Emmaline's Rocking Horse

This is another project that I did pre-baby for post-baby scheduling. :)

Here is a new picture of miss Emmaline! I have been on bed rest for over a week now (torture for a busy body like me!) and I cannot wait to do everything for myself again. I am a terrible patient! I also cannot wait to get into my craft room! But I love every minute with this little girl so much. I seriously just stare at her for half hours at a time. She was just in my belly!!!


She just got changed. Happy baby! She loves to be clean!


Her first Janie and Jack outfit! (I LOVE Janie and Jack!!!) The large bump on her head is a cephalhematoma. It should be gone in 2-12 weeks but you can see it in some of the pictures. Poor thing. It's seriously the size of a baseball but I keep trying to take pics from the other side! haha.

Sleepy smile!


The background 12x12 burlap frame is from Canvas Corp. I wanted to make something with it as soon as they sent it to me and I have been hoarding it for MONTHS in order to make this clean and simple wall hanging. I hope you like it!

Hmm.. This pic makes it look like the little thing underneath doesn't match the curve of the horse, but I fixed it after this photo was taken. The mini spools are from Jillibean Soup.

I'll have to show pictures of the baby room soon! :)

I made this using the weekly sketch challenge from the Circle Blog:




I realized that I don't share a lot of pics of my life on here, so here are some recent ones! :)


We went to the Scottish Festival and put my dad in the stocks. Then they poured water on his head! He was such a good sport. 


Spoon. Snuggling. So cute.

Little One

Hello! I hope you are all doing well! 

I whipped up this card for two challenges: 
Cricut Circle Challenge: Color Challenge
Glue Arts: Make something for Mother's Day (this one is for a new mother!) and take a pic showing use of the projects. 






For some reason, the pictures didn't show that the black background was embossed, but you can see it on the backside of the picture below.

Wyatt's banner

**If you are looking for the My Pink Stamper Blog Hop, then please scroll down! :)**

 Do you remember Kylie and Alyssa's banners HERE.?. Their younger brother Wyatt was just born and Anina asked me to make another banner for him! What an honor! They were waiting until he was born to find out if it was a boy or a girl, so I had to wait a little bit, but I was so excited to make another one for them. 

Last time she got to see the girls' banners on my blog before they got to her so this time I wanted to wait until she received them to post this. I really hope she likes it! :)

The Glossy Accents made it a little hard to photograph so I took pictures from different angles.

My Pink Designer Showcase - a baby card

Have you ever had a picture just come out SOOO weird??? That button is the SAME COLOR as the dark pink in the butterfly's body in real life! And it came out that funky orange in the pic! I almost ripped it off, put on a new button and took another pic! I can't stop staring at it! haha. You'll just have to use your imagination for that part! :) 

For the My Pink Designer showcase, we were challenged to "think spring" and to make something using yellow, green, and blue as well as a butterfly, Cricut cut, and either Happiest Moments, Buggy Punnies, Tweetie Hoo Puns, or More Punnylicious. Well, I have all but one of those so I had my pick of the litter! :) 

I was inspired by the pinwheels that American Crafts put our recently and thought, "I will make my own!"




Recipe:




Make sure you hop on over to My Pink Stamper's blog to see the rest of the girls' Springy inspiration!

Valentine's Tag

Good Wednesday Morning!

I got EVERYTHING shown here from Shop Pumpkin Spice!!! Check out the "new items" and you might see a sneak of the "A Boy's Life" by Echo Park up for pre-order and I happen to know that Crate Paper's Paper Heart will be making an appearance shortly so if you were thinking of buying it, hold off for Denine's great prices! 

I'm here for a quick tag to go on your Valentine's gifts!

My husband and I got the wonderful opportunity to go to Paris a few years ago and absolutely LOVED it so this will probably be for him. We don't do a lot on Valentine's Day. So we'll probably order a pizza and have a picnic on the floor and he might even let me pick a chick flick movie! haha. 

Last year I did a 5 course dinner for my friends with wine pairings. Hmm... maybe I should do that again!  

Anywho, here it is!


I've been seeing these stitched hearts everywhere, but I don't have a sewing machine. So I scored them all in the middle, punched holes in the top one, and strung twine through it to still give it a "stitched" feel. :)

I attached each of the centers of the hearts together using one extreme adhesive square in between each later. 


Recipe:




I also entered this into City Crafter's Challenge Blog #91 where my SUPER sweet friend June is guest designing this week! The challenge is "Back to Black" with a silhouette. Love it! :)

SPS Blog Hop - Love You A Latte! *Giveaway Alert*

Welcome to the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop! You should have gotten here from Dorcas' blog! She's a newbie to the team and we "old gals" are SOOO excited about the new gals! So please make sure you have stopped by everyone's blogs to say "hello"! :) 


I could not be MORE THRILLED to represent Shop Pumpkin Spice for another year!!! I love her prices, her product, her constant attempt to keep the shipping rates to a minimum and now....... her KITS!!! Yes, you read right, Shop Pumpkin Spice is now creating monthly kits! The first one is only  $15.95!!! Check it out below or click on the link HERE to take you directly to the buying page! woot woot! :) Am I getting one? Yes, yes I am. 

We designers can't buy them until it goes live tonight with the hop so you better not buy them all so that they are sold out when I wake up tomorrow California time! I'll be pointing fingers! ;) 




Here is the project I made for the hop. It was supposed to be "your style" and while I was tempted to do a shaped card, this is still very me. :) 


Recipe:



*Designer's Tip: It is REALLY hard to get a sponge or something else in the cracks and crevices of the letters. I used my inking tip for the d-stress tool by Imaginisce (the inking tip unfortunately ONLY comes in the carrying cases for the d-stress and SPS does not carry the cases, but they DO carry the d-stress tool. You can find the cases at your big chain scrapbook stores.) It attaches to the end of the d-stress. You turn the d-stress on so that it spins and just dip it in the ink and ink wherever you want with a spinning head! IN person the inking is a LOT more even, but because of the photo it picks up some of the darker spots and highlights them. Oh well! :) *

My Pink Stamper: 12 Days of Christmas!

