A Cute Asian Card

Those of you that personally know me knows that I like making and receiving cutsey cards using a variety of stamps from different companies.  I especially like cutsey Asian cards.  My friend Grace made me this amazingly cute card using one of the new stamps from Sister Stamps.

I love it!  Check out all the detail in the card as well as her great coloring with Copics.  Thanks for coming by to see what I have to share today.

A Cup of Tea

I made my friend Gail this card for her b-day.  Her b-day was back in April, but I just kept forgetting to post it.  Both of us enjoy "tea" so I thought it would be fun to have a "tea" theme to her gift and card.  I try to have a theme for the gifts that I give.  I think it makes it more fun and a little easier to go shopping for the items. Here is the card that I made for her.

The cup opens up like a card.  Thanks for stopping by!

Some Quilling and Nice Fellowship

I have always enjoyed my summers, but for this some reason this one has seems to be the best one.  It's too bad that it will soon be coming to an end.  I hope you are having a wonderful summer too.  This weekend I went to my monthly quilling class.  It's always amazes me what Donna comes up with for the class to make.

After class each month my friend Esther and I always enjoy having lunch together and enjoying each others fellowship.

We shared a Bella salad (It has lettuce, grapes, pear, nuts, fetta cheese, and a passion fruit dressing.  It was yummy.)

and a pizza (The pizza had aritchokes, sausage, and  mushrooms.)

We also like to surprise each other with some thing crafty.  :)  This is what I made for her using the
die cut from SU.

Esther made a beautiful necklace for me along with this cute card.  She knows how much I love Hawaiian items so surprised me with the stamp from TAJ too.

I always enjoy spending time with Esther each month and thank the Lord for our friendship.

Projects With a Cool Move

Today I would like to share the projects that I made and received from a swap called "Cool Moves."  Each person was paired up with a another person and was asked to make a card and a 3D item that has a "cool move."  This is what I came up with for  Kim.

These are the awesome items that she made for me.and sent my way.

I especially like the board that she made.  Kim said that she made it out of a black board and sprayed it.
That is just too cool!  She told me that she sent me a little extra to apologize for the delay in sending me her swaps.

A Friend's SU Birthday Party

Yikes!  Is it Monday already?  Time sure does fly by when I am having fun.  :)  I have been having a fabulous summer spending time with family and friends.  Yesterday I went to a friend's Stampin Up annual b-day party.

Each year she invites a bunch of together to celebrate her b-day by having a workshop with one of her friend's that is a SU demonstrator.  It's always lots of fun stamping together, enjoying each other's company, and enjoying yummy appetizers together.  Before ending this post for today, I wanted to share with you the card that I made for her.

I hope that all of you had wonderful weekend like I did.  :)

Our Last Hello Kitty Activity Session

Yesterday my daughter and I went to our third and last Hello Kitty activity session at a local education store.  We had an awesome time as usual together interacting with the other mothers and daughters and of course with each other.  Each session we got to take a picture with Hello Kitty.

The activities that we did during the session was decorate Hello Kitty shaped cookies,

put together a Cricut cut Hello Kitty card, have a coloring contest (Here is the picture that Kylie colored),

and play several rounds of musical chairs. Each of the girls received a bag full of lots of fun Hello Kitty items. (My daughter received the plush HK for winning the coloring contest.)

My daughter  and I came home with lots of Hello Kitty items to add to our collection since all the HK items in the store were 20% for that day.

To thank the all the staff at the store for such wonderful Hello Kitty activity sessions, I made them a card with a special note from my daughter and I on the back.

Cards With a Red, White, and Blue Theme

I hope that everyone is having a good week so far and is having some time to craft.  Today I would like to share what I made and received for the Secret Sister Swap for last month.  The theme was to make some thing with the colors red, white, and blue in it.  Even though I love the patriotic colors, I felt stumped on what to make.  I played around with some ideas and finally came up with is card for Charleen.  I also sent her soem red, white, and blue bling and patriotic cardstock sticker of her pinwheel as a little RAK.

Miyuki made this very cute card for me and sent along these thoughtful RAK.  (Sorry about the quality of the picture.)

Thanks for spending some time with me today to see what I have to share.  Have have a nice weekend. God bless and take care!
