PTI Color Challenge

Hi! I feel like a chicken without a head. All these challenges at PTI--so fun but at times overwhelming since there are things like chores and picking up kids and cooking dinner. At least my hubby was nice enough to do all the dishes tonight himself so I could finish up my card. And boy did it take me a while. Usually I veer towards the pinks and reds but then I ended up selecting Dawn McVey's colors.

So those were the colors I had to work with. And I actually had all those colors but I've never used them in that combination before. And I don't use too much dark chocolate.

I made a little birthday card using Tiny Treats Birthday. I was really afraid to leave so much dark chocolate on the card! Lots of die cutting for this card--edgers die, rick rack die, limitless layers die, and the labels die.

Here's the birdie!

Now on to the buttons challenge!! Thanks for reading!

Your card is so cute! Love how you have used the colors on it. This has been a fun anniversary. But meeting the challenges can be difficult. Maybe if I'd play the Lotto, I could win big bucks to spend at PTI!

I know what you mean! I'm not even participating in the challenges and I'm already off schedule, I didn't even have time this morning to look at your project. Love your borders and die cuts! All the polka dots are so cute! OK, I better go to sleep now.

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...

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...

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...
