OCS #2 and a few cards

My second OCS! I'm having a great time meeting so many creative people :)

This month, my OCS partner was Berenice. Check out her blog here. Cute stuff!

She used the digi WS Rain Rain from TGF.

I've included the card i made for her in return. I used Sugar Plums Spring Emma from CC Designs available for purchase here and a stamp from One of a Kind set from SU! Image was colored with copics.

Also, 2 Thank You cards i made for my gf's who sent RAKs for the hubby on his promotion. Domo Claudette and Christhene for your friendship and thoughtfulness!!
As always, TFL and have a great day!

Mahalo Liann!

What a nice surprise!

My gf Liann stopped by today and played Easter Bunny to my kiddos and moi!

She's always so sweet to remember us during the holidays... and then some!

Mahalo Liann for the wonderful treats and yummy craft items!

Fun Mail!

Yesterday, i was delighted to open my mail box and see a package from my gf Claudette! So thoughtful of her to send stuff for the whole family :)

She even went so far as to send my dh a congratulatory card with the coin for his promotion! Oh, but it didnt end there... they (Mike, Claud and Roxy baby) also included a GC to Red Lobster!! Yum-O!! You know me well Peks, DOMO ARIGATO!!

Cheers to awesome friends!!

Get Well Kyra and an Easter Tag

I recently purchased this digi called Sick Lily from Pink Cat Studio so that Nina (dd) could make a get-well card for her friend Kyra. I love PCS images and they've really expanded their line of digis, so hop on over there and grab some!!

I was just using up some of my DP scraps and came up with this card.

Also, i needed to make quick tags for these candles i made for dd's teacher and bus driver.

I used the Terrific Tulips set from Stampin Up to make the chick, and the HAPPY EASTER from the All Year Cheer set, also from SU!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

My First OCS

This month was the first time i accidentally joined an OCS given by Teri. I say accidentally because i didn't know that when i left a comment, it automatically put me on the OCS list. But, it was the best thing ever and i met a sweet lady - DORI TSUKAMOTO =) This was her 3rd swap. I sent her the Billy Card from PCS and she sent me the easel card pictured above - VERY CUTE! This OCS thing is pretty fun as you get the opportunity to meet such creative people!

Thank you Teri for including me, it was a great experience!

Spring is Here!

Aaaccccchhhhoooo! Spring is here! It actually came early this year in WA, but no complaints here! It's been beautiful!

Today was my son's last day of Pre-school before Spring Break, so i made these SUPER EASY gifts for his teacher to celebrate the arrival of Spring and soon, Easter :)

These are horrible pictures as you can't really see the project, but it's just a simple vanilla candle wrapped with a strip of cardstock and dp, topped off with Prima Silk Flowers and a brad in the middle to hold it all together =) I threw in some Hershey Chocolate Eggs, tied the celo bag with Pink Gingham ribbon, green ric-rac, and made the tag from the Easter Egg Chicks digital image from Pink Cat Studios. Voila! Easy peasy Lemon Squeezee!!

Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY SPRING =)

RAK

Thank you Liann for this cute RAK! I was one of the lucky ones to receive a beautiful tag! Yipee! Can't wait to learn this technique! Check out all her great creations here!

Prima Give-Away

WOW!! Check out this HUGE give-away from Prima!! How exciting!!

Nina's card

My DD wanted to make a card for her BFF in San Diego, and this is what she came up with. I just helped her with the Big Shot :)

Birthday Gift part 2

So i finally finished this project! Claud was laughing at me because i wanted to just throw the cards in a cellophane bag, tie a ribbon around it and call it a day! I'm so sleepy... but i managed to put a box together to hold the cards and envelopes. I still threw it in a bag though =) And added a little "T" for Terrie, sticky note pad =) Ok... for realz now... off to bed...zzzzzzzz...

Birthday gift

Today Jonah's Teacher celebrated her ?th birthday =) Happy Birthday Ms. Terrie!
I'm a bit low on creative juice, and it took me FOREVER to come up with these cards. I hope she likes them anyway :)

Valentine Treats

Good Morning :)
Here are some of the Valentine Treats i made for the kids to give to their classmates and teachers :) SUPER easy stuff as i had to make A LOT of them!
Thanks for stopping by :) Have a great Tuesday!

French Memo Board

I've always wanted to make one of these, and what better time than now to get a jump start on Spring Cleaning?! It was SUPER easy to make! The original idea called for Hemasote board... but no one knew what i was talking about when i went on the hunt for it at Home Depot and other craft stores! So i went with a canvas board instead :)
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Cupcakes anyone?

Valentine's Day is around the corner!! Bath and Body works had an awesome sale on their winter socks - $1.87 each! I made them into little cupcakes - lifted this idea from Lauren Meader's Bun In The Oven :) Click here: http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/index.php

I hope my lady friends from the hood like these :)
