Aloha, all! As I mentioned a couple of times earlier this week, I'm going to try to change up the way that I share my projects and Stampin' Up! products with you on my blog. For one thing, I'd like you to know that Tuesday will feature some kind of technique related to card making. Tuesdays will also have a monthly theme. For Thursdays, I'm adopting the oldie-but-goodie theme of Throwback … [Read more...] about Waterfront Scenery!
Slimline Cards
A Slimline Floral Birthday Card!
Aloha, all! At this moment I sit in between the time of "Christmas in July" and the Stampin' Up! August - December Mini Catalog (aka Holiday Catalog) launch tomorrow. So I decided to do something totally non-holiday - a Birthday Card. And I'm still on my mission to explore the ins and outs of slimline-style cards. Thus today's card brings together Slimline Style and the Ornate Style Stamp … [Read more...] about A Slimline Floral Birthday Card!

Christmas In July – Part II!

The Lighter Side of the Ocean!
Aloha, all! As I write this, Hurricane Douglas has its sights set on not playing nice with Hawai'i. Living right on the ocean, I do get a little nervous when I see that happening. At least we no longer live in a big house on 2 acres of land where we had a ton of things we had to tie down or bring inside for hurricane prep.

Happy 4th of July!
Aloha, all! My mother frequently used this phrase with me when I was a child and it was time to go somewhere: Better Late Than Never! Yup, I was the one who fiddled with what I was going to wear so much that I made everyone else late. I've pretty much grown out of that. But I still find myself being late when it comes to posting something that has to do with a holiday. Valentine's Day on … [Read more...] about Happy 4th of July!
