Relationship building moves like a turtle...

Hi everyone! Good morning! I know I said I wouldn't be crafting for awhile but! I was laying in bed last night and thought of all these cards that I need to make for myself. And while I was on vacation, my Pink by Design - Scripted Year Stamp Set arrived! I was dying to use it!

While we were in Cancun, Aeron proposed to Melissa on my birthday. I was happy to give her my thunder! It was about time! So I wanted to give her a congratulations card.

I thought this turtle would be perfect since it took Aeron 5 years to propose! "Relationship building moves like a turtle... SLOW & STEADY!"

Cancun was a lot of fun! I'm glad to be back home though... will be heading out to Santa Barbara on Saturday morning!

Easter... pails!

Hi Everyone!! I'm flying back from Cancun today. I probably won't craft for awhile. I'll be in Santa Barbara this weekend. Mike and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary.

This is my 100th post! Here is an old project. I made this last Easter for Nye and Mia.

Growing up a Buddist and in another country, I'm not too sure of the all the Easter traditions! I know it is big Christian/Catholic Holiday, as it is the day Jesus resurrected from the dead and that all the little kids get Easter basket with all kinds of goodies. Not sure what part the Easter Bunny plays...

I got the pails from Michaels for, of course, $1! The letters were cut with the Sesame Street Font Cricut Cartridge. I absolutely love the bubbled letters with the circles, squares, and triangle shapes! Inside the pail is just some goodies, a bag of cheetos, some chocolates, plastic eggs with more chocolate inside, a pack of thank you cards, idea pad, packing list, and Easter straws!

All of the items were purchased either at the $1 isle at Michaels or at the 99 Cents Only store.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Merci

Today we’re going ziplining! I’m afraid of heights so let’s see how this goes!

In an effort to use all the cartridges I own, I was able to use two cartridges in one card. I just love the Eiffel Tower. I hope I get to visit Paris, France some day. *hint hint Mike* I had to specify that it was Paris, France because knowing Mike, he’ll try to take me to the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas!

Happy Birthday to me!

25 years ago today, Audrey and Khin gave birth to their awesome daughter, Cynthia. Hehe. Happy Birthday to me! I am flying to Cancun today. I wanted my blog to still be updated while I’m on vacations. So, I’ve scheduled several posts! I know I don’t have a lot of readers, but I really appreciate the ones I do have. This card is dedicated to you!

I recently bought the Create a Critter Cartridge after I saw Wendy’s. It has a lot of cute animals. And again, can I tell you how much I love the newer Cricut Cartridges? The cuts are extremely easy to put together.

already on vacation mode

Hi Everyone! Today is my last day before I go on my vacation. I have tons of things to do at work.
I still have to finish all my homework assignments and quizzes for school tonight. AND worse! I have to take my actual test in Cancun because it's an online class and the test won't be available until Sunday.

Anyway, I wanted to do a quick post. I made this card a couple of weeks ago.

My 25th Birthday Festivities

Hello Everyone! Good morning. Since I will be in Cancun this weekend, I had my birthday celebration with my friends this weekend. The plan was for us to go to dinner and go bowling after. But during the day, my friends planned a surprised birthday lunch for me!


It was so cute and they went through so much to get it together. And of course, when Mike was bringing me to Wendy's house, I was being difficult and wouldn't go in the house until I saw Helen's car down the street. lol.

the table set up was so cute. since I'm a Spring baby, they did a Spring Theme.

Yummy yogurt parfait

Jam that Helen made herself

Sconesss

Bruschetta

Wendy went put her Imagine to work for the centerpiece. It said "Happy Birthday Cynn" across the table

My birthday present from Helen, MMai, TMai, & Sally.

Wondering why I'm holding a hubcap? lol Rony and I take the same Freeway to work. He always sees me on the Freeway and noticed that one of my hubcaps were missing from my car! Who knew plastic hubcaps from Toyota costs like $90 for each one?! Ridiculous right? Rony found one for me at the junk yard.

The first card Wendy ever made! She made cut everything by except the scalloped Circle with the Imagine. Mike forgot to take a picture of the inside, but inside was a pop up card! A birthday cake WITH candles pops out when you open it. It was SUPER cute!

Helen, MMai, TMai, & Sally got me a waterproof camera to use in Cancun! Canon D10. I'm excited to use it!

Wendy got me some hot rollers for my hair, which I was opening. She also got me some false eyelashes, a bikini set, some awesome CD cases from IKEA to keep my Cuttlebug folders and Clear Stamps that I store in CD Cases.

my delicious BLUE VELVET cake! It's from this bakery called Milk on Beverly Blvd in LA. I LOVEE THE CAKE!

making a wish and blowing the candle

pretending to cut the cake for the picture... Helen really did all the cutting.

Slice of the Blue Velvet and chocolate dipped strawberries Thao made.

My AWESOME friends! Sally... who was sick, was still a trooper and still showed up, Mmai, Wendy, Helen and Thao... who was afraid of radiation poisoning and almost didn't show up!
