Princess!

Yes, my daughter is like any other 6 year old and has been smitten by the latest Disney princess movie. For her birthday, a couple of weeks ago, she had to have the dolls.

It was a must!

 

Well I decided to make this paper piecing that is similar to one of the characters from Too Cute by Jessica for her card. The file is from the Frosty Fairytale Friends Set.

 

 

My baby girl liked the card, but she told me the hair is the wrong color. "Mom," she said, "Her hair is not white, it is blonde." My bad!!!

 

The card is 4x4" square and I used all scraps from my scrap bins to put it together. I like when I have all the right pieces in those bins and I can use it up!!!

 

The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tag set and the twine is

Blue Berry Trendy Twine.

 

I'm so glad you stopped in today!!!

Floppy Bear

Nothing is better than a sweet freebie!

 

Little Scraps of Heaven offered a freebie on Wednesday to anybody who would make a project and post it to their site by yesterday. I finished mine just in the knick of time last night and shared it on the LSHD fan page; but I want to share it here with all of you as well!

 

 

This little sweetie is called Floppy Bear and even though it is no longer free, it is available in the Little Scraps of Heaven store. It was super easy to piece and oh so adorable. I decided I wanted my bear to be a girl, so I gave her a bow using Totally Natural Trendy Twine. The bear was cut using Tim Holtz Core'dinations and American Craft Cardstock. The background paper is from Doodlebug Designs new fall line called Friendly Forest. I really enjoy the color palette used by this company. So bright and fun!!! I made this a Thank You card using the Jaded Blossom Simple Sayings stamp set.

 

 

The bear was inked with Color Box inks with two shades of browns. The eyes and nose were inked with Memento Tuxedo black (Memento is my favorite ink by far). I used some Stamp' UP chalks that I have had forever around the eye and then used my Micron 005 pen to draw lashes. I also chalked the cheeks with some pink. To finish it off and to make the eyes come alive, I used my white Gelly Roll pen to add some details.

 

Super easy and super cute!!!

Throwback Thursday - Scaredy Cat Says Boo

I decided to do post today for Throwback Thursday. Last September I decided it was time to take crafting to a new level. I decided that I wanted to be more consistent in making projects and to try out for a few design teams. I am super happy that when I put my mind to it, a lot of fun things started happening.

 

This was the card that I made to push me into a new direction.

 

Scaredy Cat Says "Boo"

 

 

I made this to try out for the DT for My Scrap Chick. Ironically, I missed the email that invited me onto that first MSC DT. I was so bummed. But I have been on the team the last six months and I enjoy working with their files!!!

 

This card uses the Scaredy Cat file from My Scrap Chick. The background paper and the clock chipboard is G45 and the paper for the pumpkin is SEI. The bat is from a Spellbinders die set. I can't find the stamp I used for the sentiment and I did not mention it on my original post either which is here. This is still one of my favorite cards I ever made. I hope you enjoy it too!

 

Later this month I will do a post of my Top 10 favorite cards and projects from the last year. I will include a few that I liked a lot and I will consider those that received the most all time views on my blog page. I hope you will join me for the fun.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Fright Night Treat Bag!

It is almost that time. Fright Night is coming and the Witches will come out cackling.

 

Here is a project from made for a Trendy Twine FB hop featuring the Grape Licorice twine and the Cone Treat Bags.

 

 

I filled the bag with chocolate covered pomegranates - Yum!!! My whole family loves these chocolates! I tied it off the top with my twine, my tag, a bit of ribbon from HL, and a big button from Bo Bunny. I {heart} big buttons!!!

 

The tag itself is a file from My Scrap Chick. The Witchy Bear is a cut file from KaDoodle Bug Designs and the sentiment is from Punkin' Patch Stamps but is no longer available. The background paper on the tag is from Graphic 45's new line called An Eerie Tale. This paper is just beautiful! I love the color scheme and this sheet matches the twine so nicely.

 

 

These cone treat bags can be used for so many occasions!

 

You still have time to hop through and see all the great Trendy Twine projects. The winners of the prizes will not be picked until this weekend. The fun starts here -

Kinder Time!

A quick post to share a project that I sneak peeked this last Friday.

 

 

I had so much fun making this treat bag for my daughter using some Tiny Kraft Bags from Trendy Twine along with the Cranberry Twine. All of the cut files come from My Scrap Chick's School Paper Easel Card.

 

 

After making the treat bag, I wanted to put a special note inside. I used Big Sentiments 2 and Tiny Tags from My Craft Spot to make this note card. Again the cut files are from My Scrap Chick. The twine heart is Midnight Trendy Twine.

 

Supplies Used:

Trendy Twine: Cranberry and Midnight Twine

Trendy Twine: Tiny Kraft Bags (3 1/4 x 5 1/4")

My Scrap Chick: School Paper Easel Card

My Craft Spot: Tiny Tags and Big Sentiments 2
