Yudu Baby's First Christmas

Made this Beautiful Baby's First Christmas shirt for a friends baby boy:) The Silver looks stunning, very nice for Christmas! Took 7 attempts to get my emulsion to work (think I know what I'm doing now) Hopefully they like this shirt! Now to make some company logo shirts for my mom:)

Photoshop and Pink Paisley

On the Pink Paisley blog they have some really sweet vintage style downloadable free Christmas Postcards!! My only problem was not knowing anything about Photoshop!!!! So I asked a good friend for some help!! After getting a short lesson I was able to make my Christmas Postcard, yeah! This year I didn't bother fighting with my dear hubby for a nice family photo to send out to family and friends, I decided to get a digital copy of the kids with Santa and send that instead!

Yesterday I made a nice centerpiece for my mom's Christmas party with some beautiful red and white roses and greenery, including pine, spruce and juniper but I was running late to get over and help make appetizers that I completely forgot to get a pict. until I was back home and ready for bed!

Yudu

Yesterday I dragged the kids into the city to Buy my Yudu (A present from my dad for Christmas)

They were on sale:) $160 off and a free mesh screen and also there was a coupon for 15% off so I managed to get all the inks and other items needed to start creating!!! yeah! So today after doing more research I decided to give it a go! Went pretty well, learned a few thing and now I have a few more things to research!! I really think this will be a great toy!!! Just need some more practice! I used the Cricut to cut out the snowman on vinyl, layed it on the mesh screen, tapped around the image (so ink only is transfered through image) found a few old shirts to play with, applied ink and set it after letting it dry to touch... Sounds simple enough, but took a while longer than I anticipated!!! I made 5 shirts and this was the best image, ink is still wet in picture giving it a spotting look! Kids think this is GREAT!! I think making my own screen's will turn out better, but they are a lot more time consuming, so they'll have to wait a few more days!! I'm going to make a few company shirts for my Mom and her Hubby as they recently bought a business, hope they like:)

Crepe Flower Ball

So I made one of these crepe flower balls in about two and a half hours! I still need to make a few more, one size smaller and one size larger and also in white! They will end up being decorations in a girlfriends wedding:) Can't wait to have a craft room with a area for shooting shots of my creations!! Found directions for these here http://houseofsmiths.blogspot.com/2010/02/hanging-roses-i-was-browsing-blogs.html

Can't believe how perfectly round she made them!! Guess I need more practice!!

Burlap Pumpkin

It's been driving me nut's that I haven't had time to get crafty lately!!!! So after folding some laundry I did two of these super easy and cute toilet paper pumpkins:) Covered the TP in newspaper, cut out a flat quarter of burlap, wrapped the TP and sprayed with velum adhesive (all I could find in my mess) and sprinkled with glitter! Done in 10 minutes!

Halloween Mailbox

I've had a mailbox waiting to be decorated for months!! So he is finally no longer naked:) I dressed him up in some House of Three Halloween Printable's! Used some American Crafts Rose Ribbon and Fabric, also added Glitter to some Spider Rings!! Not done the other side yet, but I like how it's turning out:)

Happy Halloween

The last couple of weeks I have been slowly putting up Fall and Halloween Decorations! I love giving my house a face-lift every season:) Seen a super cute witches hat like this one I made a couple weeks ago on the House Of 3 Live Show!!! I sooo love the peacock feathers!! Hoping to make a couple more of these hats in different sizes.

Summer is Over!!

So hopefully I'll have more time to get crafty!!! I managed to make a super quick card yesterday for my mom and her hubby! They were celebrating their twelve year wedding anniversary!!

Also, my last two crafty items never made it here, so here they are too! A birthday card for a girlfriend celebrating her 30th birthday!! and also a shadow box I made for a family reunion auction we went to!! Crossing my fingers that I'll have more time for "me" as the kids have started kindergarten!!! They are loving it:)

I used graphic 45 paper, for the car and little strip, and some Websters Ribbon!!! Love all the Websters Pages products:) Pattern paper is My Minds Eye, Ticket is from Tim Holtz and I added some fabric for texture. Inked the edges so the punched edges would pop! Thanks for looking.

Today I sneaked in a few hours of crafting:) I've been looking at all the beautiful work over at inspireME and decided to play along with the May Challenge. So here it is!!! I finally did my 7 gypsy Photo Tray, and decided to use my Triple pack of Garden Gala, Seaside Retreat and Life's Portrait 6x6 paper pack from Websters pages. Used some pictures of my boy's climbing in the tree's down the road... Had fun making it, and can't wait to sneak away again soon!!!

Happy Anniversary

Already have a few ideas and pictures in mind!!!!

Mothers Day Card

My mother kept a garden,

A garden of the heart.

She planted all the good things that gave my life a start.

She turned me to the sunshine and encouraged me to dream,

Fostering and nurturing the seeds of self-esteem.

And when the winds and rains came she protected me enough,

But not too much because she knew I needed to grow strong and tough.

Her constant good example always taught me right from wrong.

Markers for my pathway that will last a life time long.

I am her legacy, and I hope today she feels the love reflected back from me.

I found this beautiful poem in "the Ultimate guide to the perfect Word" What a great book for quotes and poems and titles and such! It on the inside of my card, my mom's a garden so I really thinks she'll love it:)

Mother's Day is almost here!!!

Hello, so this afternoon I need to get my butt in gear and make my Mom her gift, I have my box ready to go. I putt everything in I need to complete one small project, and then go to my embellishment tub for some extra's:) This is to make he her card, then I need to pull out the cricut to cut out some vinyl lettering to make her a flower mailbox to go outside:) Hopefully it works!!! lol

A couple of weeks ago at Micheals I picked up this 12x12 scrapbook container and holder! Love it, and when I got home my hubby asked why I didn't get 2!!! Kicking myself now for not buying 2!!! lol They were a great deal at 50% off!!!

Geo-Hectic Fun!!!

Last weekend I was able to get a bit of scrapbooking done, I Did a bunch of 8x8 pages with some picture's we took at the Mom Pop and Tots Fair in Edmonton a while back!

(Still need to get the hubby to get some shot's of my taking pict's!!! lol) The album is of easter Weekend! We went to Rotary so the kids could ride their bikes:) And out to my mom's for a second turkey feast!!! Played some horse shoe's and the kids went quadding.... A very nice weekend spent as a family!
