crafting this and that

Hi!  Thanks for all the birthday wishes for my youngest.  I think he got everything he wanted though sometimes his wish list is never ending.  Just like my crafty wish list. Today is a review of CC Designs over at All That Scraps .  I really love this month's summer and princess themed stamps. I made these little favor boxes using Meoples' Once Upon .  Aren't they cute!  I thought these could be used as table decorations and favors for a little princess party.  I left the top of the box unsealed so it can be opened. Here's the cute unicorn.  The boxes were all made from CC Designs Cube Box die .  The sentiment is from AmyR's Simply Enchanting Sentiments . Here's the knight in shining armor!  I made the little flags from the Frilly Banner die .  The 5th is cut from the Mini Alpha & Numbers die . Here is the adorable dragon.  This sentiment is also from AmyR's Simply Enchanting Sentiments .  The flag po...

Hello!  Sorry, my post is late!  My youngest turned 5 today so I'm a little behind on everything.  We had a huge chocolate fudge cake that even I thought was super sweet.  Today, Yumi & Fumi Handmade is continuing with the Hang Loose Preview with Summer Fumi. Here she is -- Summer Fumi!  Love her long hair!  The Aloha sentiment is also part of this new release and you'll see more of it later this week.  I've had these papers a long while too!  I think it's Doodlebug.  I also used my Perfect Layers rulers for the mats on this card.  I crocheted the flower behind the sentiment with some twine. Here's a close up.  You might wanna head over to Yumi and Fumi Handmade Crafts to see Leanne and Sandie's creations too.  Be sure to also link up if you want a chance to win her.  See HERE for the details. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello!  I am excited to share that Yumi & Fumi Handmade is having a new release this Saturday, June 15th!  There will be previews on Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts blo g this whole week leading up to the Hang Loose Release. Today is Summer Yumi's turn to be in the spotlight.  I love her summer clothes and cute hair!  The sentiment and flowers are also part of the new release and will be introduced later on this week.  These papers are a bit on the older side but seem like new to me since I haven't seen them in a while!  I can't quite remember what company the papers are from.  I used my new ruler from Perfect Paper Crafting called what else, the Perfect Ruler , to cut out the sentiment.  The ruler is easy to use and my kids even use it!  I also used my Perfect Layers rulers to mat the papers and sentiment on this card. Here's a close up.  Please head over to Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts blog for more info about the Ha...

Hello!  Today's the last day of previews at All That Scraps .  We're sharing our creations using Tickled Pink's Lil Lads and Lolitas.  The June release will be available Thursday. Here's my card featuring Umbrella Lilith and Sunny Sentiments.  I kind of like how this card came out.  I used some older Echo Park papers and used a couple of scraps too.  I used my Perfect Layers rulers to create the mats for my leftover scraps of paper. Here's a close up.  I think I like how the sand turned out too.  And she's a pretty cool image that I had fun coloring up. So we said good bye to my daughter today.  She is at the airport waiting for her flight to the east coast.  Her 2 younger brothers were so sad!  My kids are close like best friends especially my older two.  One of my boys said in the car that now he has no one to talk to and play with.  Hello, your younger brother is sitting right next to you and what am I? ...

Hello!  Welcome to another day of All That Scraps June previews.  Today we are introducing some cute Sweet November Stamps princesses.  These four princesses are adorable and I wanted to create a fancy schmancy card.  I remembered the tutorial on SCS called the bendi fold card so thought I'd give that a try.  There a lot of photos here so hope you make it til the end. This is the front of the card.  The two front flaps curve and tuck into the card behind it.  The princesses reminded me of the Disney princesses so I colored them up like them.  All the sentiments are from AmyR's Simply Enchanting Sentiments. Close up photo.  Right behind her you can see the head of the other princess.  I colored in some hair to the back so it wouldn't look weird.  When you open the right flap you can see the next 2 princesses.  The birds are from CC Designs Birdie Day and the tree is a die cut.  I used the die to cut out all th...

Hello!  It's Drozy's Darlings previews at All That Scraps . My card features Rose and AmyR's Simply Enchanting sentiments.  I used some older princess papers that I had in my stash.  It really helps not to throw anything out! Here is a close up.  She's very pretty and dainty. I thought I could start waking up later nowadays, not my usual 5:50 am but I still haven't.  My youngest has been waking me up so early and startling me in the morning.  I don't know what it was yesterday but before it was to tell me he had to pee.  Umm, okay, please just go pee without telling me.  Then this morning he felt nauseous.  Then threw up.  So I had to get up and wipe it all up.  Thank goodness for leather sofas.  I don't know what that was all about cause now he's totally fine!  Tomorrow maybe I can sleep in a little?  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!  Today is the start of June previews at All That Scraps and another month of cute new stamps!  Love this month's release!  The images are so cute but you will have to wait until Thursday, June 6th 9 PM EST for their release. I am sharing Birgitta with Popsicle and Flipper Peep.  They are both sweet and cute but I really love Flipper Peep.  He's such a cutie! A little close up of the duo.  They are so ready for summer!  I am already getting my days mixed up and being a bit lazy and summer just started! This week is a busy week with the start of kids' activities and my daughter's trip.  I will be a little stressed trying to make sure all the details are taken care of.  I am trying to squeeze in some last minute words of advice and hopefully she'll remember but yet I don't want to stress her out.  I want her to learn and have fun and remember and take pictures and eat yummy foods and make friends and see that she can be in...
