School Time

By
Hi!  Just a quick post since it's getting late.  I wanted to join in on TGF's Mystery Monday for the week and it's almost the deadline.

This is just the cover to the next book I'm planning to make.  This is TGF's Annika, one of my first stamps and also one of my favorites.  She is just so cute!  Anyway, I plan to make this into a 6x6 scrapbook of the elementary school years.  So each couple of pages will be dedicated to a specific grade so you can add that school year's picture and record some special memories. 

Behind Annika is cork that I bought in a 12x12 size and die cut.  It has a sticky back so that was convenient too.  Just wanted to try that since I was at Ben Franklin today and at J's.  Heehee.  Two craft stores in a day but I still didn't get everything I wanted!  J's was already sold out of TGF's Blush line.  Insert sad face here.  Oh well.

Off to bed for me.  Thanks for reading!

So cute! Yeah, Annika is cute, I don't know why I like those bun hair things so much. Love the school accessories on cork! Awwww, well, maybe the stamps will be cheaper if you wait a few months. Good luck with Mystery Monday, maybe you'll win a stamp!

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...

coffee cup shaped cards

By
Hi!  I think after this post I may need a little nap!  My right shoulder is actually feeling worn out from all the typing and photo editing I've been doing lately.  And this cooler weather is making me drowsy.  It's getting cold here already! I made a bunch of these coffee shaped cards using a die from Honey Bee Stamps .  It's a cute coffee set but the die is extra long so it would probably help to have a longer platform to diecut.  I just have the standard sized one so I would pass it through once in my Big Shot and then rotate the cardstock and die carefully to cut the other end.  Manageable but the longer platform would be more convenient! I embossed the front of the card with some pretty snowflakes.  I think this is a Sizzix embossing folder.  And then stamped the coffee sleeve with some Lawn Fawn stamps. This is the inside.  The gift card slot does not come with this coffee cup die set.  I cut that opening with one ...

Knuffle Bunny

By
Hi!  The Greeting Farm had their Customer Challenge & Chit Chat Night "A Night at the Bookstore" and introduced a few challenges.  I have to say chatting was too fast for me and I couldn't really keep up.  It was still early here, and I had to pick up the kids from school and activities and make dinner and eat and so I guess the timing didn't really work out with our schedule. You can check out the challenge details on the SCS forum HERE .  I made this card for Favorite Child's Book category.  It is based on the Mo Willems book Knuffle Bunny .  It's one of my kids' favorites and it's such a cute story.  We actually love reading Mo Willems' books especially his Elephant and Piggie series.  Those books are hilarious!  This challenge also made me realize that I haven't read many books recently except kids' books.  I used to love reading but just haven't given it much time lately.  Anyway, here is my card. If you've read the story...
