Birthday Blessings

Hi! So I wanted to share something that I made for TGF's December guest challenge. Yes, even though I wasn't going to participate, I made a card like a couple days before the deadline. Even though I had some more Lego stuff to do, I just quickly put something together. I don't know, maybe I didn't learn my lesson the first time about these facebook voting challenges. Somehow these contests are just not that nice to me.

Here's my little card. Actually it's not that little since the number one is kind of tall and I increased the size of the digital stamp. I freehand drew and cut the one out. I thought this was a different and fun kind of shaped card. Sad to say, I only got 3 votes. :( I'll go wallow in self-pity now for a little bit before moving on.

Thanks for reading.

Awww, I would have voted if I had known the contest was going on! I don't think I saw the photo album feed until Sunday, and by then everything was over and they had already picked the winners! Cute card! When I saw it on FB, I was thinking those ribbons were really cute.

This is adorable, Eva! I love that you freehand drew the 1 and embossed it. Your coloring is beautiful and love the little packages too. I don't play on facebook so no idea, lol.

Awww!!! When I found out you entered, I thought this was yours! I'm sorry you only got three votes. Hey, I didn't get a lot either! Those FB contests aren't nice to me either. Very cute creation! Love your embossed # 1 and how unique your shaped card is!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
