Christmas Time!

Steve went to Utah for his dad’s 100th birthday this last weekend. We have a friend in Utah that we stay with when we go to visit. We always do something crafty for each other for Christmas. So we thought if we could get it done Steve could take it with him. Also it was her daughter’s birthday and we wanted to do something for that as well.

She told me that they have decided for the last few years that their Christmas colors are red and turquois. Have you looked for things that are those colors and Christmas? They are not to be found. So of course our solution was to make them something. So we made these cute Santa ornaments. The pictures look a lot more blue but it is very turquois in person!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we decided to make some ornaments similar to some that we saw at our local store. Finding the turquois vinyl was a little tough but we love how they turned out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the birthday girl (she turned 15) black is her color of choice and she likes gnomes! So we made her this fun “garland” that she could leave up all year! We love the colors too! We also made her a little Joy plaque to help her stay positive!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have ornament sets and gnome garland ready for purchase, if you are interested! We can do custom colors! Here is a picture of a red and green garland!

A Simple Card

Sometime you just need a card to show someone you care.

So open up the Cricut app and away we go.  Find a card you like, find some paper.  Get a mat, put the paper on and load into the cricut.  Make sure you put the scoring tool in, and change it to a pen when you need to.

I wanted to say that I am not sure what direction life is taking us right now.  We are together in this journey.

Plenty of room to write something inside.

I did let the Cricut write it in here.  Just covered it up so you could see the space.

Penguins, Penguins, Penguins!

Sorry we didn’t post last week. We are up to our eyeballs in making penguin kits!

We have been trying to get the kits ready for our class at our church. We are having everyone make a set of penguins! We need 30 kits.  The hardest thing was finding ribbons. We just can’t find 3/8″ ribbon that has more than one color.

Anyway, today we are going to tell you how we did the yarn for the hats. As we started to cut the yarn we found that wrapping it around a piece of cardboard wasn’t working so I asked Steve if he could cut a board that would work. He did and it helped it to go so much faster! Considering that we needed about 60 piece per kit. We still had a little trouble when it came to cutting the yarn. Then Steve had the bright idea to use a bag clip to hold the yarn in place while we cut it. He ordered an extra large one and surprised me with it! It worked great! And now all the yarn and ribbon kits are ready, just have to cut all the wood pieces! Here are some photos of our solution!

A Birthday Gift

A very dear friend and second mom has a birthday this week! I love that it is so close to Halloween and we always make her a Halloween themed card! The problem always comes to what gift to send.  She sends cards to all of us for EVERY holiday! She is in her later life and recently has had some health concerns that are giving her a little less energy to do things. Luckily when I spoke with her a couple of weeks back she told me she would love if I would send her some cards to put together. She even told me what kind she wanted!!!   I was so relieved! She wanted the one we call a 5 step card. We cut the bases and a coordinating paper and she can use it for any occasion she wants!

 

 

 

 

Here’s her card!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She called me this afternoon and said she got a package and was jumping up and down, even though she can’t anymore! I’m so glad she liked it and I really get excited when I get feedback!

 

Thanks for listening to my ramblings!

Inspirlutions Penguins

These last couple of weeks we have been working on designing our own set of penguins! From the rough shapes to the finished product, it was a fun project! We forgot to take photos along the way but here is the finished set! Our church wants to do them as a class and we are excited to help! That means we will have the set available to everyone, whether you want to come and do them as a class or just get the kit and do them up yourself!

Thanks for your support!
