My 50 Christmas Card Class
Here's Fay, Michelle & Sandy sitting up close to get the best view of the cards on display.
Rae-Lynn is at the stamping table. Yes, I had one table to do all of the stamping and cutting. This worked out well too. Everyone bought their own tool kit so they could move along without waiting for tools.
A shout out to my "posse" Wini and Irene for coming to my rescue by helping me cut the scrapbook kits for everyone! THANK YOU LADIES! I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!! Having the kits on back order from SU kind of threw me off. Originally, everyone was to cut their own papers, but we ended up cutting all the papers for everyone. If you attended my class, please let me know if you enjoyed it, if it was too much. Feedback is good for me so I can plan other classes. Next month, Christmas tags!! 50 sounds like a good number...
A Fabulous RAK from Liann!!

All Kine Ways challenge and a simple card
I didn't think that I'd have time to do Jen's challenge this week, but I did! Here's what I came up with:
I love this Moose You stamp set. For the first card, I used my swirl CB folder for the background and then used my papers from the prints sampler. I used the ticket punch for the corners and added gold brads. The flower is from the same stamp set.
This second card I liked better. I used some ds paper (I forgot the name of the paper!! Giga circle punch and mega scallop circle. Vintage violet stitched ribbon and my white gel pen (I just love that pen!). The lavendar background is also paper from the sampler pack. I like the second card better.
I've been struggling the past few days trying to work on my thank you cards to those who blessed me with birthday gifts...sometimes I get this mental block because I want to do something really cute, but since I have too many things to do, I'm trying to keep it simple and because I have many to make. Here's one that I finally liked...TFL! Last thing...just had to say that I'm so glad that Hurricane Flossie turned into a tropical storm instead...we are all safe, thank goodness!

A RAK from Cassandra
My gals make 50 Christmas cards!
We did it! Today was our demonstrator DL class to make the 50 Christmas cards using the Winter Bright Simply Scrappin scrapbook kit. There were 8 ladies who came to make their cards and were successful! Yay! Good job, ladies!!


Here's a few pics of the gals hard at work! Most finished under 4 hours. We had a late start because while we were waiting for the whole group to come, we sat down to look at all of the wonderful RAK cards I've been receving! Of course we had to stop for a bite to eat too. It was another scorcher of a day (really hot and muggy weather) and although we were outside in the garage where supposidly those tradewinds were supposed to be blowing, they seemed to have been a little lost because boy, were we roasting!! To make things worse, we have a hurricane coming our way, oh my! Sorry guys, I don't have A/C!! But that's okay...we enjoyed pizza, salad, brownies, donuts, iced tea/water...in the heat and all had a good time. Thanks for coming ladies!! 

For this class, I had the tables set up as classroom style and it worked out great! I put all the cards on a poster board and hung it up so everyone could see. Here's Wini and I posing by the sample board. Thanks for stopping by!

It doesn't get any better than this!
I got another gift from Joy & Taelyn. These are some great products from TLC...rub ons, ribbon, chipboard, bling - all my favorites!! Also got a cute Sizzix frame diecut and a cute chipboard tag. Her card is so simple and elegant. I know you can't see the glitter, but there's glitter on the card and tag and it even got on my face! I love it, so shiny! Thank you Joy & Taelyn! Okay, now I know all of you are thinking that I'm such a spoiled brat huh! I am. And, just when you thought I would stop posting more gifts, I received another wonderful surprise. Jen popped by my office this morning and dropped off this package. Wowee!!! These gifts are from Wini & Jen. In addition to these goodies, I also received the latest issue of Cards - love this magazine!!

