Tiny Treat Basket

I wanted to practice more with the Scor-Pal and saw this cute basket on Cambria Turnbow's blog and I just had to make them for some friends.
They are so fun and easy to make.


My Picasa Web Gallery has more photos of the basket.

New Demo Cards RSC March 2008

Thanks to everyone who came by the booth. Glad you liked all the new stencils and merchandise. The new stencils are so versatile, mix and match.

Tiki and I received a wonderful gift from Suzan L. who made us both a St. Patrick's Day card and goodie. Too cute. Thanks again, Suzan. Beautiful work.

The Scor-Pal is so easy to use. I will have to experiment with it before the July RSC. Tiki only had our sample to take home to Hawaii. I made a few things with it at the show. So easy, but I have to figure out some of the measurements.

Here are the demo cards from Hawaii!


Suzan's St. Taj's Day card.

The next show is not until July, but hopefully Tiki will be able to send me files so I can post new stamps, stencils, and merchandise so you can keep updated.
Have a wonderful Easter!

View Taj's Cute New Things!

I'm not sure if this will work, but Tiki and I were talking about posting pictures of her new items on this blog. At least you will be able to see her new things and will be able to contact her to order. You may have noticed that her website has not been updated. We will try to post her new designs here until she finds another web designer. Thanks in advance for being patient while we figure out what we are doing!




taj of honolulu handtowels

Tiki designed this fabric and made bath and handtowels. She made them in several colors, but I don't know what is left. Sorry, I don't know the prices.




taj and jelli plushies

Jelli made her debut at Krafty Delites and sold out very quickly. Tiki will bring more to the RSC in very limited quantities. Isn't she perfect for Easter? Cute. If you would like one please contact one of us! Taj and Jelli are $13.00 each. Sorry, Jelli doesn't come with the ribbon necktie. I thought she needed something springy.




Girl's Day 2008

This is the new design for Girl's Day which was 03-03 or March 3rd. Comes in Adult sizes too! She has rubber stamps to match also!




Valentine's Day 2008

Valentine's Day shirt comes in adult sizes too. Stencil and rubber stamps come in this design!



Tiki also designed a Year of the Rat T-shirt which I do not have a picture of, but features a cute Panda carrying a trio of Chinese Rats. I saw some rubber stamps to match also.

Do you take your own shopping totes to the market? Tiki has silk-screened some shopping totes with some of her new designs. She will have a very small amount at the RSC. They are very, very cute.

She has so many new things that I don't have pictures of, but hopefully we will see you at convention this weekend and you can see them in person. If you can't make it, then come back and see what's new.

Set 9 Stencils March 2008

Here are the new stencils. Tiki is picking them up next week for the Rubber Stamp Convention. We also have the Scor-Pal in limited quantities, so if you would like one, please come early!

Set 9 Stencils 2-2008

Gomen na sai-Sorry

This picture has nothing to do with the post. Just like pictures and my doggy. She kind of looks like she's sorry too.

I am so sorry for neglecting the blog, but it seems it's been a pretty rough start of the year. Definitely not good times....

I talked to Tiki last night and she will be bringing two new shirts, Valentine's Day and her Girl's Day to Krafty Delites. Krafty Delites is March 2nd at the Carson Community Center. Girl's Day is March 3rd!

The following Saturday and Sunday, March 8th and 9th is the Rubber Stamp Convention and yes, another set of new stencils. I haven't gotten the blackline copies, but I will post as soon as Tiki faxes them over. She is swamped like usual.


Has anyone heard of the Scor-Pal? I have been hearing so many good things about it that I told Tiki and we will be ordering it for the RSC. Check out this website to learn more. Scor-Pal If I get it together, I will try to have a cute demo using the new stencils and the Scor-pal. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think. OR of course you can email me at dtakakuwa at gmail dot com

If I can do anything or help with anything do not hesitate to email me or leave a comment!

Hope to see you soon. A small bunch of us are leaving for a short trip this weekend to have a make and take! Good times stamping with the girls. Too fun.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a very healthy, happy and prosperous 2008!
Our group of eight women got together last weekend to trade and bind our recipe book. Everyone brought their pages and one dish to share at our potluck. What fun! Everything was so delicious! We had such a nice time being together and gabbing.
We are all grateful to Mona who owns the binding machine and also designed our book cover. We decided on The Rolling Riceballs because we all come to our stamping get togethers with our rolly carts filled to the brim with crafting goodies.
Our next meeting will be in February for a Spring Card Making session. This time around instead of making the cards, we will design and make kits for everyone to assemble at the meeting!
Hope you get some ideas for your own get togethers!
