cute!

I added bow made of cardstock too. I learned that bow from the websites that teaches you how to make a bow and it has a template for bow, too. In my "It's a Girl" banner I used flower made out of ribbon. But here I used cardstocks only,

Look the design..Isn't so cute?!

The ribbon is 1/4" only nylon. Ribbon is teal color made of cardstocks. I got that idea of making a bow from Youtube and email too.

And this is my Thank You note card for my customer. I love that too with matching rhinestones at the sides.

If interested you can email me at det20169@yahoo.com.

Happy crafting everyone

One of the Cutest Thank You Card that I made

2012-11-27T07:55:00.003-08:00

Good day! Here I am again showing one of my cards. My cutest Thank You card that I made.

These are made from special patterned cardstocks and premium cardstocks. I added ribbon in a different technique and cute buttons.

I always saw adding buttons on the cards so I said once I am making a card I will add also a button. So this is it!

By the way, this is just only a full length size card 4.50" by 5.50"

Before I cut the cardstocks I use my Silhouette Cameo software for drawings. So that I have a guide or template for my design. But in this designs, I didn't follow what's on my sketch I follow my mind to this and that. I said, I want to use my "Embossing Thank You folders" from Sizzix. That Thank You embossing folder was so cute and I am so fascinated on it. So I said I want to have a thank you card out of this embossing thank you folder.

And from the Youtube tutorials and uploaded pictures of cards I saw that ribbon technique bow. It gives me idea. I said again..I want that on my card plus the buttons. And of course the belt.

The scalloped square and oval shapes gives cuteness on these cards too.

When I am done on layering and adhering these cardstocks I have a little bit problem on the background color. I said I want happy color that will match on that embossed Thank You So Much. So, that's it I used the yellow. The real color of base cardstock is white. What I did, I used the technique of distressing. I used the foam and the Ink It Up stamps yellow color and distress the sides of that cardstocks.

I love and I am happy doing it. And I became more happy when I see the final result of these cardstocks. Finally, the color combinations are good, the prints on the cardstocks are balance as

well as the shapes.

This Embossed Thank You Cards can be used in all occasions. If interested you can email me here or at det20169@yahoo.com. There are lots of pictures at www.facebook.com/dethsgreetings

Happy Crafting!

Thank You Tag for Birthday Boy

2012-10-09T17:04:00.000-07:00

My tags for birthday boy. Made from bazzill cardstock and granite specialty paper. I am happy that I made it a little bit perfect using my baby Silly. Print and cut again. I pay attention on clicking the command so that I won't waste any paper. I used again the command Text to Path. Oh I love my Silly babe!

Blue for the Michael's Blessed Day

2012-10-07T20:07:00.000-07:00

My friend was looking for me to help her to decorate on her son's celebration. It is the Christening and 1st Birthday. I ask her if there's a theme so that I would match her theme to the color decoration. And we come up to the dark blue, light blue and white. She chose the scalloped circle for the banner.

I used my buddy baby Silhouette Cameo to cut perfectly the scalloped shape and the round circle shape too. And also the font. I am so really really happy and love having a digital plotter to cut for my projects. Though sometimes we encounter a problem later on I know how to solve it. I love my babies so much. Silly and Biggie.

I insert or add a small scalloped circle in-between Happy , 1st and Birthday. And it is super cute!

I used the double adhesive tape to the cut-out letter to add some dimensions. Using the Fiskars Sweat Pea Clear stamps button and Studio G White for the stamping. I used the Satin Sensation for the ribbon. And I like this brand that I bought. It is 3/8 inches and 15 yards.

This is the door sign. I would suggest that there should be a door sign if there's a celebration happening to your house or a place. Because it is a Christening and 1st Birthday I use the description as "Blessed day". My husband suggests that I should use the solid color for the balloons. Hmmm maybe next time I will do it.

I really like my birds here. I put some dimension on the wings and tails.

And of course the materials are from ACMoore. We are so lucky that time because the ACmoore has 50% off on their bazzil cardstock. Would you believe on that! Oopps I forgot to mention my Pink CGull that always assist me to "lift me up"!