Invitation for a Baby Shower
My favorite cousin, Jilly T and I are coordinating a baby shower for a really sweet friend. She and her hubby own **Berry Sweet Bath & Body** over in Kaimuki. If you've never visited her shop, you just must! It's the cutest bath boutique with the greatest products!! My favorite - Body Souffle! Anyway, I promised Jill that I would make the invitations and you all know last minute me...finally got my act together and here's what I came up with.
Let me know what you think! Carri is having a baby girl and her name will be Kira. She even selected butterflies and her color theme - pink & brown. Those colors are pretty hot (they're MY fave).
Ingredients for this invitation: Pretty in Pink, Creamy Caramel and Very Vanilla cardstock, Creamy Caramel and Pretty in Pink ink pads, Bold Butterfly stamp set (retired), pink taffeta ribbon. For the favors, I'm thinking of using an acetate box with one butterfly on it and the pink ribbon. Probably some dinner mints inside? Will post when I get the final product! Thanks for stopping by!Oh, by the way, if you are interested in checking out the Berry Sweet products, I will be helping Carri & Eric out at the Made In Hawaii Fair over at the Blaisdell Center next weekend - August 17, 18 and 19. Otherwise, if you miss us there, you can visit the shop at 3478 Waialae Avenue (across from Harry's Music). Phone 732-5100...
More cards to share!
Also received these beauties from my DL gals...here's a card I received from Joyce. I love the Groovy Guava color and the hodge podge! Thanks Joyce!
And here is a card I received from
Monique. The card was made by Jodie, Mo's blog partner in crime. Thanks Mo & Jo!! Love the card.
Thanks ladies for the fabulous cards and for the wishes for my 39th birthday!! (wink, wink!)
A card for Mike-O
Saying goodbye is hard, don't you agree?? Michael, a very cool guy at the Hawaii State FCU took a new position and so we had to say *goodbye*. Here's a card I whipped up right before leaving for work on Friday. It turned out not so bad! I used a white pocket folder, trimmed the top a bit and folded it accordian style. It gave me 4 pockets. I've posted similar projects using this folder before including my Cruise Wow! swap. Anyway, here's what I came up with
Here's what went inside of the pockets. In the last pocket, I included a Jamba Juice gift card. Fun card/gift! I used paper from 3 bugs, chipboard monogram "M" from CTMH that I sponged on with old olive ink, the new 5/8" old olive grosgrain ribbon from SU, a cute teddy bear sizzix sizzlet die and the font called airplane by 2 peas. Thanks for stopping by!

"I am guessing that you are around my age? Dare I say it! Uhm.... 37. :-) So do you want to be sweet 16 again? So there you have my two guesses.Again, birthday blessings to you! Big SMILES, NG."
Hey Nancy, please email me your address so I can send off these goodies to you!
After I posted this contest, I realized that I had to disclose my real age in blogland when I chose a winner...OMG! Well, here goes - my real age is 47 and I'd really like to be 39. So, in order to get to that age, I told my son that for every birthday that I celebrate, I'm counting backwards!! What do you think?? Haha! He thought I was nuts.
Thanks to all who played. More fun giveaways soon! Big hugs to you guys!

Hey! It's my birthday! let's celebrate!
Thank you all for the many special birthday wishes! I want to share ALL of the wonderful cards and gifts I received. I'll have to post these over the next few days otherwise the posting will be too long! Here's a special card I received from Wini. Love the embossed background and the strawberries are embossed too! So sweet! Thanks Wini!
I also got this wonderful gift from Sherry. Making Memories Cheeky Jigsaw Shapes, a tank top from TAJ and a cute birthday card too! Thanks Sherry!
So you all want to help me celebrate?? Okay! To celebrate my birthday, I'm going to be giving away a small gift since I received so many gifts, it's now my turn to give! I'd like to give away 12 of these Autumn Leaves birdie images that I stamped with the stamps I received today. I punched them out with my circle punch. I also included 12 scallop giga circles punched from different color cardstock including some designer paper ones and a bunch of ribbons. All you have to do is to guess my real age and what age I'd really like to be all over again and why. Not too hard. I'll pick a winner on Sunday, August 5th. Good luck! For those of you who know my real age, what a head start huh! Guessing what age I'd love to be and why will be fun for me to read! More birthday celebration tomorrow!!
