Sashay Scarf

 

Last fall I decided to learn to knit.

 I went to a fall craft/art show and saw these frilly scarves in several booths.  The prices ranged from $12-$20 dollars for a scarf.  While in Michaels, I noticed they had the skeins on sale for $4 each. Naturally, I decided to make my own. I watched this youtube video to learn to knit the sashay scarf. 

It was so easy!  In fact, it was so super easy that I have now made 18 scarves.  I gave them out as Christmas gifts and then again at Valentines day for the Crafty Pay It Forward. (I have chosen 12 college students to recieve homemade items from me throughout the year).   I now just have one skein of this yarn left and can't find anymore in our local stores.  Guess I will have to learn to knit other items.  Maybe it will be hats next.  I threatened my brother that I may make him and his family matching Christmas sweaters.  Teehee!  I am sure I am nowhere near ready to make sweaters so they would definitely win the ugly Christmas sweater contests.

Happy Birthday

 

Today's card is a birthday card for my grandma.  She will be celebrating her 93rd birthday this week.

I used the sketch and an image from Sassy Cheryl's for this one.

Girl On Fire

 

Today's card is a birthday card for a lovely young lady who is turning 13.  She love the Hunger Games books so I couldn't resist using Katniss, Girl on Fire, from Sassy Studio Designs

I wanted her dress to look like it was on fire, just like in the book and the movie.  I colored it in reds, oranges and yellows and then painted the entire dress with extreme glitter paint.  I added some stickles too for a little extra glitter.  I hope all the glitter is evident in the picture.

The bow and arrow are from the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge.  The bow looks a little like a scrolly letter B which is just perfect since the young lady's name who is celebrating her birthday begins with B.

I love the pattern paper for this project.  I have had it for years and never really liked it but it is perfect for this card.  The orange paper actually looks a little like fire.

Carrot Cruiser

 

I had another snow day today so I cleaned my craft room and then messed it up again making this Easter card.  We didn't get as much snow as was predicted but more is on the way Sunday night.  Even though my son loves an occassional snow day off from school, three in a row would be too much!

Tardis Birthday Card

Yesterday, my oldest son celebrated his birthday. 

He is a big Dr. Who fan so I decided to make him the Tardis for his card. 

I created the basic card shape using the george Cricut cartridge and the Cricut Craft Room design software.  Once that was done, I found pictures online to use for the sign on the door and the Police Box tag on the top.  The rest of the card is just layered and inked squares and rectangles.  I did have a bit of a challenge for the light on top but I ended up using one of the 7 Dwarfs lanterns for the happily Ever After Cricut cartridge.