Happy Blessed day!

My Wish(es)

2012-10-07T09:02:00.000-07:00

Though it is not yet Christmas but I am starting to say my wishes and I really wanted to have it. Like a kid I have things that I wanted to have. But due to not working and our budget is not enough I am waiting for the good timing. My greatest virtue is I am very patient to have "my wish/es". And I gonna have those in good deeds not in wrong doing.

What are my wishes?
1. A job! Of course..I should have a job so that I can buy what I want and when I want to buy it. Send money for my family and not waiting if we have extra money or budget.
A job is the most important so that I can do the buying and selling. I am in two online auction and I know how to do the pricing. I have lots of ideas what I want to sell.
A job so that I can save money for our future and I can visit my family with my own expense.
But if I have a job I wanted it near to where I lived. Because I do not know how to drive. Though we have now extra car that I can drive but the problem is it has lots of things to do with it. And I need to pay my insurance.
I wish I have a job and / or money so that I can apply a job anywhere.

2. Now if I have a job then have an extra money then I would start the buying and selling. I've seen those "moving" that selling their scrapbook things. Every time I saw these I said "I should have money so that I will buy those and sell it". I know there's a money on it. And some items I will use to continue my paper craft business.

3. For my Paper Craft business, I am going to continue doing it. I love making cards, banners and decorations.
3.1 I will and it is included in my wish list is to have and or buy COLORED PRINTER. I have printer here but only for black that's why my card is very limited. I can't print the font or message in colored. The printer that I wanted to buy is the Epson WorkForce 545 All-in-One PrinterCopier/Fax Machine/Scanner

3.2 I will buy a Lifestyle Craft Letterpress Starter Kit. I like those result that prints and press. I had already a Bigkick machine so I don't think I should buy the pressing machine. And I love my buddy Bigkick!

3.3 I will or not invest or buy cardstock in online store

Bazzill Basics BAZL-P-4005 Bazzill Prismatic Cardstock 12 x 12 Inch - Case of 25 (Google Affiliate Ad)

3.4 I want to have any Embossing Heat Tools.

4. I want to become a "Drop shipper". I am in Papercraft world and there's a lot of supplies or craft that looks cute and very useful. And for me I want to sell it. Like the Lawn Fawn, the Martha Stewart, Sizzix, Cuttlebug, Darice, Uchida and so so. I want to sell those but I do not want to look for the supplier. If I am going to sell scrapbook supplies I want to direct to the manufacturer.

5. Oh i love shipping my items. It makes me happy. Printing the invoice and shipping labels. And it is also included in my Santa Claus wish list that My Papercraft business and some items in eBay would be prosperous. I want to become a successful business woman.

hmmm I forgot what else.. I am praying I can get a job near to my place.

Baby Shower Banner for a Boy

2012-09-06T20:54:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone again!

It's been a while that I didn't post here. Well, I am busy.

Remember my It's a Girl Baby Shower Banner?Well, while I am out of town or in Florida with my husband there's one customer asking for a version of banner for a boy.

There's lot of design in mind that I want to create but this one that has a collar is the one that I want really to make. I was challenge. Good that I have scratch papers for my samples which cut and fold and sizing if it is good for banner. When I got the right size then I said this is the correct size pendant for my banner. But I noticed I will have only 2 cuts for 12 x 12 cardstocks. So I think again how I will do it. What I did the collar was not included on the polo shirt on cutting it. In my Silhouette Cameo program, I edit my design. Cut the collar on it and put some wholes or circles as my stitching guide. So on the 12 x 12 cardstocks instead of 2 polo shirts I have now 3 cuts of polo shirt in 12 x 12 cardstocks and 1 piece of collar only. After my Silhouette Cameo cuts all the shapes including the collar I fold it and use the DMC thread to sewed on the shirt and the collar. In my design, I wanted to include the sewing design/style/technique. So I sewed the collar and shirt plus the sleeves. It is so cute on personal.

Let me say, in this design I want to incorporate the the polo shirt design, stitches technique and the assorted cute button.

