Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Challenge #6...Dew Drops

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend, so far. This week, SSH has a new challenge going on for you. Please be sure to pop on over and check out the complete details. There is some nice goodies just waitin', for a winner. Part of the challenge is to create, using dew drops. As you can see, I decided to create using red and green glass dew drops. Perfect for the strawberry DSP.

It was raining dew drops on this card and on the paper crafted ice cream cone as well. For this challenge I used one of Little C's newest items in stock, CC Designs "Sweet Kiki". It's kinda hard to tell but the ice cream cone Sweet Kiki is holding, is covered with stickles.

Here's a couple more ice cream cones that I created as a RAK, for some of the Glama Gurlz, at last month's gathering. I know...it's so sad that it took this loooooooong to post. The original cones were embellished with either pink brads or pink pearls. The latest cone (shown above), sportin' the pink dew drops, was actually created to fit in with my card theme and dew drop challenge. I was very pleased with how cute these cones (filled with mini candy bars) turned out. Though I must be honest, it was not my brilliance, intellectual thinking. The idea was cased and the template can be found by clicking here.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend and much blessings to YOU! Aloha...

Cow Emma Celebrates The "Harvest"...Milk Carton Treat

Aloha all! heading out the door but before I do, I'd like to share one of my latest with you. Here's one of Little C's newest stamps from CC Designs. Another cute image, the cutest, I think. Meet "Cow Emma", what a perfect way to show her off, then on a milk carton (lol), don't ya think!?!
This time of the year while many are off gettin' ready for Halloween, our household is preparing for a time of "Harvesting". "Harvesting" in the sense of, sharing the gospel with any and all those coming around for a treat. Which is why I chose "celebrate the...Harvest" as my sentiment. This sentiment was computer generated. Praise the Lord for today's technology, huh!?! So quick and easy.
These shimmery circular flowers were punched out from a DS paper, found in my scrap pile. The light green pearls and designer ribbon are just some, of the many embellishments, Little C's carries.
Be sure to go and check out all the the new stamp sets that Little C's now have AND all the new ones, soon to arrive. While you're at it, hop on over to Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii to peek at what the other DT's have been doing with these new stamps.

As always, thank you for blessing me with your visit today. Have a wonderful evening. Aloha and God bless!

Thank you Wini!!!

For those of you who knows Teri (Big Ideas From a Little Girl), knows Wini. Whether it was one of Teri's gatherings or a visit to her blog, you've seen Wini. She's a sweet soft spoken sister, as I would say, Teri's right hand (awww...). A couple of weeks ago, Wini had a gathering. Oh it was so nice. Great fellowship, lots of yummy food (BTW...why is it that we local girls from Hawaii always talk about food- hee,hee), and purdy, purdy projects!

Here's our first one: I would have to say, this one's my favorite. The cover of this little notepad was made of very good quality acetate. The butterfly with wired pearls sits right on top . Felt flowers, Sizzix die cuts, & the Bind It All, were all part of this project.
Here's a peek at the other three projects we had worked on too. Gotta love that DS paper from Stampin' Up

And...this is the door prize I won!!! Every part of this calendar is so perfectly put together. Handmade by Wini. Sorry I don't have a shot of each page. But...IRL it is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you again Wini for your great hospitality.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for stopping by. Aloha and God Bless!

Valentines...Mini Candy Bar Holder

Well the day is near an end and I just wanted to share a really quick post with you, before I hit the pillow. These little treats I decided to make at the heavy encouragement of my ten and seven y/o. They are forever wanting to give things out to their friends so, the crafty side of me said..."how 'bout if I just make something!?!" so of course, they jumped at it.

Here is what we decided to make. These "Valentine" mini candy bar holders were actually cased from Dawn's Stampin' Studio. I just admire her work and thought I'd share a little of it with you.

I slightly altered it a bit. But over all, the base was taken (oops...I mean cased) directly from Dawn's place. It was fairly simple and fun to make, once I got the hang of it. The DP are all left over scraps, which I was very happy to have put them to good use.Card Details:
Stamps: Our Craft Lounge
Paper: Stock and DS paper (SU)
Ink: SU markers, VersaCraft (blk)
Accessories: Ribbon, Embossing powder, Cricut cartridge "Accent Essentials"

As always...thank you so much for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed your visit! Aloha...

Valentines Treat Box...

Need a great idea to hold those Valentine goodies? Pop on over to visit Holly from Toy's Haven . She does some amazing work. I cased these holders from her and must I say...It was fairly simple to assemble. As for the face of each box, well...I decided to be creative with all my scraps and put a few different ones together. These are what I came up with...(very little stamping done)

Here's my little goodie I have hidden within...Sweethearts... I initially intended to make these for our girls and their friends, but now that I have a few made up, hummmmmm...I think I will give these away to some of MY friends =)

As always...thank you for visiting and I look forward to hearing from you. Till then, be blessed!

SUINKWWC #23- Happy Valentines Treat

Aloha Friday everyone! The day is almost over, here in Hawaii. Before it ends, I just wanted to share a sweet post with you all. This is something I had created for SUInk & More WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY challenge, which we were to create a Valentine Treat Holder. Although I am about one week late for this challenge, I still wanted to play along. So here it is. This idea I totally CASED from Holly McMillen @ Toy's Haven. You must check out her site. Her work is fabulous. Sorry for the bright glare on the note card.

I created this matching 3x3 note card, a perfect fit for my treat holder. The black, gold, and vanilla card stock are from various companies. As for the DS paper, I selected this design for the special recipient I had in mind. The softness of this print, with the glittery effect, was just perfect for this special someone. This DS paper used was from one of the premium pads of DCWV. I then added a piece of fancy edged lace & pink satin ribbon. The itty bitty dew drop, prima flower and the All Natural Accents were all purchased from LittleC's Stamps n' Things. The stamped heart and sentiment are part of my Valentine set "Will You Be My Valentine" by SUInk & More.

