LFF #96 - Thanks Vivyenne!

Happy Aloha Friday!!

For today's Lilo's Fun Friday #96, I have a thank you card I made for one of my colleagues who unfortunately is leaving us today. =/  It's always hard to make these types of cards, especially if you really don't want that person to leave.  I made it girly like her and with some bright peachy colors.  Oh yeah and there's that layout again.  Yep can't get enough of it.  (lol)


Ok, so I really love this one!  I guess cause the colors are pretty.  Most of the same elements from the other cards are used here.  The La-La Land dies, MFT dies, Lawn Fawn word die, some pretty flowers from Petaloo and some fun accents from Recollections.  The patterned paper is from another Prima pad, the cardstock is MFT & Recollections and lastly is Anya Strolls from The Greeting Farm.


Instead of coloring her blouse I added some dots to create a fun pattern.  Once I finished coloring her up I fun cut her then glued her down flat instead of popping her up.  The reason for that is because I wanted the "thanks" to look like it was floating.  What I did was add glue to the bottom of the word and attached it to some of the petals, so it looks like it's floating.  I like the effect!


Here's a shot of the inside of the card.  I did a double panel so we could all have enough space to write something other than the normal few words, but my other colleagues crammed what they wanted to say on to one page.  Aiya!  Sometimes they need guidance.  ((lol))  It's funny because normally if I didn't want them to sign on something I'd usually put a post-it, sheesh, you'd think they would know me by now!  ((hahaha, obviously not!))  ((Sigh!!))


We took Vivyenne to lunch today and here are a couple pictures, can you tell which one is Vivyenne?  (She's the one in the middle in the first picture.)  Sure going to miss her, I usually miss all the ones that leave us...  =/


Wishing Vivyenne all the best in her next adventure.  Hopefully when she makes it big she'll remember us.  hahaha!  Well thanks again for stopping by.  This post turned out to be longer than my others, hopefully you weren't too bored. =D  Have a fabulous Friday and a great weekend!  Hope you get to do something fun!!

xoxo,
Lilo

LFF #65 - Warm wishes...a birthday card

Happy Aloha Friday!

Today I'm jumping back in with a Lilo's Fun Friday share, it's been quite some time.  In the midst of all the Christmas crafting I took some time to make a birthday card with one of my pre-made BG cards. This one was a lot of fun to make.  I combined two stamp lines to make this card for my friend & co-worker, Doreen.

Anya Strolls & Kiki

I did a slight alteration to Big Anya Strolls from TGF.   First I gave her a haircut and then I replaced her cute little dog with a bigger cute dog named Kiki from Sister Stamps.  I also gave Anya some glasses.  Now Doreen doesn't have bangs like her, but she at one time did so I thought hey why not again? :)  After I colored both Kiki and Anya I fussy cut them both out and used pop dots to add to my card base.  Kiki is colored to look like Doreen's dog Princess who is her pride and joy, I hop I did her justice.  ^.^  Here's a close-up of both of them...

Anya & Kiki

Normally when we celebrate a birthday at work, Doreen is the one who bakes for us.  When it comes to her birthday, we've just ordered or picked up something in the past trying to give her something she would like.  This year I thought it would be fun to ask another co-worker to help me make her birthday dessert.  So I happened to ask her if she wanted to still have a fruit tart or chocolate cake from Porto's to which she actually changed her mind.  She asked for cupcakes instead.  White or yellow cake, any type of frosting with a fresh strawberry on top.  I asked if she was sure and she said yes.   So for her birthday she got what she wanted and she was really surprised with the results...

Luckily we have several bakers that work in our office so I asked one of them for help and boy did she come through!!  The cupcakes were delicious, but the best part was seeing Doreen's face when she first saw the dessert.  Priceless!!

Jean, the ones that made the cupcakes, did a wonderful job, exactly what I/Doreen asked for.  I took a picture of all the piping she did too... 

Piping rock star!!

Can you believe she did the same to 23 more cupcakes?!! Yep, she's a rock star.   Here's a little collage I made including a picture of the b-day girl. :)

Happy Day for Doreen!!

Well thanks so much for stopping by.  I know I've been such a bad blogging friend and I appreciate everyone that comes and leaves a comment.  I hope to be better at stopping by old friend's blogs and seeing what you've been up to.  Mahalo!!  Have a super awesome Aloha Friday!!

Hugs,
Lilo
