TGF Heart Journaling--week 16

Hi! Gee, I can't believe the week has flown by already and here I am trying to post my entry for TGF's Heart Journaling almost at the last minute again. I thought about quitting but I'm already more than half way there so I got myself to hurry up and make the page I wanted to. This week is to use hearts so I thought that should be relatively easy. But I didn't really know what to do with the hearts. Then I remembered this tutorial by Jessica Witty (see HERE) where she made a heart garland from crepe paper using a heart die. So I thought I'd finally try that.

But instead of crepe paper, I used tissue paper with my heart dies from MFT. I also stamped some hearts from TGF. The quote is one of my favorites and I love jewelry that has these little inspirational quotes. I don't usually by them for myself though. I think they make great presents especially for graduation.

Alright, that is it. This Saturday is our Lego Robotics qualifiers. I still have last minute photos to develop and some other stuff to complete. But I'm sick again and so is my youngest. The cold my daughter had is finally making its way through our house.

Thanks for reading and have a great week!

Neat heart garlands! You can finish the heart journaling! Can't be that many more weeks, right? I wonder if people can keep up through the holidays. Good luck at Lego! So much work for all of you. Crossing my fingers that we all don't catch anything more out here, I think we've had our share of germs from August through October.

Cool tissue paper journaling, Eva! And Lego Robotics sounds like a lot of work, lol. But I shouldn't laugh - my son loves Legos - so I might be in the same boat - hahaha. Hope you and your little one are feeling better soon!

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...

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...
