funky fourth

Gosh~ Is it almost July 4th already!!! I don’t know about you, but it seems like the time flies even faster since I’ve been doing a lot of paper/stamp/digi/hybrid crafting.

Digital scrapbook kit: Funky Fourth Page Kit by Danielle Young Designs. Isn’t this really fun funky kit? I love all the vintage patriotic colors and the fireworks!

Happy July 4th everybody!

Oh yeah… I am SO SORRY about posting PaperWorks Co. Blog Hop candy winner so late. I’ve been really sick. It’s around 90 degree here and I have a cold. Ugh! I didn’t have much energy to do anything other than entertaining the kids as much as I could.

And the winner is… Corinne! I think she won the most blog candies from me. Heehee.

Speaking of the blog candy, my friend Emily is having a birthday blog candy giveaway right now. Ribbons and Pink Cat Studio goodies!

Thank you~~~

recharged tractor

Hello everybody~! Hope all you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. My son made me breakfast for me. He told me I could sleep in till 10 am, but he woke me up at 8. Normally, I would tell him, “5 more minutes!!!”, but I couldn’t say that when he was excited to make me his favorite breakfast foods. I can’t wait to show him what I’ve made (for me)! I’m sure he won’t care for the tractor, but he’ll be happy to see the little Reese’s candy sitting on it.

Digital scrapbook kit: Recharged by Danielle Young Designs

It’s the latest kit by danielle and on sale this weekend. Cute huh~! When I saw the gadgets, I had to make the tractor.

Printed with my Bumper Car template, using .5″ chair template for the top chair, and .75″ chair for the bottom, stack (glue) the bottoms together. Reduced the length of the car body by .5″ in Photoshop.

Used a scrap piece of cardboard for the bottom to connect the chair and the engine.

I should’ve glued it together after attaching the rear wheels. I had to un-glue everything, add the wheels, then glue it back.

Lollipop sticks for the wheel connectors. Clear round stickers on the wheels.

Clear liquid glue on the “push” steering wheel.

Ta-da~!

Heeheehee. Sorry to post this so late. Here is the winner for $20 Red River Paper gift certificate. Order #79765 (Diana T.) I’ll email you shortly! Thank you and all who have purchased my templates! THANK YOU~~~

Hmmm… Where did the candy go?

blessed blooms mini album with a box

First of all, I want to thank everybody who loved The Greeting Farm Carnival projects I made and voted for my team! THANK YOU!!! We made to the final round! Yay!!! THANK YOU!

Danielle Young created another beautiful digital kit, Blessed Blooms and it is available exclusively at The Daily Scrapper! I love the flower elements in this kit, I wanted to emphasize it on my project.

I printed many many flower elements (all same size), cut, distressed, and skewered it on a florist wire (used glue to attach) to create the flower. Added a white pom pom and few beads as well.

Album is about 2.5 x 2.5.

I bent the wire and put in the album to create a different look on the album stand.

And I even made a box to slide in on the side. This mini album with a box template will be available on May 1st. I’m opening my shop! Heehee.

Thank you!

designs by me

Eeeeeeeek~~~!!! Is this for real?!!!?!!! Do you see my name on this gorgeous product preview?!!! Eeeek~!!!! I collaborated with Danielle Young and created this template. It’s a wine box. I was inspired by cocktail glass elements from Danielle’s here’s to you page kit. She is an amazing designer. Look at how she made my templates and samples look good. I almost cried when I looked at this preview. THANK YOU DANIELLE!

You can put 8 Hershey’s Nuggets inside.

I’ve been having so much fun playing with Kelleigh‘s templates, I wanted to create hybrid templates, too. THANK YOU KELLEIGH for all your support!

Gosh~ I wish I’m more articulate than this. It sucks when I can’t express my gratitude well.

Here I used digital elements from Danielle’s Here’s To You Page Kit to decorate the box.

Heehee. You can even put chocolate liqueurs inside.

Sometimes, I like to think outside the box. And, I decided to make a freight truck with the wine box template. =)

Print one template for the truck head. Score. Cut it into three pieces as shown. Left and Right pieces are 1.25″ wide.

Combining outer two pieces together. Joining at the matching sides in the middle.

Fold the sides.

Glue two trapezoid shapes together to create the L shape.

Cut out the excess. I used an x-acto knife. =)

Tuck it in the box. Oops~ Do you see the cut line on top? I accidentally cut it short and had to glue/tape it back on, heehee.

Added a folded piece of paper to make a chimney. I ended up gluing the gaps (on top) together, so it won’t look too puffy.

Flip unused panels/taps under the truck head.

Cut the sides off. Add adhesive (foam dots).

Attach the wine box on top. Add the wheels. I used the button elements from Here’s To You Kit.

You can purchase the Here’s To You Wine Box Template Set at Oscraps.com. =)

Leave a comment here, and I’ll RANDOMLY pick ONE person and giveaway my template set.
