CC Designs December Review --Snowman Flakes

Hello! This will be a quick post as I am trying to finish up a whole lot of last minute things. Where exactly does time go? Though I guess I did a lot of procrastinating too!

It's December review time over at CC Designs. Here is my snowflake ornament featuring Snow Flakes. I actually bought a foam activity kit for kids from Walmart to make these snowflakes. It was such a great deal and my youngest will be making his own along with his classmates on the last day of school. Theirs will be a little different in that they will use their photo for the center of their snowflakes. But I made this as kind of a sample for them and as something to hang on our tree too. I tied on a tag and a little snowman button too.

Here's a close up of him. He is so fast to color up. You could make a lot of fast Xmas projects with this guy.

That's it for now. Hope you are all getting your shopping done. I think I am but now there is a lot of wrapping to do.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

That's a cute snowflake ornament and I'm sure your son's class will love making their own. Every snowflake will be unique like every child. May your Christmas be glittery and 2014 be full of creativity.

I am always passing those do it yourself boxes over each time I go to Michael's never thinking how fun it would be to do something like this. Especially to distract the kids. hehe.

nuts and bolts

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...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

Snowman gift card holder

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...
