mad about you

Hi!  The Greeting Farm is having another fun challenge!  You know I can't really resist challenges.  I don't know why but once a theme is announced, my mind starts racing!  Haha.  So it's March Madness over at TGF and the first week's theme is Mad About You -- create a lovey dovey card/project.  The theme just totally reminds me of Belinda Carlisle's Mad About You song.  Remember it?


Anyway, because I had just finished making such complicated projects, I thought I'd go the simpler route this time and just make a card.  Haha.  But there was still some thinking involved with this but not too much since I finished it in one night.

I used MFT's heart dies to cut out some hearts.  Originally I had wanted nesting hearts but I don't have any!  And these hearts are all just stuck together so I went with that.  I thought the layout was still pretty and interesting looking, plus I had to tell myself stop thinking so hard.  The mad about sentiment was made with PTI's Simple Alphabet.  And I added some red felt to the smallest heart.

A little peek inside. 

Closer peek.

TGF's Birthday Ian!  I heart him a lot.  I love the banner and I always imagine that he is proposing, not saying happy birthday.  Hahaha.  So I made the present look like that all important little blue box.  You know from where! 

See, simpler right?  Well, I had fun with this one. 

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

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...