It come up like this. These are so cute. I used the DCWM cardstocks. Special patterned and glittered or dry embossed cardstocks.

Each pendants measures 7.74 " and 5.50". I used the nylon dot ribbon size 5/8" only.

I really love this banner. My version for Baby Boy.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting

Coupon

2012-08-31T11:10:00.001-07:00

We went to Acmoore, Shrewsbury NJ. It is great that I have $10 off when you purchase worth $25.00. Before we off I check first if I save coupon. I check on my emails and that's it. Only for August 30 I can use my $10 offd. What a great day isn't it?

My husband help me to locate where are the products. The store change their layout for school supplies buyers. My husband asks me what are the things we are looking or buying. So I said cardstocks only for boys. And we look around. I thought I will be empty handed and he keeps saying that "maybe it is on the wrong placed." So I check each pile and voila! One of the cardstock was put on top of the DCWC for Baby Boy. And we look around again because I need to buy or get more so that I can use my coupon. Then I have Darice Embossing folders. I like it so much and cheap. Embossing powders and the Double Sided tape.

Oh I love coupon so much and I love Acmoore.

Christmas Banner#1

2012-08-12T10:31:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone! I am here again for Christmas preparations. Now I am starting for a banner. I'm done on creating a samples so now I will start making a banner out of those sample pendants.

I ask my husband which of those samples he likes so he choose the one that has an oval scalloped shape but there's some changes. Like the flowers. He prefer the holly berries. And the font should be more solid color. He likes solid colors.

So for this Day 1, actually I start last night writing my TO DO'S. Using my Silhouette Cameo machine it or I cut first the berries. Because I'm going to put red glitter and Glossy accents on it and dry it for an hours.

So, below pictures are my berries. It measures .75". My first time doing it. Some were flats and some were good. I overnight drying it.

These are materials I used. I am going to like the Glossy accents. I got this idea from tutorials. Thanks ladies who always uploaded their videos on Youtube. I bought the Glossy Accents in Acmoore, Shrewsbury. They have that size and it is on SALE! The red glitter is from A and P shop. The cardstocks from Staples.

Happy Crafting!

Preparing for Christmas.

2012-07-19T16:14:00.001-07:00

Would you believe that I am now preparing for Christmas?When the summer comes I am thinking or planning that I will make a Christmas craft earlier. Then because I am IN in the group of Tophatter and crafts I found out that they are now preparing and starting for Christmas. Whoaa!!!
My brain is running and thinking what would be. I have lots in my mind so when I start holding my tools oh my everything was jamming like paper in the printer. I have to hold on and relax so that it will come up good, right?
So I am planning to make

Christmas Banner a "Merry Christmas". I will have that, of course, in our apartment, my family in Philippines. And I'm gonna ask my in-laws if they want.
An enveloped for money or we can "ampaw" in Philippines. This is difference most especially the print design. It would be Christmas spirit. Because when I was in the Philippines my family always bought that has a Chinese characters logo. I need red paper not a cardstocks, right? And I need a stamps something Christmas.
Christmas Cards with Enveloped.

So in this day 1, July 19, I have now a sample for banner. A miniature for a banner.

From Silhouette Cameo image and the green stocks embossed using the Cuttlebug. I spray the green cardstock using the Perfect Pearl Mists Sour Apple from Ranger. It comes beautiful. First I used it bought from Michaels. I love it so much. Punch using Recellections. So lovely. I don't have snowflakes so for the meantime I will use that. And adhere it with Rhinestone. By the way, the size of this is 3x4 inches, My miniature sample banner. Oh I really love it. I hope when I finalized it it would come up to my expectations.

I used the Recollections premium cardstock Red, Green and Brown. For the glitter is from DCWV The Glitzy Glitter Stack 24 sheets from Michaels. I bought my rhinestones in Acmoore and Tophatter.

I love it so much!

If you have any suggestions you are welcome to post your comments.

Day 2

These are the pennants that I finished when I continue.

For every pennants of I want to make a different style so that I would know which is the best.

E is something white and snow only. I wanted this to be like in a wooden grain stamp but because of my limited budget I used my Texturz Sizzix plates and inked it using coffee bean.

