Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Color Challenge...

2009-12-18T11:00:00.001-10:00

Good morning and happy "Aloha" Friday! Another "challenge" is going on at SSH. For more details, be sure to pop on over and check it out. To give you a little hint, it's all about "Color". I love, love, love the color purple and...that is why I chose to use it for this week's challenge. Here is a card created using "Santa Brigitta" from CC Designs. Again, one of several new images, just recently arrived at Little C's.

On Brigitta's outfit, a combination of Fun Flock and Puffy Paint were used to add some dimension. I also added some purple stickles to her wings but, in all honestly...it really didn't turn out, the way I expected. So...there will not be any close up shots (lol). As for the coloring, SU markers were used.

Hope you'll join on in, on this week's challenge. Till then, thank you for stopping in and have a very blessed weekend. Aloha and God bless~

Merry Christmas...from CC Designs "Nora"

2009-12-17T09:00:00.001-10:00

Good morning all and hope your Thursday is off to a great start. Here I have for you, a Christmas greeting from CC Designs "Nora in Winter Coat". She's one of several new images, recently arrived at Little C's.

As you can slightly see, stickles were added to the tiny snowflakes, giving it a little glitz. For a fuzzy look, "Fun Flock" was used on Nora's coat, boots, and scarf. The holiday flower, along with the primas, are items also available at Little C's. IRL, the holiday flower is so pretty. If only I'd gotten a better photo shot.
As always, I appreciate your visit. Thank you so much for stopping in. Have a wonderful day...Aloha and God bless~

Never Forget...Pearl Harbor!

2009-12-07T15:30:00.001-10:00

Aloha all! Today, 68 years ago, was the day of America's entrance into WWII. I cannot express how much gratitude I have, for the great sacrifices given (by military and civilians), during that time. I cannot express how much gratitude I have for those whom continue to fight for our great country and, for the "freedom" that did not come cheap. Thank you to allllllllll of our veterans (past, present, & future)!

Here is a card that I just recently finished and posted on SSH. I was definitely feeling patriotic and what better time to share it than on a day that we honor, here in Hawaii...Dec. 7 Pearl Harbor.
The image used is from The Greeting Farm's set..."Rain, Snow, Shine", which was purchased from Little C's. In addition, the embellishments used, such as the DS ribbons, prima flowers, and buttons, are other items that may also be purchased from Little C's.
Be sure to pop on over to Little C's to start your early Christmas shopping. Jen's got some new arrivals, that are sure not to last. Cute, cute stamps from CC Designs. Gotta have those stamps!

Thank you for stopping by and blessing me with your visit. Have a very blessed day and Aloha~

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Challenge...Animals, Animals, Animals!

2009-12-04T09:00:00.007-10:00

It's Aloha Friday and you know what that means!?! It's challenge time over at SSH and this time it's all about them cute animals. For this week's challenge, I chose to use Whiff of Joy's "Henry Mouse w/ Large Teacup n' Marshmallow". He is just too cute and at Little C's, they carry several different images of Henry Mouse. Lots of great choices to select from. If you haven't done so by now, pop on over and pay Jen a visit. She would love it!

On this card, it was all about coloring and layering. Nothing too difficult, just fun.
Be sure to check out what the rest of SSH's DT has done with the animals of their choice.
Hope you will join us and we look forward to seeing your entry into this week's challenge. Till then...May you have a safe and blessed weekend in Jesus! Aloha and God bless~

The Greeting Farm Edward...

2009-10-29T08:59:00.006-10:00

Hope you all are having a wonderful Thursday. I have so much to catch up with in blogging, so many emails to respond to and...behind in lots of postings. I need to be better at this (lol). Thank you to those who have been so faithful and encouraging. You are truly the greatest!

Here is a card I created with much simplicity. I couldn't decide on the finishing touches nor the type of card I actually wanted to make. So I left plenty of space to add on, at a later date.

This image of Edward from The Greeting Farm was actually given to me as an image swap however, if you're in need of some great stamps from The Greeting Farm, check out what Little C's has available. Very cool stuff. Edward was colored, using SU markers. DS paper, ribbon and dew drops are items that can also be purchased at Little C's.

Thank you so much for stopping by. As always, I appreciate you. Aloha and God bless!

