TGF's Farm Fresh Friday -- Use Lace!

Image
By
Hi!  Wow, another week has flown by!  It's already time for another Farm Fresh Friday with The Greeting Farm.  Sara is hosting this week and she wants us to use lace to create a vintage style card.

I used Latte Anya!  Isn't she adorable?  I rarely ever do much distressing but I got out some distress inks and inked up the edges of the papers and the main image.  I'm happy I got to use some of my pretty lace ribbon that I had bought a little while ago.  I used my Perfect Layers rulers to mat the main image too.  I seem to always mat at 1/16th of an inch.

I stamped Anya on watercolor paper and used watercolor pencils to color her in.  I hand wrote the sentiment and added a little flower button and rhinestone.

Please head over to TGF's blog to check out the rest of the DT's creations and join in on the challenge.

Thanks for reading!

Hello!  Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy.  I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with.  I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles .  You can find the pattern HERE .  Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute.  But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not.  It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use.  Here is a different view of him.  Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom.  I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot.  I tried stitching one h...

Snowman gift card holder

By
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 throug...
