Surprise Birthday Blog Hop!!!

Image
By
Surprise!  Today we are celebrating Leanne Poe's birthday by throwing a fun birthday blog hop party!  We thought we'd gather a few of her friends and design team members to celebrate her special day.  If you came here from Rachel's awesome blog, then you are in the right place.  If not, you may want to start at Yumi & Fumi's Handmade Crafts.


Happy Birthday, Leanne!!!
Best wishes for a wonderful birthday!  Thank you for inspiring us, and for being so thoughtful and generous!  

I thought it'd be only appropriate to use this Fumi with Umbrella image.  I paper pieced her kimono with washi paper.  I love the colors on this paper!

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and I stamped it onto PTI's banner die.  I put a couple of score marks on each end so I could get it to stand like above.  Added some blue rhinestones too.

I will keep this short and simple so you can go ahead and visit the other ladies on this hop.  Next up on the hop is the super talented Carisa!  If you get lost along the way, please check back at Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts for the entire hop list.  Don't forget to end at Leanne's personal blog to wish her a Happy Birthday too!

Thanks for reading!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

By
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 ...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

By
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...
