So Excited!!!!

Hello Peeps!

This past weekend was super fun!  Island Scrapbooking in Hilo celebrated their 10th Anniversary with a big sale, prizes, make 'n take by Jenny, release of 2 new product lines (Yumi and Fumi - woo-hoo, and Elephant Mama), cake, AND a birthday card contest.   So I decided to give it a shot and make a card.   While trying to "think outside the box" I came up with this Bendi Fold card.   Here's the link to the tutorial:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/bendifold/

Can you believe I worked on this card for 5 days??????  Yup, no kidding.  LOL.   But it was so worth the time because I'm so excited....I won.   Jump for joy...yay!!!! 

This card has 3 parts, the background piece, left flap, and right flap.  The left flap has a tab that is inserted into a slit on the background piece.  The right and foremost flap has a tab that is inserted into the left flap.  

The darling cutie is "Miyoko" by Sister Stamps.   I paper-pieced her kimono with washi paper.  Oh, I just adore her sweet and innocent pose.

Here's a pix with the front flap opened......

Here's a pix with both flaps opened...

Here's a view from the top......

Here's a pix of the scrapbooking bag I won that was filled with LOTS OF CRAFTY GOODIES.....

And here are the goodies.....

Donation of Magnetic Caddy and Calendar Sets - Proceeds to the American Cancer Society

Hi Peeps!

Been crafting away with more items to donate for an upcoming craft fair.  Proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society.

I used the "Bag, Caddy" die by Sizzix for this simple and fun project.   Then trimmed it with a colorful stripe DP by Doodlebug.  The image is from the "Flower Girl Set" by Dandelion Designs which I inked up with Copics.   The caddy holds a notepad and mini pen.  Scroll down for a lavendar caddy.

Here are 3 of them.....

And  here are 3 calendars with matching DP.   I'll make 3 sets to include a caddy and calendar. Both  have magnetic strips on the back, perfect to put on the refrigerator side-by-side.

Here's a lavendar caddy.

It's so nice to hear the pitter-patter of rain for a change especially since it's been so HOT lately, even in the town I live in which is usually cool.  

Here's another batch of Christmas cards I pumped out. I must thank my sweet cuz for the darling sweet penguin image & die by Poppy Stamps she sent me last year.  My mojo was "on vacation" last year but kicked in this year for a holiday idea....yay!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU CUZ!!!!

Here are 6 of them......

OMGosh, I must share this punch with you.  Have you ever seen a punch like this one????   It was probably the very first punch I ever purchased and that was years ago.  Until now, I never used it and would you believe I tried to sell it for a quarter at a rummage sale?  Thankfully, no one bought it because I've now made good use of it creating the little scene on the cards above and I plan to keep it.  It looks so ancient yah? LOL.
