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!

nuts and bolts

Hello! Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy. I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with. I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles . You can find the pattern HERE . Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute. But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not. It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use. Here is a different view of him. Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom. I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot. I tried stitching one h...

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

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...
