Valentine's Day

I'm so far behind on blogging and I apologize for that!!  I get busy watching all the wonderful crafters on YouTube and I forget to come over here and update you all.  Well let me spend some time this evening getting you all up-to-date on what I have been doing.

Lets start with the Valentine's that I made for my kids classmates and teachers.  Here they are:


I made matchboxes for the boys, they are actually red, but the color seems a little washed out to look pink in the pictures.  And I made little mini purses for the girls!!  These really are pink.


For the teachers I made a larger purse!!  I absolutely LOVED how these ones turned out!!!


I'd carry one of these everyday if it could hold everything I have in my purse!!!


And of course they were all FILLED with yummy goodies!!!!  Everyone loved them.  My oldest's teacher even took them to the teachers' lounge to show them off at lunch time before they passed them out.  My sons were so excited that everyone loved their valentines!!!!  I love being a Crafty Mom!!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!

Frisky Melon!!

 I made this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog's Challenge Me Monday Contest!!  Yay!!  I started with a piece of pink cardstock cut at 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" and folded it in half for the base of my card.  This was from one of The Paper Company's value packs.  Then I cut a piece of black cardstock, also from The Paper Company, at 5 1/4"x 4" and used it as my first layer.  I attached this using my ATG gun. For my second layer I cut a piece of paper from the Colorbok Pattern Pack at 5"x 3 3/4".  I then wrapped a piece of grosgrain ribbon around it and secured it in the back using regular tape.  Then I attached the whole thing using my ATG gun.   I cut the watermelon at 4" using the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge with my Cricut Expression.  I used a black, pink and green paper, all were from The Paper Company value packs.  I attached it to the card using 3D-Dots. Then to finish off this card I added a My P...

Project 7

My hubby has his own "crafting" that he does, he tears apart and rebuilds cars.  He bought a Mazda RX7 when we first arrived in Germany and he is turning it into his own little race car.  The only way I can understand it is to compare it to my crafting and he gets just as excited over car parts as I do over crafting supplies, so it must be a really awesome thing to him LOL!!!!So I wanted to make him something to recognize his project.   I took that canvas that I messed up the first canvas transfer on and I gessoed it until you could no longer see the attempt at the image transfer. First I used my Faber Castell Gelatos, metalic gold, squid ink, and silver and I randomly added them to the canvas and blended them in using my finger.  I also used my black gelato to distress the edges of the canvas and blended it with my finger.  Then I used a gears 6x6 mask from Crafters' Workshop and covered it with modeling paste and let it dry.  Once it was dry I us...
