Hats and more hats

No cards from me, because I've been busy making hats for my girls.

 

This purple hat is the original hat that we paid $25.

 

Which I then copied the pattern.

 The other $25 hat!!  I had a hard time copying this one.... but once I figured it out, there was no stopping.

 Then decided to add some buttons and flowers.... my models are pretty eager to model all the hats.  Well.... my youngest one at least.

 Average price of yarn were $2.... can't beat that!

Playing in Paradise #81

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  Long time no post.... We were gone camping for two weeks and while we were in Montana, I picked up another hobby and have been crocheting ever since.  It started when we went to Big Fork and I purchased crochet hats for my girls, that's worth $25 each. I couldn't believe how expensive it was, considering the price of the yarn.  I know how to crochet a bit... but not enough to do a hat.  I'm gonna have to take some pics and post it next time.

Here's the view of our camp site. My kind of camping.... full hook up with Internet! Yeah baby!!! totally roughin' it.

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is by Jessi!

Quick card for you....created Friday 12:29 A.M.  LOL! I thought I'm all caught up with my PPC cards....turned out I did PPC 82 and not 81.

 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.

Playing in Paradise #80

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is by Nina!

I really love how this one turned out... I should practice more.  I haven't even touch my copic markers for a while now and now that I'm coloring my digis with PSE, I doubt I will be touching my Distress Inks any time soon too. 

 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.

Playing in Paradise # 79

Happy Friday my Paradise Friends!  I hope you're enjoying your summer... our summer weather has been fair.  There's been a couple of days, where we wish we have air conditioning.  But we have ceiling fan in each room and it will do for the short heat wave that we get.

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is by me!  You have two choices from my challenge.  You can do the color inspiration or the picture.  With the color inspiration, it's hard to have the exact shade, so don't sweat it! What ever shade of  Orange, Yellow and Green will do.

I used distress ink pads to do the color inspiration.  I first heat emboss the image and then rubbed the ink all over using a sponge block.  The harder you rub the ink, the more the image pop.

 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.

Happy Birthday

Morning to you all!  Hope your weather is to your liking, where ever you are.  Thanks for taking the time to see what I'm up to.

Made two cards a while back.... Same design, just changed the layout a bit. 

 I used distress ink pad with sponge block over the embossed pieces, to give it that vintage look.  I personally like the first layout more.  I wanted to showcase the blue and green alcohol inks with blending solution on photo paper.

Playing in Paradise #78

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  Well.... it's August and that means back to school will be just around the corner.  I don't even want to think about that yet.  We've been busy with play dates and trips to Calaway Park.  We haven't even hit the water park and the zoo yet.  My girls have been wanting to stay home, specially when it's hot outside.  And of course... wanting to go out when it's raining. Kids!

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog.  This week's challenge is by Angela!  She'll be doing series of challenges based on design.  And here's the first one.

I hope I made the cut.  We have to complete our card before we get to see Angela's tutorial.  But check me out again.... four cards!  I've just been a busy crafting bee lately.  I haven't touch my e-reader for over a week... I have been itching, but I know once I start reading, you will not see a single card from me. 

 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.
