When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you gave me, Lord." I am a believer that God created each one of us with a unique talent, therefore, use it well to serve Him.

Another Art Philosophy Project

Hello Everyone...
Hope everybody in the coast are safe.  Anyways, I'm posting today a gift card I made for a special lady.  I made everything except the envelope using CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  If you still haven't got the chance, make sure to grab one.  I probably used this cartridge in every project I made since I got mine in the mail.  It is one of the most versatile cartridge that ever came out.

Until next project!

Back to School Challenge

This is a CD pocket project I made for compilation of e-books on a CD.  This is also my take for Cricut Cardz Challenge 88 - Back to School with 3R's (red, ribbon and rhinestones).  Hopefully, I find the time again to join the wonderful ladies at CCC.

This is also my entry to Cricut 360° Challenge - Back to School.  This is my first time in joining Sonia and the rest of her wonderful DT and hope it won't be my last LOLz...

Until next time...

For My Darling Niece, Sophia

Made a quick card last night for my darling niece, Sophia.  Since I will be sending her a box full of goodies, I have to make a card too for her...
 Isn't she precious?  I just wanna kiss her, hold her and smell that milk mouth...
I made this card using Baby Steps cartridge.  Hopefully, I can make her a quick scrapbook scrapbook before I mail the box.

Nieces Belated Birthday Wishes

This is just a quick post for two cards I made for two adorable nieces who celebrated their birthdays.  It was really late but who cares right!?  Better late than never....


Hope you like them!

Luau/Hello Kitty Birthday Invites

I started working on this project since June but I stopped in the middle of it.  I honestly thought that the birthday party will not push through anymore.  But then things changed and I decided to finish up the invites couple nights ago and it took me 4 nights of no sleep.  Seeing the result though made me really happy.

I'm also trying to save money on the projects since I'm the one who is paying for it.  I used Colorbok cardstock stack that you can get from Walmart for $4.  It maybe cheap but the colors are so vibrant and for me it is one of the best cardstock for cutting using Cricut machine.  I made a total of 50 well detailed Hello Kitty/Luau birthday invites. 

Here, I'm so proud to share it them with you...
50 sets of invites and envies.  What you see in the picture was just half of the total production.
I used 7 different colors for envies.  The colors are just so vibrant!
Also made 7 different colors for invites.
A closer look on the actual invites...
A simple printed insert.  I used MA Sexy and 1942 report fonts.
I used the CTMH Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy bundle for the labels and CTMH stamps for the sentiment.  I so love the CTMH cartridge. It eliminates the need for you to buy those dies and punches that matches your stamps.  If I were you, I would get hold of one...

That's it for today.  These were all my projects that I haven't posted and/or accomplished the last couple months.  I know I've been MIA for quite awhile but hopefully I'll get back to doing at least one crafting project a week.  

Thank you for stopping by.  Take care.  Until next blog... Have a happy weekend peeps!

Hello Kitty/Luau Birthday Banner

Here's a Hello Kitty/Luau Birthday banner I made for our neighbor's daughter.  She will be celebrating her first birthday in Hawaii. Her mother is a Samoan, she of course wants her daughter to have the Luau birthday theme but the Daddy insisted of Hello Kitty.  This was a test on my creativity so I made my best to incorporate the two themes and hopeful that they would like it.

I tried to tie each banner together the other night but I dont think I will make it easy for them to ship it to Hawaii so I took the ribbon off.  I'm pretty sure they can manage to take care of it on the big day.  So without further ado, I want to share with you now my latest banner:

 I used Hello Kitty images as a spacer between the phrase.
 I used Hello Kitty font.
 Added two different colors of hibiscus to the font.
 There it is, just waiting to be assembled...
Hope they like it and hope you like it too!

Greeting Farm

I made this thank you card two weeks ago with the intention of giving it to a nice lady who works with my husband.  When she found out that I love eating fish, she came to work one day with a whole bunch of fish.  I was also intending to join one of TGIF's challenges but house work and home schooling are really getting into me.  How I wish I could play more those challenges...  I missed it :-(!

 
BTW, I cut the 3D flower using Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge and I used the quilling tool from Cuttlebug.  I also used Cricut Elegant Edges for the frames and doilies, which was set as a background for the image.  I used Martha Stewart glitter glue just to add some sparkles on the 3D flowers. 

Hope you love it!

Cricut Cartridge: Floral Embellished

Here are another bunch of cards I made using Cricut cartridge: Floral Emebellished.  And like the other times, I tried to get by with what I have in the other house.  Hope you like them!

 
 
 

Aren't those flowers gorgeous!?

Another Damask Decor cards

Here are 2 cards I made using Cricut Cartridge Damask Decor.  It's quick, easy and I like it!

 

Cricut Cartridge: Damask Decor

Here is  a set of Thank You cards I made using Cricut cartridge: Damask Decor.  Honestly, it came out as a set of thank you card because I do not have any kind of sentiment stamp while doing this project in the other house.  Well, that's a set back for having two houses but very slowly I'm dividing my stuff into two so I can do crafting on both houses.

 
Until next time...
