Sassy in the City Relay: Carrie Sassy

Hola,


I am at the final stretch of the Sassy in the City Relay ! Finally but not least Carrie and she is truly Sassy. I had a mental block while doing this card because as a person who lived in the NYC most of my life I wanted to do this card justice. However, I was completely over thinking the process. I let it go and just enjoyed the craft. I found a cool NYC skyline digi, in all places Microsoft Office stock clipart. I like the graffiti feel of the skyline with the Empire State Building as its focal point. I went with the classic black dress because nothing represents NYC fashion than wearing black! I hope you like. Thank you to all DT and all the people involved in this great celebration for making this so much fun!! Happy 700

Hola,

Well I am at the 3rd leg of the relay and today it is Miranda! The artists at Sassy Studio Designs have been doing a fabulous job in creating these characters into great digis. The challenge for this relay was to "keep it simple". I love to make my card simple so I was excited for this challenge. My pattern paper is from Die Cut with a View: Downtown Loft paper collection. I found it for a great deal at TJ Max. I hope you like!

Sassy in the City Relay: Charlotte Sassy

Hola,

I am sharing my Charlotte Sassy card. The first of the Sassy in the City Relay challenge. I love this image and I am a great fan of the show double the fun! I wanted to create a pattern on her dress so I used a fine tip marker and I made small dots. I hope you like this card. Can't wait to see the next Sassy in the City digi.

Thank you Sassy Ladies for another great image !

Crochet Slipper Mania

Hola,

I have been busy making crochet slippers lately. I had so much fun making them; that in a week I made two! I enjoyed them bc they are quick and required very little yarn ( Stash Buster!) The first set of slippers I made are from a pattern called  Pea Pod Slider Slippers by Robyn Chachula. The pattern is from Baby Blueprint Crochet book. I used Caron Simply Soft yarn although the pattern calls for a DK weight yarn. I wanted to make a bigger size of the slipper so I upped the yarn weight which gave me a larger gauge to create a 6 1/2 in long slippers. Check it out:



The second slipper that I made was from a cute pattern from the Two Girls Patterns Etsy shop. You can also find this pattern at Ravelry called the Valerie Toddler House slipper pattern. I used the Lily Sugar' N Cream cotton yarn that I had in my stash. The colors for very summery and my daughter loves pink. I added some cute butterfly buttons. I hope you like. There is an adult version to this pattern which I will be making very soon so check back soon!

Geisha Shawl

Hola,

I can't believe it has been a month since I posted a blog entry...I hope to post more entries in the next weeks. I wanted to share this Shawl that I made for friend's Mom. I was so very happy with the finish project I wanted to share! The patterns is from a must have book called:

Wrapped in Crochet: Scarves, Wraps & Shawls

by Kristin Omdahl

 

The pattern is called Geisha, a simple, elegant and quick pattern. I used Caron Simply Soft yarn. I changed the pattern a bit I just made 2 fan borders instead of 3; I felt adding an additional border would weigh the shawl. I hope you like and also this is the raverly link to the pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/geisha.

 

Disney Princess Craft Fun

Hola, This weekend I worked on birthday presents for a set of twins girls who love the Disney Princesses. I decided to put my Brother Disney Embroidery Machine to use! I made towels with their names & a princess image. In addition, I made birthday card using my Disney Princess Cricut Cart. I used the silhouette cut of the princess, which made it easy because it required no extra layers to cut. Then I used the negative cut of a Spellbinder Scallop Oval, as a frame.
