Update on Dad and a baby card

Yay! The sun is shining so pretty today! We were able to bring Dad home from the hospital last night! He was extremely happy because he wasn't able to get any sleep in there! Although he is feeling much better, there are still a couple more issues to take care of. Doing lab work and follow up doctor appointments. Thanks to those who emailed me positive thoughts! I could surely use them!
I forgot to thank all of the ladies who made it down to our Big Craft sale over the weekend. Although Dad was in the hospital, he told me to go ahead and have the craft sale :) It was blistering HOT that day, I think I lost 10 pounds! haha! There were tons of craft items for sale and alot was sold for awesome prices! But...since we still have loads of stuff left, we are thinking of doing a "Hana Hou" (one more time) sale...I'll announce the date when we decide!
Here's a baby card I created to help out my DL Kelly (Hi Kelly T.!) Kelly will be going to her first convention this month - yippee! Kelly had the idea for the card, but needed help making a sample. She will be tweaking this card to her own liking for one of her swaps. Have fun girl! This cute card idea came from a tutorial I borrowed from my super sweet friend, Dawn Griffith. I know I said that she was my idol before, I just have to say it again! But when I need inspiration, I go straight to her blog to get some. She's such a sweet friend - Thank you, Dawn, for always inspiring me!!! You too can check out all her cool projects HERE.

Supplies: Cardstock: whisper white, certainly celery, bashful blue. Stamp set: Nursey Necessities. Jumbo roller wheel: Nursery Letters. Accessories: small star punch, dimensionals, blue striped grosgrain ribbon.

Here's the inside of the card. Since I used a roller on the front of the card and did not use DS papers to cover the front side to cover the window punch, I did my own twist to this. I cut a 4X4 size cardstock and punched the slot using my window punch.

Thanks for dropping by today! I'm so blessed to have such wonderful friends here on the island and in blogland - many hugs and aloha to all of you!!

Flip album made for my first winner

Aloha friends! It's been almost one week since I got on my blog and the computer for that matter!! Did you miss me? I missed all of you! For most of us, family comes first, right?? Well, my Dad, who is the bestest dad in my world, started to not feel good so I dropped everything to make sure we get to the reason why. Doctor visits two days in a row finally sent him to the hospital. Dad just turned 88 years old but for those of you who personally know him, know that he is not your typical 88 year old. His still has a sharp mind, is very witty (can make you laugh anytime) and so thoughtful. Not to mention that he helps me with all of my craft adventures and even cuts my SU stamps! (he does a pretty darn good job at it too!). Anyway, Dad is currently in the hospital but is getting better every day so we can't wait til he comes home. We spend alot of time at the hospital because it is lonely and boring for him. I'm also running mom around to take her here and there among everything else! Anyway, thanks for listening.
Remember my flip album giveaway a while back? Well, I decided to do custom albums for the three winners and this is the one I made for Jodi Lee. I just LOVE this cute stamp called Double Trouble by Whipper Snapper. When Jodi made those cute push pins for me using the shrink art (I posted those a while back too), I just fell in love with this stamp. Jodi was so super sweet, she bought the stamp for me!!! Thanks, Jodi! I love how the cover turned out. This is also the first time I'm using one of my new font dies by Sizzix. This font is called Boss-O...so cute! The words Best Friends is by Wordsworth and I used the SU punches (scallop circle and 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" circles). Papers are from a kit by 3 Bugs (Hey Jen, I'm still using those!!).
Here are the inside pages. This cute doggie stamp is from the new Hero Arts clear stamp line. I had to buy this doggie set!

I got this cute "Big Dog" stamp from Cute Stuff. I want to say it's a PB stamp and I can't find it in my drawer...so sorry. I do love this stamp too!

This cute dog face is from another clear doggie stamp set by Doodlebug...another "I had" to have it set! I did buy the kitty set too, bought both sets from Fisher Hawaii Fort Street Mall store.

Here's the last page. I got this stamp from Cute Stuff too. We used this stamp in my Peek-a-Boo card. Another oh-oh, can't find the stamp moment. My work table is a hurricane mess at the moment. No wonder I can't find anything!!

I'm hoping to do more posting this week. It's a holiday weekend! We don't have any grand plans for the 4th of July weekend. Would be nice to have Dad come home. I'll see you all soon!
