Playing in Paradise#96

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  I'm so happy to be back... I missed last week post due to my craft room being out of service.  The water from our humidifier was not draining properly and  we had to pull most of my stuff out to clean it up.  But every thing's back to normal now, so here I am with a card for you.


I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog.
Winter Birds is our challenge for this week!


You have to excuse my winter birds.... I search and search for stamp or paper for this challenge,  all I can find is this Martha Stewart punch.   I colored the embossed image with my copic markers. Added some rhinestones and glitters to jazz it up a bit.

I actually made one already, which I delivered yesterday evening....realizing I didn't take a picture for my post.  So, I had to do a quick one last night...some what similar to the first one.

I'm Back!

Well, well, well... I think I'm back and I have two cards to share with you.  And of course a couple of hats that I personalized for my girly girls.

I hope my MOJO will surprise me today and help me create some cards... I tried to craft last night, but only got OJO.  Of  course I need to have a card ready for today for our friend, but so far I have nothing.  It's only 11 am! lots of time (huh, who am  I kidding?)


"You're only young once.  You can be immature for a Lifetime"
Isn't that the truth!  My digi image is by Mo Manning and I colored Lizzy in a tizzy using PSE.



My youngest one was criticizing my lettering... she said I should do better with the letter D next time...looks like an O she said.  Geez! And she's also going around telling her friends, to just tell me what colors they want and that I will make one for them! What can I say.... that's our Madisen for you.

Playing in Paradise #84

Happy Friday my Paradise friends! Thank You so much for taking the time to check my little corner.  It has been very quiet lately and I hope I will find time to do some crafting soon.  I'm still crocheting...and visiting Michael's often, but to buy yarn instead of paper.

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.... and  I hope it will give you versatility. You can use the photo or the color combo for inspiration.


For my card, I used the photo and only one color from the color combo.  I only end up using one color because I didn't have the right shade.  I could of used what I have, but they were not pleasing together.

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!
