Kelly's Craft Room

Girls night in

Mom and I played in my craft room Friday while the girls were at Kindercare's Parent's night out.

We made these adorable shirts for the girls (I had everything cut/ pinned, but was having problems with the bobbin. Mom helped me finish them when she came over. I saw the idea/ instructions on JoysHope and had to try it! The girls LOVED it!

 

Then we made these..

 We filled them with chocolates (the ones for the girls had dress up jewelry, a pen and gummis in them) and gave them away over the weekend. I hung the ones for the girls up on the fridge

Valentines Day

I did not get this done in time to submit it to the Craft Critique Valentines Carnival, but there are HUNDREDS of ideas over there!

I altered this notebook for Eric for Valentines Day. The intent is to keep it in the bedroom and use it to pass notes back and forth to each other.

The notebook is from Ecojet, purchased at Archivers. PP- Creative Imaginations; Heart pin and red letter stickers- MM; Black letter stickers - Deja Views; Jeweled heart, large red heart charm, "gold" heart and key - Hobby Lobby; Ink - Vintage Cream ink, PTI & Black Soot Distress Ink, Tim Holz; Ribbon, wire, envie and the black beads were from my stash.

The black beads used to be on a necklace that broke. The envelope was white, so I inked it with PTI's Vintage Cream ink and them used the Black Soot ditress ink on the edges. I also ran the Vintage Cream ink along the edges of the notebook.

Papertrey Color Challenge

Well, I finished my literature review today so after I picked up the girls we stayed downstairs and played for a bit!

This is the color challenge from Nichole:

And here is the card that i made!

The lighting was crappy since it was after dark by the time I finished. Everything is PTI except for the Cuttlebug embossing folder and the SU Scallop border punch. I used a blender pen with the Summer Sunrise to color in the "9".

The "Happy Everything" was stamped on the inside page so that it peeks out under the scallop.

I want to play!

Don't you hate it when you are motivated to create something... but do not have the time/ energy? I do! I saw this Weightloss Planner by Jen Kaputo on Jen's blog, and really want to make it!

The files are only available from DailyDigi as a part of their monthly "kit", The DigiFiles. Check it out.. this is an amazing deal! So I bought the DigiFiles, checked out the templates which are the same as the Weight Watchers planner pages (which is perfect for me!), but Jen included the PDF version so that you can customize it. Awesome! Here is some more information on the Planner.

I even got a BindItAll for Christmas that I have not gotten to play with yet! And I know what Colors/PP I want to use and everything! I want to use PTI's Raspberry Fizz and Black and White Basics.

   

So, the plan is to finish my homework in the evenings this week so that I can spend Saturday in my craft room creating my own Weightloss Journal.

Have you heard?

Heidi Swapp, Rhonna Farrer and Janet Hopkins have joined together on a new digital/ hybrid venture called House of Three. That is where my new "Blog Couture" came from and I love it! I have started to explore digital scrapbooking more and it is pretty cool. I will not give up my paper scrapping though, I love it too much!
