Hello

I'm so excited to announce that I'll be designing for the fun store ABC Toys and Crafts for the next several months! If you haven't had a chance to check them out, now is a perfect time to head on over to the store because now through July 18, everything in the store is 15% OFF!!! They have a great selection of stamps (including the super popular My Cute Stamps line!!), punches, Nestabilities, etc.

Today I'm sharing my first official ABCDT project with you and I'm absolutely LOVING it!! I used the adorable Hello Doodle set by My Cute Stamps on this quick little notecard:

Recipe:
Stamps: Hello Doodle (My Cute Stamps)
Paper: Kraft, Whisper White CS, Pacific Point textured CS (SU); So Saffron DP (SU)
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point (SU)
Accessories: Corner Rounder, White satin ribbon, 3-d adhesive

Don't you just LOVE that whimsical doodled flower and "hello" sentiment? I can promise you'll be seeing more of that set from me in the future!

Well, it's Aloha Friday here on Maui and I'm headed over to my good friend Sarah's house for a fun-filled day of stamping with her and her mom, Leslie! You have no idea how excited I am about that!! I'm taking my new Slice machine for us all to play with, so be sure to stop by later this weekend and I'll show you what we come up with!!

I hope each of you has a Happy and safe 4th of July!! We're headed Upcountry to the big parade in Makawao Saturday morning, then will probably just chill the rest of the day. Maybe stop by some friends' for a cookout in the evening, but with Dean being so young yet, we don't really get too into the fireworks. I'm sure the rest of the neighborhood with have plenty for us to check out. Besides, on New Year's Eve the neighbors felt sorry for Dean that we didn't have any fireworks, so they brought us a giant handful of sparklers (despite my protests that Dean was WAY too young to be holding a flaming-spark-shooting-stick from his hand)!!