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Featured "Aloha" Blogger

2009-10-03T14:00:00.002-10:00

A big congratulations to Kyoko, for being SSH's Featured "Aloha" Blogger of the week. As I visit Kyoko's blog "Cards and Tags Mania", I cannot help but smile. She is so funny and it never fails to amaze me of how entertained I feel, while visiting her. It does not surprise me as to "why" her blog is full of RAKS both sent and received. As I would say...very loved and "blessed".

I was inspired as I came across Kyoko's Post-It Note Holders and decided to make one for someone whom is very close to my family. Because I decorated the front of the acrylic holder, I decided to use a solid color in the background. Omgosh the white crinkled paper is really gorgeous. Believe it or not, it is totally "handmade" paper. As natural, as paper can get.

The paper, the green fern leaves, the green squares with the white hearts, the orange flowers, the crimped tan paper, and the twine...ALL NATURAL! They are all part of the "All Natural Accents" line, which Little C's is very big on stocking. The only embellishment on this frame that is not natural, is the large prima flower.

This was actually a fun and quick project to put together. The hardest part, I would have to say, was the layout. That goes to show, how easy it was.

Well as always, I appreciate you stopping in. Have a very blessed day and Mahalo!

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Challenge #6...Dew Drops

2009-09-26T16:11:00.012-10:00

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend, so far. This week, SSH has a new challenge going on for you. Please be sure to pop on over and check out the complete details. There is some nice goodies just waitin', for a winner. Part of the challenge is to create, using dew drops. As you can see, I decided to create using red and green glass dew drops. Perfect for the strawberry DSP.

It was raining dew drops on this card and on the paper crafted ice cream cone as well. For this challenge I used one of Little C's newest items in stock, CC Designs "Sweet Kiki". It's kinda hard to tell but the ice cream cone Sweet Kiki is holding, is covered with stickles.

Here's a couple more ice cream cones that I created as a RAK, for some of the Glama Gurlz, at last month's gathering. I know...it's so sad that it took this loooooooong to post. The original cones were embellished with either pink brads or pink pearls. The latest cone (shown above), sportin' the pink dew drops, was actually created to fit in with my card theme and dew drop challenge. I was very pleased with how cute these cones (filled with mini candy bars) turned out. Though I must be honest, it was not my brilliance, intellectual thinking. The idea was cased and the template can be found by clicking here.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend and much blessings to YOU! Aloha...

Aloha all, hope your week is off to a fabulous start. Thank you for stopping in today as SSH celebrates Claudette of Islander Girl Stampin'...Congratulations to YOU for being this week's FAB!

This card I created, displays a layout I found and was inspired to use, while visiting "Islander Girl Stampin'". With this holiday season approaching, I pretty much knew the colors I was going to work with. I just needed a little help in deciding a layout and Claudette's blog is where I found it. Thank you Claudette! Here again, I used Autumn Trevor, one of Little C's newest stamp sets.
As with most of the images I use, coloring was done SU! markers.

This DSP is part of the "Fall Glitter Stack" by DCWV. Along with the glittery flowers, the sentiment too is part of this paper. I thought it was so pretty and just perfect. As you can slightly see from the first photo above, the inner part of the card was also completed. Sportin' a simple orange button. No sentiment was used, which is why there's no photo shot.

As always, you have blessed me with your visit today. Thank you for stopping in. Have a fabulous day. Aloha and God bless~

"Happy Harvest"...Autumn Trevor

2009-09-17T09:00:00.001-10:00

Aloha all, hope you all are having a very blessed day in the Lord. One of my latest cards I share with you, displays the "Autumn Trevor" stamp from CC Designs. This stamp set along with many of their other cute designs, are available at Little C's. While there, be sure to check out ALL of Little C's new arrivals. Can't wait to get more Sarah Kays.

I love this color combo and lately, I find myself creating a lot, using it. The designer ribbon and buttons were also items I purchased from Little C's awhile ago. These items, with it's warm "Fallish" (is there such a word???) colors fits in just perfectly. As on all my creations, the coloring is done, using SU! markers.

