crafting this and that

Hello!  I have another little tag to share today for All That Scraps February review of Sweet November Stamps. It's similar to the one I shared in my previous post.  For this tag, I used Sweet November Stamps Bonnie, sentiment from Eggstra Special Sentiments, Birdie Day, Chickadee die, Egg die, Grass Border die and Four Season Fence die.  The tag is a die from Papertrey Ink. Here is a close up of sweet Bonnie.  I love the little birdie too.  He is such a cute little addition to any project. Today's the last day for the reviews but March previews will start soon and the stamps are super cute!  Thanks for reading!

Hello!  The weather here is still a little wet and still a little windy!  Like a mild hurricane.  Every so often there is a strong gust of wind.  We recently took our kids to the Pali Lookout .  They had so much fun fighting the strong winds.  And there were chickens!  And little chicks too!  We get so excited when we see little farm animals.  Kind of like how we get excited seeing a squirrel when we travel to the mainland.  Haha.  After, my hair was all twisted and tangled.  Good thing my daughter had hers in a ponytail. Here's a little tag I made to share over at All That Scraps -- Anything But a Card .  The little cutie is called Cracked Lula.  I used a bunch of stamps and dies on this tag.  The sentiment is from Eggstra Special Sentiments and the bird from Birdie Day.  The dies I used are Eggs die, Chickadee die, Grass border die and Four Season Fence die.  You can find all these at All That S...

Hello!  Just a reminder that Yumi & Fumi is having a challenge right now!  It's a pretty simple one too.  All you need to do is case DT member Sandie's card . Here is my card featuring Yumi and Fumi.  Aren't they fun?  Love how happy they are.  The sentiment is from Wild Rose Studio and papers are Doodlebug.  I got to use some of my flowers that I've been hoarding. Here is a closer picture.  I just realized that I forgot to add in some color on their cheeks!  But they are still sweet.  I added some liquid pearls in the background too. Please head over to Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts blog for more info and to see the sweet prize that is being offered for this challenge.  It's amazing! After cleaning and trying to organize all my crafty stuff, I realize I have a serious addiction to rhinestones and pearls.  I didn't realize I had so many!  I will be adding more of them to my cards. Have a wonderful ...

Hello!  I'm just popping in to share my review card featuring a new stamp line called Drozy's Darlings sold at All That Scraps . This image is called I Found It.  I really wanted to give her some fun hair so I made it pink.  The sentiment is from Eggstra Special Sentiments and that little die is also from CC Designs called Stackables.  I was happy that I could use up some of my scrap Doodlebug paper from last year.  I still love this paper pad too.  I can't wait til all the new Doodlebug pads come out next month!  I am waiting to get those. Please head over to the ATS blog and check out the rest of the review! I better get going before I lose my internet connection.  The weather here has been so wonky with rain and strong winds.  I think it's making my connection slow and intermittent.   Thanks for reading!

Hello!  I have another card today that is kind of Valentine-y too.  I had her printed out and just sitting on my desk for a while.  Finally I got around to coloring her up and making her into a card.  And I can actually enter her into Saturated Canary's challenge #37 too!  This is Saturated Canary's Hugs and Kisses.  She was a freebie but is now available for purchase HERE .  Krista Smith is so very generous with the freebies!  I added a lot of hearts here since the challenge theme is Love.  The large one that frames the image is from Cheery Lynn.  The smaller ones are from CC Designs as is the hugs sentiment.  I used my Perfect Layer rulers to mat the image also.  Papers are from Doodlebug.  Still working my way through that pad. Here is a close up.  And I took out my bottle of liquid pearls to add little dots in the background.  I gotta start using my supplies more! Before I go, I wanted to say Than...

Hello!  Hmmm, I think I totally missed Valentine's Day.  Did I even post anything Valentine-y?  I had all these cute Valentine stamps and digis out but didn't get to place any of them onto cards.  I finally did make a card with this cute digi that I won from a new digi store called Time for Tea Designs .  She has got some cute images!  Her blog is HERE . This is the image I picked and she is called Heart Balloon.  Isn't she pretty?  Though I think, ... no, I know I messed up her hair.  Or at least that is not what I was going for.  Sometimes when I'm trying to go for that highlighted hair I kind of mess up and end up coloring the whole thing.  But I don't wanna waste the image so I still just go with it.  I'm gonna have to try this one again. Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!  I know that a lot of you think the Meoples are cute.  And last month there were cute baby Meoples !  I really didn't think they could get cuter than that.  But I was so wrong cause this month, there is a new batch of Meoples.  Have you seen them?  Asian Meoples !  Plus a cute little panda! Here is my easel card with calendar.  Aren't they super cute?  Especially that little panda?  I didn't want to just make an easel card.  Thought it should be somewhat functional and I had this extra calendar so I stuck it on.  There's still a good few months to go.  Next to the calendar is the newly released Cherry Blossom die cuts.  Here's a close up.  The sentiment is from Eggstra Special Sentiments.  I have CC Designs grass border on there too. I also used the Line of Lanterns stamp and die.  I stamped the lanterns first and colored/outlined them with my Copics.  Then I used the die to cut ...