Hello and welcome to My Pink Stamper's 12 day's of Christmas! The Pink Designers have been making projects for you all week long and are hoping we can inspire you to play along in the challenges to possibly win a CRICUT MINI! That's right! And there are other prizes every day! Check it out! 

I have the 22nd and I hope you like my super quick and easy project! 

In the move, I don't know where my video camera went, so I filmed this with my iPhone and my husband was holding it! So I'm so sorry it's not the best quality, but I still think you can get it! :) 

If you want directions on how to make the bow that are written, click HERE for my post I did like this last year. :) 



Recipe:
My Pink Stamper: Winter Treats and Sayings™
Vellum paper: Paper Trey Ink™
Patterned Paper: Echo Park: Holly Jolly™
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares™
ATG™
Colorbox ink in Black™



OH! The Christmas tradition! Each person in the family gets assigned another person (in Hans's nuclear family) and we get them a "funny gift". We then have to write a poem about it and from the poem the person has to guess what their gift is. For instance Hans' little brother had just been accepted into a hedge fund in Boston a few years ago. So we made him a hedge hog out of an orange with cloves stuck in it and a little curly tail and we wrote about both. So it has to do with both your life and what's going on and something completely ridiculous. It's pretty "punny".

Snowman Soup

WOO HOO! Welcome to the Imaginisce/Clear Snap blog hop! The hop is just between the two manufacturers so please head over to both of their blogs as well for some great PRIZE opportunities!


My husband thought this card was snowman cruelty! haha. Oh well! I loved it! :) 

We just drove from San Francisco to Salt Lake City in a day! We were SO exhausted last night I basically collapsed into bed. Today we will pick up his brother from the airport and head north to Idaho. We don't really have much internet or phone reception there so I will probably not be able to get back to any of you in comments, but I will try! If I can't, I'll see you after New Years! We are moving into a house in Carmel and I will have a craft room!!! WOO HOO!!! 







Recipe:








This was all the product that Clear Snap sent to me! Thank you! I was able to use all but the Glue Gloss and the green Sparkle Fibers on this project. However, I did work in the Glue Gloss in an upcoming project! :) Check back on Wednesday for that! :) THANK YOU Clear Snap! 




This is another view so that you can see how the card really sparkles! 

Don't forget to hop on over to Clear Snap and Imaginisce (links at the top) to check out what all the girls have made! 


I based this on a sketch by Artful Delight:

Easel/Gate Fold Card!

It's the My Pink Designer showcase today over at My Pink Stamper's blog! Head on over there to see what we created! The challenge was a "different fold" card. So I combined a gate card and an easel card to do both. I wanted it to look like windows so I used my Gypsy (I LOVE MY GYPSY) to put window into the card. Here is the picture tutorial on how I did it: 

FYI if you don't have a Gypsy, you can use Cricut Craft Room! Check it out and it's FREE!!! 


My card base was 8.5x8.5" before I cut it, so I did calculations on where I would need the window to go. Then I hid the outside of the window that I took from Kate's ABC's so that only the boxes cut out and not the whole window which would have defeated the purpose.


I taped the yellow polka dots to the white card stock base where I wanted them. Then I put the blade on 6, speed on high, and multi-cut on 2 to ensure that it got through both pieces of card stock. 


This is the windows so that there are frames around the windows. I cut them out of white and embossed them with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes Emboss Folder. 


This is what it looked like when I finished cutting it. I actually used the scraps of the 8.5x11" paper to create these. I love using my scraps! 


I cut of the bottom 2 1/8" x 4/25" from each side.


Next I embossed the window frames with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes Emboss Folder. I cut velum to the appropriate size and used a liquid glue to put it behind the window frames, but in front of the yellow polka dotted paper. Here you can also see the three patterned papers I had picked out for my inspiration for the project. :) 


I scored the lines appropriately (I can give you these measurements later if anyone wants them). 


I took one of the window pane cut outs (which was a double layer of card stock and therefore pretty sturdy) and put it on the back being careful to only put adhesive on the top half. 


I put a piece of card stock to fit the inside and stamped the sentiment so I could use it for a birthday card.

Front portion after it has been decorated!

Blue Bird Santa

Hello and welcome to the product swap with Glue Arts and Imaginisce!!! We were super blessed to receive some product from them and I used everything they sent me in this project! THANK YOU GLUE ARTS!



I was surprised how much I liked the "Raisen's". Since they were clear they really disappeared and gave just a slight amount of dimension. I really liked it! 


 Hmm... This one didn't show up as ell as I wanted it to. It's the Glue Glider Pro on the white, but I guess that's a good thing! It's invisible! :) 


Well, you all know how much I love Extreme Adhesive Squares so I was jumping up and down when these were attached to the back of a Glue Glider refill! I loved them!!!


 I just wrapped the extra back onto the clothespins and they were AWESOME at sticking to my paper! Very impressive for something so small! 


Finished product. I just love this little fat blue bird! He's SOOOO cute!


The U-Cut-It foam is really tall. Which is awesome because I LOVE the dimension it brings. It made his fake beard really look like he had just added it to his face! FUN! 



Recipe:


Be sure to hop on over to Imaginisce and then to Glue Arts to see what we have all made for your inspiration! I hope you enjoy! There are prizes up at BOTH locations! :)
