TGF Heart Journaling--week 20

Hi! It's week 20 now of TGF's Heart Journaling. The assignment is to create a page based on a dream, goal or wish. I created a page based on my son's dream of a white Christmas. He has been telling me a lot lately that he wants to see snow and build a snowman so hopefully one year we will go on vacation to do just that. Though I don't know if I would really enjoy the freezing weather. We're too spoiled here with nice weather all year long.

I used PTI's tree die and cut some fun foam with it. I used the fun foam tree like a stamp and stamped a bunch of trees together. I really like how the trees turned out. I added some flower soft for the snow on the trees and added some stickles too. The rest are stickers from Echo Park's Everybody Loves Christmas set. I think this scene fits perfectly with what my son would like to see one day.

Wow, I can't believe I've been keeping up with this journal! It seems the days are going by super fast. I can't keep up with all the activities! It doesn't help too that I can't seem to stay awake past 11 anymore. I just need to sleep.

Thanks for reading!

Wowwowow! Love your scene especially the trees and snow! Very creative! I'm sad that my kiddies may not see snow this Holiday season either!

PS. You can always go on vacay where it's not super cold but still see and play with snow. We've been going to the Lake Tahoe area, border of CA and Nevada. They have ski lodges too!

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...
