Love ...

Hi!  Today's a new day.  I realize that I am not only a stress eater but a stress cleaner!  I finished off the chocolate covered almonds from Costco (I shared some too!) and managed to clean all our bedrooms, sheets, fans, carpets and did all the laundry too.  But I had to stop vacuuming because our vacuum just shuts off by itself.  It's been doing that everyday.  I vacuum a room and then it shuts off by itself!  Frustrating.  We need a new one.

Well, I did manage to finish a card!  TGF is now having sketch challenges over at SCS!


I chose to use TGF's Flutter Anya.  I haven't used this stamp very much so thought I'd give her some attention.  I've been trying to use stamps that I haven't even inked up yet before buying even more stamps.  My hubby said this card looked very busy.  I guess he is a clean and simple kind of card guy but sometimes I like to really embellish my cards.

I chose to color her in varying shades of red for iCopic's weekly challenge #67 -- red love.  I added some glitter to her wings.  I actually used some of my son's glitter glue and stickles.  There's some glossy accents on the hearts on her wings.  I added a love charm and a heart die cut from PTI's tiny tags.  The butterflies are from Martha Stewart and the leaves are also from PTI.

I'll also be entering this into Flutter By Wednesday challenge #188.

Thanks for reading!

Cute!!! This was one of the first TGF stamps I bought, I still like her a lot! Love her red outfit! Cute white accents! Nice take on the sketch. Cute embellishments! I think I need to use more of mine, now I'm accumulating way too many, I will use your stickpins one of these days... Wow, you cleaned a lot. I think I can only clean in small doses.

We must be on the same wave-length. I vacuumed, mopped, washed all throw rugs, baked, and sorted all my pics so I can get caught up on my scrapbooking. And yes, I too had a little too much chocolate today.

That being said, I can't believe you had time to do this fantastic card!! I think it's just perfect. I stopped asking my hubby his opinion, and now I only ask my 7 year old. ;) I love the paper too, just bought some myself a few weeks ago.

We're over half way through the week!!!

I was the opposite of you, while you did the indoors I did the outdoors - which was mowing the lawn, racking and pruning... Thursday is my day to do the indoors chores....
BTW love your Anya card, I have those bg papers too.....pretty flowers and teeny butterflies....

Fabulous card. The use of the Stickles and your son's glitter glue (I had to giggle at that one)are so perfect and that flower spray is divine! Thank you so much for joining us at iCopic Lovers this week. :)

Just gorgeous! Yay for doing something different and using up your embellies! Love that you used your son's art supplies - Flutter Anya came out wonderfully! Wish I was a stress cleaner too!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

By
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 ...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

By
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...
