TGF Heart Journaling--week 20

Hi! It's week 20 now of TGF's Heart Journaling. The assignment is to create a page based on a dream, goal or wish. I created a page based on my son's dream of a white Christmas. He has been telling me a lot lately that he wants to see snow and build a snowman so hopefully one year we will go on vacation to do just that. Though I don't know if I would really enjoy the freezing weather. We're too spoiled here with nice weather all year long.

I used PTI's tree die and cut some fun foam with it. I used the fun foam tree like a stamp and stamped a bunch of trees together. I really like how the trees turned out. I added some flower soft for the snow on the trees and added some stickles too. The rest are stickers from Echo Park's Everybody Loves Christmas set. I think this scene fits perfectly with what my son would like to see one day.

Wow, I can't believe I've been keeping up with this journal! It seems the days are going by super fast. I can't keep up with all the activities! It doesn't help too that I can't seem to stay awake past 11 anymore. I just need to sleep.

Thanks for reading!

Wowwowow! Love your scene especially the trees and snow! Very creative! I'm sad that my kiddies may not see snow this Holiday season either!

PS. You can always go on vacay where it's not super cold but still see and play with snow. We've been going to the Lake Tahoe area, border of CA and Nevada. They have ski lodges too!

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire through the hat and then use it as

coffee cup shaped cards

Hi! I think after this post I may need a little nap! My right shoulder is actually feeling worn out from all the typing and photo editing I've been doing lately. And this cooler weather is making me drowsy. It's getting cold here already! I made a bunch of these coffee shaped cards using a die from Honey Bee Stamps . It's a cute coffee set but the die is extra long so it would probably help to have a longer platform to diecut. I just have the standard sized one so I would pass it through once in my Big Shot and then rotate the cardstock and die carefully to cut the other end. Manageable but the longer platform would be more convenient! I embossed the front of the card with some pretty snowflakes. I think this is a Sizzix embossing folder. And then stamped the coffee sleeve with some Lawn Fawn stamps. This is the inside. The gift card slot does not come with this coffee cup die set. I cut that opening with one of the dies from MFT's gift card dies.

Knuffle Bunny

Hi! The Greeting Farm had their Customer Challenge & Chit Chat Night "A Night at the Bookstore" and introduced a few challenges. I have to say chatting was too fast for me and I couldn't really keep up. It was still early here, and I had to pick up the kids from school and activities and make dinner and eat and so I guess the timing didn't really work out with our schedule. You can check out the challenge details on the SCS forum HERE . I made this card for Favorite Child's Book category. It is based on the Mo Willems book Knuffle Bunny . It's one of my kids' favorites and it's such a cute story. We actually love reading Mo Willems' books especially his Elephant and Piggie series. Those books are hilarious! This challenge also made me realize that I haven't read many books recently except kids' books. I used to love reading but just haven't given it much time lately. Anyway, here is my card. If you've read the story