For R, I want to put the poinsettia flower on it. I am thinking which is best if it is the coffee bean or the white around the petals of the poinsettia.

When I am doing my craft I noticed that I am not on my focus. In my mind I have this design but while working on my design it always changes. Or might be, my eyes telling me the design was not fit to the style. My eyes and my mind were contradicting to each other.

Still more to go..

Day 3

Another design for this season. I saw some designers used buttons on their cards. And while I am thinking what would be my design and adding the buttons on it then i saw a designer adds buttons on her cards. so I said wow! and now I add buttons on my Christmas banner.

This design was not on my list. But I saw this shapes on my box so I said why I used this shapes. That's it! A lovely and elegant pennant for this holiday season.

Happy Crafting!

Anything goes for Baby Girl

2012-07-09T14:38:00.003-07:00

Here's my cute pennants for baby shower. I designed my own pennant or shapes and use beautiful cardstock that has designed and glitters.

Last few weeks this makes me busy. I make a rush just to submit this on the Tophatter Live Online Auction. I bought all my materials in ACMoore and Joann's Fabric Stores. I chose this cardstock to make it really look like a dress of the coming baby girl and match to our season today. I really like this design and this is my own design.

Pennants are made from premium, special and glittered cardstocks.

These pennants size are 5.25 inches

Fonts size is 72 pt with two different color premium cardstock.

Ribbons are made from gross grain materials. And I add bows in between of the words. I sewed it instead gluing it to make sure it won't fall out. I like how made my bows it. A copied it from the Youtube tutorials.

Here's the finished product of my banner. So cute isn''t it?

Banner is 6' 8" long

The close up picture of my baby girl banner

If you like to have this for you party like baby shower, birthday just email me.

I forgot that I should add or make an invitation card for the banner that I made. I made two type. One is the background is brown and the top and pink same with my font in the banner.

And this is the second type of style of this card. The top is white and the background is in different color. So that the customers will choose which color they want or they will prefer mix of different color.

My First Tag

2012-07-07T19:56:00.000-07:00

Yes! I have created my new first manila tag.

I've been busy monitoring my auction online sales in Tophatter and eBay. It gives me delightful because at first time and first day someone bought my perfume. I kinda' disappointed because of the price was too low and it didn't make it clear to me about the rules in auction. Good the buyer was very understandable. So on the next time around I enter the real price I wanted and that's it. Two perfume in one day. And to my surprised same person. Though she change her name when she enter again on the auction.

Then when I am preparing my package I put some little thing most especially the TAG. In my tag I put the Thank You so much to thanking the buyer for buying my products. I used it as my business card. It's been a while that I am really planning to make a design that looks like from a tag but the texts are as business format.

And now this is my tag. I watched different tutorials on making tags and the designs.

This is how I did:
1. Get my Recollections card stock the beige color size is 8.50 x 11 inches.
2. Use the swirl design clear stamps and Coffee Bean from Inkadinkado all over the cardstock. But I stamp it first on the scratch paper so that I will get the first generation that they are calling or a light colored on the paper. It shouldn't not to over power so that the texts will be visible or readable.
3. Bring the cardstock that has stamps swirl to the printer
4. Use my Silhouette cameo to cut the shape of my tag. I weld two shapes rounded square and square. Because I want the left side will be a rounded. Just a drama or give some attitude. Kinda cute.
5. Use the Registration Marks icon and show the registration marks to know if the tags are on the right locations.
6. Use the Send to Silhouette command, Click here to print and click Print.
7. Get the printed tags and put it on the cutting mat and cutting machine and load it.
8. Continue printing it. Automatic Detection for registration marks. And click ok
9. Cut.
Voila! You have a beautiful work of art TAG!

On these, I embossed the constructions paper using Thank You embossing folder from Sizzix

I add small flower use also my Silhouette cameo to cut and use the single puncher.

Tophatter Tough!

2012-07-01T22:48:00.001-07:00

Oh since last week of June my time was divided again into Tophatter. I tried to sell my perfumes there. It is a live auction online. Though it is avatar that representing you but you can chat the seller, buyer and the hosts.

