Michael Asher

Good evening, I have one last post for today. It's a set of letters for my co-worker who will be having a little boy in a few weeks. She asked me to make her son's name, Michael Asher, and wanted it all boy. I had a blast making this one. I chose 3 patterned paper designs and stuck in some brown and blue cs which I embossed. I used quite a few of the TGF boy stamps to decorate the letters, love all these little boys. Hoping it's what she was looking for as she didn't give me any specific colors or theme except all boy. I think I nailed it down.
Good nite for now. I'll try to stop by your blogs tomorrow to see what you've been up to. Mahalo for stopping by today. Have a blessed evening.

Go Greenbay!

My friend at work asked me to make her a Green Bay Packers birthday card. I went online to the Packers' website and went with super easy. The helmet itself is just all yellow and an oval with the "G" in the center. And of course I had to add a football. I made it in to an easel card for a little somethin' somethin'. hahaha.. It's a guy card so doesn't need too much to it.
Mahalo for stopping by. :)
Here's a picture of the cake my other friend at work made for the same friend. Isn't it awesome?! I'm hoping my friend's bf appreciates his gf for giving him a special birthday gift.

TTFN!!

Surfer Ian and friend

Hello, I'm back to share a card I made for one of our general managers. He was my trainor for the yearly store training we have to do at work. He's from Hawaii and I thought this card would be the perfect card to say Mahalo for his help with my store training. I used Surfer Ian from TGF and a honu stamp from Fiskars. I embossed two different shades of blue cs and cut some curves to make waves. For the sun behind Ian I used a circle spellbinder on the orange dp. The honu (turtle) is peeking out of the waves as they sometimes do in the ocean. Oh how I miss the ocean and Hawaii. Hopefully I can get back soon. Until then Mahalo for stopping by.

Christmas gift tags & surprise RAK from Jenny V

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the first day of the weekend. I sure am, I have today and Monday off so I will take advantage of my little holiday with some crafting, visiting blogs as well as updating my own blog. Hope you get to do something fun today and the rest of the weekend.
My share today is from the fabulously talented Jenny Viloria of Jenny's Creations. She sent me thee cutest Christmas gift tags and she made them into gift card holders. I added the gift cards myself to showcase her awesome creations. On the front of the tag is this really cute Christmas elf. I wish I knew where she was from, if anyone else knows please leave me a comment and I'll update this post. (THNX!) I hope you can see the details from the photo. There is glitter on her wings and white fuzzies on the trims of her hat and dress.. She paired them up with some really cool and fun striped dp. I can't wait to use them.. Is it Christmas yet?! hahaha..
She also surprised me with some wonderful RAK (Random Act of Kindness) for my birthday. First off is this beautiful fun birthday card featuring Fleur Anya. She did an amazing coloring job using summery & bright colors. And how about that cute ribbon? It looks like it's made from a t-shirt. I just love it. It's going on my wall @ work with the rest of the other wonderful cards I received for my birthday. Here is the rest of the wonderful items she sent for my birthday some cool dp, really cute flower buttons, fun ribbon and a really cute clear stamp called, Mouse and Rabbit with sunflower, from Tina Wenke. What a wonderful surprise gift and I so appreciate her kindness. Mahalo Jenny!
