The Greeting Farm Challenge - Card #1

Good Morning, here are two cards I made for the Greeting Farms July challenge which is Blue, White and Red.  I wanted to experiment with my Zig watercolor pens and was playing around.  

The first card was embossed with stars first then watercolored.  

Here are the challenges:  The Greeting Farm Red White Blue Challenge.  The little girl is from the Magical Kit and I was glad to have a chance to color her up.  

 Thanks for peeking and have a great day!

The Greeting Farm July Challenge Card #2

Good Morning, here is the second card I made for the Greeting Farms July challenge which is Blue, White and Red.  I wanted to experiment with my Zig watercolor pens and was playing around.  

The first card was embossed with stars first then watercolored.  

The second card below was made by pressing the cardstock into ink dye on my table.  I did use red ink even though it came out a little pinkish!

Watercolor Make-it-Monday #218

Hi everyone, now that things are settling a little Ive been trying to get in as much card making time as possible.  

 I really love the rainbow of colors that this card ended up with.  I made for Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink, the challenge was to use a die and watercolor.  

The "Hello" die I used is from Lawn Fawn, I used Zig Watercolor pens and the coffee cups are from Papertrey Ink - Heart2heart Mini Stamp Set #1.  I also had the coffee cup dies so I used that as a background to pop up the cups.  The cups are colored with Copics and I paper pieced some coordinating paper on the cups.  Phew.

Thanks for peeking and hope you have a crafty week.

I am entering this in the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday Challenge and the Lawnscaping Color Challenge by Lawn Fawn.

Word Art Wednesday - Dress Card

Today's verse over at Word Art Wednesday is from Psalm 31:25.    I hope you will play along with us - it is a very simple "anything goes"challenge... just create an uplifting and positive card or other artwork and post it at Word Art Wednesday challenges.  You can use this week's verse below, but it is not required.  

Karen M. (Papercraft Memories) created the beautiful graphic for today's verse from Psalm 31:25:

I couldn't resist going with the clothing theme and chose this adorable cut file from Mod Kid's Patty Young. I then printed it on my Silhouette Cameo and cut.  It was lots of fun choosing the belt & bows...

Happy Crafting Today and Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blue Koi Jammies

For today's outfit for Kids Clothes Week I decided to make some pajamas for the little guy.  I had in my mind the blue fish (which I applied with my Silhouette and iron-on transfer paper) and didn't use a pattern for the outfit.  

I up cycled a big adult cream shirt for the base that was a thrift store find, and I had already used the ribbing of it on an earlier project. It was nice to use all the shirt up! I put the little print from the front of the shirt on the back of the new pajamas.

I love the maroon ribbing and shorts as different for a boy. Overall, glad again for the inspiration of Kids Clothes Week to inspire me to sew this little outfit.  

Day 3: Kids Clothes Week - Wildflower

Phew! Day 3 sewing for Kids Clothes Week! So for today I had a little piece of panel left from the Blend Corey Dantini fabric that I am making into a wall quilt for my Craft Room. I didn't want to waste it so I decided - hey- perfect for a little girls dress.  I LOVE this artist (Dantini) and first saw her work in a Paper crafting magazine.  When I saw she had fabric I was all over it.  

Im in love with how this dress turned out.  I used a pattern from a book I have called Cute Clothes for Kids by Rob Merrett.  I wanted something simple so the fabric can shine.  I made a size 9 months...hopefully for my future neice!

The back of the dress has the little music notes fabric, also from Blend.  Thanks for peeking!

Day Two - Kids Clothes Week ~ Vikings

KCW is where you agree to sew for 1 hour a day for a week, based on a theme.  Sounds super fun right? Its so much fun looking at all the projects that are posted, you can find them here Kids Clothes Week Projects.

I just love how this jacket turned out, and it was really really fun (and easy) to put together.  I made it from Ottobre Summer 3/2013, one of my favorite issues. Ive made three different things from this Ottobre issue!

The jacket is not lined and many of the pieces I used are up cycled from old onesies that no longer fit my little guy.  The Viking knit is from Lillistoff I believe, and so glad I finally got a chance to use it!  I found the big zipper on ETSY.  

This pattern was really easy to use. I was always intimated by jackets because they seemed hard, but if you've made a knit shirt the jacket is basically the same thing with a zipper.  Go for it! 

It was fun putting all the fabrics together and Im definitely going to make another one soon...maybe not quite so Euro/bright!

Looking forward to Day 3 of KCW, so far Ive loved seeing all the designs the other crafters have made! Stunning!
