Unicorn Poop

I know this is not a "stampin" post, but it is a creation our Dad found and requested Adrienne and I make... so, without further ado here it is:

UNICORN POOP!

 We told the lady at the bakery supply store about the purpose of our visit in getting 'disco dust' and she was so excited and asked us to bring in one of our creations for display... As she had never heard about unicorn poop before, I told her to Google it.  When we brought in this little beauty she told us she had been telling everyone about it and another lady had decided to make some of her own also.  She put our creation in the focal point of all the other displays she had.  It looked so awesome!

For our display we even used edible grass.  Now for some reason I feel like I should be prancing around the neighborhood leaving these cuties on every one's doorstep, but I have more important things to do right now.  But, can you imagine opening your front door to this?  I would just die!

While we had our happy cookie dough going we decided it would be super cute to make a plain rainbow version:

I love it!

Here's to hoping spring is coming soon, and Happy Hunting... for unicorns and their pretty poop.

Valentine's Day

This year I made valentines for my Mom to send to her grand-kids (aka: my nieces and nephews).  I had so much fun making these, and it was great to have Adrienne's help too.  I think love is one of my favorite subjects for making cards, which is unfortunate since my love life is non-existent... But that's okay because there are still a lot of people who love me, and I love them!  I made two cards for nieces and three for nephews. I have a few more nieces, but they aren't really old enough to care yet... so in the coming years I will be making more (not to mention my hopes to make one for a certain "special someone" someday).

So, here are the girls':

The big heart is my Mom aka Grammie and the little heart is Greta

Inside it says: " I love you bunches" for Zelda

And here are the boys':

For Ben

Grammie and Jack

Inside it says: "Means 'I Love You' in Dinosaur" for John

And here are a couple extras:

Spring

I realize it is not spring yet, but the weather hasn't been extremely wintry either.  I seem to keep making springy sunshiny cards.  I had so much fun making them!

Christmas Cards

 I am in charge of activities for my church womens organization and thought this month was the perfect opportunity to share the card making love so people could have some great cards to send this season.  After gathering some ideas off the internet these are what I came up with: 

I dont know why, but I really love this little guy!  Maybe its the color combination.

 

Adrienne tackled this card, and I really like it!  I may have had a little input in making the little silver ornament caps and tying those teeny bows. 

I dont know what it is, but for some reason I am drawn to the wise men motif...  Outside it says "Wise Men..."  Inside it says "Seek Him Still"  I hope I can be wise like those men of old.

 

A special thanks to Connie Babbert for her tree folding diagram and inspiration!  I downloaded her diagram then opened it in my silhouette software to make it into a cutting file, cutting half circles with the perforations where I needed to fold.  I really love that little robot!

And for this beautiful card I used the silhouette to cut out this lovely manger scene.  It fills me with so many warm fuzzies when I think about the savior coming to the world!  How wonderful that that baby would grow up to save us all!

The activity was a success and everyone really enjoyed their creative experience!

Merry Christmas!

Thankful (PMSMO6) Jessica

I have so much to be thankful for in my life and while much of it can be counted, the things that bring me the most joy in life can't be quantified.  

 

This is my first time using a digi and it didn’t print as crisp as I would have liked.  I guess I just need more practice.  I love the colors in this paper, especially for the season. I am grateful for the means that allow me to participate in such a gratifying activity!

Oh No, You're Sick?! Yay, I Get To Make A Card!

I love that making cards serves a purpose, but when it's for someone in the hospital I'd rather not have that reason for making a card... Hopefully I can a least bring some cheer to someone in an unfortunate circumstance.

Inside

I absolutely Love this little sour puss!

 In case you cant read the text easily it is a great quote I found by Terri Guillemets:

"Weather is a great metaphor for life- sometimes its good, sometimes its bad, and there's nothing much you can do about it but carry an umbrella."

Inside

I can't stop using Argus with his teddy, and the saying is so cute!

More with Mom

Mom needed a couple of cards for upcoming events, so I insisted she come learn more about the cool things we could do, and we had so much fun in the craft room!  First we made a baby card for my cousin Rachel to congratulate her in the arrival of her 1st baby.

Inside

Next we made a card for her sister's upcoming birthday... I love the irony of this card!

Inside we stamped a happy saying to keep the irony going:  "I hope your birthday is filled with sunshine and laughter"

Monstrous Thanks

Well now that Adrienne's party is over and the thanks have been sent and received I wanted to post all the cards I made to support the cause!  I had so much fun making all of these with different color schemes and shapes!  Argus is definitely one of the best monsters!

Neon Green (PMSMO5) Jessica

I love these Makeover Challenges, and this one was no exception. But I was a little stumped in getting started as we don't have *too* much neon green lurking around our craft room.I do love how neon colors pair with zebra print, so I decided to use that as my card base. I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out:

I also decided on using Caliope because she is really cute, and I don't see much of her around. I love the quote about stars which reads: "If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand." I think it complements Caliope with Stars perfectly.

Holding on to Summer

Fall is here and although it is my favorite season I am determined to keep the bright colors of summer alive.  Using my 40% off JoAnn's coupon I got a fun stamp set with all these stamps and more in it.    

Yay for Fiskars!  Yay for ribbon!  Yay for rhinestones!  Yay for glitter glue!

Back to School (PMSM04 Challenge) -Jessica

I love this little cutie, she might as well be named Jessica because I can totally relate. I may not be very old, but I still don't want to grow up, and I love to get into things with my hands more than with tools like paintbrushes!
