So I've been hanging out at SplitCoast Stampers and I'm really liking their challenges.  I've told myself that I really want to excel in my trade (cardmaking).  Participating in these challenges are a way to get my creative juices flowing and allows me to stretch myself.  

At the lounge, we had a chance to call Lara to pratice our booking calls.  It was such a great idea and with a bonus: we get a stamp set ~ FOR FREE!!!

All we had to do is call.  It was on like Donkey Kong!  I did have to wait almost 45 minutes but it was well worth it.  Lara said I did a really good job *pats myself on the back* and she gave me lots of great tips! It was super fun!  I did say a lot of umms and wells.  I gotta practice not doing that.  It wasn't really well rehearsed, just kinda went with the flow. 

I already had a stamp set in mind (clever girls-pg 55) but I had to ask if we could choose from the new catty.  OMG!!!  Now I can't decide!!!  lol...

I think I'm going to stick with my original choice. 

 I'm a clever girl by calling and doing a good job. 

;p

Summer Love



"If you are participating in the blog hop, you should have come from Samantha's blog, and if not, then you should start from the beginning with Samantha's blog until you come to my blog.
 I'm second on the list.

This month we were asked to create a project on what summer means to me.  Summer reminds me of love and the beach.  Living in Hawaii, we get to go to the beach all year round but so much so in the summer with school out of session.  I don't have kids but I have a group of teens at my church who always talks about going to the beach during the summer. 

The love of my life does not live on the islands, (by choice), so I wanted to make a card dedicated to him.  I wish he was here and so I made a special "mung and pung" chair set. 

It's my version of "his & hers". 

I love the gingham paper ~ I finally opened it up (from the starter kit) and had a chance to play with it. The colors and design are so pretty! 

I went to my cousin's BKP 1st anniversary party and they performed their own version of 

"Summer breeze".  BKP stands for Broke Kids Project.  It's a collaboration of teens (from our church) making music.  The music is not strictly christian music but a mix of their musical talents. I'm so proud of them, I wish I had a video from last night to show off.  

I'll just settle for Jason Mraz's mix ~ Enjoy the video before you're off to your next stop! 

Now on to your next stop Tamra Grandi's blog.

2nd a|s workshop!!!

Elegant Summer Event

July 10, 2011  6pm - 8:30 pm

The girls created 3 wonderful cards, inspired by A Muse's Ready to Roll Workshops.  I love those workshops!  They are fairly easy, the measurements are already listed so I just cut the pieces for my class and they just put it together! 

I did have 2 cancellations so I had 2 extra sets of cards and treat bags.  It's all good tho, now i get to use them for future workshops. 

and now from the Guestbook:

LM (the BFF's sister):

"Hi, Analyn- I had fun today.  Easy cards to make.  Thanks for inviting me! :)

VM (the dedicated BFF):

"My Fave card was the "just keep swimming" card..I got to rip paper to make sand! Very cool! and making the goodie bag project w/ candies."

AV (the BFF's daughter)-

*She got to use more of the Greeting Farm stamps and she created cartoons filled with doggies and military Ians*
