Grouchy Christmas cards

Hello! I had a lot of fun at the last craft fair talking with one of the vendors next to us selling fabric. She is so nice and friendly! And wow, she sews very well! I think we did fairly well at the fair. Sold a lot of cards and sequins and a little of this and that. Slowly dwindling down on my used stash of stamps and dies. But I still have some! Totally wish I could sell them all before Christmas but looks like they'll be taking up some floor space still. I am thinking that was my last fair for the year. I'll be trying to keep my Etsy store better updated and supplied.

A while ago I hurt my right hand. More specifically my thumb. Every now and then the pain comes back and now it's back. I guess I have been crafting more but everyday activities aggravate it. Stuff like turning on the car ignition, pouring water, typing, using my phone, cutting vegetables, etc. Even now! I really want to rest it but here I am taking photos, editing photos and blogging. But I really want to share these funny and grouchy winter/Christmas cards.

You may have to click on the photos to see the sentiments. But they just crack me up. I made simple cards with these images and sentiments from Taylored Expressions.

These are the last two. They really remind me of something Grumpy Cat would say. She cracks me up too.

Anyway, I must go prep some meals now and use my thumb some more. Hopefully I'll have some time to let it rest later. Grateful it doesn't hurt too much to color!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ha-ha-ha! I love that stamp set too and I have it on my wish list. You did a super job of highlighting their grumpy cuteness.

Ha ha, sometimes I feel grumpy like that this time of year! Now's a good time to distribute more chores to rest your thumb! At least you can still color while resting... :)

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 ...

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...

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...
