Yippee...

Yey. Won my first challenge since I've been back.. Can't wait to start the new challenge... Thanks big sis Jen Y.
let see what's new...
I have been youtubing lessons on how to play the guitar lately... lol. Yes finally I could almost say I play an instrument hahahaha. My mom always said she wished I played the piano, which I would've loved if she had put me into classes but no... so... I fell in love with the acoustic sound of the guitar when I first heard Kealii Reichel



Back when I was 10yrs old. Our family is very close to Hawaii because we have family there. When I was young we used to live with my Auntie and her family who were once Locals in Kaneohe and Waikiki. So they always had Hawaiian music around. Who wouldn't, the soothing sounds and romantic Hawaiian music just makes my heart melt. anywhoo... Even until now I could still sing Kawaipunahele and I'm probably not pronouncing some words right but I got most of it hehehehe. So ok but yeah long story short I'm super happy I'm learning slowy but surely how to play the lovely guitar.. when I'm a pro then Imma jack my cousins ukulele, I heard he's learning how to play it right now hahahahaha. Then Imma learn how to play Honey Baby by Three plus hhahahahaha....

Our card for the day is a masculine little simple Hb card. My husband always tells me that I always make girly cards even for guys so I decided to go simple....

I love the colors... and I didn't have any great sentiments so I decided to print on vellum paper and it came out pretty ok I guess. Okie dokies... that's all for now...

Oh yeah Happy blessed Monday to you all...
Smile and for sure you will have a great rest of the day...

Finally a challenge!

So I have finished these cards days ago when I said I will be up to doin some challenges so. I decided to start with big sis Jen Young's monday challenge..

I decided to go back to colored pencils for now since I suck with the markers. lol or maybe i just need to get some Copics hahaha the CTMH markers aren't pleasing my unskilled hands hahahaha not that it would really make a difference right lol. So anyhow I purchased the digital images of course from TGF Grad Anya and Grad Ian.. love it though I probably would've love the actual stamp then again I couldn't wait to freakin' create so I got the digis... I printed a slightly bigger than an actual stamp size so it's pretty huge for a 5X5 card. lol I love it though. I actually had to print another Anya one cause I totally messed up the face... so here's a messed up face one and then the kinda ok one hehehehehe

This is the one where i had to change the face cause it was not lookin good hahaha. it's a different on from the one above... and then the inside of both cards I kinda made pretty and added a gift card holder on the Ian card..

God Bless to all and enjoy the lovely Saturday...

Wall Decor

I have been so addicted to Vinyl wall art and all sorts of artsie things to design your home with... So I found this great butterfly wall art and finally my naked dining room wall now has this lovely art piece on it.. lol. I altered it by putting the frames of my old decorations, and koinkeedee it was the perfect size for the wall art. Hope ya like...

I hope to find another set so I can give to a friend of my who loves butterflies.... So i can fix up her apartment too hahahaha.

 this one is right beside the butterflies set

and this one is in our 2nd BR since every time we have guests over they usually use this bathroom..

 This is right above our television in the living room 

Then this is our tiny bedroom with a cal king bed set hahaha 

I feel like I was turning our home into a big scrapbook page hahahhaa. Anywhoo....

Enjoy your day...

Look what I got...

                   Today was Volunteer recognition day at my daughters school. They gave us a chocolate bar and a certificate. lol. Although the last name is my married name but not legal hehehehe. They also had a little brunch thingamajig for the parents and staff... Had a little croissant and a tiny danish. Then the big news came when our prek teacher told me they're going to have the pre-k program again this coming year so my sons could attend yey... I was going to move my daughter out of the school for 1st grade cause my son needed to be in another school for the pre-k but since they are still having it for this coming year I think I might just leave her there since she's a smarty pants anyway. So I have nothing to worry about when it comes to the education. I just wish they had more variety of different race hehehe. ok let me just move on to the crafty part.

                I made this care for my daughter but wanted to use yellow for the hair causei'm pretty bad at coloring so it looks weird when it's brown heheheheh.. I wish I could buy copics and actually learn to color like my fellow artsie ladies that color so well. Anywhoots here it is...

Hope you're all having a great day on this nice sunny day... lol then cold again tomorrow... darn weather... hehehe

Chocolates anyone???

Last friday my daughter won her first Spelling Bee.... Congrats to you babe.. lol. I decided to give the kiddos some kind of appreciation gift to all the participants... soooooo... I bought some Cadbury Chocolates and I covered it with cute DP and printed the Congratulation from photobucket i think...



The other kids were all asking for one but of course had to explain that the Spelling Bee kids were the only ones getting them for being so good at the event. I showed these to our kindergarten teacher and she was so amazed she said I'm beyond Martha Stewart heheheh I wish... Anyway... I will post a cute card tomorrow... I made it for my daughter...I just wished I colored it differently and better of course...

Okie dokie... See ya

Sunday Morning...

               Happy Sunday to you all. Here's a lovely card for a beautiful Sunday... I'm all alone here at the house today so I crafted all morning long and even until now.. But I gotta stop to clean a little so they won't think I didn't do anything today hehehehe.

I made this last week though. But since I just started blogging again.... Tada... hehehe I extra love this card because of the color selection and the layout I came up with... Then I happened to have checked out Mojo mondays layout and it's similar... whatta coinkidee... weird. hehehe. I have been blurfing but I gotta start leaving precious comments cause they are all so pretty and inspiring. I've been so blessed with the time I get to craft lately so I guess I've been just taking advantage of the crafting time. lol.
    Hope you're all having a blessed Sunday...

Hugs,