Fall is one of the prettiest seasons of the year. Especially the color changing of the leaves and the crispiness in the air. Oh how I miss that, living in Hawaii. On my card, the glittery tree in the background is a DSP that I was kinda hoarding (lol), until the right moment came along. Guess this is THE moment (lol). As for the sentiment "Happy Harvest", it's computer generated.

The sentiment for the inner part of the card was again, computer generated.

Thank you for stopping by. Blessings to you all...Aloha and God bless!

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Challenge #5...It's a Sketch!

2009-09-14T13:17:00.013-10:00

Hello everyone, although I'm a little behind in posting our SSH's Challenge for the week, I hope you will still be blessed by what Jen has challenged us with and join in. Pop on over and check it out for yourself. The special winner will receive one of the Popcorn Bear stamp sets from Little C's!

Here is the sketch we were all challenged with....

I loved this week's sketch, it was a fun one to work with. Along with the sketch, the SSH's DT were also challenged to incorporate "Popcorn Bear" in our creation and here is what I came up with...
This adorable set is called "Christmas Hugs". It's a very versatile set which can be used not only during the Christmas holidays but for other occasions as well. The DS paper is from Three Bugs..."Oh What Fun" kit. Which can also be purchased at Little C's. To touch it up a little, stickles were added to the yellow duck and Popcorn Bear's paws.

Here's a look of the inside. The sentiment used is also part of this "Christmas Hugs" set.
Although the inside has a fairly simple finish to it, I'm pleased as to how the overall card turned out. Hope you will be not only inspired but, excited at having a chance to win one of these adorable sets for yourself. So hurry on up and...create, create, create!

Thank you for stopping in. Have a very blessed day in the Lord. Enjoy and Aloha!

Cow Emma Celebrates The "Harvest"...Milk Carton Treat

2009-09-10T17:30:00.007-10:00

Aloha all! heading out the door but before I do, I'd like to share one of my latest with you. Here's one of Little C's newest stamps from CC Designs. Another cute image, the cutest, I think. Meet "Cow Emma", what a perfect way to show her off, then on a milk carton (lol), don't ya think!?!
This time of the year while many are off gettin' ready for Halloween, our household is preparing for a time of "Harvesting". "Harvesting" in the sense of, sharing the gospel with any and all those coming around for a treat. Which is why I chose "celebrate the...Harvest" as my sentiment. This sentiment was computer generated. Praise the Lord for today's technology, huh!?! So quick and easy.
These shimmery circular flowers were punched out from a DS paper, found in my scrap pile. The light green pearls and designer ribbon are just some, of the many embellishments, Little C's carries.
Be sure to go and check out all the the new stamp sets that Little C's now have AND all the new ones, soon to arrive. While you're at it, hop on over to Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii to peek at what the other DT's have been doing with these new stamps.

As always, thank you for blessing me with your visit today. Have a wonderful evening. Aloha and God bless!

2009-09-08T00:24:00.005-10:00

Hope you all are having a wonderful Tuesday, today's posting goes to Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Featured "Aloha" Blogger, Joy of A Place To Be Me.

Before I share with you the project I've been inspired by Joy, to create, let me first share with you this wonderful RAK she had sent to me months and months ago, during my MIA days (sorry for the loooooooooooong delay Joy). I loved it and was so encouraged to create one myself.
Although Joy is one sister that wears many hats, crafting is where she truly has a fine gift in. Pop over to her blog and you shall see what I mean. She can make everything and anything. She has, and will always be, such an inspiration to me. Thanks Joy!

This is what I came up with but...after really looking at it, I decided it was just too plain and will be dressing it up a wee bit more. Till then, this is the first take...
As you can tell, this envelope/folder is also a shaker box filled with a variety of pretty mini, mini beads. I lined the scalloped nestie with pink gem stones and the flowers are made of felt with more pink gem stones attached. Both the pretty gem stones and the beads can be purchased at LittleC's.
These are the actual images that Joy has blessed me with. I used them in my photo just to give you an idea of how well it fits. Nothing too fancy but very easy to make.
Thank you for stopping by today. As always...may you have a beautiful day in the Lord. Aloha and God bless!

Lookie...A Sarah Kay Accordion Purse...