What can you see there are supplies from jewelries, crafts, fabrics or clothes, designers brands (which I am belong) and so so.

What makes me laugh is there are some women that are so funny sending her chat. Oh we are chatting to express our thoughts. Saying hi and so and promoting of course those items in STANDBY, most especially.

What makes me sigh is sometimes I don't have a bid that why no $$$ for that time. If your item was on the STANDBY it will goes up only to UPCOMING if someone bids it. And you are very lucky that one now. Because it is a money now. Or should I say there's a possibilities someone will buy your item.

What makes me sigh also is I don't know if my bid price is enough for those deductions. Tophatter will gets 10% from your selling price and plus the Paypal will gets some for the processing.

When it comes to Paypal I am pretty sure that my account was in a safest way. Right Paypal?

What makes me more happy is one woman, same woman, bids my perfumes. The Dreaming Pearl of Hilfiger and Brasil Dream of Estee Lauder.

I have to be patient and keep my finger cross to someone bids it. Now I increase a little bit of my price and I hope it wont affect my potentiabilities, yes potentiabilities, for selling my perfumes.

By the way, I start selling my products or perfumes since 2010.

Happy Smells Good.

Banner for my little kid name Jamir

2012-06-29T13:13:00.003-07:00

It's been a months that I haven't continue doing to finish my party things for him. Now and since this Monday I starts again to design again for his banner. I want the design fits to his age and personality.

Using my Silhouette Cameo and purchase a design to this store I choose the cute circle that crooked on the edges. It comes to one shape only and I separate those shapes and save it by its selection.

I only use the crooked circle and make my own circle as the top of that base.

I will continue posting later.

And now this is the continuation of my banner for the little kid called Jamir. He is so cute and adorable but naughty. hahahahahaha So I much the perfect design on his birthday.

Pennants size are 5.25 inches width and length. I embossed it using the textured plate from Sizzix. I really love the plates because it is big and good for the size I want. It cardstock will become textured when you embossed it using that plate.

The above pennant I used the Stars and the below pennant I used the Happy Birthday. Isn't so lovely?

Here, is the font for this occasion. He is going to 4 years old this year. The font size is 72 pt.

Here's the complete or finished product of this banner. The banner is 6' and 8" long. I add his favorite characters like Teletubbies Po, Buzz Lighter, Woody, Barney, and not on the banner are Car and Sponge Bob.

If you interested to have a banner like this and you want to order just email me and I am happy to do it for you. Just don't forget give me a one month to do everything plus the shipping.

Happy crafting!

Scrapbook Expo

2012-06-27T08:14:00.000-07:00

Scrap Expo is coming. It will be on June 29 and 30 at Somerset, NJ. There are many craft show booths and tutorials and demo. I am waiting for this but the problem is I don't now how to drive, budget is kinda predictable, I don't know who's going to give me a ride. I don't know if I can tell that to my husband.

The reason why I didn't tell this to my husband because they have already a plan this June to meet his first son. But it seems like quiet. I really want to see the expo what's inside. I want my eyes to be happy and expose to the world of scrapping.

One thing more..I don't have any idea how much is the fare or there's an admission there..Uggh! I knew this before but because of my husband schedule I never mind this event again. Now I don't know if they have again.

Scrapbook Expo I think I will see you only in the ONLINE.

Below is the link for the other details of Scrapbook Expo
Have fun and join the fun!

GIMP

2012-06-21T12:44:00.000-07:00

Have you heard the Gimp? Hear this for the first time in one of the ladies in Silhouette Group. I am know the Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, Illustrator but this Gimp was very new to me. When I search it to Google I hold for awhile because it gives me a notification of spyware. So I ask my husband it. But my husband didn't take a time for it so I make a move. Read and watch tutorials in Youtube. So that's it. I install the free software and I have it now.

Again, watch and watch the tutorials from Youtube. There are some very fast on demonstrations and some were moderate. What I did?I watch and next is follow and take down notes. Now, I have 2 samples work from Gimp. Sooner I will be familiar with these commands.

