Card: "Baby Shower"

A dear friend of mine is having a baby in August. She is due with their third baby girl. She had asked me if I could do some cards for her for her baby shower. So I thought it would be a perfect gift to go through the mail. Seance she lives in North Carolina and I'm in Hawaii.... :)

So here is what I came up with!!! Lyuba I hope you'll like the cards. Wish we lived closer so I could attend your Baby Shower!!! May the Lord Bless you and your new baby girl!!! :) 3 girls are a lot of FUN!!!!!

I stamped the flowers on too the white card first then stamped the pink paper with a silver/brown pigment ink pad. The pink paper is embossed with some dots, got it like that from the craft store.





I didn't have enough of the pink paper so I used the left overs. But I still like the way it came out. This is what the card looks like with the smaller peace.






Used:
CTMH Rustic Flower stamp set.
Amercian Crafts "Baby" stamp set
CTMH Bubblegum and Garnet ink pads.
SU Classic Black ink pad
Pick pigment ink pad
Silver/Brown pigment ink pad

*Ribbon
*Flowers
*Brads


Thanks for looking and I hope you liked the cards!!!! :)

Beautiful wedding!!!! and "Just Married" sign!!!!

This was one of my last projects for the wedding that I was helping out with. I had a lot of fun doing it.

The wedding was June 27, 2009 and it was such a beautiful, personal and intimate wedding. No one had a dry eye in the room. It was just beautiful. You could just see God's presence in the wedding and the love that the groom and bride have for each other. I cried and laughed through the wedding ceremony and through the reception.

This is me and my husband at the reception with the bride and groom.



Bride and Groom right after the ceremony when people got to walk up to them and congratulate.



I just love these photos of them walking outside after the wedding ceremony.





And here is the sign that I did for their car. We (the Bride helped) used a foam board to attach all of these fun things too and then the groom attached it to the car.



Used: Plantin SchoolBook, Lyrical Letters, Eccent Essentials cartridges.
Chocolate chalk.
Stickles.
Flowers.
Jewels for the middle of the flowers.

Close up of the corners.





And here it is on the car.



Thanks for looking!!! :)

10 "Thanks" cards....

While my sister was here I got to do some cards for her to use for her new business. I'll have to tell you all about her business one day. :)

My friend Ivy let me borrow two of her cricut cartridges "Mini Monograms" and "Pooh and Friends". I have to tell you that these cartridges are absolutely awesome. They have so many fun things on them. I just love them and they are on my list to get that's for sure... :)

So anyways here are the cards. They are simple not too elaborate cards. One day when I grow up I'll learn how to stamp and color stamped images the right way.





















Used:
For these cards I used the "Mini Monograms" cart. I cut out scalloped circles and squares in all different sizes and the "Thanks" word was cut out in 1 inch size.

Flower stamps that I have.

Jewels, ribbon, some brown chalk and just other things here and there.

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!

We are getting ready to go to our Church 4th of July picnic. Softball and Volleyball are on the game plan... and LOTS of good food... :)

Later we are planing on going to the beach with my sister and her husband and watch the fire works show. Hopefully there will be parking... :)

Happy 4th!!!!!!!

Mangoes, mangoes, mangoes....

The girls and I got to pick our first mangoes this season off of our mango tree today. I was so excited!!!!
We are having a lot less mangoes this year but still there's plenty to share with friends on the island. Wish we could mail them but we can't, because my parents would LOVE to have some.

Fresh mango off of a tree are so much better then from the store. I didn't used to like mangoes until I tried right off of a tree.... and YUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! It was so good!!!

Here are some pictures of the mangoes that we picked today. I think we got around 9.



These are really nice size. We do get some that are much bigger then this. Those are really cool. :)


Yummmm!!!! They are in the fridge right now waiting for tomorrows morning. :)

My sister is flying in tonight....

I can not wait to go to the airport and pick up my oldest sister and her husband tonight. :)

I cleaned the house yesterday. Washed everything that there was to clean. But I'm paying for it today. My body hurts.... My arms hurt from scrubbing... but my house is CLEAN! :) Woohoo!!!

Hoping to do some cards with my sister while she's here..... and go to the beach!!! :)
