Blast from the past...

 Perler beads... you know little plastic beads you put on a little pegged grid, then hit them with the iron, and wala they stick together!

I decided to create some projects for my hubby!  And he loves the transformers.  I started with the Decepticon  symbol, the angles are a bit off but I think overall it came out great!  Who is your favorite Decepticon?  Mine is Starscream, the original.

Then the Autobot symbol.  I'm not super happy with this one, it is quite wonky looking to me.  But anyway, who is your favorite Autobot?  Mine is Bumblebee also the classic, cute little car, and he talked... no radio squealing like the new one.

And here they are together!  The Decepticon is my favorite for sure!  Be sure to check back for more summer craft fun, I'll show of Jac's creations later.  And be sure to check back for Alaska updates starting next week!

Feeling Crafty Tuesday...

 I made up some of these cool plastic shapes for a Disney swap and had to make some for myself... it was as easy as melting pony beads in the oven.... which is really easy.  Then some holes were drilled and chain to hang the pieces together, and a pretty bow, and new Disney decor!  I can see myself making these up in a whole bunch of different colors and patterns!

 

And as a general rule I haven't done a lot of sewing in the past, but my son has fallen in love with Domo.  And I found this piece of fuzzy brown fur at a garage sale and inspiration hit.  I turned it into a Domo ipod case, and he's pretty happy with it!  I just hope it doesn't fall apart!

Next month I'll be heading off to our Nations great 48th state Alaska for a mission trip.  Be sure to check back here to see how the trip is going!

A Quiet Get Away.

Serendipity Stamps owner Mary dreams of living in a little house, that is close to shops and especially the post office someday.  So this month she challenged us to use one of the Provence stamps or the cottage stamp.  I chose the Spring in Provence Stamp (601H).

Supplies: Cardstock, copic markers, flower soft, momento black ink, glue, and lace
Directions: I just stamped the image colored it in, matted it and attached it to the card, topped it off with some lace, then finally added random drops of glue to the greenery and topped with flower soft.

Package it up!

Happy Wednesday morning! 

Our first challenge this month was to create a wrapping, or package.  

I chose to use this little bag template that I love so much, and have had forever.  It is the perfect size for a gift card or even jewelry, and looks so much more fancy to me than a card!  I created this one with a graduate in mind, but how great would this be for Father's Day or any occasion.  Use any paper, and then pick the Serendipity Stamp that compliments it, or you could use a stamp and customize the whole bag.

I used Serendipity Stamp Believe from the Believe cube (278K).  Used a bright summer paper and a tiny bag template (surf the net they are out there).  I stamped the believe on the tag, and then added a pretty tissue paper ruffle.  Tied on some ribbon handles and tada instant gift bag!

Now hurry off to see what other great projects our Design Team has created!