So far, Monsoonami, is the best demonstrators for tutorials. There was two but the first lady has an accent and the other one during her tutorials is coughing.

Here's my Gimp samples.

The Father of the House

2012-06-17T20:04:00.002-07:00

Eric, the youngest son, Rich my husband and Joey his second to his sons.

And now the awaiting is over, the Father's day of 2012. Joey, his eldest, and I were talking about if their have plans for the Father's Day or if their dad planning for something. He said nothing. But him and his brother are planning to have a breakfast in iHop or somewhere in our place. I ask also my husband if he has plan for the Father's Day or he heard something from his children. And he said he doesn't know. It seems like there was a conspiracy happening around here for the Father's Day but it is not a big deal to celebrate it. But I know it is kinda' different for my husband because his teenager sons were working in a pizza place. And there are times my husband teasing his sons to treat him for at least a breakfast. So that's it! Because his sons are still new on their job they do not have definite schedules so we keep asking their schedules so Friday we found out now how are we going to do. Breakfast in iHop. Ooopss, my husband work tour changes also from morning to night time. So the final date and time still Sunday and morning which is breakfast.

Before those things, I am also planning for the gift. Though I am not working or earning money but I used my talent for his gifts. Yes, gifts using crafts. But and unfortunately the other gift that I supposed to do I didn't pursue due to no tumbler in Michaels and no money..ooohhh.. So I still continue that most awaited project I wanted to do. Actually, this is my second project for wall home decor. And my gift was a picture frame or father's day frame for my husband. His picture 2006 on our wedding and a saying of "Anyone can be a Father. It takes someone special to be a daddy". I got the idea of adhering or layering the message by lines and putting the pictures and message from the graduation frame itself. When I am buying a frame for a wedding that I am doing also that graduation frame caught my attention. And I said I will use this frame for a project. And good that time this graduation frame was still in Michaels and SALE! So everything collaborated from different output. Friday I ask Eric to sign up on the frame and Joey I already told me after the project was done.

Well, during I am doing that gift and when I bought the graduation frame my husband was with me. He drove me going to Michaels. And he keep asking a question what are we going to buy. Until I answer him honestly. So he knows it already and seen the frame. And also while I am designing the message to picking up the font style to cutting and adhering he keeps on going to our bedroom. So, a little bit he has idea what's my gift. But surprisingly, he has no idea about the picture I am going to display.

I showed to Joe when the project was done. He was happy and comment about the picture first. It is a lot of difference now about his father figure. And also he really stare on the project or fonts that I adhered. And after that, I ask him to sign it.

Then Friday night, the first night tour of my husband in USPS I designed again the card that I will put on top of the gift wrap. I use the circular advertisements as a gift wrap. From the Silhouette Cameo online store I search what border I am going to use. But what happen I designed my own card. I use the BRACKET symbol and choose the desired font. And add square on both sides to connect the two brackets. Use the Trace and Offset command to make it a whole shape and voila! I made it and I have my own design again in Silhouette Cameo.

Sunday morning, when my husband came and everyone is ready and before we leave the apartment I hand him the gift and he was surprised about the picture. He likes it and he likes it most when he saw his sons greetings at the back of the frame.

Now the Father's Day frame was displayed for the meantime at the corner of the living room. Left corner and side of the tv.

I love you husband.

