A Monster Bookmark

Another a little bookmark. This one I made for my older son. He loves this stamp from Dandelion Designs! I think it is super cute too.

Some times when I stare too long at this stamp, I think their eyes could be their nostrils and you could stick some googly eyes on top. Well, maybe it's just me.

It was my daughter's birthday the other day and I was going crazy trying to find the birthday card I had made for her some weeks ago. I guess I hid it too well and I forgot where I hid it! Usually I put all my finished cards into a little filing box but I couldn't find hers. I searched for a good couple hours every where on my crafting desk and my cabinets and through all my papers. Still couldn't find it. And so I told my husband that I thought someone took it! In retrospect, it sounds a little ridiculous. So I decided to give her a different card I had made. I knew that once I wrote in that card that I would find her original birthday card. Doesn't it always work that way? And sure enough after I wrote in the card, it sparked a little memory of me placing the card on my jewelry box in my bedroom. Why did I hide it there? So in the end my daughter got 2 birthday cards from me this year. I think I need to exercise my brain more. My memory is not what it used to be.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

What cute little monsters! Now I can't stop imagining nostrils! Nice grass coloring! I thought I saw 2 of your cards on the birthday gifts photo. I thought your boys signed one or something.

These two are so cute, the kind of monsters I like! After you saying that, yes I can see the eyes being nostrils and being able to put some goggly eyes up higher, LOL!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

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 ...

I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

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...
