Yumi & Fumi Handmade Challenge #20 Reminder

Hello! I am back today to share my card for Yumi & Fumi Handmade Challenge #20 -- Celebration. You can pick any occasion to celebrate. I chose birthdays because it's always handy to have a birthday card around.

Here is Yumi Peace Sign. I chose pink and orange again inspired by the blog hop photo in my previous post. I never really thought about pink and orange but I kind of like it. I think the colors look pretty on a kimono. The sentiment and banner are from Lawn Fawn. I also used my new Sizzix cherry blossom embossing folder though most of the embossing is covered! And I got to use lots of my flowers on this one.

Summer school is almost done! I can't believe it'll be back to school soon. My youngest will be starting Kindergarten! We have been at that elementary school forever! Haha. I am so happy that I get to drive to one less school. Nowadays I gauge my day by how many drop offs and pick ups I have. I get so happy when I realize there's only one more pick up to go.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A gorgeous card and with beautiful coloring! The pink and orange is a great combo. I can't believe summer has gone by so fast...it seems I'm still trying to plan for June, lol.

Who knew those colors would blend together, I guess you just need the perfect shade of both, which you captured beautifully in her kimono. This is one beautiful card Eva!!
The kids are already starting school? Wow, didn't the summer just start? Well glad that you have 1 less stop to make.
Enjoy the rest of the summer!!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

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 ...

I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

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...
