Whimsy Doodle ~Noel~

Good Morning! I just wanted to pop in today to share this Christmas card I made for Whimsy doodles Celebrating the Holidays challenge.  I love this angel digi image and she was perfect to paper piece her dress and color with copics.  You can get her here at Whimsy Doodles - She Has Wings.  The sentiment is from Spellbinders dies.  Have a great holiday day!

Winter with The Greeting Farm

Good Morning everyone! Wow! The creative mojo is really strong right now.  Isn't that weird how it comes and goes, sometimes it's easier to create and others you don't know how to start?  

Well today I wanted to make a card for The Greeting Farm's winter challenge.  I didn't have any winter images, so I bought this adorable little winter Ian digi from the Greeting farm website.  Of course, he had to sit on something and I found the perfect winter bench at Make It Crafty.  I colored it up with my trusty rusty Copics.  

I wanted to use my Joy Die from My Favorite Thing, since I hand't used it before and that was fun to pop the letters up.

Thanks for peeking!

Foxy Christmas Card

Good Morning everyone! So today I took a few hours to enjoy the last *sob* few hours without kids before Christmas Break hits.  Which is today at 1:00 (yes, the kids only have half day today).  Sigh….

I did live it up though by making this Christmas card using Chi Chi Designs adorable fox digi stamp.  If  you haven't tried any Chi Chi memories digs yet, you should definitely check them out - they are all so cute.  

I used the challenge layout, which is this one:

Materials used:

ChiChi Memories Digi Stamp

Copics

Spellbinders Circle dies

Merry Christmas die from Memory Box

Christmas Paper from WeRMemory Keepers

Classroom Lollipop Treat

Good Morning crafty ladies! Today I just wanted to share a quick project I made last night for my son's preschool class.  

These are really easy to make using the Your Next Stamp lollipop die.  I printed the tag on my computer and popped it out with a few circle dies.  Ribbon on the top finished it off.  

I used my Scor Pal to score the die at the 3 green lines so it was easy to fold.  The Scor Pal Anything Goes Challenge can be found at the link.

Hope all your Christmas projects are coming along as well!!

Happy Thanksgiving Friends

I hope all you crafty ladies are having a restful Thanksgiving.  I am hosting the Thanksgiving feast this year for my family so I hope the Turkey turns out great, I haven't made one in ages!

Well before you head off to your feasts, I wanted to share this sweet little Thanksgiving Mug Warmer I made using Doodlebug's Happy Harvest fabric. I think I mentioned in a previous post how much I love it, especially for Fall! 

I found a plain white ceramic mug at Walmart and used the Doodlebug fabric to make it very warm & cozy.  I didn't use a sewing pattern, but it is very simple to make and I can provide a tutorial for it in another post if anyone would like to see it.  

The matching round Mug Rug is made using the World's Easiest Mug Rug Tutorial.  It is a very simple pattern but does use 6 different 10" squares of fabric, so a Layer Cake would be perfect.   You can find an easy Tutorial I did on fabric buttons here.  

I hope you all enjoy this and have fun getting in the Fall & Winter spirit! 

In Everything Give Thanks...

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today's verse over at Word Art Wednesday is from Galations.

I hope you will play along with us - it is very simple "anything goes"... just create an uplifting and positive card and post it at Word Art Wednesday challenges.  You can use this week's verse below, but it is not required.  The challenge this week is sponsored by the Flying Unicorn and Pink Persimmon stamps. You should definitely check it out. 

Diane Noble (Daydream Designs) created the beautiful graphic for today's verse from Thessalonians.  You should definitely take a peek at Daydream Designs because they have tons of adorable new Thanksgiving and Fall images:

To make my card today I simply printed Dian's beautiful word art straight onto some Card Stock.  Then I accented it with a Turkey sticker and some paper both from Doodlebug's the Happy Harvest line.  

Seriously I am so crazy about Doodlebug paper that when I saw they had some matching Doodlebug fabric for sale by Riley Blake I was all over it.  Scrumptious fabric right!

I decided to use the fabric to make a little tissue holder to send along with the card.  I used this tutorial from Fiona at Two Brown Birds.  This is the quickest, easiest tissue holder to sew and super cute with the binding look.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!