2009-09-04T06:39:00.007-10:00

Happy "Aloha" Friday! I have a real quick one to share with you all today and then out the door I must go. Although I've created one of these purses previously, I wanted to take a shot at making another one and actually, I like the way this one turned out. IRL it's really pretty. Sorry for the fuzzy photos.

As I've shared before, I love the Sarah Kay images and as I've always mentioned, they just remind me of my girls. Which is why I chose to use this sweet little "Spring is Back" image. Pop on over to LittleC's and check out the big sale going on, especially the Sarah Kays...woohoohoo!

By the way, if I hadn't mentioned it yet, this is an Accordion type purse, inspired by Maria of Stampin' Inspirations. This type of purse can be very versatile. I plan to use it as a holder for the "Sarah Kay" card kit, that I will be working on very soon.

The bunches of flowers were all elevated, giving it a 3D appearance, using pop dots.
Although it may appear like a scuffed up flower button(lol), it's not. This button is actually formed from a coconut shell, with it's natural look. For a lil' flavor, I added a clear dew drop in the center of the button.

As always, I am so blessed by your visit. Have a wonderful day and...an awesome Labor Day weekend. Aloha and God bless~

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii Challenge #4...Buttons!

2009-08-30T22:15:00.010-10:00

Aloha all! The weekend is soon gone and another busy but wonderful week soon to begin. Hope your weekend was as beautiful as it was here, in Hawaii. Beautiful, beautiful weather.

Speaking of Hawaii, take a peek at this week's challenge on Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii. It's all about BUTTONS! Pop on over and see what the rest of the DT, has in stored for you. Then, come on and join in. There's a prize awaiting one lucky winner.

Here is my take on SSH's button challenge. This card was actually created prior to the challenge (like months ago) and given out as a RAK to some of LittleC's Glama Gurlz. The original (sorry no photo) was never posted on Heartful Stamping so I thought, "What better time to show case it, then through this button challenge!?!" So, I went to work and did a little adjusting to it. The original card was kinda more simplified with only two flowers and a dew drop. After the adjustment...here is what it looks like now.

The altered version has more flowers, ANA leaves, and of course, buttons.

"Tilda", flowers, and ANA leaves can all be purchased at LittleC's. Check them out and see the variety of products they carry, at such a great price.

Till the next time, I thank you for stopping by and blessing me with your visit. Have a wonderful week. Aloha and God bless

Aloha all! Hope you're having a fabulous weekend. It's a beautiful day here in Hawaii. We're off and on our way to the "How To Walk" conference hosted by KLHT radio and Calvary Chapel Honolulu. Although there are lots of great speakers scheduled, I am so looking forward to hearing Greg Laurie and his awesome testimony, once again.

Before we leave out the door however, I would like to share with you, SSH's featured "Aloha" blogger. As Jen (LittleC's) would put it... Queen of HK projects..... Enjoli Bennett!!! Pop on over to her blog and you shall see why. Although there were many, many great creations by Enjoli that inspired me, here is the one I chose to work with...cupcakes.

I saw this "Box of Cupcakes" awhile ago on Inking Idaho and has always wanted to create one. What better time to bring out Enjoli's work, I thought. I wasn't sure as to how, I would decorate the cupcakes until I went and browsed through Enjoli's blog and, taadah...there it was, a perfect cupcake.

This box is a very good size, designed to hold 6-8 embellished cards and envies.

This is what it looks like from the top, looking into the box through it's cupcake shaped window.

Here's a set of (4) standard cards created just for this cute box. The inner side of the cards have also been stamped and colored. Sorry no photo

Well, it's time to head out the door. Thank you for stopping in, till the next time...Aloha and God Bless.

Gathering Island Style...

2009-08-18T06:43:00.013-10:00

This past Saturday Teri (Big Ideas From a Little Girl) hosted an Island Girl event. A gathering to include some of the most talented, creative sisters on the island of Oahu. Omgosh, it was so much fun, laughter, prizes, projects, demos, bentos, AND...rootbeer floats! Although many of us have built our friendships through blogland, for several, it was the first time meeting in person. And yes, we had our "Wild" ones there too, whom I won't mention (KYOKO, DENISE, JOY, & LINDA-lol). But not to worry, the "Mellow" ones were also in the house like um...ME! (lol).

