Valentine's Day Tags & Cookies

Happy Valentine's Day!! 

I know the day's almost over, but I just had a chance to do a quick post so I'm taking a few minutes to do it.

My friend, Doreen Sanuki, who is also my co-worker and baker extraordinaire, and I decided to tag team for Valentine's Day this year.  She baked some delicious chocolate-chip cookies with red & white sprinkles and I made some cute tags to tie them to the bags.  I used the cute new Asian Meoples and the Love is in the Air Meoples.  You might also see a cute Sweet November Love bug floating around as well.  I trimmed them after coloring them and punched some tags out of paper from MS and Recollections.  I also printed out some pretty Valentine's Day cards that were a freebie from Webster's pages.  We tied red/white or pink/white Doodle Bug twine to give it a nice finish.  Here are some pictures...

These turned out really cute for a last minute Valentine's Day treat.  All items except the paper can be found at All That Scraps.  Next year we might do it again, but this time we'll try to be more proactive and do them earlier.  hehehe..  Hoping your Valentine's Day is wonderful!!

Have a great night and Mahalo for stopping by!!

Hugs,

More Make a Keiki Smile Cards

Good morning!!

Yesterday I was able to go out and support two small businesses.  I dragged my buddy Jesse to Hearts n Crafts, etc in Covina, Ca and the local burger joint near my house, Fusion Burger.  One is a very familiar shop to me and the other was a new restaurant I have been wanting to try since they opened a few months ago.  It was a happy day of shopping for me at Hearts n Crafts, etc.. I have missed this shop and the lovely ladies who make it a fun place to be, it seems I only go out there once every few months, but when I do I make it worth my while.  I was so happy that they were having a sale on the whole entire store, 25% off!  I picked up lots of pretty papers and a few other embellishments and Jesse found some paper and a die.  The ladies there are always so very nice and friendly.  I wish I lived closer than I do, but then I'd probably have to ask for a part-time job there. {lol}  Fusion Burger is a really cute small burger joint that serves gourmet burgers at gourmet prices.  Jesse & I each ordered two different burgers and had them cut the burgers in 1/2 so we could share.  Along with a side of Tosos {potato balls with cheese and deep fried-yum}, beer battered onion rings and our old style bottled drinks we pretty much gobbled up our food.  I think next time I'll ask them to cook the burger a bit longer as it seemed a bit to pink to me, but they were delicious.  All-in-all a great day of shopping and eating and it felt great to support the small businesses that I chose.

Here are more Make a Keiki Smile 4x4 cards to share. 

Featuring the Meoples from the Brrrrr! and No Peeking with Sweet November & AmyR sentiments

I also couldn't resist the Meoples Snow Joy & Meoples Dress Up Snowman, they made me smile...

Well that's all for today.  I hope you all have a great Sunday and for those of us who have to work today or go back to work tomorrow, enjoy the rest of your day!!

Mahalo for stopping by!

LFS #47 - Make a Keiki Smile cards

Hello!!

What a busy two days it's been!  Hoping you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are recovered from Black Friday shopping.  Today is Small Business Saturday and if you don't know what that means it's a day for you to go out and support your local small shops and businesses. I realize that you might be looking for big deals at the big retail stores but hope you also will support those small stores and businesses today.  I'm planning to visit a couple stores and restaurants that have always been good to me.  If you haven't seen the blinkie on my side bar go ahead and click on it to check out how Y&FH is celebrating SBS. 
Sorry it's been a busy day and it was too late to post something for yesterday's Lilo's Fun Friday so for today it's changed to Lilo's Fun Saturday.  I do have some fun cards to share that are CAS and were fun to make.  These were created for the Make a Keiki Smile card drive.  I am so happy to report that as of Monday, Kris has collected more than 300+ cards for the drive!  So totally awesome!  Here are few of the cards I sent to her.  {All cards are 4x4 without embellishments, sparkle or anything that can hurt the child who receives it}. 

The fun images and sentiments are all from ATS.  The characters are a mixture of the Meoples (Brrrrr..., Nativity and No Peeking digis} and boy they are so fun & cute!  The sentiments are all mixtures of Sweet November and AmyR stamps.  They were perfect for each card.  I will try to share the rest of the cards that were all just as CAS as the next.

I also forgot to pick a treat winner for the last LFS.  Congrats to Eva, I will be sending you your treat this week.  For LFF #47 question let me know if you like to make CAS Christmas cards or go all out? Leave a comment and I'll choose a winner and post it on Tuesday.  For me, it's a toss up and depends on how much time I've got.  Since I'm starting now, I'll probably have to mix it up with both. 

Have a great day and Mahalo for stopping by!  Don't forget to go out and support your local small businesses.
Hugs,
Lilo
