Easter Goodies Sale

I made a bunch of these for people to buy to give for Easter to teachers, neices, nephews, etc.

A lot of kids are still yet into Angry Birds!

These are goodies I had bought a month ago at a clearance sale

I knew it'd come in handy one day

I stuffed the boys' goodie bags with these candies

The girls' had Bath & Body bacterial hand gels, lip balms, and nail polish


Rather than buying grass I shredded my colored papers to stuff the goodie bags

These are some ideas to share to make some money with things you already have

I didn't buy anything to make these projects for Easter

Grad Cards

It's graduation time! Gosh how time flies. Before I know it, I'll be making grad cards for my kids!

I resized the digi Anya image smaller so I could put 3 of them on. I also detached the cap to show she's jumping.

Here's another one I made of her with a chalkboard.

Check out this shelf!

My friend Kyoko had this shelf posted on her blog.

Her DH made it just for her copic markers!!

So I asked if I could buy one for my everyday accessories. I found that it's so convenient to have it all in one place rather than all over the craft table. It makes it much easier to work.

I thought it would be good to put wooden stamps too!


Or even punches!!

I liked the way I could store my punches so I ordered another shelf. If you would like to order one (or two) let me or Kyoko know.

Cupcake Apron

I totally love cupcakes and have been looking for an apron!

I just received the shipment and it's CUTE!!

Let me know if you're interested in ordering.

Happy Girl's Day!

I made 15 of these boxes. They're for my husband to give to all the girls at work for Girl's Day tomorrow. I filled them with furikake arare and cheese okaki. Now that I think about it, I should've taken a picture of them too.

Also, we just moved into our new house! I can't wait to get settled in and have a partay!!

Valentine

Just wanted to share a couple of the ones I made for Valentine's Day. The "I loaf you" is a stampin up set for Hostess in the old catalog. In that same set is the "donut be sad" stamp that I previously posted. The second card is using the Himawari image. Isn't she cute?

Valentine Treats

I had to make 60 of these 3x3 cards so far. In (1) order I included 30 cards with their choice of M&M's or Jelly Beans. The idea was for a child to give away to their classmates for Valentine's Day.

Birthday RAKs

Happy New Year to you all! This is way overdue but here are the BRAKs I received last month. Didn't have time to post them so here they are.

Nicky was so very thoughtful and made these cupcakes for my work place!

She knows I love cupcake designs and made this wonderful card!

Joni gave me this HK Sizzix die

Card Joni made for me

Kyoko gave me this Nestabilities

Here is the card Kyoko made

Toni gave me all these goodies

~~THANKS for all my goodies and for thinking of me on my birthday!!~~

All kinds of stuff!

Thought of my best friend when I made this.

She's a Twilight freak!

Sweet Treat Birthday Card

Yeah, I know - WOW amazing!! I finally posted something. More like I actually made something =P It's been a while but I'm trying to get back in action with craft fairs coming up. Thought I'd make a birthday card for a friend. I had these sweet treat cups from SU! for a long time and haven't used them. I just added buttons for her to use rather than candy. Hope she likes the card!

For Nicky

I made these treats for Nicky. We had dinner the day before she left to D.C. Thought I would give her treats for her plane ride.

Cool Stuff!

I'm posting this late but last month I won this blog candy from Amy. She has some nice card creations so go check her blog out =} I can't wait to use these stamps and stuff she gave. I'm sorta broken for a while. I slammed my finger in the van door and haven't done a card since. It really sucks!!

My friend told me of the new products that are releasing from CTMH and

knows how I am totally into bags and stuff. So this rolling carryall and tote I had to get. I love the color and also because I am always lugging my stuff to people's houses to craft. It's a convenient way to travel. But I think I'll make more use of them on my Vegas trip =} I think it'll be good to take them on the plane.

House Collection Set 2

Wow, this is one big set Elizabeth created! Aren't they all so cute? It sure took me a while to figure out what to do. But I was thinking something like a framed picture rather than a card. This week's element along with the image is flowers of any type. I used the Marvy Uchida 2" punch to make the squares along the edges. I just had to use that paper because I really liked the colors. The buttons and pearl adhesives I used for the tree and bush is from Close To My Heart. The flowers are Petaloo Dazzles from Memory Works and I made her cap a little furry using the q-tip cotton.

Tommy Train

Tommy Train

Yay. My second week on the design team and I feel I'm getting the hang of it. This week Tracey and I were given a couple of images and two patterned papers to print from Elizabeth. We got the stars background which I cut and spaced apart and also, the matching stripes that I made going across. This image is Tommy Train. Originally, I printed two of these images. One of him in the size you see and I printed another in a much bigger size to get the train like that. I also printed the bird from another Tommy image so I could cover the part where I pulled the train from. So voilà! There it is..hope Elizabeth enjoys the card.







Please visit the other DT's link from my previous post to see what kind of images they were given. I can't wait to see what they've created too!

~Taking Care of Flowers~

Last month Elizabeth of Softpencil from Argentina asked me to be her guest designer for the month of August and I gladly accepted. Each week they are given one of her designs and are assigned elements to use. This week it's this image called, "Taking care of flowers" and we are to use bows and buttons. So this is what I came up with.

By the way, look at my banner above!! It was created by Elizabeth =) She asked what I like and I said cupcakes. Since I didn't have a banner she created one just for me. Isn't that a SWEET thing of her to do?? I just LOVE it!!!

Fun Sunday With Friends

Denise held this huge get together at her place and a BIG thanks to her and her family for letting us all come and srap all day long! It was such a fun day that went by super fast. I think we did a lot of laughter and talking than we did crafting. Oh and not to mention the eating!! It was great meeting new people and especially other bloggers. It's nice to see in person who's leaving you a comment on your posts =}

And now to share the RAKs!!

I gave a decorated baby food jar filled with ribbons

and a bag full of digital images which I forgot to take a pic of
