Make It Monday #12

Hello all!
Just a quick post for a very quick card.  I need to get this in the mail,  I only had a few min. to work on it.   

This week's Make It Monday challenge is to make a line frame.  For a better explanation and video click here.

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI-Boards and Beams
Cricut-Wild Card Cartridge. 
I used a black thin sharpie to draw the frame and a Tim Holtz ruler to help me.

To market, to market...

For other crochet bag ideas click here, here, here  and here. 

This market bag will hold just about everything.  I am using this bag to carry my crochet supplies.  This bag is huge and stretches even bigger.  Fun!
The pattern can be found at http://www.lionbrandyarn.com/ search for Fresh Produce Bag, pattern number: 90448AD.
I used Sugar N' Cream yarn-Hot Purple for the bag. 
For the flower, I used a pattern out of 100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet. 
Have a great one!

Girlfriend Power!

Last weekend my BFF treated me to my first pedicure and Starbucks.  We got to spend a little bit of some much needed (on my part) girlfriend time.  So, I thought I'd use this week's MFT sketch to make her a thank you card.  (If you read this...it's in the mail--really)  LOL!
Here are our pretty toes!


I took this from her FB page.  Hope she doesn't mind. 



Here is a close-up of the pretty flower...with bling in the center. 

Here is my card.  The only difference is that we had Starbucks...no wine. :)



This is the sketch.



Wow!  It's almost Friday!  What happened to this week?  Time flies when you had a fun weekend, I guess.  I need more of them.

Check back tomorrow for another crochet market bag.

Enjoy your day!

Stamps:  MFT-Girls Day In

Embossing Folders:  Sizzix-Tropical Paisley, Cuttlebug-dots

Punches-Ek Success-Retro Flower, McGill-File Tab, Target-small flower

 Here is a little bit of a side view...why not?  The more pictures the merrier.  :)

Crochet Mesh Shopping Bag #2

Hello again! I thought I'd show you one more crochet bag I made. 

For other bags I crocheted click here, here, here, and here. 

I love this flower! 

 I made this bag for a very dear friend.  :)  She told me that she liked the other bags I made, so I made her this one. 

For the pattern for the bag click here.  OR go to http://www.sugarncream.com/

and search for Sugar'n Cream Market Bag (Crochet).  This site requires you to have or create an account to get the pattern--it's all free.  For the flower and  leaves, I used a pattern for one that is on a scarf I am in the process of making.  You can find it by searching http://www.lionbrandyarn.com/.  The scarf is Doublin Scarf pattern #80883AD.  Again, you have to create or have an account to access the pattern. 

There are many free flower and bag patterns available...just do a search.  One site that has many crochet patterns for anything you'd like to crochet--maybe even things you didn't know you wanted to crochet click here.

For this bag I used Sugar 'n Cream Rose Pink yarn.  For the flower only, I used two strands together. 

If you make a bag, please let me know.  I'd love to see what you create!
Check back within the week.  I'll be posting another style of a crochet market bag.

Have a great day!

Hambo Hoedown #12

It's Hambo time!  I really love this time of week!
This week's Hoedown challenge is to "Use the KING and make a project announcing something special!"  Yep, copied that right from the Hoedown blog.  That's why my font changed ever so slightly. :)  For more information on the fun Hoedown Challenge click on either picture on the right.

Update!
OOPS!  I guess I did combine this with this week's MFT sketch.  I looked at the sketch last night and kinda made this card on memory this morning.  I guess it resembles the sketch. 

Supplies: 

Stamps:  Hambo Stamps-King-digi, Hero Arts-Happy Birthday, Studio G-Party

Templates: The Crafters Workshop-Scallop Swirls

Embossing Folder:  Cuttlebug-dot, Sizzix-Diamonds in Diamonds

Ribbon:  Offrey?

Button: ?

Many Blessings

This week I combined PTI's Make it Monday Challenge (use a die to emboss) and Mojo Monday sketch #187. 

I embossed PTI's Parisian Lace Die using the tan embossing mat (Spellbinders) on green paper.  I sanded the embossed design.  For the flower, I die cut 5 layers of tissue paper using one of PTI's Doily Details Dies.  I put one flat then folded the other 4 into 4ths.  I glued them in the center then crumpled them to give dimension. 

I hope you have many blessings in your life. 



Supplies: 

Paper:  My Mind's Eye?

Stamps:  PTI-Garden of Life

Dies:  PTI-Doily Details Collection, Parisian Lace, Sizzix-tag
