An ornament and a pass

No, no one made a pass on me or my ornament. 

It’s been a very busy weekend with my next to oldest grandson.  We went to see Harry Potter 7 Part 1 and then to the local Christmas parade.  It was cold!  Brrr!  But not nearly as cold for us as it was for the belly dancers who shimmied down the street with bare midriffs! 

We took Cayden back home today and it was a 6 hour trip total so there’s hardly been any time for my little pink studio and all that paper. 

I do still have a couple of little projects for you.  One is another ornament for my little studio Christmas tree and the other is  a pass.  First the ornament:

This fan is from Ashlyn’s Alphabet and is the second fan.  I used the shadow feature and cut a second fan that I flipped with my Gypsy.  The paper is Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby and the roses are ribbon roses I picked up from the bridal section at Hobby Lobby.  I have a little collections of these as I do so many things. The fan is also edged with Stickles.  It turned out very nice I think.  It’s cut at 3.5”.  I wrapped the handle with ribbon and punched the hole for the ribbon hanger on the side of the fan. 

I am working on some other ornament ideas I hope to share later in the week. 

For my other little project I have some hall passes I made for a friend who teaches high school English.  Her passes have been walking away, so I made a couple of clearly identifiable hall passes.  They turned out cute and very clean looking I think! I laminated them for durability. 

I gave them a little faux stitching to pull it all together.  I used the icon feature on the Mickey and Friends for the bomb and I used Base Camp for the letters and their shadow. I even used George for the base which is 3 x2”. On the back I used Cuttin UP for the lettering, and I welded all the lettering with my Gypsy.  Love my Gypsy!

I’ll be giving Melissa her passes tomorrow and though I know it wasn’t a complicated project or very involved, I know Melissa will love them.  They cost me very little to make as I used scraps, but I know they will be appreciated.  I hope you all have a fabulous beginning to a new week! 

Vroom-Vroom—A SOUS Sketch!

I saw this sketch over on Stuck on U Sketches and thought it was perfect for these pictures of our little Chaz playing with this race car toy. He got so much joy out of it.  His uncle Norm sat very patiently with him until he learned how it worked.  I think he was about 15 months old.  He still loves any thing with wheels.  It was really hard to get any good photos because of the light coming in through the window and because he is so darned fast.  I had to scrap them anyway. 

I fell in love with this Crate Paper a couple of years when I saw it at my local scrapbooking store.  I bought the whole line.  Sadly the store closed and the only places I have locally to shop at are Hobby Lobby and Joann’s.  Oh, how I miss Two Scrappy Cats!  Boo hoo!  There is a whole lot to be said about a local scrapbooking store. Anyway I bought the paper for another purpose but since I’d bought the whole line, I thought I could use these three sheets here.  So cute. 

The card stock comes from my two favorites companys Bazzill and Cordinations plus some scraps from my trusty scrap drawers. When I looked at this paper I immediately thought of this wheel like cut on Accent Essentials.  I cut the big one at 7” and the smaller ones at 1 1/2 and 2”.  The font is Mickey and the car is from Mickey and Friends. The journaling stamp is a Hobby Lobby Stampendous Stamp.  I say it again!  SO CUTE!  I love the way this turned out.  Thank you SOUS for this great sketch!  Now for some close-ups!

Oh, look at that face!  So intense! 

That’s my offering for today!  Hope you enjoyed it.
