Kid Friendly Saturday

Hey, everyone!

Today I am sharing a special project with you all. I hope my mother-in-law doesn't read my blog because this is one of her birthday presents! Saturdays, here at Hoosier Card Angel's Creations, is all about Kid Friendly projects this month! Today's project would be GREAT for both big and small kids! Here is what I made:

I took a little pink canvas tote, available at your local craft store, and using my stamps from The Angel Company and our Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad I stamped these images onto the front of the bag. I love having rubber stamps that are unmounted so I could place the bird and flower together on my acrylic block and have them positioned exactly where I wanted them.
The bird and flower are from a Hostess Level A Stamp Set in our current Serendipity Street magalogue. You can earn this set for FREE with any $100 party. The sentiment is one of my favorite stamp sets. It is retired now but I love it and will use it for a long, long time! It's called Treasure Seeker and there are so many fabulous sentiments in this set. I jazzed up the image a little with some of my Stardust Glitter Gel Pens. You know how I love shimmer!

These bags come in a package of three. They were very inexpensive and come in different colors. My mother-in-law loves pink so that is why I chose this bag for her. If you have never stamped on fabric before I would definitely recommend giving it a try. You could practice on an old t-shirt first if you want. You can stamp on socks, hats, shirts, bags, aprons, ... you name it! Hope you have fun crafting for your kids, with your kids...or even if you are just a kid at heart!

Angel Hugs,

Gift of Friendship!

Hey, everyone!

I had a wonderful lunch date with my dear friend Rebecca! (No pun intended!) It had been a little while since we last got to meet for lunch. I love those times because she and I can share our faith, what has been happening in our lives, laugh, talk...and no matter how long goes by we can just start right back up where we left off! LOL It's wonderful! God has truly blessed me with her friendship!

School starts next week here where I live and since my friend Becca is a teacher, I had decided to make her a little sticky note holder. Do you remember when I posted that HERE? Well I had to make a card to go with it, so I made a 3x3 card. I had almost forgotten how much I love this size! I paper pieced the balloon, hat, shirt, pants and shoes on this stamp. It's from the Dear Friends stamp set. All the paper and stamps are from TAC. I used glitter gel pens to add some sparkle. With my Corner Chomper, I rounded all the corners! I love it!!!
I kept wanting to try stamping on fabric and just never took the time to do it! I had this cute little pink tote on my shelf of things to alter and I just picked a random butterfly stamp from an alphabet stamp I bought ages ago. I used my Palette Hybrid Noir black ink to stamp a simple butterfly border. The larger butterfly is from Treehouse Stamps. I got it for Christmas from Ashley! Thanks, Ash! It's super cute. I used TAC Souffle gel pens to color it in and our Clear Glitter Gel Pen for the antennaes. I think it turned out well. Just look at that beautiful blue sky! The weather was gorgeous!

I hope you've enjoyed my projects! Rebecca really liked them and I am glad! She is such a sweet friend!! It's great that God gave us girlfriends to hang out with and strengthen us, huh? Thanks for hanging out with me today! For those of you that may have wondered about the scripture challenge...it isn't gone! I just decided to start sharing those on Sunday, so I will pick up where I left off with the word REST on Sunday! And even though she doesn't read my blog...I want to wish my Aunt Doris a very happy birthday!!!

Hugs,
