Catsup

So, I have been terrible with writing here. I have been continuing to do craft projects so I have lots to share. I am going to use this post to show all of the stuff that I have done lately and I will type a little tidbit about each thing. If you want to know more please ask me, I am always happy to share about my craft projects.

So since I am going to put a bunch of stuff in one blog I am going to go back to some stuff that I skipped as well. First up, my brothers birthday, this happened in March and I just skipped over talking about it. For Christmas my brother got what I think is called a duck blind, I call it a fort. So I made him this sign for his "fort". It's paper, craft wood and mod podge, pretty basic. I think he said he was going to hang it in his garage, I don't really know what he ended up doing with it.

The card to go with it, I don't really have much to say about the card. It's blue, it has fish on it....

The next skipped project is my dads birthday. I made him a super cute Angry Birds card. I found the idea HERE. Instead of putting them all on a card I decided to make a round card and just make the red bird. I don't have many punches, I needed them bigger anyway, so I just cut shapes on my Cricut, then followed what she did.

I think that catches me up on skipped projects so now onto things that I just haven't shared with you yet. Up first... Fathers Day.

This one was for my step dad. The quote reads "Any man can be a father but it takes a real man to be a dad". It's fitting for us. I stamped the quote with individual letters, cut the paper by hand and the red is shiny ribbon.

This was for hubbys step dad. It was paper scraps and I cut the sentiment with my cricut.

This one was for hubbys dad. It was actually being mailed (not in a box) so it doesn't have any embellishments. The quote is what mattered most on this card "Small boys become big men through the influence of big men who care about small boys". It is one of the more simple and "boring" cards that I have made, I am not really a fan but I was attempting to "kiss" (Keep It Simple Stupid).

The card that I made for Joshs mom for her birthday is one of my favorites that I have ever made. I combined two of my loves, crochet and cards. I got the idea from a headband display, I thought it would make an adorable card. I made the flower out of embroidery floss so that it wouldn't be huge.

 I used a really old flower punch that I have had since the beginning of time and striped paper that came in the same pack as the paper used on the card and envelope so that they would be matching colors.

I made my first vinyl wall hanging. It is in my kitchen so it of course has a coffee theme. I am very pleased with the way that it tuned out. I have a few more vinyl ideas now, I will share with you if/when I finish them.

The last one that I want to share today it a wedding card for my friend Laura. I knew that I wanted to use the owl punch but figuring out what I wanted to do with it was a little hard. Then I saw that someone made a little wedding dress for one and I instantly knew what I wanted to do. He wore his blues so I spent the time to make little tiny dress blues for the owl, I don't think I have ever spent that much time on something so little but I am freaking proud of how it turned out.

Her colors were yellow and blue, so that is why the owls are yellow :)

 Close up of my bride and groom owls. I am very proud of them.

 I loved this rub on and I was thrilled that it just happened to be blue.

Well... That catches us up. I have not been wanting to post because I was so far behind. Hopefully now that I am all caught up I will have the want to talk about my projects again. I have quite a few that are in the final stages of being complete and a few that are waiting to be delivered. I hope to talk to you again soon! Thanks for reading.
