Roberts Crafts Freebie Friday

I linked to this site for a cool giveaway!

MLK weekend

I spent Friday doing nothing.  I had pain in my left hand, probably arthritis.  Saturday afternoon I worked on a project for a friend's daughter.  Hope she likes it.  She wants zebra prints in her room and she likes pink.  I tried adding more layers, but it just took too much from the zebra stripes.  The zebra stripes were freehand painted on white card stock.  The banner was and letters were cut on my cricut from Country Life.  I used stickles on the letters and then added glossy accents for shine.  I'm not a good photographer.  It looks better in person.  My first banner.

Today, I was inspired by Jessica from KinderStampO's birthday blog.  One post was using a giggle stamp, which I don't own.  I searched webster's online dictionary for the definition of smile.  I printed it on my computer and cut it out.  Here's what I came up with:

In another post, Jessica made a 3 x 3 card with a smiley.  It inspired me to get out the Peachy Keen stamps and practice lots of smiles.  Here's the finished project with the smile definition and lots of Peachy Keen faces.  I cut the circles on the cricut with George and Basic Shapes, all from scraps in my drawer.  I think there are 60 faces, from 3/4" to 1 1/2".  This is to decorate my door at work for the remainder of January.  I hope it makes people smile!

   

Hope everybody has had a fun weekend.  Back to work tomorrow!

Stray?

Today we have a stray.  Not the usual dog or cat, but somebody's bunny!  I went to a few neighbors and on to the neighboring streets, nobody is missing a long-eared bunny!  Isn't cute!

Busy crafting with my gypsy!

I've been having fun today!  I finally got pictures of two cards I made recently, my turtle card and New Year's card.  Both were designed on my gypsy.  The turtle card was inspired by several blogs for Flaunt it Friday's.  I just had to make a turtle card! 

The New Year's baby I updated with some stickles and a sash, to make it look more like New Year's instead of New Baby!  Don't want people to get the wrong idea on the card. 

Today I saw Scrappin' Navy Wife's blog.  More inspiration and a chance to use my Peachy Keen stamps.  I so loved her leprechaun, I just had to try and make one myself.   It's a little early for St. Patrick's Day!  I usually procrastinate and never get some things done, so for once I'm early.

Hope you are having a great day.  Today is the last day of my vacation, back to work tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

I am looking forward to a wonderful New Year!  Hope you have a Happy and properous New Year!

Yesterday I made a New Year's card, but then decided it looks more like a New Baby card!  The baby is cute, with a Peachy Keen face!  I plan to do some more work on the card, then hopefully I will post a pic here.
