Round cards for a challenge
It's gonna be a short post as I'm not feeling chatty today. I've got a ton of PCS stuff to get done with all the medical stuff and paperwork to fill out. ANYWAYS... I did these two cards for a Gina K. Release sketch challenge. The sketch was to make a round card, so I did. I hope you like the cards. Also, have a great week. It's already Thursday, can you believe it? Until next post, be blessed.

Mountains and Kazoos
Happy last day of summer vacation!!! Yup, the boys start school TOMORROW! WooHoo! As I've mentioned before, Andrew is going into 4th grade and Ashton is starting Kindergarten. It's so exciting for all of us that both boys are now going to school. Andrew is a little upset that summer is over (of course) and Ashton is still a little unsure of the whole thing. He really liked going to preschool, but now that he is going to "brother's school" he's nervous. We've been trying to enjoy the end of the summer and this weekend we went to a birthday party for the little girl I babysit. It was at the Hale Ewa Beach park and we had a lot of fun. It was a great day and the kids had a blast. Here is a pic of the boys enjoying some of the treats they got on our way home from the party.
Yes, they are wearing their disguises and playing Kazoos! LOL! That's my boys for ya!
Well, I wanted to post a couple pictures of two holiday cards that I've gotten done, but I just saved ALL my pictures onto discs and erased them from my computer! Now my laptop is running smoother, but I don't have the pics readily available for download onto my blog. So, if you want to see them you will have to click HERE and HERE (on the words "HERE"). That will lead you to my SCS Gallery and you can see the cards. I had loaded them to my gallery a few days ago because I entered them into a challenge on the Caardvarks blog. I love their challenges but never got around to entering them. These are my first two entries. Did you like them? Since I think blogs should have lots of pics on them (and so the posts aren't too boring) here is a picture of the mountains you can see while driving on the H3 from one side of Oahu to the other.
Last Sunday we drove to the marine base (Kaneohe Bay) for some lunch and shopping after church. It was such a beautiful day I had to snap a photo. Sorry it's kinda fuzzy, we were driving...
On another note, did you notice the two new buttons on my sidebar? One is proclaiming my love for Melanie Muenchinger's stamps (my way of "shouting it from the rooftops" lol!) and the other is for the Monthly Birthday RAK group I'm in. If you want more info on either of these things, go ahead and click on the image and it should take you to their sites.
Sorry for the super long post today, I hadn't posted so I needed to catch up on things. I hope you all have a blessed week and thanks for stopping by!

The other Batch of Riley's!
Hello all. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I went a little crazy with my Riley stamps and made a second batch of cards. 
These cards use my favorite Riley stamp; Riley with Coffee and a Cupcake! I did discover a new Riley stamp today that has Riley holding a pan of freshly baked cupcakes, but since I don't own that one... But I digress. Here is an upclose photo of one of the cards.
Can you see the subtle patterened paper in the background? I've loved this paper for a while (I used to have some argyle socks that were similar) but didn't have any idea of what to do with it. This swap used up most of it, and I'm happy with the outcome. It's a masculine card, but it does have a flower in it.
You know, I do these swaps becuase they are fun, and it's always great to get a little "paper sunshine" in the mail, especially when it's not expected. There are people living their lives without much sunshine, and I don't like that. Without getting into much detail, there is a family that is near and dear to my heart and they need some sunshine. It doesn't have to be in the form of a card, but a prayer for them could do wonders. Please pray for this family and the trials they are currently going through. Thanks everyone.
Until next post, be blessed with some sunshine!

Riley Swap-first batch
It's Thursday! WooHoo! Next week the boys start school already. They are in a year-round school, so Summer break is pretty much over and the new school year begins. Andrew is a 4th grader this year, and Ashton is starting Kindergarten! Boy, time sure does fly. I'll have to post pictures of them on their first day of school...
So, here's the first batch of Riley cards that I made for the Riley swap.
I had a little trouble getting this group going. As I posted earlier, I had a different idea of how I wanted this card to turn out, but since that didn't quite work this one came about. It's the same layout, only I changed the papers, and the embellishments. With the embellishments, I didn't have anything that I wanted to use, so I decided to make my own! 
I used clear rain drops, and stuck them onto pieces of the Basic Gray paper. Then I cut it out, and waalaa! There they are!
Well, after I finished this set I stamped a few more Riley images and found some patterned paper that I liked and made another batch of Riley cards! But I'll post them on another day.
Until then, be blessed and thanks for stopping by.

Spring Riley
Happy Wednesday Blog readers! I've decided to be a part of another swap. I need to use up a lot of my supplies so I won't have to worry about shipping them to Italy, so I figured fun swaps would work to use up some stuff! Also, since I got reaquainted with my Riley stamps with the challenge card I made, I decided to join a Riley swap. So, I got working making a card that I could like to duplicate for the swap. I made this card, then realized I didn't have enough of that patterened paper to make all the cards I needed. 
So, I decided to just finish the card and keep it for a future occasion. You can't tell in this blurry pic, but I added sparkly stuff to the flowers in the top square panel and to the spade and the flower that Riley is watering. I also added glaze to the watering can and the handle of the spade.
I'm really not liking this picture, so I think I'll retake the photo and repost the pic a little later. *Edited: I reposted with a better pic, hope you can all see it now!*
Thanks for stopping by my blog again today. Tomorrow I'll post the first set of Riley cards I made for the swap.

A RAK from Colleen
I got a great little package in the mail on Saturday! Like I mentioned in a previous post, I am part of a monthly Random Act of Kindness group. I got paired up with Colleen and these are the goodies she sent me! 
There is a card and matching candy snack, some ribbon, beads, and three stamped images! I'm especially excited about making something great with the Bella image, and the monster is going to be so fun to color! Thanks so very much Colleen, I love this stuff!
This has got to be a quick post for today as I'm typing this up on Sunday night and I'm in the middle of one of my favorite movies, Labyrinth! Ok, so I hope everyone has a wonderful week and tomorrow I'll be posting some of the cards I got completed this weekend.
Until next post, be blessed!
