Move over stamps, HK time to shine!

Aloha Friday!!! yay!! well, i'm happy to report that i'm almost 100% better.... still a little stuffy, weak but i can't let that hold me down... lots of prepping for the craft fair this sunday, which means tonight will be a late night.... as long as i can last that is... thanks everyone for the get well wishes!!! your comments really brightened the days!!

back in stock and ready to be snatched up by customers! HK notepads....
just a few pictures of the finished ones i did last night (or i should really say this morning)... lots of new fun papers being used.... these notepads are really tedius work.... the HK's are actually... all are cut with the sizzix dies and YES i do cut out each and every whisker for each and every one that i make... so of course that takes some time... 6 notepads in a day is quite an accomplishment for me.... LOL... the challenge is trying to get different layouts... with the notepad being small and the HK's kinda on the bigger side, it's been hard... guess i could if i didn't use so much DP... hehehe!
and a few more... i have a bunch more to make and will be sharing that soon... gonna take a blogging break (from posting) for the weekend but i couldn't leave you stranded on this friday and was glad i had something done to share with you... so i'm hoping these will spark some mojo in you to get crafty over the weekend!

yesterday i tore up my craft room looking for ONE stamp!! boy did i make a mess in there... eek!! dreaded cleaning up but it had to be done and look who came to my rescue....my lil' monkey!! he was so cute dragging the broom up and down the hallway... =D he must have been saying "Mommy i'll help you clean your craft room, i'll sweep everything out the door and turn it into my playroom!" LOL.... oh thank goodness he can't talk yet! so after he was done i turned around and saw DD2 "flying" on the broom... all i hear is "Mommy look, i'm flying!" LOL.... too bad i was not near my camera to catch the silly moment... it was so funny!

enough blabbing for today.... i had a late start on this post and now need to catch up life! have a great weekend everyone, THANK YOU for stopping by and i'll be back on Monday with a creation for Lollipop Crafts!!

HK Round 2....

Sorry gang!!! had a late start this morning and it's overhaul in my hale... trying to wash my table skirts and covers and pack that away... and of course i'm NOT done crafting yet... LOL...

so curious minds want to know what the heck a RO-PREP is??? LOL... i apologize for the not so creative name... haha!! ok, so my version of a RO-PREP is a robot that will help me prep all my projects... i seem to notice that i spend endless time on measuring and cutting papers and such... come on now, there are robots that clean the house, so why not have one for crafting too! RO-PREP will save you time by programming her to measure and cut your papers, add adhesive and maybe even glue on your embellies... we could even go as far as having RO-PREP assemble 3D items for you to decorate... wouldn't that be sooooo cool??? i think i'd get more crafting done with the help... maybe i'm living a dream in the Jetson's age but hey, that's what i would create if i could... =D i came across naming this robot Mr. Mojo, but i honestly fired mine last week! LOL... i've hired Miss Creativity, but i might have to lay her off too... hahahaha!

alright, did that get your minds going?!? on to the LAST HK notepads... i won't be making more of these until probably October, so if you see one you like, either email me to save it and we can work something out or come check me out at the Keiki Jam Fest this Saturday at Keanae Ball Park from 9am-5pm... here goes....
using more of my FAVE papers... love the colors combos and prints... oh, and i only have 2 tanned HKs on these notepads, one in this post and one on yesterdays...
and the last batch... Swimsuit HK was perfectly paired with my "hawaiian" print papers... beautiful tropical colors by Best Creations Inc. too bad this line is discontinued... i do have a stash for future projects though!! again, all of these have room to add some kind of personalization to make this more personal for you or for that special someone.... crossing fingers that these sell out! whatever doesn't go i'll list it on the Krisp Krafts blog and then add it to my Etsy shop... so check back to see how these cuties did...

gottah get back to my ever so messy craft desk... if i manage to finish up the projects i'm currently working on (more HKs) i'll post it tomorrow.. it's overtime as my last late night before this event but during breaks i'll try and hit your blogs! Thank you for sticking with me, even through my crazy schedule!! until next time.... ALOHA!!

HK is back again!

