When my husband and I visited Hawaii for our 18th anniversary, I dropped my cell phone in the causeway on the way to the plane. I was very fortunate to have a gentleman who found it, and called the number I had put in the “I’m lost” screen. It took about a week for the return of the phone. I am forever grateful.
I had his address from the envelope he mailed the phone home and took the time to buy a small gift card and make a card for him. In this process video you will see some very loose water coloring. I purposed to not really stay in the lines so that when I die cut the images I would still have a very almost soppy water color effect. While the paper was still damp, I folded the petals so the piece was more dimensional.
This is one of my favorite things to do. I also pretty much used scraps I had to complete my card. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section down below or email me directly at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com.
If you make a similar card, please let me know, as I would love to see your creations. Please don’t forget to share my post on your social media accounts.
Today’s project uses Lori Whitlock’s Die. Click here to order the die from Michaels. There are two paper collections also used, summertime and I love sunshine also from Lori Whitlock, manufactured by Eco park.
For embellishments, I took advantage of the stickers from the paper pad. I also cut out a bow for the front closure. This die is from Pink and Main. I like this die so much, I’ve purchased 5 of them, so I can die cut as many bows as I may need for projects.
The fun tabs on the pages were made using punches from my personal collection. The closure uses a small circle Velcro self adhesive circle. It was the perfect size for this project.
In my project since I am using photos from my recent trip to Hawaii, I decided to keep the pallet fun and bright.
As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com please put the name of the project as your subject so I know the email is not spam. I will appreciate that very much.
These small pockets will hold an insert that is approximately 3 3/4″ X 2 7/8″. to print off these small pictures, I used my Polaroid Zink Printer. Amazon has a really great value on this printer, which includes the zink paper. Click here to buy yours.
One of the neatest things about t The Zink paper is the ability for an instant photo that is actually adhesive backed. This has many advantages, one of which includes the ability to use these small photos as a sticker, which is exactly what I accomplished with this project. You can also print lists, small photos, date reminders (the list is only limited to your imagination and technology). Making this an idea item to have in things such as personal day planners, or printing off pictures for pen pals, family and friends. I highly recommend it. I’ve had my printer about 4-5 years now and really am still enjoying it. It is not very large so it fits easily into your purse.
My husband and I did enjoy our trip to Hawaii. We visit the island of Oahu. This trip was a celebration of our 18th Anniversary. During our adventures another couple from our church joined us for a day and a half of sight seeing. It couldn’t have been a better trip, except for one tiny exception.
Oh I shouldn’t say tiny, I dropped my cellphone in the causeway at the Hawaii airport. One of their workers found it, called (my husband’s cell) and returned it safely to me. To say the least, I’m working on thank you card for him that will include a Visa gift card. There aren’t enough people like Mr. Frank in the world. I am so grateful I didn’t need to replace my phone and this gentlemen was kind enough to return it to me.

Please note, I saved for this purchase for a long time and want to remind you that you need to do what is best for you and your family in the area of finances.
I am a my favorite things stamp company frequent flier. As such, I am able to purchase their new releases a day earlier than most. Let’s just say through the years I fancy myself to be a connoisseur of their products. Let’s face it, its an addiction. One I do not plan to get any therapy for in the foreseeable future.
In their latest release, there is cuteness overload. First off is this adorable dinosaur set. Recently I purchased a pack of 12 X 12 paper from Tuesday morning that will fit the bill (so to speak) for making cards with these stamps. Click here for the stamps. All links today are not affiliate links. I just like their products.

Scripture tells us:
Luke 12:48
“Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.”
Whether you have money or not, you do have time. Your time can be a blessing to someone. We are all limited in the number of days we are allotted on this earth. How will you be a Stewart of the days you are given?
I personally know that my gifts include loving people and enjoying crafty endeavors. I choose to use these to bless others. Trust me the blessings return to me 10 fold. I am very thankful for each of these wonderful people who came out and supported this ministry.
