Aloha, all! What fun I had making this card to show off some great Stampin' Up! products! I'm going to take some time this week go talk about each of the 10 different Stampin' Up! products (not including the paper and ink!) on this wonderful little Thank You card! For starters, two of the colors and at least one of the stamp sets are almost at the point where they will no longer be … [Read more...] about A Bouquet for You!
Riding Hood Red
Sweet Gift!
Aloha, all! Yesterday I showed off the pile of Gift Pouches that I had for sale at our Family and Community Education (FCE) annual fair in Hilo, Hawaii.

Like yesterday's Christmas Card, today's uses the Little Felt Flurries from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalog. Today, though, I really added the embellishments big time!

A Class for the Younger Generation
My first event since returning from all my summer travels was with eight young women (seven "tweens" and one about-to-be-first-grader -- sister of one of the others). Boy, did they have a good time! (Me, too!) The project was to decorate the cover of a composition book. I had hoped to use some new materials to show off to their moms; but August 17th was just too … [Read more...] about A Class for the Younger Generation