For my island sisters, I created this RAK, using an image from Dandelion Designs. It was a perfect fit for the theme I wanted..."Ladybugs". The candy holder was created using cricut's version of SU's Top Note and the idea, I cased from Dawn Easton (Treasure Oiler Designz)

A bunch of them...35 in counting.

Although two different sets were created, both consisted of yummy mints.

I feel so blessed to be a part of this fabulous group of women. All who attended and all who weren't able to make it, your friendship/sisterhood has blessed me immeasurably.

Mahalo to everyone who contributed to this awesome event. Every part of your efforts, was well appreciated. I cannot thank you enough. In addition, to all who attended, your presence made it more delightful. Thank you, thank you, thank you Teri for such a wonderful time. My daughter and I were truly blessed.

Stamp n' Scrap- Challenge #3

2009-08-16T06:21:00.012-10:00

First of all, hope you all are having a beautiful Sunday. Up early, ready to make breakfast for my wonderful hubby and beautiful girls, then off to some great fellowship in the Lord....church. Can't wait to hear what Pastor Bill will be teaching today.

Wanted to share a real quickie with you. This week's SSH challenge is to create something using this color combo AND...using images from Dandelion Designs. Not only does DD have the cutest lil' images but, they were so generous in sponsoring this week's challenge. I hope you will be inspired to join on in and check out what SSH have in stored for you. While there, have a look at all the other creations by SSH's DT.

I chose to create, using DD's "Good Pals" image and this is what I came up with. Something really fast and so last minute (lol). Why do I wait until (almost) the very LAST minute...I dunno!?! I guess I like the rush...hee, hee j/k. Just in case you're wondering...a pink dog!?! Yes...in our home we have pink dogs. Stuffed ones, that is (smile). Besides, I needed somehow to incorporate the color, what better way then to use the dog. The sentiment "Your friendship blesses me..." was computer generated. The note card(s) holder is cricut's version of SU's top note die and the tiny flowers were also cut using the cricut. I used CB embossing folders on the front of the holder and SU's slit punch to create the scallop edging. Each note card measures at 3x5.

I am very blessed by your visit today. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day with your family and friends. As always...Aloha and God bless!

Aloha everyone and what a beautiful day in Hawaii, it is. Thank you Lord!

Just in case you haven't heard, let me bless you with this week's SSH's featured "Aloha" blogger. Please help me celebrate Chalsie of Paper Kisses. If you're not familiar with Chalsie's work by now, you MUST pop on over to her blog and check out the variety of ideas she has. You will be so inspired. I totally am!

Anyhow, for this week, the DT of SSH was challenged to share a part of Chalsie's work, that has inspired us. So with that being said, I share with you these cute cocoa holders/pouches which were fairly easy, quick, and fun to make. It'll be perfect for my 11 y/o's sleepover, soon to come. They will love it.

For now, I created a set of three...

Here is Mermaid Anya, sportin' some purple gems in her hair...

Next we have Angel Anya, with her silver (stickled) halo...

Last is Princess Anya, with her gold (stickled) crown...

A small tab was attached to the lower part of the inner pocket, which will be tucked over and through the slit on the front cover. Securing the whole pouch.

The inner pocket actually can hold a little more than just the cocoa packet. So we (my 11 y/o & I) decided to add a little bag of mini marshmallows (soon).

To check out the rest of the DT and their creations, please pop on over to Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii. Hope you'll be encouraged and...create, create, create. Till then, have a wonderful weekend, thank you for stopping in, and God bless! A L O O O O O H A....

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii- Challenge #2

2009-07-31T14:30:00.000-10:00

Happy Aloha Friday and hope your day is just as beautiful, wherever you may be, as it is in Hawaii. This has got to be one of the most beautiful days, anyone could ask for. Bright, sunny, blue skies, and a nice breeze with the fragrance of the plumeria flowers in the air. Wow!!! God is truly so good and it is by His hands that this great beauty was created. My girls are off in the family room entertaining one another and just laughing and giggling away. I love it. As their mommy, it blesses my heart to hear (and see) the joy in their spirit and their little hearts. I am truly blessed. Thank you Lord!

