A New Baby Letter: "B" Bella

OK, so here is another letter.  I told ya'll I have been very busy.  I still have a couple that will be coming.  One more that needs to be completed & some that I just can't post until they are given.  I can't ruin the surprise, you know!!
This letter was supposed to be a baby shower present.  My friend that requested it, couldn't wait & gave it to the mom-to-be early.  She loved it, BTW.
What i had to go by to make it was:  Monkeys & the colors - pink, brown, & green.
So here it is:

Details:
I used my Gypsy & Cricut to design & create this project.
Calligraphy Collection Cart. for the name.
Paisley Cart. for the monkeys.
Life Is A Beach Cart. for the leaves.
I made "vines" from hemp twine in natural, brown, & green.  I twisted them & knotted them on the ends.  Ran the through the leaves & had the monkeys frolicking in the vines.
This one was so much fun to make!!

Even More Wall Letters

These were made for my friend.  She wanted them as gifts for her daughter's dancing teachers.  She wanted them to match b/c they will be hanging in the dance studio.

Ballet Slippers Glass Etching

I etch these little bowls and use them as candle/candy bowls.  They can also be used for a catch all dish or anything that you wish.  A friend of a friend saw them & asked me to do some with a dancing theme for dance teacher gifts.  I loved how they came out.  The pic does not do them justice.

Gold & White Wedding Bells

I made this wedding card for a friend that requested one.  She needed it to be gold & white.  This is what I came up with.

I cut all the pieces from white card stock.  For the gold pieces, I painted the card stock pieces with metallic gold acrylic paint.  I also edged the back layer with the gold paint.
The wedding bells were cut from the Weddings Cart.
The border edges were cut from the Elegant Edges Cart.

My Pink Stamper's DT Post May: Father's Day / Man Project

Welcome to our May Design Team Post for My Pink Stamper.
I chose to make a Daddy's birthday card for this project.  My husband's birthday was on the 14th, so it just worked out.
I love, love, love these new stamp sets.  On this card I used a new release set and a set that is a little older.  You can check out all of  Robyn's stamps & vendors HERE.  You can also check out the Gallery on Robyn's blog to get more inspiration for all of her stamp sets.

MPS Stamps Spectacular Sayings (Happy Birthday) & Sweet Baby (Daddy)
To get the Daddy:  the stamp said "Daddy's Sweet", I put a piece of tape over the letters that I did not want to stamp, inked the stamp & removed the tape, then stamped Daddy.
I inked the edges of the cards & all pieces.

Projects Coming!!

I have plenty of projects coming to my blog that I have been working on.  I have been busy crafting, but not much time to get them posted.  Some I have not had a chance to photograph either before they were given out - boo!  But I will be posting some projects that I have been doing.  I'm not MIA from the crafting or blog world, just the posting world.  I hope to get a lot of it ready to be posted this weekend.  I have plenty of cards that were made using the My Pink Stamper Stamp Sets and my Cricut.  I've also been working on some wall letters that my friends have asked for - for teachers' gifts.  Like I said - busy, busy, busy crafting.  It's been good.

My Pink Stamper April Design Team Post

Welcome to our My Pink Stamper April Design Team Posts.  I have to say again how proud I am to be a part of this great & very talented design team.  Robyn's stamps are the best to work with.  They are all so cute & stamp so well.  This month our challenge was to make favors of any kind.  I made these for my nephews we we have our big family Easter celebration.

This was a very simple project, but I love how they turned out.  When making favors I tend to do them fairly simple.  As much as it pains me (LOL), the kids just rip them apart to get to the candy.   I filled some cello bags with candy & made some really cute bag toppers.
