Jalen and I got home from the Big Island on Friday night and the past few days have gone by way to quickly.  I finally got a chance today to get some digi scrap time and hybrid time in.  The first layout is called Kahua Ranch.

i love these frames by Pamela. so classy, so timeless. Background paper is a blend of wilna’s and Jen’s, flower by vinnie, slightly recolored. itty bitty letters by erica

journaling: we arrived by bus to Kahua Ranch in Kohala on the Big Island. We took a small walking tour of the ranch and saw some orphaned animals, the sheep shearing area and the ranch chapel. The kids rolled in the grass, touched animals and pulled weeds. We enjoyed our lunch with this beautiful view. It was a great visit to such an amazing place.

next layout is called you Rock!

love these digital stamps by Erica (you rock) and these paper frames by Jen. Papers and pearls by Hero Arts and Distress Brushes by vinnie.

journaling: We were walking on the beach before dinner and saw a lot of cool looking shells. You picked one up and said, “Look, it’s a Hawaiian Shell Money! Can I keep it?” How could I refuse? I said, “Sure, put it in your pocket.” We went on for about thirty minutes gathering shells. When we got back to the car, we put them in a container and you were so excited. When we got home you declared, “If we got to the store, I’m keeping my Hawaiian Shell Money.” I think you got the idea from a Dr. Seuss Book we’ve been reading called One Cent, Two Cent, Old Cent, New Cent: All About Money. It tells how seashells were used to barter and trade, a handful of shells and you had it made!

Smile Card

I created this card by using Laina Lamb’s Digital Die cut files with my silhouette. I cut some making memories paper and October afternoon paper. Glimmer misted with Iridescent Gold, pop dots and a button and some thickers letters and stitching. a card to make the recipient smile :)

I love Vinnies Camera overlay/stamp and it went so well with this paper from her Bucket Full of Sunshine kit. I created in PS, printed, trimmed, sewed onto some cardstock, added some japanese masking tape, easy peasy!

Since the time change this weekend, I’ll be attempting to meet for chat with my fellow 2Peas Digi CT ladies at 5am Hawaii Standard Time.  I can’t wait to see what’s new at two peas in the morning.

one last little note.  I got such a pleasant surprise the other day.  I signed up for Google alerts a while ago.  I get an email every day with links to posts that contain Joscie, Joscelyne Cutchens or my blog address http://www.cutchens.com.  Usually I get links to my own posts, but sometimes I get a pleasant surprise like this: http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/20…recycling.html .  A big thank you shout out to my pal Brookelynn.

Thanks for stopping by! come back again next time when you might see some blog hop card making, some glimmery goodies, some Big Island Photos, and/or some Birthday Goodies.

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 :)
