Mojo Monday Week 93

Hello everyone, I've been following the Mojo Monday blog and had been wanting to participate on their sketch challenge. I finally took the leap and I have to say that I really like it! I will try to do this on a weekly basis and post it on my blog.

Here's my take on the challenge. I made a birthday card and it turned out pretty good. I'm quite pleased with it.

Materials used:

Paper: CTMH

Stamp: CTMH (Cupcake Sprinkles and Spunky Greetings)

Ink: CTMH (Breeze and Creme Brulee)

Other: Scallop shapes cut from Cricut and Nesties, ribbon and pearls from Michaels

Baby Blanket

Hi everyone, i'm crocheting a baby blanket I'm planning to give to my Aunt who is having her first baby. She's also the one I made those baby shower invites. I'm almost a third of the way, the finished size would be 30x30 inches. I'm using a multicolor yarn from Bernat Softee Baby with a shell pattern using size G hook. My mother in law taught me the pattern, she's the best.
I love this yarn as it is so soft. I just hope I finish it on time for her baby shower. :)

Crochet Baby Hat and Booties

Happy Monday everyone!
Here are a couple of baby gift set I made. It's a crochet Baby hat and booties in blue and yellow.
I have 5 baby showers in the next five weeks so I will be a busy bee finishing up handmade gifts!
I used the Bernat Softee Baby for the blue set and Lion Brand Baby Soft for the yellow set.

Birthday Boy Card

Here is the birthday card I made for my co-worker's (Jasmine) son. He is turning one on July 3rd. I cut the Giraffe from New Arrival cartridge and ran the body thru my cuttlebug using swiss dots. I love how this turned out especially the wiggly eyes. :)

Crocheted Flowers

Here are some Crocheted Flowers I made recently. I thought they are so cute and add extra touch to handmade cards. They are made of embroidery floss.

Birthday Present for Tison

The first picture is an envelope from Wild Card cartridge from Cricut and I made an owl card inside. I also stamped it with an owl and a branch from CTMH Dream Big and Aspiration. The second picture is a handmade basket with a matching gift card holder. The patterned cardstock is from Memory Box. Inside the box are 5 handmade cards for different ocassions and a small notepad.

Another Baby Shower Invites

This is another set of baby shower invites I made, this time it is for my Auntie Nora who is also having her first baby boy!
I made the envelope out of a blue cardstock, used 2" scallop punch and 1 1/2' circle and stamped baby bear from Stampin' Up. The ink pads are from CTMH, i used Breeze, Dutch Blue and Sunny Yellow. The band around the envelope is made out of strip of patterned paper and a silk brown ribbon from Michaels. The pull is also a ribbon attached with a brad.

Baby Shower Invitations

Here are the baby shower invites that I made for my cousin Helen. She is having a boy!
I used Cricut's New Arrival cartridge to cut the umbrella, Giraffe, onesie, and the words Baby Shower . I also ran the umbrella and the giraffe through my cuttlebug using swiss dots .

Birthday Card

A card as part of my handmade gifts to Heather. The white background is embossed using swiss dots, a scallop punched paper in the middle with a flower sticker. The dotted ribbon is from Michaels.

This is the birthday card I made for her. I used felt flower with gem in the center, stem and leaves from CTMH, cut the center from my cricut using Accent Essentials with faux stitching, berry sticker and satin pink ribbon. the pink patterned paper is also from CTMH.

On this card, I used CTMH Dream Big stamp, buttons with waxy flax, blue cs, misc patterned paper and 3 clear gems. I cut the shape of the center paper from my cricut using Accent Essentials.

Here is the mini notepad I bought at Michael's and I just changed the front and back to customize it. I used DCWV Nana's nursery and I cut the berry from my cricut using the HK Greetings.

Birthday Gift!

Hello everyone,

I finally finished uploading the pics I took of my recent creations! My goal is to post everyday so you will see my handmade cards/projects in the next several days.

First off, I wanna show you a birthday present I made for my dear friend Heather! I made her a bunch of handmade cards that she can give away and a mini notepad. I made the box out of a patterned cardstock from DCWV, size 10 1/2" x 12". I cased it from Wonderfully Whimsy http://wonderfullywhimsy.blogspot.com/2009/01/pretty-box-gift-card-set.html. I love this box and the cards fit there very well!

My first blog!

Hello, I finally joined the world of blogging!!! I have been inspired by so many creative people sharing their love of paper crafting (i.e cardmaking) through blogging.
I hope to share my love of stamping, card making and crocheting. I also hope to share some of my organization ideas to help other crafters out there, and post some pictures so others could be inspired as well.

More to come...... thanks for checking my blog!
Have a great day!
