Yumi and Fumi Handmade Challenge #17 reminder

Image
By
Hello!  I think I am behind on stuff!  Already feeling some of the summer laziness.  But the past few days I've been having some mild headaches in the afternoons and evenings so I've been going to bed early instead of doing my usual coloring and card making.  Today I feel better.  I think that afternoon nap helped.  Love it when the hubby makes dinner and gets the kids to take a bath early. 

Back to the real purpose of this post.  Reminder time again for Yumi & Fumi Handmade's Challenge #17.  Create anything for a Father figure following the challenge guidelines. 

I used AJ Lion for my Father's Day card which I think is sort of non traditional.  I've had these papers for a while and use them every time I color up AJ Lion!  I can't remember what company they are from.

Here's a close up of the sentiment.  The letters are die cuts from All That Scraps and the father's day sentiment is from My Guy clear stamp set. 

I'm thinking about selling some of my old stamps and dies (Pure Innocence and Papertrey Ink).  I just need some time to sort through them and maybe take some photos of them.  They are all hardly used!  Which is why I think I should sell them.  I am running out of space.  Hope you're interested!  I'll try to list them soon on my blog.

Thanks so much for reading!

Great card Eva, I would definitely say he's Father's day material for sure. Especially with the awesome sentiment! This is soo cool.
Hope you're feeling better, maybe it's that wet weather that's been happening in Hawaii... Allergies, so glad you have a hubs that can take over sometimes to give you a little break.
Take care!

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...
