Always Remember...

This evening I share with you a project we did at Jen's (Pieces of Me), for the Glama Gurlz gathering. I kinda added a little more embellishing (just a tiny bit) than what the sample showed. To get a better idea, check out this really cute one done by Jen and...for more flavor, check out Maria's, whom the actual idea originated from. Thanks Jen and Maria. It was fun!

I used digital images from Nancy Kubo designs, scallop circle nesties, pink gem stones, cuttlebug folder, DS paper, and both solid & printed ribbon.

I decided to go all "Stickled" out which began with the flower. The sentiment "Always remember..." is a sticker from one of my paper kits.

The pretty lil' butterfly is also with stickles.

Here's a peek of the inside. Left side is intended to post little notes, using the butterfly magnet. Yes, there's a magnet somewhere under him (lol). Right side holds a mini calendar and a pad of "Post It's". A decorated pen was also included but... I think some sticky little fingers got a hold of it. And now, the pen disappears, ugh.......

Thank you for stopping by. Till tomorrow...Aloha and God bless~

Altered Notepads Take Four...

Okay, okay, okay...this is the last set of notepads made for our campers, that I will be sharing. Thanks for hanging in there. Just a quick post for today.

By now you should know it's Nancy Kubo's "Aloha Cuties" digital images used to create this notepad cover. Yep it was very easy to work with. Just embellish and...you're done! Again, just as all the other sets, dew drops, flowers, and stickles were used to create these 5x8 notepad covers.

Thank you for your visit today. Be blessed!

Altered Notepad Take Three...

First of all...Happy Aloha Friday all and hope you have a very blessed and safe weekend. Now...

Here's the third set. Using Nancy Kubo's "Aloha Cuties" to create these 5x8 covers for my notepads was such a cinch. No coloring involved. Just embellish and...you're done. Loved it!

Again, using dew drops, flowers, and a variety of stickles (all over the image). Easy peasy!

Thanks for blessing me with your visit today. Again, have a safe weekend and remember...Jesus loves you!

Altered Notepad Take Two...

Here's a second set of the notepads made for our campers.

Again, using Nancy Kubo's "Aloha Cuties" digital images. Added some dew drops, flowers, and stickles. It's hard to tell but just as the first (hula girl) set, stickles were added to the image, giving it a different touch. Circle nesties were also used to create the scalloped circle.

Very simple and quick project being that NO coloring was involved. I loved it!

Hope you enjoyed your visit. I appreciate you stopping by. Have a very blessed day in the Lord!

Altered Notepads For...Some Special Little Ladies!

A l o o o o o o h a...to all of you, my stamping sisters! First of all I must say a big THANK YOU to all of you whom were so faithful, sweet, concerned, and encouraging. You have blessed me so much by your continuous visits, emails, and harassment's (lol). I had no choice but...to return (lol). What intended to be a one week break, ended in a 4 1/2 month disappearing act. I had the hardest time budging and gettin' out of, what I found to be, my comfort zone. Thank you, thank you, thank you for staying on top of me. I so much appreciate you all.

I didn't do much creating during the long break. However, the little that I did do, I would love to share it with you.

My daughter and I had just returned from Awana Camp. As one of the camp counselors, I needed to donate an item to contribute to 28 goodie bags for the girls (ages 10-13). Perfect! I have the supplies but had no idea of what to create. Thanks to Jen (Pieces of Me) and Jenny (Jenny's Creations) for their brilliance. With only a few days to create 28 pieces, I decided to (kinda) duplicate Jen's notepad. Her's were so pretty but, because my recipients were little young ladies, I decided to simplify my version. I didn't have much time to color so Jenny shared the brilliant idea of creating with a pre-colored digi image. This was the best idea EVER. I've never worked with digitals and now I LOVE IT! Omgosh...it was so fast.

To create my (28) notepads, I used four different digi images from Nancy Kubo's "Aloha Cuties" and made sets. Here is the first set...

The cover is measured out to 5 x 8. One pad was created with a solid background, the other with a printed. Added flowers from All Natural Accents, some dew drops, and stickles.

To add a different touch to the image, I applied stickles all over, using different shades.
For the little time invested to create these, they came out perfect. Perfect for the age range, I was targeting. The little ladies were so appreciative, which made it all worth it. Please tune in tomorrow, I will share the next set. Till then...

It's great to be back and, MAHALO NUI LOA!!!
