<p>
Today I am working on organizing my Kawaii Craft Room. It's been a HOT MESS for quite sometime and I haven't spent anytime working on any craft project in my room. I have absolutely no desire to work in this mess so I have just been avoiding it like the plague but today I am determined to get my room back to being neat, clean, organized and functional again. I miss crafting in my space.
<P>
Here are the before pics to show you my HOT MESS. ***WARNING*** It is really bad. Please don't judge me. *WINK*</p>

I had a wonderful weekend!!<br />
<br />
I am so excited to share with you that I finally got my very first IPhone 4S. Woo Hoo!!!! I bought it on Saturday. I seriously can't believe all the cool things I can do on it. I've had a Itouch for a few years but the iPhone is just AMAZING!!!<br />
<br />
I've been playing with my phone all weekend. I am now on Instagram. Please follow me. I'm Puakalehua72.<br />

Anyone have any recommendations for me?<br />

I'm a little bit late with posting this entry as I have been gone all day and neglected to get this posted sooner. I just wanted to stop by and wish all of you a Happy Easter for those who celebrate it.
<p>
Here is a card I created for <a href="http://www.atozdesigns.com/ssd/">Swing Shift Designs</a>:
</P><center>
<img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7251/7026288545_6c5f3ba36c.jpg">
</center>
</P>This is a surprise pop up card I created using a vintage image from <a href="http://www.atozdesigns.com/ssd/SSD500/lg_spring3.jpg">Spring 3</a> collage sheet. I used a blue chalk ink to distress the image. I also used a dark chocolate brown cardstock paper, a vintage white scallop lace, vintage music sheet for the background which is distressed with the Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink. I embellished the card with a handmade lace flower (plus paper flowers), a yellow beaded stick pin, a butterfly charm, and another image of the chicks are also from the same collage sheet. The chick image is then layered with UTEE and distressed with the Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink.</p>
<p>
I hope you all enjoyed your day.

Here is my project I created. I used the ever so beautiful Girl Flower Butterfly digi image by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff. Today's project is a lovely surprise pop up card. I am all into the interactive cards nowadays. These cards are very fun to make and quite easy to do.</p>
<p>
I colored the digi image with Copic markers and Lumiere acrylic paints. I wanted to add a lot of variation in the image by working with both. I used a white vintage rose lace trim for the background. I cut the lace into strips and adhered it to the pastel blue cardstock. The size of the card is 5" x 6". The image is matted on a pretty aqua cardstock and adhered with pop dots. I use the pop dots in about every project I create. The embellishments I added on the card are: a vintage scallop lace trim, mulberry paper flowers, a handmade beaded stick pin, turquoise flower rhinestones, 2 small metallic butterfly stickers, stickles, and glossy accents. I finished the card by stamping the sentiment "thinking of you," from a Studio G stamp I purchased at Michaels.</p>

<P>The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day here in Cali!!! It's still a little cooler than usual but still beautiful.</p>
I just wanted to share with you a cute mail in your mailbox swap I hosted via <a href="http:swap-bot.com">Swap-bot</a>. This is the envelope I sent to my partner. I ♥love♥ to decorate my mail. I try to do this as often as I can although sometimes time does not permit me to send deco envelopes out all the time.
<p>
Here are the pics:

<p>I've been having great days of mail lately. WOO HOO!!! I must get back to writing a few letters. I have been a bit lazy these days and think it has to do with this weather.

I made a lot of new pallies at Penpalling and Letters on Facebook as well as here on blogger. YAY!!! For those who wrote to me lately... Thank you SOOOO much!!! I also am working on a few letters for a few of my pallies (Jacqueline, Kristina, Allie, & Jackie V.) I have some goodies of cute mail to send out to you. I haven't forgotten about you gals. *WINK*

<br />
I hope all of you had a lovely day. As for me it was a pretty good day. I received a call for a job interview which is for tomorrow morning. WOO HOO!!! I'm really excited as I'm soooo anxious to get back to work. It was nice to have a little break but I'm ready to go back. Please keep me in your thoughts and say a prayer for me. Thank you!!!<br />
<br />
Here are two Hello Kitty theme decos I created for <a href="http://keikolynn777.blogspot.com">PurityFaith700</a> and <a href="http://lovelovemail.blogspot.com">LoveLoveMail</a>. I think they turned out cute and of course very pinky. LOL! I will be passing these along to one of the gals in <a href="http://http://www.facebook.com/groups/2415760185/">Deco Swappers</a>. <br />

<br />
I also joined a simple Kawaii Sticker Postcard via <a href="http://swap-bot.com/">Swap-bot</a>. It's been a while since I've participated in any swaps there. I found this swap and thought it was an easy peasy swap to do. I also enjoy making these postcards. They are quite fun. I hope my partner will like it.<br />
<br />
I used various Kawaii sticker flakes from sticker sacks, index cards, cardstock, and laminated the postcard with clear transparent contact paper. I LOVE this stuff!!! It's great to laminate paper projects.<br />

<br />
Today it was soooo beautiful I had to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine sitting under the Apricot tree in my yard. I've been cooped up in the house for the most part as I am currently not working. *SIGH* I hope to find a job real soon though as I'm anxious to go back to work.<br />
<br />
This is a pic of the Apricot tree with the lovely blossoms in full bloom:<br />

