I made a bigger mess in the craft room.
I was a busy little bee, though.
I made a fun card for Grammy's 60th Birthday. We ran our of colored ink in the printer and have not replaced it yet. So I printed the picture in black and white and colored it with colored pencils. I hand-stitched the accent papers and machine sewed the background paper. My favorite part is the party hat and pom pom. The hat has a little star shaped sequin and bead on a flower punch.
There is a glare on the picture here because of where I took the shot. But you can still see what it is. I was trying to take just one good shot of Lylah. She would not hold still or cooperate so I got a series of out takes instead. When taken together, the group of bad shots are pretty fun. I sandwiched them between pieces of glass in a floating frame and used pieces of a vintage game and measuring tape to add interest and a title. The last picture is what she calls her "monster face."
I also made 6 hair clips for Lylah. I got really bad pictures of them so I will have to try again and post those on another day.
Lylah was a little busy too. She made her first sef portrait.
It has eyes, nose, forehead, mouth, ears, and legs. I was impressed. She wrote it on my babtsitter memo pad--in case you are wondering what the writing in the back ground is.
Not bad for the week. I did SOMETHING every day of the week this week. Yeah! That feels good. Feels like what I should be doing. Ahhhhhh
I love all the crafts! I think I like the picture better in b/w with your coloring on it. It adds something more vintagy to it in my opinion. I love the stitching on cards. I know Mother will love it.
ReplyDeleteThe smile pictures are too cute. We rarely get a smile these days, I am lucky to get her looking at the camera instead of trying to see herself IN the camera. I like all the stuff you added to the picture though to give it interest.
Her picture is too cute! Very impressive, indeed.
Yes I did love it--the card has a place of honor on my dresser by my bed--so ilook at it evertynight (or morning--I work nights) and say Good night my sweet Lylah.--The pictures of her are too cute and ofcourse I cried when i saw them all--I mainly cried because you did all this for me with love---it mweans so much to me to have things you make for me---makes me think of when you were a little girl making things for me at school----I love them all--still hvae many many of those things that say--"I love my mommy so much" that means the most---I love my Jenny-girl so much too!!!
