Come and meet Miss Molly the the Snow Lady

Introducing Miss Molly the Snow Lady. I finally got her done for Emma my grand daughter. I have been so busy but you know we all keep saying that and I know it is true but I’m tired of saying it. If you would like her pattern it is FREE just like the ones of the snowman I did several day ago and once you get to this web site you are going to be amazed at what is there and it is all FREE. If you like Whimsical you will spend some time there. The blog is called Phee Mcaddell, I see she has added some more things since the last time I was there so I will have stop by again. I love here puppets they are outstandingly beautiful…

All I had to do was have some brads, I used medium size pink ones and small black and small white ones. I used one eyelet so we can hang her. I added several different kinds of snow. I did color Molly with my copic markers.

I do hope you enjoy Miss Molly. Thank you for stopping by have a wonderful week.

It is a Fairy made with Flowers ornament

I used all of the artificial flower. For making these fairies the large flowers work the best. I pull then a part, every piece. I keep every thing. I will start from the head and go down. The hat is the backs of the flowers and the inserts they put in the middle of the flower. Once the hat is done I put a thread at the top for hanging and that size is up to you or if you want to wait tell you are all done then put the threat on that is fine also. I used my glue gun to put every thing together. I get the faces all ready painted on the wood balls. The hands are the leaves. If you want to curl then in, you can do that. It is up to you, you are the creator. You make then as you want then to be. The skirt is the peddles from several different flowers.

Enjoy, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

Hugs, Patricia ♥ ♥ ♥

Angels of Ornaments

Every year I make each of my Doctors a Christmas card. This is for one of then. These are images from Prairie Fairy images. Arranged the images on my card stock as I wanted then. I made it to be an Easel card.  

These are all the copic markers I used to color the images.

This is one of Martha Steward punches. It is a large punch.

I did use a large Christmas ribbon for on the base and of course I added snow all over the place. Also beads. The peddles in the outer part of the flower, I used the pieces from the large Martha Steward punch and created a yellow rose to go in the middle.  

This is the close up. I added snow as you can see. The circles in the background I cut out of the ribbon and used dots to stick then on the back. I tried to use some Stickles glitter glue “Star Dust” a little here and there. I also used silver ribbon to frame the girls and I thought that worked pretty good. I hope you enjoy my card. Thanks for stopping.

Hugs, Patricia ♥ ♥ ♥

Just Waiting

I thought I better share this card with you before it gets lost. It is one of CC designs. They have all kinds of really cute images. My images is called Swiss Pixie Fall Birgitta Digi Images. I get my images from All that Scraps if you would like to stop at the store. Please do.. I know they are having a clearance going on right now. I used one of those punches that embosses as it punches out mine was leaves. I added some Stickles glitter glue called star dust  to give it some sparkle. Used what are called Beadzs on the sunflowers and her wings just for something different. They are real tiny Beads that come in all kinds of colors. I also used the corner punch from Creative Memories. I added a metal plate to the card that says Inspire. Of course a bottom. 

I do hope you enjoy my card. I colored it with copic markers. I have good week. Until next time, remember if you give someone a smile most of the time you will get a smile back.

Happy Crafting….

Merry ChrisMoose…. Sharing some fun Christmas Sites and also some Remember when, thoughts from the past….

 
I think this is the best time to show you my tag for Squigglefly’s Challenge #77 for this week right after Emma Christmas Moose that she made. We need to make a tag with non traditional Christmas colors. So I made my moose gray with blue horns and it is raining out, brown star and he is sitting on durt. It was fun to make. As I was coloring him it was kind of hard because all colors are Christmas colors. We have all kinds of NEW images in the store this week. So if you would like to stop by just click here.
Now with being December 1, WOW!!! can you believe that, this year as all the other ones just fly by. As I did last year I shared with you some interesting craft sites that have great Christmas gift ideas, also so had FREE stuff, had templates, all kinds of goodies. I do hope you will find something that will help you this Christmas.
All Free Crafts, They have so much everything FREE things for making stuff for Santa, wreath, centerpiece, easy tree trims food gifts, gift wrapping, snowman, stocking, reindeer,snowflakes, elf's, Angels, Kids crafts. I’m sure you will fine some thing there.
When I was a child we lived in a small town maybe about 500 hundred people. We lived right next door to the skating rink. If I remember right I think my Dad took care of the rink and there was a little house where people could go inside and get warm. It was in Upper part of Michigan so I do remember always having a lot of snow. I also remember (I was the middle child) my brothers yelling at me to get out of the way because I wanted to help shovel but my Dad would say let her help if she wants.I new I made more work for my brothers then I was helping. You can NEVER have Christmas without snow and oh how beautiful it was. My Mom and Grandma we would get together to make all kinds of different cookies, sweet breads, breads, and pies. The house would smell so good. It was a feeling of something magical have happening season. People just seamed different for some reason. We would have things around the house that we normally would not have. People would stop by the we have not seen in some time and even people would come from out of town and visit.
We will some more next time and more good site to go to also. Have a wonderful day. Happy crafting everyone.

Emma’s making her Reindeer

If you have not met yet, this is my grand daughter Emma. She just turned 5 years old and she loves to do crafts with grandma. She likes to visit Miss Holly blog when she come by grandma house and Miss Holly had some reindeer on her blog so we wanted to try and make some.

How we did then is we put Emma foot on the brown card stock and drew around mostly the back of her foot. The we took some lighter tan card stock and had Emma hold both of her hands down on the paper and we drew her hands and cut then out for the horns. But we can not make just one, we have to make one for Uncle Dave, Miss Lee, Mommy, and she even wanted to send Miss Holly one but I do not have her address so Miss Holly if you read this please email me your address.

Today is a day to always Remember

 

 

For the benefit of my mostly US audience, in the UK and many other countries we buy paper poppies around the 11th to commemorate those who served and those who fell during the World Wars 1 & 2, The Vietnam War, The Civil War, The Saudi Arabia War, Iraq War and sorry if I missed any other war.  All these MEM and WOMAN need  to be HONORED AND REMEMBERED for they gave their lives for everyone of us so we can live in FREEDOM. The poppies specifically memorialize the killing fields in France and Belgium during WWI where the "lions led by donkeys" on both sides killed each other in unimaginable numbers. Day in, day out. Only the Spanish Flu of 1918 out killed the machine guns, mustard gas and barbed wire.

In that spirit, no matter what your politics, no matter where you live today, no matter what else you are doing or celebrating this November 11th, I would ask only this: Please take a moment today to remember the Fallen and their sacrifices, no matter where they fell nor for what cause.
Let us make it so that, for today at least, we will remember them.

                      “FOR THE FALLEN”
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Written by Robert Laurence Binyon
