Long time no see!

Aloha Everyone,

Oh wow! It's been a long time since I blogged.

Today I have a project that was cut from SVGcuts.com. (Click on the upper right top corner to be directed to their site).

They are an awesome company and they have great svg files. They also have many free files. So go check them out.

This is a Wedding theme project.

I used the Crush on you boxes file for the adorable take out box.

The 3D Mums and Fall flower kit was used for the beautiful flower,

and the I do was a free cut file.

I embossed the take out box panels so it added some dimension.

I also embossed the the many different layers to add more dimension.

Aloha Everyone,

Summer has been very busy with my awesome children home!

Here is my recipe:

* Gypsy to to cut the circles, Accent Essentials cut at 3.00 for the outside and 2.65 for the inside circle,

* Smaller circles cut at 2.41 for the outside and 2.13 for the inside circle, and

*Smallest circles cit at 2.14 for the outside and 1.89 for the inside

*I used some of the middle circles for journaling blocks.

*Photo mats were made with Gypsy Wanderings cut at 4.00 for the outside, and 3.75 for the inside.

* My Pink Stamper's Family & Friends stamp set.

&

*Doodling with my white pen!

**I forgot to add my flower. Here is 2 pictures with the flower and the other pictures don't have a flower. I think it looks much cuter with the flower.

Aloha Everyone,

Happy Father's Day to all the men!

Things have been busy with summer, and Father's Day came fast.

I wanted to share just a few things we were making for my hubby.

I made the adorable tie box from SVG cuts using the All About Dad Kit File. I really had fun making it and it was so easy.

In one box we loaded it with candy, and the other one has three stamped washers that we turned into a key chain. My 3 daughters chose what they wanted to say and I stamped it for them. I didn't take a picture of the key chain but here is an example of the stamped washers HERE.

I also made a card from the SVG cuts with the shirt and tie card, but since my hubby isn't a tie guy I made it into a regular shirt.

This is the card I made, I did personalize it up a bit with some doodling, and I added his work logo on the front, but I did forget to take a picture.

I wanted to take a picture of all 3 things I made but my camera wanted to focus on my outside palms instead. So you get to see my blurry project. LoL!

Have a great day!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge!!!

Aloha Everyone,

Scrappy Moms Stamps is having their fun Terrific Tuesday Challenge! This time we are supposed to be using the Once Upon A Princess Cartridge. I really do love this cartridge, but I need to use it more.

For my project I made a Princess Castle for my daughter's birthday.

I cut the castle as large as I could on 12x12 which came out to 8 1/4. I used my Gypsy for the tower roofs so I could fit them on one 12 x 12 paper. I embossed all the cuts and made them look like stone. I had a lot of fun making this castle!

Cards for a Swap

Aloha,

I wanted to share some cards that I made for a card swap that I just participated in. I really had fun making them and getting some cards in return. I will post a picture of the cards that I receive when I get them all.

I wanted to know if anyone is interested in a swap for the youth. My daughter really wants to have a swap for her age group. Age 8 and up. Or just participate in a swap if people don't mind receiving a card from a 10 1/2 year old. She tried to have one at school. She enlisted about 10 girls, but they just ripped out some binder paper and drew or wrote something on it and quickly handed it to her. This was after she worked really hard all week long making these cards for them. She felt cheated, but I did tell her that everyone may not know how to make a nice card with card stock and to not hold it against them. She tried a few more times after explaining how to make one, then she gave up and is now begging me to post about having a card swap for youth.

So if you are interested please email me at

islandgurls at hawaii dot rr dot com, or leave me a comment with your info.

She would be your best friend eternally!!!

Gecko picture

Aloha Everyone,

I wanted to share this beautiful picture of this gecko when we went to the zoo on Spring break.

Isn't he gorgeous. I just love his colors.

Spring Beauty Layout

Aloha Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well and in good health. I have not posted anything in so long I almost forgot how.

I am sorry for being MIA.

The whole Feb. my whole house got sick, and in March spring break came along and my mom came to visit. I thought I would have more time crafting but that was not the case.

I have had 2 birthdays and another one this weekend.

We have been busy having sleep overs and party projects.

Life can sure get busy!!! But, I do love it.

Now on to my project it is my Design Team project for Crop Chocolate. I love that store. Check it out, it can be addicting.

I used Basic Grey Paper in Ambrosia, and BoBunny Wraps from Gabrielle.

I made the flower using the Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet.

The butterfly was cut using my Gypsy and the Cricut Indie Art butterfly. It was stretched.
