Oh the Places You'll Go!

Hi everyone!!  It was a holiday today for us here.  My kids slept over their aunty's house last night and so today me and hubby had a nice, quiet dim sum lunch!!  So peaceful!  I actually got to taste the food!  And it was so yummy!

Anyway, TGF had a fun chit chat over on SCS tonight!  Lots of chit chatting and there are challenges and prizes!!  Click HERE to see all the challenge details!

I made one card for the Olympics inspired challenge.  There are 2 other categories too so lots of ways to get inspired and start creating.

I used Do Si Do Anya!  See her gold medal?  She won gold for cuteness.  Hehe.  I made the medal out of gold origami paper left over from the time I got married many years ago.  The banner is heat embossed and from TGF's Bannerific set.  I used PTI's alphabet dies and felt for usa.  There is some bling here and there too.

Hope you'll join in on the challenges!!

Okay, short post today.  Thank for reading!

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...
