Gathering Island Style...

This past Saturday Teri (Big Ideas From a Little Girl) hosted an Island Girl event. A gathering to include some of the most talented, creative sisters on the island of Oahu. Omgosh, it was so much fun, laughter, prizes, projects, demos, bentos, AND...rootbeer floats! Although many of us have built our friendships through blogland, for several, it was the first time meeting in person. And yes, we had our "Wild" ones there too, whom I won't mention (KYOKO, DENISE, JOY, & LINDA-lol). But not to worry, the "Mellow" ones were also in the house like um...ME! (lol).

For my island sisters, I created this RAK, using an image from Dandelion Designs. It was a perfect fit for the theme I wanted..."Ladybugs". The candy holder was created using cricut's version of SU's Top Note and the idea, I cased from Dawn Easton (Treasure Oiler Designz)

A bunch of them...35 in counting.

Although two different sets were created, both consisted of yummy mints.

I feel so blessed to be a part of this fabulous group of women. All who attended and all who weren't able to make it, your friendship/sisterhood has blessed me immeasurably.

Mahalo to everyone who contributed to this awesome event. Every part of your efforts, was well appreciated. I cannot thank you enough. In addition, to all who attended, your presence made it more delightful. Thank you, thank you, thank you Teri for such a wonderful time. My daughter and I were truly blessed.

Stamp n' Scrap- Challenge #3

First of all, hope you all are having a beautiful Sunday. Up early, ready to make breakfast for my wonderful hubby and beautiful girls, then off to some great fellowship in the Lord....church. Can't wait to hear what Pastor Bill will be teaching today.

Wanted to share a real quickie with you. This week's SSH challenge is to create something using this color combo AND...using images from Dandelion Designs. Not only does DD have the cutest lil' images but, they were so generous in sponsoring this week's challenge. I hope you will be inspired to join on in and check out what SSH have in stored for you. While there, have a look at all the other creations by SSH's DT.

I chose to create, using DD's "Good Pals" image and this is what I came up with. Something really fast and so last minute (lol). Why do I wait until (almost) the very LAST minute...I dunno!?! I guess I like the rush...hee, hee j/k. Just in case you're wondering...a pink dog!?! Yes...in our home we have pink dogs. Stuffed ones, that is (smile). Besides, I needed somehow to incorporate the color, what better way then to use the dog. The sentiment "Your friendship blesses me..." was computer generated. The note card(s) holder is cricut's version of SU's top note die and the tiny flowers were also cut using the cricut. I used CB embossing folders on the front of the holder and SU's slit punch to create the scallop edging. Each note card measures at 3x5.

I am very blessed by your visit today. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day with your family and friends. As always...Aloha and God bless!

hugs in Jesus~
