TGF Heart Journaling--week 19

Hi! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and did lots of shopping! I sometimes buy gifts throughout the year so I can't remember if I already bought someone something. I have to dig out all the gifts and start wrapping so I can check them off the list already. We bought our tree too and the kids decorated it and I have to say it looks pretty this year. We didn't even unwrap the tree to check it before we bought it. It looked pretty fat in the middle and so we were happy that when we brought it home, it looked pretty symmetrical and full.

Anyway, it is week 19 of TGF's Heart Journaling. The theme is Chaos. And I almost forgot to do the assignment! I would've kicked myself if I missed this week when it's close to the end. Well, I guess I have too much going on in my mind. At least I remembered to pick up all my kids today at the time I'm supposed to. Hehehe.

I went with the "organized" chaos idea that was mentioned in TGF's post. And it really reminded me of Christmas shopping in the mall. It is so crazy, don't you think? The other day I went to the post office and there was already a line of people waiting for it to open! I try to do all my shopping when the stores first open. It is so much easier with parking and less people too. I stamped some of the Miss Anyas and Ians in Xmas-y colors to create the crowd at the mall. Thank goodness for online shopping!!

Thanks for reading!

Oh, I thought you were crafting this whole time! I already posted everything I made :( Good thing I started early since I already gave one card away, although I don't think I can make enough cards this year. I don't think I even really go to the mall anymore. Yes, lots of online shopping, or Costco or Target if I need something in person. Sounds like Walmart was just plain chaos this Black Friday, some crazy shoppers out there. I'm a little slow with the family Xmas photo this year... I guess that's the next thing I need to work on.

oops, I forgot to comment on your layout. That looks cool with all the overlapping Anyas and Ians. Nice color combo!

Awesome! Loved how you compared the assignment to Christmas and Holiday shopping! I do some shopping throughout the year too but did mostly online shopping this year! Your take on the challenge is wonderful! Very creative!

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...
