HM card with mini clothespins , from the past!

I saw this today on Hero Arts blog, the card with mini clothespins. I remembered i made a similar card back in March 2003, using my fav. hero arts stamps; santa's jacket, boots & hat, and i scanned it, saved it in my computer. The card with mouse is what i made. I used white fun flock on fuzzy parts of those three. I made this card, imagining the mouse relaxing on the beach after he helped santa, delivering the presents! I was living on the tropical island back then, so the scene was "the beach", with my fav. palm tree!...pic. is a bit different from other pics on my blog cuz back then, i didn't have a digital camera, but had a scanner. Now i don't have a scanner, but have a digital camera :-) (not a great one, though...)

Clean and Simple Stamping challenge 95

yes, again, my mind now is "4th of July", but i made enough "4th of July" card! lol This card is very simple but i followed the sketch as close as possible, and in reality, i'm planning to use this card for a military personel, ADDING something under "Bless the USA". I have plenty space there, to make this card More Personal. If i need more "4th of July" card, i'll stamp "happy 4th" :-)

HM Anniversary Card

I made this for my yahoo club friend's anniversary. She gave me this image a couple of months ago, and i decided to use it. She has a very long marriage to celebrate, and i thought these two mice lookedd so close to each other, great for the anniversary card :-) On the sec. pic. you can see Perfect Pearls on its steam from the tea pot. yes, i did place those tiny lavender color pearls one by one on the teapot!

Father's day/Male card on Simon Says Challenge

this is my submission to this challenge. Although my father passed away at his young age, i'll send this to my mom and she will stand this up by my father's pic. :-) The colors of the sunset is just like the one in Guam... 2nd pic. is inside of the card.

today is... National Doughnuts Day!!

Recent years, when i think of Doughnuts, i remember Malasadas! It's Very Very Very Yummy!!! I bought this in Guam several years ago, when someone from Hawaii opened a store in Guam. When i lived in Hawaii, i learned it's VERY popular there. And yesterday, i learned there are many portuguese descendents in Hawaii, and it's a portuguese doughnut!! This is the recipe & pic.of Maladasas; http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Malasadas/Detail.aspx This doughnuts day reminded me of my childhood, when i lived in Tokyo... doughnuts with Sweet Red bean paste inside of these small doughnuts. It was also really good but haven't had one in ages...
