More new inchies!!


The lovelies from Altered Mommy.  I looove the style of these.  Very classy.


These great ones are from Sarcastra, the texture is amazing!


Have you ever seen anything cuter then these?? They are all hand painted, and the eskimo looking girl is my favorite All from squirrelgirl


I love these too, the pimp one made me lol!!  These are from Calsters

Thank you so much all!!  My collection is looking great!

I am so excited for this!! I hope I can keep up with it!  I'm making two of these, one will be made of this color:


Belle the cat likes to help model things I make.  But this is Simply Soft, in a pretty seafoamy color.  I used this at first because I have a TON of it for some reason, though I don't think it will match anything in our house.  Oh well, one less spur of the moment Christmas gift..

And I'm making another for myself and my fiance for Christmas, that one is still a WIP for now

And yay for me finding my camera!  I was just getting ready to mount the actual inchies and my fiance's stupid puppy jumped up and destroyed the paper I was mounting them to *shakes fist*  Luckily, no inchies were harmed!









Thank you guys so much!! I love them all!!

I was going to edit my *yay I recieved  post* but the awesomeness deserves it's own post.


Here is all my lovely loot together!  Scrapbook paper, in wedding and my favorite colors.  Some chocolate trees, and hot chocolate mix, plus there were two more candy bars, that didn't make it to the photo shoot.  The stocking is so absolutly perfect!!! I adore pink, black and white together.  And it looks like there are little black tassles or something on it, but upon closer inspection:


They're little kitties!!! I love them so much!


Here I am looking uncommonly photogenic, with the AWESOME blue shawl.  It is soooooooooo soft and warm, and it stretches so I can tie it to keep it on my shoulders!!  Shawls are something that I knit and crochet for everyone else, and I'm psyched to have my own!


This is the ornament that got my fiance and I all tearry-eyed.  It's so gorgeous and it says "I'll be home for Christmas ~2007~"  This is so great because last year my looove was deployed overseas, so this is our first REAL Christmas together!!


Some yummy catnip for our three furbabies.  Since the swap began, we have gotten two more furbabies, a pregnant guinea pig and a puppy!  But the kitties feel the most special to have gotten a gift.


My kitty Jagger, bustin' in to the catnip.  She already has a stoned look on her face.


So then she knocks it over, and gets it all over our bed...


Only to eat it off of the bed.  She's so silly.

I also will post with a pic of Matt's cool WoW shirt.  He's wearing it right now, and sleeping, and he probably wouldn't be pleased to have pictures taken of him right now.

Thanks so much Megan!!  I loooooooove everything to pieces!!

[Any more advanced techniques to help me?]

 

Here is the one pair of earrings I made for my bridesmaids.  I stopped at one pair because the design is so simple, that it's making me crazy.



For each pair of earrings I have 4 swarovski cone crystals, and one onyx roundish bead.  (As you can probably tell be the picture).

And they're just sooooo boring!! Any more advanced techniques to help me?

I saw some earrings at my bead shop where there were 3 beads.  Each bead was on a seperate wire with a loop at the top and bottom, and the wire wrapped around (not wrapped around the bead, wrapped around the wire).  I gave it a try and it was not a pretty thing 

I had to sew up a couple for my sewing friends for Christmas.  Mine are kinda long hedgehogs, they're just taller I guess.





Thanks for the great idea!!

[Question #1]

I have dabbled in scrapbooking before, usually just making a page or two and framing it for someone for a gift.  So now, I'm in the process of making my first actual scrapbook!!!

Here is page one!!  The pages are 8in by 8in.  I'm going to cut all my pages tonight after posting this question



Question #1
I have this exact embelishment:



And it has stickyback, but I want to use it for the cover.  They are metal and weigh about as much as 3 quarters.  The cover is made of regular cloth cover.  Should I just stick `er on or try to remove the sticky and hot glue (or E6000?)  Any ideas?

That's the Army thing, and I want something representitive of our love too.  I might have to think on that one..

Question #2
This scrapbook is going to be of all the photos from my fiance's deployment to Iraq.   The pictures of us both, the ones I send him, and the ones he sends me.  I want it to be kinda a story thing, to have our grandkids see.  I don't really know what people would be intrested in.  I have lots and lots of love stickers and things like that.  As well as a few bits of poems and song lyrics, but is there anything else that would be intresting to the viewer?

My newest, memorial tattoo of my dog that died (in Jan)


My foot piece. The banner says "My Weakness is that I care too much"


My hello kitty artist!  I love this one


My first ink, I might get the stars turned into flowers

I love it!!  It is a bit fragile looking, like it could easily snap, so I'm only going to wear it for photoshoots.  But shrinky dinks are fun!!  It took forEVER to cut out, and I had a bit on an exacto slip, but it melted fine, and now it's not noticable.  It's made with Rough n ready (is that what it's called) and black sharpie.

It was inspired by someone on this board, I should give credit where credit is due, but I can't remember the thread  sorry

ETA: Here it is!  It was just a few posts below mine!! http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=123487.0

Oh, and Matthew is my fiance'!  I love him!

These were "markers" for a Serial Killer Trivia game I made for my "Creative Functioning" class.  People actually couldn't believe I made them!! 

Clockwise from the top: White skull, "antiqued" with brown acrylic
