Lookie...A Sarah Kay Accordion Purse...

Happy "Aloha" Friday! I have a real quick one to share with you all today and then out the door I must go. Although I've created one of these purses previously, I wanted to take a shot at making another one and actually, I like the way this one turned out. IRL it's really pretty. Sorry for the fuzzy photos.

As I've shared before, I love the Sarah Kay images and as I've always mentioned, they just remind me of my girls. Which is why I chose to use this sweet little "Spring is Back" image. Pop on over to LittleC's and check out the big sale going on, especially the Sarah Kays...woohoohoo!

By the way, if I hadn't mentioned it yet, this is an Accordion type purse, inspired by Maria of Stampin' Inspirations. This type of purse can be very versatile. I plan to use it as a holder for the "Sarah Kay" card kit, that I will be working on very soon.

The bunches of flowers were all elevated, giving it a 3D appearance, using pop dots.
Although it may appear like a scuffed up flower button(lol), it's not. This button is actually formed from a coconut shell, with it's natural look. For a lil' flavor, I added a clear dew drop in the center of the button.

As always, I am so blessed by your visit. Have a wonderful day and...an awesome Labor Day weekend. Aloha and God bless~

hugs in Jesus~

For You...

Just wanting to share another Sarah Kay image with you. This one is named "Fannys Cuddle" and as always, loved it as soon as I saw it.
Viewing it a little closer up, shows the inner part of the card as well.
and tah dah...the inner side, simply done. I just recently started adding to the inner parts of my cards (I hadn't before). In my opinion, it adds such a COMPLETE look to it. Don't you think!?!

Card Details:
Stamp: "Fannys Cuddle" (Sarah Kay), sentiment (SU!)
Paper: stock and DS paper (SU!), and other unknown (sorry)
Ink: SU! markers
Accessories: prima & gems (Hero Arts), scallop & circle punch (SU!), ribbons

Hope you enjoyed your stop in. I always appreciate you and your sweet encouragement. Have a great evening and remember...Jesus loves YOU!

hugs in Jesus~

Heartfelt Thanks...

What a beautiful day it was here in Hawaii. The day went by so fast, I almost forgot to post this card...oops!

Sharing with you from one of my most favorite stamp companies...Sarah Kay. Her images are just too precious, sweet, and innocent. At least that's my impression, when I see them. I am so drawn to them and I know it's due to me having three little girls of my own. This stamp set is called "My Sweet Lili". I colored it using my SU! markers. To embellish, I added some blue gem stones, ribbon, and prima flowers. All of which, can be purchased from Little C's. The DS paper and card stock are from SU! and the sentiment was computer generated. Not bad huh!?!
Here's an up close shot of the "bling". I actually like how that turned out on the card.

Giving you a side view from a different angle.

As for the inner part of the card, I was actually debating whether or not I should add a sentiment. I haven't yet decided so...I'll just leave it for now. That's the beauty of creating our own cards, wouldn't you say!?! We can change it up (or down), anytime we want to (lol).

Card Details:
Stamp: "My Sweet Lili" (Sarah Kay)
Paper: DS and Stock (SU!)
Ink: SU! markers
Sentiment: computer generated
Accessories: gem stones, ribbons, & prima flowers (Little C's)

I'm happy you stopped by. Have a wonderful and blessed evening, ALOHA!!!

hugs in Jesus~

Friend...

It's A L O H A Friday everyone and the weekend has just begun, at least in our home. Because we homeschool, the Principal (my DH) and I, decided to give our girls the day off from school today. It's been a really busy week for them (educationally), and they have been in such good spirits throughout, that we wanted to reward them. So...they are off meaning, I am off...YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!! Okay enough, now let's get on with business (l0l).

Today's featured card is another "Blast from the Past". Again, some of you may remember (a little while back), this card too, was shared through Little C's Gallery. So, I thought I'd bless those that have not yet seen it. For those of you that have, I bless you, all over again.

I just loved working with these colors. I think they work so well with the Sarah Kay images. This SK image is Margaux Is Painting.

I'm happy you stopped by. Have a wonderful & blessed weekend, ALOHA!!!!!!

Picnic anyone???

