A Tent card with Fumi

Hello!

As I pre-post this I'm watching The Voice and smiling because Usher is teaching Blake how to dance, Kid n' Play style! hahaha!!  So cute!  This is one of those shows that I can't wait to watch and always sad when it ends.  The only thing about this season is that it's sorta draggin and the two hours seems like it's only an hour because of all the commercials.  Well I guess the networks have to pay for it somehow.  Just wish the coaches would just pick instead of pausing!  Sorry, just venting a little.  lol...  I just saw I've reached 170 followers!  Wow!  So very cool, thanks for following and so glad you are here.  I hope you are inspired.  Thank you!!

Anyhoos, thanks Rachel for sharing what the name of that card was!  It's called a tent card!  Yay! Here is the link on SCS to the tutorial created by Beate Johns, she's awesome and her card is adorable!  Here is my tent card featuring Fumi from Yumi & Fumi Handmade.

I had a lot of fun with this one.  I tried a rectangle window this time around and used dark brown paper accents on the frame, grass and the flowers.  Another outdoorsy themed card for me.  Getting in to the Spring theme.  Here's a side view of the card...

Oh you can see that I popped up some of the flowers on the front of the card.  Now because I didn't have a space to write anything I did something on the back...

Now I have a spot to write something.  I'm super happy with how this one turned out and plan to send it to someone who's probably not expecting it.  Hope she likes it. 

If you have a chance to come and play in the current challenge at Yumi & Fumi Handmade come on over!!  It ends on Friday.  We've also got a Spread the Love event challenge that ends next Friday.  So far we've only got one entry .  All you have to do is use a Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamp and you're in! The prize is awesome, I really wish I could join. Lol! 

Hoping to get in to some challenges as soon as I find my stamps. LOL!!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great Tuesday!!

LFF #50 - Happy Birthday Rosemary!

Happy Aloha Friday!!

It's been a few days since I last posted and visited around blogland.  I'm also very late (Sorry Eva!!) for a very important birthday wish.  Hop on over to the Yumi & Fumi Handmade Blog because we are celebrating a very special birthday for Rosemary!!  Then pop on over to Rosemary's blog and wish her a Happy Birthday!

When I was working on her card I was expecting it to be super CAS, but that kinda got a way from me and boy I think I might have overdone it!  I picked Fumi and colored her up in pinks and black.  I know Rosemary loves pink, and I love black, so thought they were a pretty cool combo. 

After I was done I thought to myself, hm... looks more like a Valentine's day card, than a birthday card.  If not for the Happy Birthday on the banner you'd think that's what this was for yea?  {hehe}  I tried to make it as girly as possible and I think I achieved my goal.  Here's my message for Rosemary...

Dear Rosie, hope you're having a wonderful day!! You make everyone happy with your creations and being you and I hope we give you as much as you give us.  Thanks for all that you do and for being a wonderful friend! Wishing you all the best today and always!!  Luv ya!

Since there were no winners for last week's LFF #49, I'm extending it to this week and all you have to do is leave a comment and make sure to go through all the blogs on the Y&FH blog for Rosemary's bday post as well as Rosemary's and the one that does will get last weeks prize.

Have a terrific day and to all the peeps celebrating a birthday today, Happy Birthday!  Mahalo for stopping by and Happy Aloha Friday!!  Have a terrific weekend!!
Hugs,
Lilo

Poppin' in to say Hi!

Hello my friends!

Hope you have been doing well.  I'm slowly getting back to visiting some blogs, and if I haven't gotten to yours yet, I plan to.

Head on over to the Y&FHC blog today and check out the awesome tutorial Eva shared using dies!  For the next few Wednesdays, the DT is going to be showcasing a tutorial, or project with you which will lead us in to our very 1st challenge!  We hope you come by to visit and enjoy our posts as we really love sharing with you. 

Also, we added a Gallery page.  If you have a Y&F Handmade stamp and have already created something please add your direct link so we can come and see it.  We are so excited to see some Y&F creations.

Now, I have a quick share since it's been a week! hahaha!

This is what I shared last Wednesday on the Y&FHC blog.  Yep I was the first to jump in to start the Wednesday sharing.  Click here to see the details.  For now, I'll just leave you with a couple picturez of the super easy matchbook I made using scraps and Fumi.

Alrighty, make sure to head on over to the Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts blog to see Eva's really cute card and the banner she created using dies.

Mahalo for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!

Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts blog hop and stamp showcase

Hello!!!

If you just arrived from Renate's blog then you are on the right track.  If you just popped in to say hi and see what I'm up to, then you are in luck.  We are having our first introductory blog hop at Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts!!  Head on over to YFHC blog and start at the beginning.  Lots of fun stuff going on over there and you don't want to miss anything!!

I hope you have been enjoying the hop so far.  Today I get to share my card featuring "Fumi" of the duo Yumi & Fumi.  She's named after me and see those buns on her head?  Well from time to time I would have my hair up like that too.  That's how she was "born" so to speak. hahaha!!  The stamp is one and measures 2.5" x 3.25".  You can either separate them or stamp them together.

Here is the card I made going pretty CAS with lots of layers.  O and that beautiful crotched flower was from my fellow DT and friend Kim Yu!! She's amazingly talented and I had to force myself to add the flower since I hoard all of her yummy creations. hahaha!

She's so cute yea?!  They all are.  I used the bubble border and sentiment from ATS.  Also used Spellbinders scalloped heart and regular heart to create the sentiment window.

Alrighty, now you should be on your way to see Sandie!!!  She's last on the showcase but she's got the piece de resistance!  It's sooo cute and totally encompasses Yumi & Fumi perfectly!  hahaha!!

Mahalo for stopping by and I hope you all enjoy yourselves!!

Hugs,

Leanne
