A Monster Bookmark

Another a little bookmark. This one I made for my older son. He loves this stamp from Dandelion Designs! I think it is super cute too.

Some times when I stare too long at this stamp, I think their eyes could be their nostrils and you could stick some googly eyes on top. Well, maybe it's just me.

It was my daughter's birthday the other day and I was going crazy trying to find the birthday card I had made for her some weeks ago. I guess I hid it too well and I forgot where I hid it! Usually I put all my finished cards into a little filing box but I couldn't find hers. I searched for a good couple hours every where on my crafting desk and my cabinets and through all my papers. Still couldn't find it. And so I told my husband that I thought someone took it! In retrospect, it sounds a little ridiculous. So I decided to give her a different card I had made. I knew that once I wrote in that card that I would find her original birthday card. Doesn't it always work that way? And sure enough after I wrote in the card, it sparked a little memory of me placing the card on my jewelry box in my bedroom. Why did I hide it there? So in the end my daughter got 2 birthday cards from me this year. I think I need to exercise my brain more. My memory is not what it used to be.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

What cute little monsters! Now I can't stop imagining nostrils! Nice grass coloring! I thought I saw 2 of your cards on the birthday gifts photo. I thought your boys signed one or something.

These two are so cute, the kind of monsters I like! After you saying that, yes I can see the eyes being nostrils and being able to put some goggly eyes up higher, LOL!

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...