Greetings for Father's Day 2012

2012-06-16T23:51:00.001-07:00

Happy father's day to my husband Richard, my father who already in our Father's place Amado, my uncles, cousins, all my classmates in elementary, high schools and college, co-workers and friends. Who else?Ahh my mutual or common friends in social networking. I will not mention your names might be I will missed a name so better to greet in general manner.
For me, even a man that marries but not given a chance to have a child but experienced to take care a child, loves children, very affectionate to the children should be greet Father's Day. We should let them feel that they are belong to the special occasion. Eventually, we should also aware if he likes to greet. Hmmmm, another case to case basis. Well, me when it is mother's day, I wanted to hear and greet me a Mother's Day even though I will not bear a child nor have a baby. Though on my past years I took care of my nephews and nieces since their born. I know already the experienced. So, I demanding to greet me and I happy and welcome to that.
My husband seems like so excited to this day. Because his sons are working in a pizza parlor though they are still minor. He is excited though his sons schedule was kinda off to the day but their already schedule on how to have a date. I guess if the day is going fine he is the most happiest father happen so far in his time. And the reason also his sons will gonna treat him on their own pocket. It is about time..But...ssshhh.. I heard him one last night that he telling him his sons to do something on his day. And I guess the boys already told him that his eldest and I were already talked about the day but HE DEMANDS. Anyways, give him what he wants besides he did everything for his sons.
For my Papang Amado, though you are in Heaven's palace, and it was our first Papang's day that you are not here. I know though it quite hurt that you are not here. Oh here I am again that have some guilt. I know that you want to experience or have more but the line is ended or expired and you still insist. I love you so much and thank you for everything that you given to us talents, time and knowledge. Sad to say I will not have my next generation that will spread our genes.
Again, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL.

Inspirations, Ideas and Stores

2012-06-12T11:44:00.000-07:00

Anyways, the reasons why I can do those crafts because of the following..First the Sizzix and the Silhouette. These two machines are the ones that helps me to cut my desired shapes. And that's the reasons why I bought them because there are shapes that is hard for me to cut. I said I need something to do it for me. And also I adore those women that has beautiful shapes that cuts very elegant and finely. From then on, good that my husband Richard said search that I want and we will buy it. I saw the my baby Bigkick in Acmoore and we bought it that was January 2012 and the Silhouette that came March 2012. It seems like I won a Lottery when they came into my life or in my hand. There are times I made mistakes on using them most especially Silhouette but I said I am on the stage of TRIAL and Error. And it is not only me that was still on that wasting time, paper and so.

How I came to Acmoore?It is my friend and sister-in-law always telling me this store. So, one time I told to my husband I want to see that Acmoore. Oh my goodness. It seems like I am a child that saw a candy. I said this is my store. Everything on there was me. My talents was on that store. Most especially the price was so very good to me. PLUS THE COUPONS!. So far, everything I need was there and I prefer to buy on the store rather than in ONLINE. Because of I am the type of the persons that I want to see and feel it. I want to see the details on the item/s that I am going to buy. hmmm sounds perfectionist?I don't think so. I just want to make sure that the money I am spending is worth for it. And of course again..I HAVE COUPONS. hahahahahaha

And also I went to MICHAELS. I love this one also and near to me. And now, I begin to love it this store because I found the big size of card stock or whatever they called that is kinda textured. I will surely return to them and have one of that paper. And I found out the Recollections Card stock that I bought it this store, Holmdel Store, NJ was different from the card stock that I always bought. It is textured and the another one is kinda' glossy. Is it lovely?

Joann's..I visit this store 2011 when I am always buy my materials in Acmoore. It is not only for the my scrapbooking or paper materials but also for the fabric. So now, I know what store I will go if I starts doing my fabrics projects. I love sewing too. I got that ability from my mother. She tailored some clothes we wearing when we are still a kid. But she stops because she has no time for it.

So..this is it.. from cutting machines to stores..

First Design for Money Card

2012-06-12T09:08:00.003-07:00

My first money card. I always saw my husband's grand mother and mother using money card. And I said it is easy to do it. Then when I starts making my own greeting cards and other cards I experiment or explore myself on how to make a money card. And because of I have Silhouette Cameo it helps me a lot, too, on doing a money card. Plus the factor of videos and blogs tutorials.

I use the swirls stamps and stamps it on the right corner of the card. Add glitters on the die cut cross and the fonts are die cut too.

Wedding and Wall Decorations

2012-06-11T08:53:00.000-07:00

There was a woman in the group that I belong that make a wall decor for their house. She used the vinyl for the fonts. I am not mastered on using the Silhouette Cameo as well as the card stocks. So what I did I used the 2 different colors of Recollections card stocks. Cut the fonts five times and layered it to add some dimensions instead of using the thick double adhesive tapes.

And we gave this for a gift for this newly wed.
