Sister Stamps Miyako!

Hi! So I am telling myself not to be too lazy this summer because before you know it, it'll be Christmas! These days are going by so fast. I want to try to do something creative everyday. I hope I can keep up with that goal. The other day I finished up 9 more little Year of the Sheep calendars using Sister Stamps Sheep stamp. I think I shared one before so I didn't photograph the set I just made. Yesterday and today I stamped up Sister Stamps Miyako and just had fun coloring her up. Now that I have less DT commitments I have more time to just create whatever I feel like! I kind of missed that.

So here are the 4 I colored up. I tried to use colors that I don't use too often for kimonos. I think mostly I pick pink! Miyako is such a cute stamp! And I have a plan for her to go on some calendars along with a cute saying I found on the internet. Yup, she's not just for Valentine's Day!

I also started coloring up Yoichi because my middle guy is taking Taiko for the summer and I want to make a couple of thank you cards for his teachers.

I hope you have a great 4th of July! We're gonna be different and bake a turkey tomorrow instead of grilling. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Great job Eva~
I'm trying to be more pro-active this year... 2014 was a bit hectic and I don't want to fall in that same stress out mold. So I'm crafting as much as I can and need to refill my stash of cards... I just sold practically all my cards and need to replenish...hehe! Happy 4th~

Cute variations! Hope you had a great holiday and turkey! It has been too hot to grill! I did BBQ meat last week and standing over the hot grill when it's already hot outside is not fun!

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...
