I worked on two birthday cards today! They’re for my friends’ birthday dinner tonight. They’re turning out really nicely. I love this EK Success Cupcake punch. I’ll have to write a tutorial soon. :)
Above is a photo of the girl birthday card. :)

Everytime I go traveling, I try to stop by local scrapbook stores to pick up a few special things I can’t find at home. Of course, this trip to Hawaii is no exception!
I was unsure about where to start, so I asked on Twitter where the best scrapbook store in Oahu was. @TweetPea sent me a link to Joscie’s “Scrapbooking in Hawaii list” and I couldn’t be more happy! Going down the list, I fell in love with the store named “Pineapple Cove.”
At the Rethink Hawaii Tweetup, I was asking people about local scrapbook stores, and I someone sent a tweet out about my question, and again, I was pointed to Pineapple Cove! Wow, now I really HAVE to visit this place!
Well, I’m finally at the store, and I have to say, it’s a pretty big place full of scrapbook and crafting goodies! There are tons of paper, stickers, wooden cutouts, albums, diecuts, and much, much more! I picked up a few Hello Kitty Sizzix Diecuts, wooden flowers, and a few other things. I was quite happy! :)
Although the shopping part was fun, the best part was probably meeting ManLe, the store owner of Pineapple Cove. She’s the sweetest and nicest person ever. She was teaching me all kinds of scrapbook techniques and giving me ideas for projects… that believe it or not, I can’t wait to go home to start working on.
I spent hours in the store, just learning about techniques, chatting about scrapbooking, Twitter, and other social media topics. I know staying in a store for a few hours is not something people do on their vacation, but this was a slice of heaven for me. If you love crafting and you’re in Oahu, be sure to check out Pineapple Cove! I’ll definitely be back on my next trip!
Day 6.. My husband and I went searching for Paper Island because that was one of the places I wanted to go on our visit. Our wonderful GPS took us in circles all morning. We even ended up driving around Chinatown, and no scrapbook store in site. We eventually found the Honolulu store after making a few 360′s and wrong turns. It was a lot smaller than I imagined. After talking to the store manager, it turns out that this is their card and invitation location. The bigger store is actually in Waikiki (where I was at!) haha I had a great chat with the store manager though. Very friendly people. He even gave me a small tour of his store. Check out the clip.
