this chicki way back in the hana-bada days (back in the 7th grade). We both bonded really close, cause we were both Visayans. There ain't much Visayans here, but it's not like we were trying to start a club or anything like that. Just that it was something we had in common, ya' know?! She has moved to San Francisco almost about 14 years now, and we'd get together whenever she returns. I have been meaning to make this card for her for a while now... but it just hasn't come to me. And now, it finally has. hahaha... So here's a card for my Indai Hanilie, who gave birth to a baby girl, a big one too 8 lbs, 2 ounces!!! Ouch!!! She named her daughter, "Eilinah".... sounds so Hawaiian, and original doesn't it? It's actually HER name spelt BACKWARDS!!! How cool is that?!Ok - well the other 2 reasons why I made this card was for 1, Maria's "TIC" which stands for "Tuesday's Inspirational Challenge". This is her 1st TIC Challenge, and it is to create a card using 5 or more layers.... not sure if I've accomplished it, but I'll have to see if she's going to accept it. I've also used this card for a sketch challenge on Tracy's site, "Tracy's Happy Place". Her sketch can be found here - and the thing is, you must use a Bella stamp for her challenge.
So there you have it - my creation for today... hopefully I can whip up a few more before I go to bed. But we'll see... right now I gotta go look for stuffs for my 9000 hits giveaway (OMGawd!!!!)...
Hugs,
Jen
That's an interesting background you have - and yes, I did think you were Hawaiian! So glad you found a friend & have stayed close all this time, even when separated by distance! Very pretty card. I love this paper.
ReplyDeleteShe looks awesome!! Thanks for playin' :0) I am hoping to get to your challenge this weekend too!
ReplyDeleteThis card is great! I love that Au chocolate paper!
ReplyDeleteSister, LOVE the card and your story! Love baby's name too, so clever!
ReplyDeleteHey Jen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card and a great way to do 3 things at one time! You are a major multi-tasker!
Yeah, there's not too many Visayans in Hawaii. . mostly Ilocanos. Here in CA, they are mostly Tagalog. I'm Ilocano as you can probably tell. It's funny how we can tell the difference.
It's really nice of you to make a card for your friend! That's the beauty of being able to make your own cards. . .you can personalize them!
Thanks for participating in my very first challenge. . .I posted your card on my "Card Inspired" blog site!
Have a great day!
Maria
Love the colors -- great card.
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked out your blog in a while and there's a lot going on there. Your blog is so very inspiring. I absolutely LOVE your Bella card - way too cute! I've never tried a sketch challenge, I just might try one of yours. Cheers!
