Scrappy Scarecrow

I made this scarecrow using Scrappy's Scarecrow.  The crow is from Scrappy's Fall Crows.  

You can find the files here.  Rob has TONS of great files!

Using my Silver Bullet and a 30 degree fabric blade, I cut the hat, shirt, and overalls out of

some scraps of fabric I had on hand.  

The body, shoes, and crow were made from Recollections paper.

The leaves were leftover from another project.

I purchased the hay bale from Hobby Lobby.

I used raffia, purchased at Hobby Lobby, for the straw hair and at the arms.

The raffia was a little too thick for my liking, so I used a long needle to separate the strands.

Here is my design.

let it snow MTC

 let it snow SVG

Now, you are probably wondering why I did a snowman in September.  Well, it has been so hot and dry this summer and snow is cold and wet!!   And, I LOVE snowmen!  (Yes, I know the mittens do not match...LOL Have you ever tried to match plaid? LOL)

These are the products I used:

8 x 10 canvas from Michaels

Blue Craftsmart Wash Away paint from Michaels

White fleece for the snowman body

White flannel for the "snow"

Light blue satin for some snowflakes

Wonder Under for adhering the fabric to the mat

Snowflake rhinestones from Joann's

The mittens were made out of flannel scraps

The arms, nose, and eyes were cut out of cardstock scraps

Murphy came to visit

Murphy came to visit me today!  You all know Murphy!  It was THAT kind of day!  I worked and worked on my file for the That's Scrap-Fabric Blade Blog Hop which starts tomorrow.  I finally took a break and went to dinner.  I was so glad Murphy was not here when I got home!  Project done!!!

Tune in tomorrow for more info!!

I found this at a local garage sale for a quarter.  I figured I could find a new purpose for it. 
I have the Silver Bullet from Sherri at That's Scrap Inc and used it to cut out my flowers and leaves.

Using some of Penny Duncan's http://pennyduncancreations.blogspot.com/ roses and leaves and some flowers and ferns that I designed, I changed it to a memo board.

 I really like the way it turned out!

Santa Face

This is a Santa face that I created for the Black Cat U.S. forum's Christmas in July.  The file is listed below.

A Thank You card

Just a little card I did.  I designed the vines and leaves in Inkscape. I  then colored the leaves with a green colored pencil.  The flowers were designed in MTC.  The "Thank You" is from Stampin' Up

Do you have a pair????

Just had to make this!  It is 5x7 and I have made them into magnets and wall hangings.  Just a little fun for the girls!

Been hiding too long!

I guess I have been hiding too long!  Hibernating, perhaps!  I am going to be posting some of the things I have created while hibernating this winter.  Please feel free to grab any files.  I only ask that you use them for personal use.

Boy do I love my Cougar and MTC!

What would you wish for????

My daughter's wedding invitation

This is my daughter's wedding invitation.  The "r" was the only thing cut with my Cougar.  The flourishes were stamps that I scanned in.  My daughter wanted them all HAND STAMPED!  Not only NO, but HECK NO!  I hot fixed the gems in each corner.  The picture is not that great...sorry.  I may have to resort to asking my husband to take the picture!!

I bought a bunch of lollipops for 25 cents and found a use for them. 

I cut the first ones out with the tiny rhinestones and realized that was just too much work to get the cirlces off my mat!  So, I enlarged the rhinestones and I like the look!  (Plus, I was less frustrated!)

Enjoy!

Valentine Butterfly

I made this today. I opened my big mouth and told a co-worker that I would do a Valentine project with her Girl Scout troup to give to residents in a local retirement home. She originally said they would need 42. I found out today it is 147! Yikes! I better get to cutting. I have other ideas for cards, but wanted to share this one.
