Heavenly Heavenly Heavenly...


Or should I have said "Lani, Lani, Lani" instead? Which, of course, is what it pretty much translates to in Hawaiian. ;) teehee!
Hi everyone! It's Monday again and believe it or not, my weekend was nice and slooooow...maybe because I had nothing to do. Or was it that I did nothing? Anyway, a quick post today, with fun Digi Shack information.
First off look at that first pic in my sidebar...A sale at the Shack! 25% off a $10 order using that code, good until May 22nd. So come on over and shop. Click HERE to see all the fun images that Toni has put up on the shelves, you know you need a Lani for fun summery cards. ;)

The cards above were made for a swap on SCS hosted by my buddy Jen (go90feet). It just required a digi image; I happened to have hit the wrong button and printed out a bunch of Lani images when I first got them so I decided to put her to good use. Guess where I got the layout? From CardPatterns which, I have to mention, is being sponsored by The Digi Shack this week!
The DT there did an awesome job with the images...I especially LOVE Ingrid's...and Marie's...and Michelle's...haha! Okay, I loved them all!! Go check them out, this is the original sketch:
I took it literally as it worked well with scraps and hibiscus DP that I wanted to use up. Instead of a scalloped border, I cut a freehand leaf edge to mimic the one she's sitting on. Since the swap was only a 3+1, I detailed it a bit more. Here is a close up of the card:

Lani has bling on her swimsuit as well as on the pink drink umbrella. The coconut and her hair are flocked, and her lips are glazed over with a fun pen that I got from allthatscraps. I am happy that they are done and on their way to Jen! :D Have a wonderful Monday everyone! If you haven't entered my trick or treat candy, click on my sidebar and it will give you all the deets. A hui hou! (Until soon!)

*Love and Aloha*

You work are so beautiful, Joni! I LOVE the doll house on your header! My jaw dropped when I saw it. I always wanted to create a doll house like that but it never happen :)
