Good Morning!! Today is the last day to sign up for May's Aloha RAK Fun... please comment here if you would like to play. The Theme is: Flowers. Here are sign ups so far:
Hello Again,
I have another created cut file to share with you. Something that can actually be done real simply. I used Life's A Beach cart. You can use both all mat sizes, just change to the size that you want. I have files in both DS and GYPSY format.
My girlfriend Bobbie came over this past weekend, and after she finished coloring her lil' hula girl, I told her we need a card to go with it. So I quickly whipped up a card for her to put her lil' hula girl on it. I think the girl is from Instyle Stamps. Bobbie used Flower Soft to add texture to the girl's grass skirt, and her wristlets and anklets. Isn't it adorable?? Bobbie did a great job, huh? Here are pics of the card open and the entire card with image....
I hope you are having a great day in the Lord!! I'm super crazy n' busy, because on Saturday, Cy's school will be having their May Day! Soooo excited! Our 1st May Day @ his school. It's gonna be an event to remember. God Bless each and every one of you. Thank you for stopping by and reading! I truly enjoy reading your comments!! Enjoy!
Gotta run...

Good Morning! Got up this morning, checked out the Cricut Message Board, and saw that a member was looking for someone that had or can make a "Church Fan". I was up for the challenge!! =0) I used George cart, and made it for the 6 x 12 mat, but can also be used on the larger mats as well, all you need to do is change the mat size. I also saved file as a GYPSY file, so those that have the GYPSY can cut these (Did you know that if you own a MAC you can use the GYPSY and it works like the Design Studio? - Cool Huh???), She plans to attach a handle to this fan. If you want less scallops, simply delete what you don't want.
Enjoy!
Good Morning Friends!! I'm so glad that everyone is loving this week's challenge. I can't wait to see all creations those that decide to play along, and what color they choose to use together with black. Well, because yesterday was my challenge post day, I didn't get to talk stories with you all. I miss those days, when I don't have it. Like Sundays, when I don't post, and then Tuesdays I post the challenge, oh my, I get withdrawals. LOL!!!
I started walking again, yesterday. I walked from home to my son's school, served lunched, then walked back home. It was a HOT HOT day!!! But, during my walk, I had a 
one-on-one chit chat with Jesus, and He help me to endure the heat. I just talked with Him the whole way through, told Him my thoughts, and things that weighed heavy on my heart, and Thanked Him for such beautiful flowers, and creatures that surrounded me along the way. Before I knew it, I was home and it didn't even take that long! Please pray for me, that I continue to walk to a healthier me. I want to really get rid of the lil' tummy pouch that I have been lugging around for the past 10+ years. LOL!!! If it happens, it is all the Lord, and I know if He wants that for me, He will make it happen. Thanks for your prayers!!!
This weekend, my hubs was off of work. We took the boys to Ko'Olina, which is a man-made beach made for the visitors of the hotels of 
Ko'Olina. They have 4 man-made lagoons out on the west coast of Oahu, and what a beautiful place it is. The boys love playing at the lagoons, because it isn't as crowded as Waikiki, or Ala Moana, plus it is a lot cleaner!!! After the lagoons, we headed to eat at Sushi Ten, well, actually we picked up food, and ate the onolicious food at home because the boys didn't bring extra clothes to change.
Later that evening, we took the boys to the driving range, and hit some golf balls. All 3 boys were having a blast. It was soooo fun to watch them. I took my Copic markers and images to color. Although the lighting wasn't so great, I was still able to get a bunch of 
images done. Towards the ending of our stay, I asked if I could hit a couple of balls. To my surprise, I was pretty good at it! =0> I had a great time with my guys, and what a fun filled day it turned out to be. Sorry for the blurry pics, they were taken with my hubby's cell phone.
Ok, nuf "vala-auing", I better get on sharing my project with ya. Sorry, I talk too much, ya? LOL... ok, this creation here was made for this sketch challenge. I saw it on Allison's website, and thought I'd try it out.
For my project, I colored with my Copic Markers, DSP is DCWV, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, and I added a Scallop Circle Punch for the sentiment - that might get me disqualified!!! Image is from KLM Designs.
Alright, thanks for popping in, and I hope you are having a blessed day today!!!
Aloha,
Jen

Good Blessed Sunday Morning!!! It is that time of month again, to sign up for our Aloha Fun RAK!! Please post a comment here if you'd like to play along for the month of May - sign up will end on the 30th of April. During the month of May, I always remember the saying, "April Showers Bring May Flowers"... ok, as lolo as it sounds, when I was a kid, I used to think that it was a way for me to remember when the "Mayflower" ship arrived here in America. Ya, I was wrong... I don't know when I realized it was talking about "flowers" not the "Mayflower Ship", but Thank God it hit me before Middle School. Doh!!
So, the theme for the month of May is.....
Create something with flowers on them, and send to your RAK partner (which I will match you up with after everyone signs up).
Here are some of the projects created by participants for April's RAK - which the theme was "Anything But A Card":
I know each receiver's will be delighted to receive such adorable projects in the mail. If this is something you might want to try out, please sign up and comment below. Not to worry about your "level" of stamping, because we welcome ALL LEVELS, and it's always fun to make someone's day brighter, by blessing them with the talents that God has given You!! Be a Blessing... sign up today!!