<img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7058/6819762722_e081ce2415.jpg"><br />
Aren't these blossoms gorgeous? I thought about using these photos for creating postcards.<br />
<br />
I gathered a bunch of my stationery, crafting supplies, stickers, pens, etc to write letters and create some decos. I only had a few hours to enjoy the sunshine since I started rather late in the day but perhaps I will do this again tomorrow.<br />

<br />
I just joined <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/penpallingandletters/">Penpalling and Letters</a> on Facebook. I thought I share this group with you. You can also visit <a href="http://penpallingandletters.blogspot.com/">Penpalling and Letters Blog</a>. I was asked to post an intro on their Facebook page as well as a Penpal Want Ad if I'm seeking pals so this is what I came up with:<br />

I hope you like it. Today I will be spending the day writing a few letters, working on some swaps, packaging stationery orders and will post an update later.<br />

<br />
I hope you are all enjoying your day! I slept in rather late. *SIGH* I went crafting with my girlfriends on Saturday from 11am-11pm. I didn't do a whole lot of crafting but it was great to just hang out and have some girl time. :)<br />
<br />
Here is a paper bag card I created using The Greeting Farm Cheeky Howdy stamp. I paper pieced her outfit with scrap papers and colored her with copic markers. I used the Cherry Paper from the All About Girls paper pad. I also created the beaded charms attached to the paper bag card. I embellished the cherries with stickles, added paper flowers, and a white organza ribbon. She is matted on red cardstock and popped up with pop dots.<br />

Yesterday I got to meet a new friend at our meetup group who is also a deco swapper. It was wonderful meeting Mali. This is the first person I know who actually lives nearby me that does deco swapping. She was working on a bunch of lovely decos and inspired me to jump onto the bandwagon (again) to do deco swaps. I joined an awesome group called <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/2415760185/">Deco Swappers</a> via Facebook. I can't wait to start swapping decos. If you have a facebook you should join the group as well.<br />
<br />
I want to share some decos that were made for me and returned. It's always a wonderful surprise to receive these decos and see the outcome of it and to know where it traveled.<br />

<br />
Here is my project I created using this beautiful <a href="http://scrapbookstampsociety.com/auction_details.php?name=Mitzi-SatoWiuff-Wisteria-Digi-Doodle-Download-Stand&auction_id=101857">Wisteria digi image by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff</a>. <center><br />

<br />
I created this card using an ordinary paper bag. These are the standard lunch bags that you can purchase at your local grocery store or dollar store. I love creating with lunch bags. They are fun to alter and create something new.<br />
<br />
I adhere designer paper from the K&CO's The Painted Garden paper pad. I love this purple floral design very much and thought it went well with this image. I paper pieced her dress using a scrap piece of paper from Prima's Sparkling Spring collection. It's a very faint light pink floral paper. I then colored the rest of the image using copic markers and then added lots of clear stickles to the background and the fairy wings. I embellished the card using silk flowers, a vintage pearl button, a handmade beaded stick pin, a beaded charm with a cute fairy and sentiment that says Serenity. <br />
<br />
Here are more pics for you~<br />

The charm attachment is made from a safety pin. I then modified it to create a latch using jumprings. I punched an eyelet with my cropadile and attached the charm to the paper bag card.<br />
<br />
Here is a close up of the Silk flowers (purchased at the Dollar store). I added lots of sparkle with stickles so I really wanted you to get the full effect of it. Sometimes a little enhancement digitally adds just the right touch.<br />

This it the inside of the paper bag card. There are two pockets. I made some tag inserts and the journaling spots I created using Photoshop CS4. Do you see the pretty wisteria floral background faintly on the journaling spots? I love the way they turned out.<br />

<br />
Spring is in the Air!!! WOO HOO!!! <br />
<br />
I would like to share with you two fun cards I created today. I used paper piecing and copic markers to create these cards. I am really loving the technique of paper piecing as it gives me an alternative to create more aside from coloring.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the first card I made using the digi image Garden Nellie Lil Dollie by Sherri Baldy~<br />

<br />
I paper pieced her outfit and ribbon on the hat with designer paper from DCWV Flower Shower Spring Mat Stack and colored with copic markers. I also paper pieced her hat using a mustard color card stock paper from DCWV. I embellished the card with a Recollection floral and lace trim. I distressed the card using Studio G pastel blue chalk ink. The background paper I used is a butterfly design from Prima's Reflection collection.<br />
<br />
Here is the 2nd card I created using Polly Polka Dot by Sherri Baldy.<br />
<center><br />

<br />
I paper pieced her outfit and hair bow with designer paper from K&Co's Spring Blossom Spring Mat Stack and colored with copic markers. I embellished the card with a lovely hot pink trim from Bo Bunny, glittered ribbon I had in my stash, an iridescent pink bow applique and pink rhinestones. I distressed the card using Tim Holtz distressing inks in Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose. The background paper is a pink card stock and floral rose pattern from the same K&CO. mat stack. I added the sentiment 100% Girly Girl from the Girl Stamp set by Recollections and used my Marvy Scallop circle punch.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed my projects. Please feel free to leave me a comment as they are always appreciated. Thank you very much!!!!<br />
