Spring Fling at ATS

Butterflies

Hey everyone! The days just go by so quickly... it's Wednesday and time for a reminder of the current challenge over at All That Scraps... we want to see your Paper Piecing projects!

Ima Butterfly from last year's release is one of my fave Swiss Pixie girls. She's so cute with her boots and gorgeous wings! The sentiment stamp is from the Spring Logo set, and also a couple of butterflies from the CC Cutters Butterflies Dies. I'm trying a different type of card design this time, inspired by the cute CAS cards from my blogging friend, Alice. It's a great way to use up some scraps too!

Stop on over to the ATS Challenge blog to see more fabulous ideas from the team. Have you checked out all the new releases at ATS? The theme this month is Butterflies and Fairies! Check them out here, and they are all available at the ATS store now!!

Valentine Treats

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post. I've had a change in my work schedule, so less time for me to craft! {very sad} :(  I finally got to finish my ATS Challenge reminder project...

Isn't he cute? Cupid Mickey is from the ATS December release, and you can find him at the ATS store! Here are a couple of other views of the treat box...

It can hold a few treats inside, and the black flap tucks into the back of the box. The front has a Tiny Tag from Papertrey Ink with a hand written message. Found  a piece of scrap for the backside to hold down the flap.

Head over to the All That Scraps Challenge blog to see more amazing creations. You have another week to link up and play along. There's a small change in the rules, so be sure to check out the details here. The prize for this challenge is THREE CC Designs Rubber Stamps!!

Now, I have something to share with you all! Do you have trouble threading twine through tiny holes? It was so frustrating for me...  keep having to cut off the frayed tip... needles with eyes that are too big... took FOREVER to get it through!! I finally did a search online for some help... and guess what I found...

a floss threader! it's the perfect tool to thread twine (or any string) through the tiniest hole!! so smooth and simple! can't wait to use it for buttons!!

have a wonderful day! ;D

Happy Wednesday! We are into the second week of the current All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge... a color challenge using RED, PINK and CHOCOLATE!

This is Swiss Pixie Baby Girl from the new January release, which is now available at the ATS store! Colored it up with Copics, gems, some stickles on the blocks, and followed the Deconstructed Sketch #82. Papers are from MME Blush collection, and distressed with Colorbox brown ink. The brown lace is from a local Japanese dollar store called Daiso, they have a ton of good household items plus some crafting supplies! Finished it with a ribbon (from Michael's), some baker's twine, and a button from Makin' Memories.

Time to Laugh

Welcome back! This is my second post today, if you're looking for Lollipop Crafts sponsor spotlight, please scroll down, or click here.

It's a new challenge today at All That Scraps and this time we want to see C.A.S. - clean and simple! I made a gift card/money envelope using C.C. Designs Gnome.

Colored him up with Copics, then fussy cut him out and added a embroidery floss for the fishing line. Also added a double layer of grass borders from CC Cutters. One piece of paper from the Me&My Big Ideas Autumn layers paper pad, and stamped sentiment from Hero Arts.

Here's a look at the back side

LC Sponsor Spotlight

Happy Wednesday! Today Lollipop Crafts is spotlighting our sponsor this week, Robyn's Fetish

This adorable bear is called Charlie Christmas Bear, and you can find him here. He's colored up in Copics, but I ran into some marker trouble this time... see the right side of his face? As I was putting on the darker brown (E55) for some shadows, it started to get weird on me. It became sort of oily, and couldn't blend with the other colors. It doesn't look as bad IRL, but this picture sure picked it up! I thought my marker was drying out, but I checked it was good, but added a little more ink anyways.  Has anyone else have that happen? and is there a remedy for this? Would love to hear any advice on this! :D

So back to the card... it's a small sized card... only 3.5x3.5. Great way to use up some more scraps and makes a perfect little gift card. Used Spellbinders circle and scallop circles for the dies, and handcut a small banner flag for the sentiment, which is Amy R Winter Sentiments.

Head on over to the Lollipop Crafts blog to see what a few other team mates have made to share. Find out more on our wonderful sponsor, and check out the awesome prize for the current challenge!

Dear Hubby...

Happy Monday! Today I'm celebrating a special day with my hubby... it's our anniversary! He surprised me with a dozen red roses this morning... that he put together after I went to sleep last night. But then he had to work today, so we will go out for a nice dinner another night! I baked him some yummy banana bread and made this card...

It was hard to find a image that would fit a guy and for an anniversay, but I came across this retired TGF stamp set and it came with a perfect sentiment, "hoo loves you"? and the inside says "me!" (sorry forgot to take a pic of it) Finally I was willing to use some of the SEI Moonrise paper that I've had for the lonnnngest time!

added alot of dimensions... can you tell?

Well, hope he likes it and the bread!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

my dear... I love you!

card supplies:

Image-TGF Hoo Loves You (retired); paper-SEI Moonrise, DCWV cardstock; Spellbinders - circle, tear drop circles; Sizzix-Flourish diecut; Copics; Memento Tuxedo Black; Colorbox Chalk browns; white gel pen; misc flowers

More treats...

Happy Wednesday!! It's All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge reminder today, and I'm still in the mood for more Halloween treats!

Using two images from Sweet November Pumpkin Fun set (click here to see the third),  I made some real simple, quick and easy treat holders. But as you can see, it wasn't that easy for me on the embossing! LOL! It didn't turn out too clean, but used them anyways cause they are too cute to throw out! Guess I need more practice on embossing! and maybe watch a quick "how-to" video would help! hahaa! 

here's a pic of the back and little peek from the side...

This little candy tote was pretty easy to make. Just a few pieces of scrap paper, punch two sets of holes (or you can use eyelets), and add a piece of twine. The candy can slip in and out pretty easily, so add a small glue dot to secure it.

Take a moment to visit the ATS Challenge blog to see more inspiration from the team, and if you haven't checked out the new October release from ATS! and you still have until Oct. 9th to play along our "Anything Goes" Challenge!!
