Hope to see you there!

Vest for DS2

Here's a picture of my middle son showing off the sweater vest I finished for him. I will be making one for each of the boys (what was I thinking??) to wear for the holidays. The shirt is not part of the look, I just grabbed one from his closet that was a button down.

I chose to make DS2's first so if it was too big it would then become DS1's and if too small then it would have been DS3's. As it turned out, my gauge was right on and the vest fits him perfectly.

I have cast on DS1's vest (the back) and I am on row 1. UGH! what did I get myself into??

Thanks for looking!

Hippo Baby Card

I am really loving the paper card kit for this month. I love the ribbon with the little balls hanging off the end. How fun is that?!? I decided with all of the pink that this would be a really good baby card. I don’t have anyone in mind yet, but there is always someone at work who is pregnant so it will be used soon enough.
Stamp: Harriet the Hippo
Paper: September card kit
copics: RV 11, 13; Y13, 15

Birch trees

I made this card for Peggysue. We meet recently in Janesville, WI which is half way between our houses. We were at the stamp store together and she spied this stamp. We both wanted it, but I knew she wanted it more. I also doubted that I would use it much because of all of the detail. With much coaxing she took the stamp and in return sent me a few images. It took me awile to get around to stamping, but I finally did and made this for her. Unfortunately, you can't see the pretty, pretty stickles (glitter) on it in this picture like you can IRL.

September card kit, Monkey on a swing

Ohhh, the new card kit is wonderful!! I love having coordinating papers and embellishments all together so I don’t have to wonder if the papers in my hand match. What a great idea! I modified the stamp a bit by only having the monkey on the swing. I stamped the image, cut the image in two and slid the two halves together to make it look like only the monkey is there. I love the paper that I picked in that it looks as if the monkey is swinging at the park. Again, what fun and how cool to have it come all together!

Stamp: Side by Side

Paper: Echo park paper (September paper card kit)

Silhouette card

I thought I would share with you this very easy technique that I love. This is a silhouette card. I started by using my brayer and coloring in the sky then I did the blue of the water and the mountains. I stamped, “standing beneath a tree” drew in the ground and colored in the image and ground with black marker. I like how it looks like the kids are looking at the sun rise or sun set! My brother in law’s girlfriend, Amber, sketched in the mountains just by shading in with a grey marker. She also drew in the birds. I hope you liked this technique and will give it a try!