Okay here is my last Sarah Kay (I think...). If you haven't guessed by now, I am a great fan of the "SK" images. Can you tell??? OMGosh...is that a huge, gigantic yellow spot I see, at the upper left corner? Oh please tell me "No". Okay...let's just pretend it's not there (lol). Anyhow...this card was (as usual) fun to do. The image Picnic of Daisies, can be purchased at Little C's along with the Prima Flowers. In the center of the flower, two pearls were added to spiral wires with the sentiment hanging off of one. This layout was actually taken from a previous card I had created for... Little C's Home .
Supplies: Sarah Kay "Picnic of Daisies", & Prima Flowers (purchased from Little C's Stamps n' Things), Sentiment, Window Punch, Corner Punch, Oval Punch, & DS Paper (SU).

By the way...before I go, I MUST share with you all about my "Hot" date I had last night. OMGosh, it was amazing, it was unbelievable. Well... first of all, it started with a phone call from Jen . Inviting me to Cirque du Soleil - Saltimbanco. Without hesitation, I accepted but of course, checked with my DH first. I was so excited when he said..."Sure, go and enjoy but...be safe". You see, the excitement wasn't only because he was okay with me going. It was more so, because he was willing (without hesitation) to sit in, on my behalf, at our daughter's Girls Scout meeting, so that I can go on my date. Wow...what a Man!

Although it wasn't my DH, I could not have asked for any better date(s) than Jen and our other stamping sister Barb. It was awesome! The cast, the costumes, & the movements. If any of you have ever attended one of their productions, you will know what I'm talking about. We left there in awe. I remember, when I use to be able to tumble around just like them (back in the days...long, long, long ago...like 100lbs. ago...hee,hee). After returning home, I was so inspired and motivated that I considered showing my DH and daughters, some new moves I had learned from watching the cast. But...I quickly changed my mind, when I thought of the serious injury I could cause to myself, if not, them (lol). Oh well...maybe next time.

Thank you CY3 (Jen 's DH) for the tickets, we really enjoyed it! Most importantly, thanks all, for stopping to visit. Have a very blessed day!

Painting We Shall Go...

"Marguax is Painting"...yep, another Sarah Kay image for you. This time I added a few stitches, used 3D lacquer/glaze on my image (sorry, it's kinda hard to tell), SU's slit punch to create scallop, a designer brad, and prima flowers. I love this turquoise color, you think!?! Well...I hope you're enjoying this ride with my Sarah Kay's. Because ummmmmm...I actually have a few more to share with you (lol). But...it may have to wait until later. Till then, thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day in Jesus!
Supplies: Sarah Kay "Marguax is Painting", Cuttlebug Embossing: Swiss Dots, Prima Flowers, 3D lacquer/glaze, & Pop Dots (purchased from Little C's Stamps n' Things), Sentiment, Circle Punch, & Slit Punch (SU), DS Paper (TAC).

Sisters are Forever

How precious is this stamp, another one of my favorites from Sarah Kay. I guess because I have little girls (oops...I mean "Princesses") of my own, I really took to this one.
Supplies: Sarah Kay "Little Help from Margot", DCWV Paper, and Pop Dots (purchased at.... Little C's). Sentiment (computer generated).

I'm so blessed you stopped by. Have an awesome evening!

You're So Special

Aloha all…oh my GOSH!!! I am so humbled by all of you who took the time to pop in and give a shout. You don’t know how blessed I truly feel. So encouraged! It’s been about two days now, since entering into blogland, and i’ve learned so much (I feel) in just that short time. But what can I say, I have one of the best & most patient teachers. Thanks to my BFF & sister…Jen of Pieces of Me, “Heartful Stamping” was created.

By the way...
Happy Election Day!!! (is there such a celebration??? of course there is...). Celebrate being an American, celebrate the "Freedom" we are so blessed to have, celebrate your right to be heard and hope you went to...vote, vote, vote!

On with my newest card..
Created with one of my favorite Sarah Kay images (Precious Moments), this one was kinda fun to work on. I have this thing with Browns, Earth Tones, etc...so this is what I came up with.

Initially I intended to attach the sentiment, using Pop Dots. Instead, I decided to use hinges, adding a little swing to it. That ended up being fun to do. As for the coloring, I don't recall the exact shades used. Please, please forgive me.

Well...thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your visit. Have a blessed evening!



Supplies: Sarah Kay Image, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, & Hinges (all purchased from Jen at Little C's). DP & Sentiment (from SU).
