Aloha Friday Challenge #5

Before we get into our FIFTH Aloha Friday Challenge here at Kitty Bee Designs, we'd like to give the biggest birthday shout to our lovely Tania, who celebrated her birthday yesterday.  From the islands, we'd like to wish you a wonderful birthday!!  Hau`oli la Hanau!!  Hop on over to her blog and wish her a wonderful birthday too!

I can't believe it's already August... Public schools here in Hawaii start their school year next Monday, the 5th.  What happened to our summer?!?  I spent yesterday evening at open house, meeting the new teachers and putting away school supplies so the kids will be ready to go on Monday.  Part of me is excited to get back to a school-year routine, but part of me is sad that I have no more mornings sleeping in!

That being said, I thought it only appropriate for the next challenge to be:

Aloha Friday Challenge #4

Aloha no!!!  and welcome back to our Aloha Friday Challenges at Kitty Bee Designs. Can you believe this is already our 4th challenge?  

We'd like to introduce the final 3 members of Team Bees... 

Hi, I'm Katherine and I am thrilled to be part of the Kitty Bee Design Team! I have been stamping and scrap booking for about..well let's just say since the supplies began hitting my local craft stores! I love sharing my hobby with others through my blog, and have been teaching paper crafting classes and workshops since 2009. In my other life I am a Mom to 3 wonderful children and one granddaughter (a second is expected soon!) and a teacher!

Aloha! I'm Leanne and I'm beyond excited to be joining the Kitty Bee Design Team.  I was first introduced to Kitty Bee Designs when I was a member of the Lollipop Crafts team and instantly fell in love with these adorable images.  Talk about kawai-iiiii! >.<  I love making cards and the occasional 3-D project.  Looking forward to this new adventure and sharing here with the wonderful & talented ladies on Team Bees and Ruth's adorable stamps.

 

Hello my name is Shirl Nases; I live on the Big Island of Hawaii.  I’m married to the most wonderful hubby in the world.   Unfortunately I’m a SAHW (stay at home wife) or you might say lady of leisure, LOL!   I previously worked as a Dispatcher/Supervisor for a Petroleum Co on the island for 16 years until hubby said I could stay home and do the things I love and one of them is crafting.  I know, he spoils me rotten!  I’ve been crafting for several years prior but never took it really serious until I stood home.  Lots of my family and friends kept encouraging me to get my crafting show cased until I met a friend that was into blogging and introduced me to blog land.   Since then I’ve been blogging just almost 4 years now and love every moment of it.  I love anything do with paper, love learning new techniques and ideas and the best part meeting so many talented people out there.  Everyone has their own special talents and so inspiring.  I'm so thrilled to be part of Kitty Bee Design Team and working with the rest of the talented members here.  I just love the images and can't wait to show them off to you.. 

Thank you ladies for joining us and we are so happy to have rounded out our teams.  Next week we will introduce the final 3 members of our DT.

So without further ado, here's the next challenge:
