Last project for this week is a hybrid card using Rocco’s new kit. This kit is so full of cuteness, I see lots of cards to come out of this kit. I added a little diamond glaze on the acorns, PaperTreyInc woodgrain impression plate on the cardstock, pop dots and baker’s twine. :)

We are big drinkers

journaling: of diet coke and coffee! In our beautiful state of Hawaii, we have a bottle deposit. That means with every can or bottle of soda there is a
5 cent charge at the store when you purchase (sometimes there is a 6 cent charge) and there is only a 5 cent refund when you bring it back. The bottles must be clean, empty and still have the label attached and you have to take it to a redemption center. When the law first started up, I stopped buying 12 packs of diet coke and switched to two liter bottles. It just seemed silly to pay for all those bottle deposits because at the time 2 liters were exempt from the deposit… so we simply made the switch to two liter bottles. We would still recycle the 2 liter bottles and any of the few other bottles or cans that we had. The 2 liter bottles are now a part of the deposit system and Saturday was the day we finally packed all those plastic bags into the van and down to the recycling truck.  The truck has “reverse vending” machines where you put a bottle or can in and it gives you a ticket worth money. Our redemption center gives tickets for the Navy Exchange.

blue bin recycling

journaling: the city dropped off our blue recycling bins today.  We can now recycle #1 + #2 plastics, cardboard, and aluminum cans curbside.  I am so thrilled to do our part to help reduce waste!

sh, it’s a surprise party!

love love love the bingo cards.  Fiskars and Martha Stewart border punches on birthday boogie papers, some thickers, letter stickers, other punches and glimmer mist in Iridescent Gold.

Here are a few more projects from last Tuesday’s goodies:

Happy *almost* Birthday

I used another one of Erica’s 8.5×11 Templates slightly modified for a 12×12 layout. I also used Vinnie’s Kraft Birthday Boy kit, love those stickers! I used Laina’s Borderlines for little bits of color, and yes, Kenner Road’s and Wilna’s Alphas again. LOVE them.

Journaling: In preparation for Daddy’s upcoming deployment, we celebrated Jordan’s 5th birthday a few months early. We picked up a guava chiffon cake from deelite bakery. We sang Happy Birthday and Jordan made a wish and blew out his candle.

Happy Banner

I used Laina Lamb’s Banner cuts to make this super sweet banner with my silhouette. I cut white cardstock, and 3 sheets of american crafts patterned papers and glimmer misted all pieces, strung it up with bakers twine and buttons. voila, a smile on a string :)

For Jen Martakis’ challenge I scrapped about love.  Have you heard that song by Jason Mraz and Colbie Callait?  I swear, the first time I heard it, it was like it was written for my hubbs and me.

and of course I had to try my hand at the scarf right? since I live in Hawaii and it was 93 degrees the other day, right? I know, my head doesn’t always work logically.  I really wanted to order the yarn in the demo project, but OUCH! it’s silk. and $29 a bunch or roll or ball or whatever you call a bunch of yarn.  and it takes 3 colors. I thought it best not to spend $90 for my first project. instead I’m working a cheaper practice one.  I’m in the third row so far.

and lastly, i ordered some goodies last week or so and they came in. I’ve been coveting it for a while… baker’s twine.  I tried to buy it locally, but no luck finding it here, so I ordered. look at the pretty colors. it makes me happy. I just want to tie lengths on my wrist. is it silly? probably. but I don’t care! blame it on maria. i too love brown paper packages tied up in string. hee hee!

I bundled these up to send to my mother in law and I also packaged some up for my RAK winners.  I also got some fancy crochet pins. ahhh, the pretties make me smile.

I hope you’re doing well.  We’re ending up our school year tomorrow.  I have to make some cards to thank our teachers (again) this time personally from our family..> We really lucked out with teachers that nurture and lead our boys, and for that we are thankful.

Love Love and Blog you later,
