Another Mystery Monday

By
Hello, I finally have another card. Eva has been busy this past week! Which is a good thing since I was on spring break and now need a vacation to recover from my vacation. Unpacking and doing all the laundry after a super long car ride was really tiring, and I didn't even drive! I must be getting old. Anyhow, here's my card for Mystery Monday over at Club Anya. I seem to be off schedule with the Saturday sketches nowadays.

I finally got to use my new Creeper! (I need to go browse some blogs and galleries and pay closer attention to how people color curly/wavy hair). I again used the Basic Grey paper pack, Urban Couture, that I used for my first Creeper card. Somehow it seems to match the vibe of the Creepers.

I used the big heart doily (thanks, Eva! again!) in place of the curved piece. I was debating about cutting it in half, but then thought it might look weird like that and instead just let it cover most of the card and patterned papers! I also cut the red piece down a little so more of the blue background paper would show since I got a little overzealous with the distress ink and everything looked brown! Hopefully it looks like it I tried to match her dress color and not like I just picked a color out of the air.

I used a PTI birthday tag stamp for the sentiment and mulberry paper flowers with PTI buttons tied with floss.

Well, this might be it for me again for a while. At this rate, I'm never going to get through all my new stamps!

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

By
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...