Now, as for the week's SSH challenge, we were given this very beautiful image to work off of. Check out those colors. Don't they make the prettiest combo? Yes, the layout and details are great but...I was so inspired by the color combo. Very gorgeous and vibrant. However I selected only certain colors to work with and this is what I ended up with...

I was so inspired by the beautiful Accordion bags/purses that Maria (Stampin' Inspirations...) created and decided to take a try at it. My 11 y/o needed a gift holder to put her little bags of trinkets in, that she will be giving to one of her girlfriends. Perfect! I had the perfect gift holder in mind, for her. So there I went, on to creating it. Of course I geared toward the younger age.

I love the "Girlie" images from Penny Black. As I mentioned earlier, it reminds me much of my girls. This image "Always Here", the DS paper kit "Blossom", and the designer ribbons are just a few of many items sold at Little C's.

Just as any other project, the measurements of this Accordion Purse can be adjusted according to one's needs. In our case, this will suit the need of the little trinket gift bags just perfectly.

Purse Details:
Stamp: "Always Here" by Penny Black (Little C's)
Paper: "Blossom" kit by Three Bugs...(Little C's)
Ink: SU! markers
Accessories: ribbons, stickles, designer brad, scallop & circle punches, oval nesties, CB Dots folder.

I appreciate you stopping by. Pop on in at Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii to check out what the rest of the DT's came up with. Hope you will be inspired. Till then...Aloha and God bless~

Always Remember...

2009-07-28T22:23:00.007-10:00

This evening I share with you a project we did at Jen's (Pieces of Me), for the Glama Gurlz gathering. I kinda added a little more embellishing (just a tiny bit) than what the sample showed. To get a better idea, check out this really cute one done by Jen and...for more flavor, check out Maria's, whom the actual idea originated from. Thanks Jen and Maria. It was fun!

I used digital images from Nancy Kubo designs, scallop circle nesties, pink gem stones, cuttlebug folder, DS paper, and both solid & printed ribbon.

I decided to go all "Stickled" out which began with the flower. The sentiment "Always remember..." is a sticker from one of my paper kits.

The pretty lil' butterfly is also with stickles.

Here's a peek of the inside. Left side is intended to post little notes, using the butterfly magnet. Yes, there's a magnet somewhere under him (lol). Right side holds a mini calendar and a pad of "Post It's". A decorated pen was also included but... I think some sticky little fingers got a hold of it. And now, the pen disappears, ugh.......

Thank you for stopping by. Till tomorrow...Aloha and God bless~

As to many of you, Michelle has been such an inspiration to me in many ways. However when I think of Michelle's creations, the first that comes to mind, are all the many projects she so easily puts together. I love her variety in bags and totes, which is why I chose to create off of her "Tote Bag with Matching Note Cards".

And, here is my version...

This cute tote holds (4) 3x3 note cards with envies and... there's still lots more room to throw a few extra goodies in it, believe it or not.

Project Details:

Paper: DCWV DS Paper (LittleC's)

For You...

2009-07-23T18:00:00.001-10:00

Just wanting to share another Sarah Kay image with you. This one is named "Fannys Cuddle" and as always, loved it as soon as I saw it.
Viewing it a little closer up, shows the inner part of the card as well.
and tah dah...the inner side, simply done. I just recently started adding to the inner parts of my cards (I hadn't before). In my opinion, it adds such a COMPLETE look to it. Don't you think!?!

Card Details:
Stamp: "Fannys Cuddle" (Sarah Kay), sentiment (SU!)

2009-07-21T18:00:00.000-10:00

Aloha everyone...welcome to the very first challenge for Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii. Yep you heard correctly, the very first. We are so excited and couldn't wait to start creating and sharing. My DT sisters and I, were all challenged with this very first sketch, proposed to us by the very talented Jen of Little C's. Postings of creations for this very sketch has been going up all week so be sure to pop on in and check out the fabulous work. While there, be sure to leave some words of encouragement. Hopefully you will be inspired to jump in and join us for some fun. Would LOVE to see what you can make of this sketch.

Take a peek at my creation for this sketch. For more details on my card, please visit Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii.

Sharing the view from a different angle. Love those flowers and leaves which are All Natural Accents, purchased at Little C's.

As always, I've enjoyed and appreciate your visit. Be blessed and A L O H A!
