Sabriolet Designs Felt Pouch

My friend Kymberlee had the most amazing gifts for my friends and I this past weekend.  Each of us received these really cute felt bags and pouches that you can use for just about anything.  I immediately thought it would be a great thing to personalize it and since I have some new heat transfer vinyl I decided to give it a go.  I absolutely adore flourishes and I have been collecting them in the Silhouette store ever since I bought my Cameo months ago. Combine that with some more flocked vinyl and this turned out really, really well.  I think I'm going to keep my receipts and such in it for my crafting purchases.

Silhouette:  Sabriolet Designs, Flourish

My flocked vinyl Panda

Isn't he cute?  I was playing around with my flocked vinyl and though this would be the perfect image to try it out on.  My Silhouette cut it like butter.  I added a few accents, and ribbon and here it is.  Very cute if I do say so myself.

Project Life - Weeks Seven & Eight

So I finally got behind, and man, let me tell you I need to make sure that doesn't happen again.  I do NOT enjoy doing two weeks at a time so from here on out I am doing my best to do just a little bit of work every couple of days to make sure that doesn't happen again.

It has been an interesting two weeks around here.  A big business trip for my husband and a washing machine that caught on fire.  Never a dull moment . . .

The Great Escape! - Card Patterns No. 153

I thought I would do something a little different for this week's Card Patterns sketch challenge.  Instead of making a card, I decided to make a scrapbook page.  I actually took these pictures this past Saturday (quick camera to page right?) and I really like the way this turned out.  The papers are bright and vibrant and looking at this one makes me happy.  You can't ask for much more than that right?  So you see the sketch to the left, and the page is right underneath it.

Recipe:

Paper:   Echo Park Little Boy, Happy Days, Coordinations

Silhouette:  Mouse, cheese, Title card & journaling, border

Cricut Cartridge:  Animal Kingdom (mouse)

More Valentine's Day Goodness

Here they are!  Han Solo frozen in carbonite Valentines.  My oldest son handed these out to the boys in his class today.  I reminded him that girls like Star Wars too, after I was the one who introduced him to the series!  He didn't care though.  The girls got hearts and the boys got Han Solo, which I should be happy with because I had to melt these one at a time.  Please someone talk me off the ledge next year before I begin a twenty hour project forty-eight hours before they are due.

Kids Valentine's Day Crayon Molds

Why oh why didn't I start this project three weeks ago?  I certainly have been thinking of it for at least that long.  I have, for the last several years, been firmly against buying Valentines for my kids to hand out because I have all of this stuff it seems silly not to use it.  Well, of course it does unless you're the one who has to make them.  For a project like this I normally give myself several weeks, but no, there was I was yesterday glued to my oven for most of the day while I melted crayon after crayon, and then in my craft room cutting, cutting, and then assembling.  I even made my youngest write out his name on all of them this morning right before I took him (and his Valentines) to school!  Clearly I'm running behind.

So here they are.  The idea is a complete scraplift from Pinterest.  I wish I could link to the original poster but the pin lead to this flickr account.  Oh well, I tried!  I thought it looked so cute and it would be soooo easy.  Famous last words!   

So tonight I get to do it all over again!  Okay, maybe not exactly.  The crayons have ALL been melted.  I just need to make up the cards for my other son's Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite crayon mold.  Stay tuned for that one!

A New Discovery

I got my scrapbooking mojo back.  I wasn't thrilled with my last page, but I love this one. Sherry Stringfield from Sketch Savvy posted the cutest sketch this past week and it was just perfect for this layout.  These are pictures of my youngest son at that same aquarium trip.  He is petting the stingrays, which for him, is a VERY big deal.  Another example of just how far he has come over the past several years.  Here is the sketch:

And here is my page:

I was hoping my sister would have come home with tickets from the aquarium, but no, all I had to work with was a map.  I decided to use it as the top layer for the banners.  I think it looks really good!
