Crafting Again..... :D

Hola Bloggers! WHEW....so glad to be among the crafting again....lol It's been awhile since I've been here on my blog and I sure do apologize about that. I'm coming back with a new exciting adventure that me and my partner in crime....Susi aka: Sillyshysushi are doing together. We have made a challenge for ourselves to make "masculine thememd projects" We've noticed that there are not that much out there for guys. So with that we thought it would be a great way to hopefully bring some inspiration and share with our crafting community. :D I have started with a couple of vids on my youtube channel, just CLICK HERE and you will automatically be tooken right to my channel. Here are some pics of the two Card/Gift Card Holders. I also have kits for sale if you are interested in them. They will sell at $5 each and $2.50 for shipping and handling. Everything will be included that you will see in the vid or pics. Hope everyone is having a Cool Scrappy Time out there....make sure to keep an eye out for the other projects. And until next time and always....PEACE! :)

Learning A New Craft! :D

Hello Bloggers! Seems like I haven't been on here forever but, really it's only been about two weeks....LOL! I have become an official CROCHE-RRRR! :D I LOVE IT! I've always liked crocheting and the only real thing that I could do crocheting was make a long chain...I mean super long...after that, I was lost, confused...didn't get it! ETC. ETC. I know DRAMATIC...aren't I! LOL! A few years ago I tried to make a blanket for my son, and let's just say it looked like a DORITO Chip by the time I finished it!!!! Today I am soooooo super proud of myself that I've completed my first project, my NEOPOLITAN baby blanket, I was so craving some and that's what inspired me. The next one I started I was inspired of watermelon but...I couldn't find the right exact colors for watermelon and used these springy colors....so glad I did. If I say so myself it's coming out Great! It's so girly! This blanket I'm going to make to cover a single sized bed for my mama's, Juliza. Now I have DEMANDED orders that I need to make more for the rest of the kids. And in specific colors! YIKES what have I done!!!! LOL! Here are some pics that I wanted to share. As always thanks for stopping by! Peace! :D

"I'M TOTALLY NUTS ABOUT YOU" MINI!

Hola Bloggers! Bringing a new post here tonite....this mini came about from the squirrel image on the Cricut "Create A Critter" Cartridge. I Love that cartridge! And that image is so SUPER CUTE! The acorn is the image from the same cartridge, but I altered the top of it a little. And then "DINGY" me didn't see the cute scalloped top of the acorn and made mine plain...it worked for this mini so wasn't that unhappy with it. I really am pleased at how this mini came out. I especially Love the lil mini acorns....Aye sooooo flippin cute! :) The paper collection I used is from K&Co "Ka-Zoo" Collection, the colors in this collection are GREAT! Here are some pics of this mini. Hope Everyone's Valentine's Day is filled with Mucho! Mucho! AMOR! :D Peace!
