have a merry xmas

Hi!  I've been feeling kind of in a rut these days.  Today I was so indecisive, I couldn't get anything crafty accomplished.  I literally wasted my day and I was irritated at myself for doing that.  So finally I just started doing something and thought to play along with TGF's Monday Funday #7 to use Twi-Color Combo (red, black, silver/white).  I'd go watch the new Twilight movie too except I don't really know anyone that would watch it with me.  Guess I'll just wait til the DVD. 

I decided not to use Twilight inspired stamps and thought the color combo could be xmas-y as well.  'Kay, I threw a little green in there then thought shucks, I should've colored the leaves silver or something.  I love this Holiday Anya!  She is so stinkin' cute.  I colored her hair with Copics and my black Prismacolor pencil.  Added a whole bunch of bling and the circle sentiment is from Wild Rose Studio.

So basically, it took me the whole day just to make this card even though it's relatively simple.  Ugh!

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Cute card! I love the way you did her hair and clothes! Awww, I would go see it with you! Would there be a bunch of teenagers crowding the theater? Yeah, I've only seen the movies on DVD at home too. I think after reading the books, I can wait until it comes out on DVD.

I know what you mean-- I love those days where you get to make three cards at one time!! This is still so fabulous! And I think it's so well thought out. Love the inking/ misting, the cool shape behind the doily, & the doily itself! You coloring is stunning and I adore that poofy trim!! Aww, too bad you didn't get to watch BD! :( too bad it's not a kid-friendly movie. I thought it was pretty good but kinda weird towards the end.

Fantastic card and love that you used the fun new Anya! Great doily and the bling reminds me of a fancy wreath. Thanks for joining this week's Monday Funday at TGF's Farm Fresh Challenge blog!

Wow Eva, I think this card Rocks! I am glad to see that I am not the only one that gets into a rut from time to time. I must say however that had you not said anything no one would ever have guessed it as this card is truly fantastic. I love how you have colored Anya and I love how you have added the colors with it. This is just super super festive. Hugs, Lisa G

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...

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...
