Enter The Dragon...

Everytime I start thinking about a dragon title, I always end up with "Enter the Dragon".  Not that I'm a big Bruce Lee fan or anything, just think its a cool title.  hee hee.

Enough being silly.. are you liking our new images?  I feel like they are old friends since I had stared playing with them about 3 years ago.

So I went outside my comfort zone a bit and was determined to not color the dragon red, orange and yellow again.  I guess in my mind, Chinese dragons are always those colors?!  So after I saw Laura's dragon colored up in a purple/gray color, I thought I should give it a try too...



I'm glad I took the plunge and decided to go with a different color palette.  The background paper used is by DCWV.  Its from their Far East paper stack.  I love those papers, but have never had the chance to use them... So I dusted off the paper pad and picked out this cherry blossom one.


The two tags are by PTI.  I embossed the kraft one using a Sizzix embossing folder.  The sentiment is by Island Scrapbooking.


This gift card holder was made using my envelope punch board.  My new favorite toy!  Used the punch board to make the tab you see behind the dragon.  It then hooks into pocket below when you close it so it stays shut.

Don't forget to visit our Zodiac team.  It's their LAST POST for the entire release!  Let's give all of them a round of applause for all the hard work and creativity they've contributed to Sister Stamps.  Love you ladies!

Year of the Dragon...

Aaaaahhh, yes!  Our very last zodiac image!  The Year of the Dragon!  As I mentioned to you in earlier releases, I am pretty sure I have family members in every sign of the zodiac.  My brother-in-law is the dragon in our family.  He is an amazing photographer (which is why I added that tiny My Favorite Things camera!  Love it!).  You can see his work here...  

I guess I got a little washi tape happy with this layout.  I think I got excited with all the washi tape that matched my dragon colors!  Guido's name was cut using a Lawn Fawn alphabet die set.


This picture was taken on my sister and brother-in-law's last trip home.  We tagged along on their trip to Aulani Resort and had an awesome time!  Thanks Guido & Denise for letting us tag along with you guys!

Speaking of Aulani... I can't resist sharing this photo of me and my sister!    Somehow I convinced her to go down the water slide with me using the two man raft.  OMG- we screamed and laughed the whole way down!  Good Times!


OK enough embarassing shots for now!
