Sock Snowmen

Hello all.  I have a "craft" post for you today.  I LOVE to find tutorials online, and thought I'd share one that turned out pretty good.

Cute huh?  This was Beanie's project.  She was able to cut the socks, stuff them (we used a plastic pellet stuffing found at Michael's - I don't trust to stuff with food items), pick out eyes and buttons, and style their hats.  So that's really a LOT on her own.  Find the great tutorial HERE while it's still winter.  We don't get snow, but these two adorn Bean's bathroom sink.

Penguin with Roses

Hello all and Happy Sunday (**so much for Auto Post).  Today I'm sharing the current Stella Says Sketch at Catch the Bug!

I'm using Penguin Roses and left it without a sentiment on purpose....because I was lazy.  Plus, I couldn't decide if this should be love, friendship, thinking of you, anniversary....

 Orange is my DH's favorite color.  So maybe this could be a get well card.

Don't forget to play along for a chance to win!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Big Package with Kenny K

Hello and hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  Today I'm sharing a little card I made for this weeks challenge at Kenny K's Kraft Krew, and this week it's a sketch!

Sketches are my favorites and a great start point.

So....what do you think?  He's Delivery Guy and I think he's handsome.  Could make a good birthday card right?

And this week is being sponsored by:

 

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

Father's Day Moose

Hello all!  This week at Catch the Bug, the challenge is:

PHOTO INSPIRATION

These are hard for me but I gave it a go.

I figure I'd go with the color and the MOOSE!  Yup, got real fancy on this one ;)  So hope you get a chance to join in!

Love Ewe

Hello all and Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing this weeks FREEBIE FRIDAY from Bugaboo Stamps!

Very cute and perfect for Valentines Day.  It comes with a sentiment but I made the ticket instead.

If you'd like, you can download my TICKET or the POLKA DOT PAPER AND TICKET (PDF). The paper is sized 4.5" by 5.5" - so just a little room to trim.  I suggest printing it out on light weight cardstock.  And don't forget to pick up the Bugaboo freebie too!!

This meets the following challenges:

• CRAFT - Valentine's Day/Love
• Dutch Dare - Winged Things
• Crafting by Designs - Polka Dots

Valentine Book with Birdie Brown

Hello all.  Tonight I have class, so it's going to be a LONG day.  Today I have a quick post using this month's freebie from Birdie Brown.  Her digi's are adorable!

I colored the digi on the computer, then printed it on kraft (8.5 x 11" kraft makes 2 books).

I cut approximately 12 pages of colored paper (regular printing paper) in half - so they measured 8.5" by 5.5" - I also cut the kraft in half as well (same measurements).  I did score the kraft just so I would have a sewing line without marking my CS.

Simple straight stitch, folded everything in half, put under books overnight, and done.  Two little books the same size as an A2 card.  Little Valentine gift for Bean and her cousin.  If you have questions or something doesn't make sense, just let me know!

This meets the following challenges:

• Digistamps 4 Joy - Anything Goes
• Joyful Stamper - Inspire me Friday
• City Crafter - Forever Mine (use hearts)
• Our Daily Bread - For a Child

************OTHER STUFF**********
So, in October, I got my DH a Groupon for his birthday to go hang gliding.  He LOVED it and was hooked.  He's been doing it ever since.  Well, he was up for a certification (yup, you need certifications to jump off certain type hills), and this is what happened:

Over a dozen facial fractures, broken nose, and nerve damage.  His helmet was in pieces.  But thank the Lord that he's alive.

You Mean So Much

Hello and happy Wednesday.  Today I'm playing with some freebies.  I find them all over the place and collect the ones that I'm drawn to, and always hope to use.  So that's exactly what I did!!

The gorgeous flowers are from Oak Pond Creations and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.

I actually ran out of yellow part way through my coloring and had to wait for my Copic refill shipment!  Do you know how long that takes?  Well, it takes 3 days, but it feels like forever!

I popped up two of the flowers and the white sentiment circle (that is placed on white).  Was going for a little dimension.  I also shaded the flowers with chalk inks.  This style is a little different for me, but I'm happy with the end result.
