That's My Daughter

Hi, I made this card last night. I was lucky enough to win this cute digi from Karber Digital Images. She reminds me of my daughter--the pink glasses, purple crocs and that look when she knows she can eat a cupcake! That's what she looked like when we ate lunch (just the two of us) at Genki Sushi the other week. We were surprised that they had cupcakes and curly fries along with sushi. Interesting combo, huh?

This digi is called Cupcake Leslie. I put some stickles on her cupcake.

The flower is made from PTI felt and dies. Buttons and the note paper die are also from PTI.

I'll be entering this card in 3 challenges this week. That is a record for me.

There is a recipe challenge over at ACLP. I had to use one flower, 2 designer papers and 3 buttons. That's part of the reason it took me so long last night to make this card. I just couldn't decide where to put those elements on the card. I knew I wanted to use the papers I picked. I decided to just use a strip of the cupcake paper on the bottom of the note paper die. The hardest was deciding where to put the flower and buttons but finally I placed them in the corner along with the scalloped corner to try to balance everything out.

Color Me Copics also has a straight hair tutorial. And I can honestly say that I watched the video. It was so informative. I should watch the videos more often. So I tried the technique on this digi since she has such a big hair space. I'm not sure if the contrast shows much. I only have 3 brown copic pens. I have to practice this more.

I'll also enter this in the Karber Challenge Girl Card.

I made this card to give to my daughter on her birthday but she already caught a peek of it this morning. It's hard to hide things from your kids when they start getting older. Must go now. Thanks for reading!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
