Hello!
Thanks for stopping by today. Yesterday I shared some pictures from my Hawaii vacation including a picture of my dinner date with Karen I and Jenny S. I also shared a few pictures of the gifts I received from Karen as well as the frame I made for her. If you didn't get a chance to see it just scroll down one post. Today I am going to share another fun picture from dinner, my awesome gifts from Jenny and the frame I made for her. First up is this picture of Jenny and Karen and their dinners...
Doesn't their food look ono?! And check out the huge portions! I think we all could have shared just the two dishes and we would have been fine. hahaha. Did I mention we were kindly asked to leave aka "kicked out" of our booth? Well not sure if you can see way in the back, but there were plenty people waiting to eat dinner, and since we also had to wait a good 30 minutes for a table I didn't feel too upset with the server. We probably could have kept on talking we were having such a good time. Take a look at all the pretty crafty items I received from Jenny, including more laser cut words from Island Scrapbooking! Hey, I'm easy! hahaha!
I can't wait to play with these. She even wrapped some up in really cute paper with strips of washi tape that I plan on re-using. Hey, I don't miss an opportunity to re-cycle when I can. Especially when it's such cute stuff. I even received a booklet from the Aulani! I know she and her family recently visited, so I was pretty stoked to find something from there in my package. Thank you so much Jenny for all the fun and gorgeous crafty supplies!! I love everything!! Including that beautiful bag. I plan to do the same thing I am doing with all the lovely gifts from Karen, use them sparingly and only for special projects. hehehe... Here is the frame I altered featuring one of my favorite Sister Stamps images, Kiyomi.
Doesn't it look like Kiyomi is trying to pet the bird? :) I have to confess something. I made the scene almost a year ago and wanted to send it to Jenny way back when! The problem was, I couldn't figure out how to finish it! hahaha! It sat on my desk for the longest time asking to be finished but I just couldn't figure out how. So I brought it with me to Hawaii as a card with the intention of giving it to her like that. Then I found the frames and my brain took off in another direction. Little did I know it was one that paid off! I bought the pink washi paper and white pearl decorations along with the frame. I did the same technique with this frame as I did with Karen's and the end result made my heart Happy, Happy, Happy! (lol)
The paper is from Paula Deen (yes Paula Deen has a crafts line as well as a cooking line) it's a small line, but a fun one. The bird and birdcage are all Tim Holtz Sizzix dies. I embossed the cage and then used distress inks to make it look shabby. Added the pearls to the bottom of the cage for another touch of shabby. As for the bird, I used an old Hero Arts background stamp over the pink paper. I used a 3-D adhesive to pop up the wing outside the cage. I am so pleased with how this turned out and it only took a year to figure it out! Eep!! Better late than never. ^.^
And there you have it. All the pictures rolled in to one fun collage. I enjoyed sharing these pictures and the crafty projects and gifts that came with them. Thanks again to Jenny and Karen for taking time of out their busy schedules to meet up with me. Again I apologize to the ladies I didnt get a chance to meet up with. Until next time...
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Leanne
