PTI Tag & Frame Challenge

Hi! Wow, it's not late at night and I'm actually done with this PTI challenge. See HERE for the details. I had some time to make my tag & frame in between playing Lego and Search & Find and eating lunch and taking a nap. My 2 year old was so accommodating today!

Here's the tag I came up with. I'm kind of stuck with this pink/green color combo. I used Tag Sale 3 die which I really love because of it's size and that little embossed border. For this project, I actually popped out all the little dots along the border and sewed a pink border with some embroidery floss.

Closer picture.

I have some Fillable Frames but I thought I'd make a frame like how Nichole did in her post with the circle dies. I used Nesties Labels One dies which match the shape of the stamp in Tiny Treats Valentine to cut my frame. The sentiment is from All About You. The You is stamped on vellum.

The frame is popped up a bit. Not sure if you can see that clearly. Added some ribbon, lace, bling, and a flower and I was done! I'll be ready for the next challenge! Though I wonder if I should make another Go-To Sentiment card.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all win a PTI prize? Just a lucky few, I suppose. Thanks for reading and yay, it's Friday! Have a great weekend!

Pretty! Argh, I knew I shouldn't have looked and read closely. I never bought any of the tag dies - but you've got me thinking, ack. Love how you popped the dots out and put in stitching - cool!

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 ...

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...

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...