For this treat box, instead of using your traditional Valentine treats, I chose to use a more familiar and elegant looking one. Not to mention, in my opinion, one of the yummiest. As for the measurements of the box and acetate top, I guessed and guessed and guessed. It's really just your basic box template with a slight difference in size between the base and top. Using the same DS paper as the box, I created a divider strip between the candies, also done by guessing. With all the guessing that went on in creating this, I believe I've now got it down...I GUESS!?!Card Details:
Stamps: Will You Be My Valentine (SUInk)
Paper: Stock Paper (various), DS paper (DCWV)
Ink: SU Markers, Black Versa Craft
Accessories: Ribbon, Gold Cord, Prima Flowers, Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, Dew Drop, Dimensionals

Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your visit and see you real soon. Till then be blessed!

Happy Tuesday all! Wow a week has flown by sooooooooooooooo quickly, since I've last posted. Where did it all go!?! It's been real crazy busy over the last few weeks but, I guess it's been like that for a lot of you, as well huh!?!

This past Sunday, Jen of Little C's, hosted a Christmas celebration. Although it was filled with laughter, lots of yummy food, and games...I would have to say, the highlight of it all (for me, that is...), was the great fellowship. Meeting some of our local blogging and blog reading sisters, was great. So much gifted talented ladies under one roof, wow!

Anyhow, all of us attending ladies, were asked to bring a handcrafted secret santa gift. This is what I came up with. This Holiday Gift Jar was cased from Alison of Stamp Crazy! I loved her idea and found it to be very easy and a practical gift to bless someone with. It's a jar filled with "Yorks Peppermint Patties".

I hope you enjoyed your visit. Please stay tuned for my next posting. It will consist of some awesome RAKs we received at this holiday event. Till then...thank you for blessing me with your visit and as always, be safe and God Bless you!

Mr. Snowman...Treat Box

Happy Monday everyone. This will be a real quickie, so that I can share this next project with you. Before I do, I just want to say thanks to all of you who were so sweet with your comments on "Rudolph". The girls loved it (and so did the boys. There were a few Boys Scouts at our event last night. Brothers of some of the girls in our troop). I tell you...I'm beginning to feel (and act) as though I'm living my childhood through my girls, of being a Girls Scout. I recall as a youngster, being in Girls Scout but it was really brief. I didn't go as far as my girls. But, like they say...once a Girls Scout, always a Girls Scout. Just like homeschooling, Girls Scouting is another "Family" thing, in our home. My DH is the pricipal of our homeschool, he is also a registered Girls Scout, right along with us. How cool is that, my girls thought. Next year our smallest one becomes a Girls Scout as well. We are all looking forward to that. She is so encouraged by her two big sisters and awaiting to follow along in their footsteps. It is sooooooooo fun. Okay, okay...on with the project we created for our middle daughter and her Girls Scout troop.

Meet Mr Snowman...I got this idea from Teri's beautiful Mr. Snowman, oh how I love snowmen...

Although I loved how she embellished hers, I had to take mine to a different level. You see, the recipients of these will be from ages 4-7, so....we all kinda know what will happen to Mr. Snowman, once the goodies are eaten up...yep...not that he'll melt away but...he will most likely be thrown away (eventually). So that is why I decided to try and keep it basic and yet cute. I so much wanted to emboss his hat, add some stickles, dew drops and maybe even a ribbon, but...those ideas slowly went to rest once I remembered the age level that'll be receiving these.

Just as Rudolph, Mr Snowman and everything about him was created by my Cricut. "Accent Essentials", "Plantin SchoolBook" and "Tags, Bags, Boxes & More" were all the cartridges used.

The little treats my daughter wanted to fill Mr. Snowman with, were treats we found at Paper Pleasing Ideas. These treats are great with Hot Chocolate however, based on experience, children will not wait for the Hot Chocolate, at least not in our home (lol). We made samples to test for ourselves and it was fairly simple and real yummy. Although the recipe calls for toothpicks (for dipping), I would not recommend that for 4 year olds. Just a safety precaution.

Because we wanted to display the treat within, we decided to create a "window" box. The treats can now be viewed from the back side.

Oops...I truly intended to keep it quick and short. Thanks for your patience and most of all, thanks for stopping in and being such a blessing. Hope you enjoyed your visit God Bless~

Rudolph the Red Nose...Treat Box

My, my, my...where has time gone!?! Sorry I've been MIA over the last days. We have some busy weekends coming up, for Girls Scout, and I had to get some projects done for them. It's all good.

Our first project was created for my oldest daughter's troop. She decided to make some holiday treats for her Girls Scout sisters and needed "Mom" to create some kind of packaging for these treats. So this is what we came up with. It's perfect and suits her needs.

I decided to use the popular "Frankie" idea from Jen of Pieces of Me. Of course, we had to modify Frankie slightly (okay...a lot) to make him look like Rudolph. But at the end...we were very pleased with the outcome.

For this project, I totally used my Cricut. Accent Essentials and Plantin SchoolBook is what was used to create everything on Rudolph (other then SU ink pad & Pop Dots).

The treats my daughter decided to make were, Chocolate Marsh Pretzel Rods. Due to the length of the pretzel rods, we needed the box to be slightly tall, to prevent the rods from falling out. So...we found it, the perfect box. Cricut's "Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More" cartridge (can be purchased from Little C's...) is what was used to create the box we needed. Here's a side view glimpse of the box's height.

Once the Rudolphs were complete, we then placed the treats in a cellophane bag, tied a ribbon, and placed it in our new Rudolph treat box.
