You're O-fish-ally Awesome

Hello! Wow, June just flew by! I can't believe this is the last week of June already and I was supposed to share these bear cards for Father's Day a while ago. But this summer is so relaxing and I haven't been in the mood to blog as much. I've been crocheting more but now taking a break from that because my left hand gets really sore from crafting and doing chores these days. Signs of older age?

Here is the bear version for Dad using Lawn Fawn's Dad & Me set. I love the little fishy hanging from the daddy bear's mouth. I glued it upside down so it looks a bit more dead. Haha. The background is blended with distress inks on watercolor paper and the sun and clouds from Taylored Expressions. Oh, and his hat is super cute too!

Here's a card for grandpa too.

I've made a bunch more cards yesterday so I'll be sharing those slowly and listing them in the store as soon as I have the motivation!

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you are enjoying these summer days.

Ai, so cute. I just love the sentiment. Gotta remember that one for my hubby. He loves to fish.

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 ...

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...

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...