Midweek!!! YAY!!! so looking forward to the weekend.... hubby and i have a little tropical getaway on Saturday as we drive to the lucious tropical paradise of Keane.... it's only for the day for a fundraising event, but the drive is scenic and just being out there in that part of the island is so relaxing and beautiful!! don't get to do that often, even with living on this island!! LOL

don't forget to play along with my 2 year bloagaversary candy... take the link above or scroll down... =D it is so interesting to read the comments and i'm LOVING the ideas!! don't know what i'm talking about??? you better go check it out!

ok, so this past Friday i went into a crazy mode and did an ALL NIGHTER!!! yup, i did... and i don't mean my usual, 3-4am... i lasted until 8am Saturday morning!! haha! yes i'm crazy like that... but i had to or else i wouldn't get anything done for Saturday... i tell you one thing though... it's still kicking me in the you know what! i think i'm too old to be doing that kind of nights... sticking to my usual if needed is better... hehe! unless it really has to be done, which i feel one coming up... i'm so behind on my bigger projects... like my son's 1st birthday! yikes...

so here is what i worked on that night...
more HK notepads for your viewing pleasure.... LOL... i tried to use as much scraps as i could, but it was a challenge not having much big pieces... i was kinda forced to cut up new sheets... now, my scrap drawer accumulated more scraps... how did that happen??? LOL... i was ok with cutting up new paper... most of them are older lines that i picked up during the clearance sale at BF... hey 25 cents a sheet isn't that bad... i'm kinda bummed though.. it was really nice papers and i don't think i have extras...
here's a few more.... that first one has my FAVE papers on it... i hope i have a few more of those... that was also on clearance and i grabbed whatever i could find... hehe! i bet you remember that paper from previous creations ;D.... love the color and patterns on the 2nd... who would have thought dots and plaid really go together... you won't catch me wearing that patterns together, but in crafting, it all looks good! those papers are from the DCWV School stack that i think i got at Ross'... the last one are papers that i know i found at Ross'... it's from the write out collection and so pretty and bold... tried to preserve as much of that paper i could since it was sold as a pack of single sheets... can't find that one anymore here... i had about 5 HK charms left so not all have them... i tried to keep space to add sticker letters for names or such... always tell my cutomers that if they want a personalized look, take stickers and spell out a name... these will be available Saturday at the Keiki Jam Fest, unless you want to snag one up now, email me... =D

tomorrow i'll share the last 7... all together i made 13 that night... now you see why i was up til 8?! hehe!

before i go, i'll share this... if i had to create the next paper craft hit, i would invent the
RO-PREP... LOL... have no clue what i'm talking about... stay tuned and check in tomorrow to find out!! gottah leave you with some suspense... cheers for a beautiful day!!

Blue milk?!?

as in blue milk cartons.... =D Happy Friday!!! i'm well aware of the hour this is posting, and i was suppose to have this ready by midnight, but i just had to watch the Royal Wedding!! did you?! BEAUTIFUL!!! that was truly a fairytale come true... oh and did you see Pippa's dress?? LOVE IT!! too bad i don't have the body to wear something like that... HAHA!

anyway, as little birthday present to myself, i finally ordered the SU! mini milk carton die from my GF Brenda, and was itching to create something with it.... didn't have the time to really play with it since arriving earlier this month... and well, since boy's day is around the corner, i wanted to have something for sale at the craft fair for the boys' too.... so i made a few of these...

blue mini milk cartons filled with flavored hard candies... i created a simple band to go around the carton using white CS and goldfish printed washi paper... generated the sentiment on the computer and cut them out using nesties... since the candies are not small enough to be poured out the spout, i decided to leave the top open and secured it closed by punching holes and adding ribbon... pretty simple huh?!

i'm not use to creating "boy" gifts as i have more intuition to create girly things... but i better get use to it since i now have a lil' boy in my family... =D oh and hubby put up the lil' man's carp the other day!! we finally have one at our house.... i've always wanted to hang one....

with so much to share and not enough time to do it, i figured why not share another creation made for the craft fair...

here are some notepads i've decorated by adding a cover to... like i said before, i forgot how time consuming working with the HKs are, but really worth the results.... this Aloha HK sizzix die is my FAVE and she is so fun to dress up! i've also added a HK charm to the ribbon... very simple layouts with some embossing and all of the papers are glittered....

okie dokes! time for me to end it here... THANK YOU again for leaving such beautiful comments!! i love reading them and i love sharing with you!! so come back tomorrow for a another sharing!
