Been Busy!!!

Two months has came at went...YES I was busy...busy at work, at home, parties, and believe it or NOT - I was busy CREATING...

Card for MJ's last day at work. It's a small tri-cut card that can fit in a regular small envelope.

This is the inside of the -Tri-cut Shutter card

 

 

The Larger Tri-Shutter Card is on the left - that will fit a regular #9 envelope. I made 2 of these sides to make a bigger card.

Another Tri-Shutter Card- for Logan's first birthday - the MIDDLE panel can fit a regular GIFT CARD exactly... ;)

Altered 4x6 Mini Album

Got these plain 4x6 clear mini photo albums at the dollar store. (99 cents marukai) - decided to JAZZ it up a little. (see below)

Just cut DESIGNER paper to fit (about 4-1/4 x 6 ") and added text and embellishments. VIOLA! ;)

Mom's Flowers (again....)

This is NOT  plumeria - no smell...
same family maybe

Gate Fold Birthday Card for Genna - smaller version

This is a smaller version of the gate fold card I made earlier this week. It's like a 4x6 size.

And here's the inside. Her birthday party is tomorrow - so I guess I kind of rushed the card. .... PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT I SAY! ;)

Gift Card for Co-worker

Not sure who this character is - I know it's a Digistamp from Greetings Farm... (I think her name is Angela)

This digistamp character reminds me of my co-worker. ;) I found the original instructions from this website:

Whiff of Joy Blogspot - her creation is smaller than this one - this uses 8x12 cardstock. (email me if you want the dimensions/directions.)

I put a "good bye" sentiment/poem and a note for her to read (it's enclosed w/ her initial) 

This is how the note looks when it is opened.

This is how it looks on the side.

I hope she likes it - I packed it with a few of her fave things - some victoria's secret set of lip glosses, lotion (made with HEMP...not that she likes hemp OFCOURSE!!! HE HE HE), A Roxy Shirt (which isn't pictured) and some recipe cards (filled with recipes of desserts I've made for the staff in the past - which I know she liked...NOT sure if she'll ever make it - maybe she can find someone in Virginia who'll make it for her! - HA...I know she'll do that..)

Gate Fold Card - for a Dear Co-worker (and FRIEND) that's Leaving.

Sad to say - one of my co-workers - one of many that have decided to leave the company, has decided to leave Oahu and live in Virginia.  She was a GREAT asset to the company and we are all sad to see her leave. I decided to make a Gate-Fold Card and have everyone sign it to give to her on her last day. (along with a going away gift...hope she likes it. ;)

This is the front - I left the side panels and the inside panels pretty "bare" so people could write their own sentiments.

Didn't have a big enough envelope for this card - it's bigger than a 5x7 envelope... so I improvised - I sealed the 5x7 envelope (just enough so that it could fit this card it's about 6x6 a little over...) then I sliced about an inch off one side - so I could easily insert the card. (like a cd cover.?) - Then I decorated the front .

Hope she likes it!

I wanted to add - that wherever she may go and end up - she'll always be a success - she's got a really good head on her shoulders and a good sense of how people are. (and not to mention - she can do the BESTEST impersonations of people I've ever seen!!! ..)

Take Care and Best Wishes!

Fathers Day 2010

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all you dad's out there. This year we decided to make a card. With the help of my 2 boys we made a SQUASH CARD. I like making these... only trouble - couldn't find an envelope to fit it since it's about 4 x4 in size... didn't have time to create one. (oh well...)

 

This is the front. I had some scrap papers that I couldn't bare to throw away - so I cut them into strips and "tried" to make a quilt looking thing..(not sure if I acheived it.) - attached this CUTE surfer digital stamp. (can't remember the  name of the artist - she was Japanese..I know that for sure)...

                                             The inside I enclosed some RECENT photos of the kids (and me...which isn't recent...he he he) I asked (forced) the kids to write some "kind" words about why they liked their dad. 

Ian (my little one) wrote

• "..thank you for being nice to us.."
• "...thanks for washing my back..."
• "...thanks for help with my homework...and m.m.a." (hmmm..need to ask about that)
• "...I love you dad...love Ian..."
• "...AND stop being mean to me!!!"... (ok wait... contradiction..?...)

Jakob (my eldest wrote):

• "....thank you for bringing us food to eat..."
• "...dad is nice to us..."
• "...dad cooks food and does things for us..."

KIDS are FUNNY... if you don't have any yet... Have some... you'll be in for a TREAT!!!
