Merry Belated Christmas!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! My little family and I had fun opening presents and just hanging out together. Next Christmas, we will be back in Florida which is awesome because all of our family is there. We should be moving back within the next three months or so. I'm gonna cold and rainy Washington state but it's going to better going somewhere and knowing your way around places and knowing people. I hope everyone has a good New Years! I'm working on some new projects. I'll post as I create!

Unfrog-getable Card

Sooooo... This is a late night post. I'm kinda of a night owl. I've been that way for as long as I can remember! So I made a quick card!

Recipe

Create A Critter 2 cartridge

green and white polka dot paper

yellow paper

pink paper

green paper

patterned paper

yellow ribbon

pop dots

adhesive

2 way zig glue pen

My Pink Stamper Stamps - More Punny-licious

I took a lime green 8 1/2 in by 11 in sheet of paper and cut it in half at 5 1/2 in. You can get two cards out of piece of 8 1/2 in by 11 in sheet if you're feeling extra crafty or trying to mass produce something. I used the Create A Critter 2 cartridge for the frog and I cut it out at 3 1/2 in. This is by far the cutest cartridge ever! I used a pop dot on the heart belly and more pop dots to stick the frog to the card. I cut the pink layer at 5 1/4 in by 4 in and the patterned paper at 1 1/2 in by 4 in then put the ribbon where the pink and patterned paper meet. I then stamped the patterned paper with "Unfrog-getable" from the My Pink Stamper stamp line. I used my ATG gun and 2 way zig glue pen to stick everything together!

Project Book

I have made a project book. I made it to keep track of any projects that I do from now on. I hate that I forget the measurements to things. I have kept it very simple because I know I'm going to be using it a lot.

Recipe

Birthday Bash cartridge

Sophisticated cartridge

hot pink paper

blue paper

black paper

purple paper

adhesive

2 way zig glue pen

I got a notebook from walmart for $1 and I covered it with a sheet of 8 1/2 in by 11 in purple paper. I trimmed the paper to fit the cover better. I used the Birthday Bash cartridge for the letters. I cut them out at 3 in. I used the Sophisticated cartridge for the crown and I also cut that out at 3 in. It was super easy to put together. I used my ATG gun and 2 way zig glue pen to put everything together.

Christmas Banner

I made a Christmas banner for over my fireplace. The wall was super bare without anything on it so I made this banner! It took a while to make all because of trial and error for sizes of things. So here is what you will need for this banner!

Recipe

Sophisticated cartridge

Ashlyn's Alphabet cartridge

red cardstock

green cardstock

white cardstock

adhesive

2 way zig glue

ribbon or string

For the scallop circles and circles, I sized them both at 5 in with the Sophisticated cartridge. For the lower case letters and shadow, I sized them at 4 in. For the upper case letters and shadow, I sized them at 3 in. I used Ashlyn's Alphabet for the letters. I used a red ribbon with white stitching for the Merry and a satin red ribbon with candy canes on it for the Christmas. I used my ATG gun and 2 way zig glue to stick everything together.

One More Thing

One more thing before I head to bed. I'm going to start keeping a catalog of my projects so I can remember what size I cut pieces out at. I hate posting a projects and not give measurements to help anyone along! I'm hoping to jazz up my blog appearance a little bit by adding tags for posts and projects. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it! 

Hello!

Oh my goodness! I can't believe I haven't posted since August! I'm going to blog as much as I can from now on. I got my creative juices going and nothing has stopped me! I'm trying to get into a craft fair where I live. I tried getting into last weekend but I was too late and I also didn't reserve a table even though the flyer said first come, first serve. Well anyway, I have recently expanded my cartridge collection since August. I have gone from ten to eighteen! I got good cartridges off of craigslist for $40 then got two more from Michael's because I got gift cards for my birthday which was yesterday. I had a good birthday. I went to dinner and a movie with the husband and it was nice to be by ourselves for a while. So, I have been making cards, scrapbook pages, and banners. I will do a separate post for each project. So stay tuned!
