Pana'Ewa Rainforest

Hey everyone! Things are starting to settle in. I have a second interview tomorrow so I am hoping it goes well and I can get off the unemployed list soon.

Anyway, the other night I took out what little stamping things I have and was settling down to make some cards when I realized I have only 1 sheet of white cardstock and nothing to hold my cards together. No tape. No glue. Not even a glue dot. Nothing after the move. So, until I can get a job, so I can get a car, so I can get a ride to someplace that has these things I will be sharing older things I made but never got a chance to post. See why I need things to move along...so I can get some tape! =)



This is a page I did of the Pana'Ewa Rainforest Zoo on the Big Island in Hawaii. I loved this little zoo! The white Bengal tiger was just amazing and I got to get so close I could touch him with a stick. Not that I would have wanted to... If you are ever on the Big Island, Hilo side, check out this zoo. It is free too, by the way.

The paper is from a paper pack that I can't remember right off the top of my head. I got it in a kit. The bubble letters came from the same kit. I used my monkey stamp by Mindy Terasawa then a paw print stamp from Nicole Stamps along the right side as a border. My journaling is strips of white cardstock. I really liked how this page turned out. It is fun...just like the day I had. I think this is the good thing about scrapbooking...we get to reminisce about the great times we have had.

Thanks for stopping by!

One Man's Junk

Is always another man's treasure. That is, these CD's were going in the trash, that is, until I got ahold of them. Isn't this just cute. This was the first wall-hanging I made and it was actually a gift I gave for Christmas but I forgot to blog it after the giftee received it. Can you tell I am proud?!? TeeHee. The paper covering the CD's were from My Mind's Eye Bohemian Style I believe. The letters are chipboard from Making Memories and some of the letters are matted with white dollies from Wal-Mart.

So, you will notice there are two different pattern papers; one striped and one plain. Those letters that are mounted on the stripped paper have a white dolly underneath them while those mounted on the solid light-blue paper are not. The letters without dollies have ribbons attached to give them a bit of flair. I just love these ribbons. I found them for 10/$10 at my LSS and I believe they are by American Traditions. I'm not positive since I have used all the ribbon since then :D Does that mean I need to take a trip??? tee-hee. For each of the CD's I used my crop-a-dile to punch holes, fill with eyelets, and then string the CD's together using binder rings. Afterwards I added ribbon to the binder rings. I couldn't believe how fun these are and how simple they can be. This particular one took about 15 minutes.

So, I needed a couple of thank you cards that were simple and sweet. This is what I come up with. The flowers are from Nicole Stamps and were colored with Bic Sharpies. I added some stems and there you have it. I really liked how these came out. I took a photo playing with my new lighting system I have.

No Time!

Oh My Goodness! I am so busy with school work and school doesn't even start until next week! I hate working on a thesis but it has to be done. With that in mind, today is going to be a quickie so I will share a few cards that don't really need an explanation :) LOL.





These have Valentines Day written all over them! I just love these cards. Both were made with Bazzil paper and the stamp is from a Nicole stamp set.

Mahalo for stopping by!
