ELLA DRANK THE MILK

hello all,

today i am sharing the cutest svg frog. i put her on the front of a milk carton.

i had made something similar in the past and since halloween is around the corner, can you believe it? so here it is.

anyhow,

here is 

-ELLA-

i cut her around 2-1/2" wide and 2-1/4" tall.

look at those eyelashes. i am in love with them.

 i wish i had eyelashes like that. lol.

-this digi playground svg comes in different formats for different electronic die cutters but you do not even need a die cutter to make ella. she also comes in a printable format you can cut then with your scissors. yeap! isn't great?

the milk carton is from a cricut cart.

and the paper is an oldie fav of mine. i think is from my mind's eye.

the eyes are on two sides of the container.

and this is the top done with some scraps from my stash.

i think this is a cute project for your halloween party, if you celebrate halloween, that is. if not, the frog is cute enough for any paper crafting project.

 have fun with ella, the frog who drank the milk for halloween, lol

excuse the silliness, but i really love that frog.

see you next time...

oh...ella has been linked to the digiplayground store. just click on her pic or name.

thanks a bunch for stopping by!

KISS JAR---altered pantry jar

hello all,

we got some light snow in since yesterday. my backyard looks like like a winter wonderland. i love when is fresh snow on the tree branches.

i  had time to made this jar i had in my pantry waiting for a nice occasion. i bet you already notice i like to alter items and i also like to repurpose.

Kiss Jar

---sorry about these pictures. my computer is sick. (i dropped an iris case on the keyboard and i think it damaged the hard drive. i am using my husband's but it does not have the same photo editing program i have in mine. when i get tim,e i will see if i can download it for free--i like that program better than this one).
---the frog is from create a critter, page #24---image #1 on the overlay.---

 the red paper, hearts and one of the borders are from k&co. the scalloped brown border is from crate paper.

this super cute necklace was made with a beautiful ribbon a blogger sister gave me a while ago. the chrome flower is a piece of jewelry. her nails, heart, eyes and lips were accented with glossy accents.

and i draw some eyelashes for winking..lol.

different strands of ribbon for the jar neck with a heart charm attached to them.
i finished my jar with hershey kisses---my favorite chocolate--and i have tried many, hehe.

note: 

my husband's b-day was on thursday. i made a special dinner for him. i went to the fish market i got some whole red snapper to bake. i also made mashed potatoes mixed with sauteed onions and a side of grilled asparagus---YUMMY!---what a delicious meal. i also got some clams. we ate those on friday. this jar was for him too---along with his birthday gifts and, of course, we are sharing the candy---wink!

take care for now and have a great weekend!

---still loving you all---

WITCHY--- A BITTEN BY THE BUG CHALLENGE

HELLO

i have a new BLOG BUTTON not made by me this time, lol. i had chris from http://chatterscene-mom.blogspot.com/p/custom-blog-info.html made it for me. hopefully, you pay her a visit and see how beautiful her work is and how beautiful she can make your blog for a super very reasonable price. i did not want a blog makeover because i like to change things around a lot, but i did want a button that i can always use and that you can grab if you want to.

anyhow, this week at the Bitten by the Bug, we are working with a frog from create a critter, page #24.

let's play along!

this is my project using the cute froggie.

since the witches have already getting ready for their day, i wanted to make my frog fit for the occasion.

Witchy
3.5" x 6"
you might ask what kind of envelopes i use for these sizes...well, with the gypsy, i can maneuver the envelopes in some cartridges and customize them for my cards. ;D

purple is always so hard for me to photograph well, :(
the witchy epoxy circle just added the perfect touch for the spot and, gave me a name for the card. on the back, i just hot glued a piece of black dyed bias ribbon.
the spider web on the left is from october 31st, image #8 on the overlay and,
flipped to fit on the left side of my card. some of the web is behind the background paper.

this cardstock i used for the frog it was a plain cardstock which i stamped with purple ink to give it some substance. i am trying to play more with my stamps and this is a pretty example of what you can do with stamping.
the green bat on her necklace is the negative of a paper punch, i covered it with glossy accents for a bit more of bling.

the fancy right edge border is another paper punch from fiskars, and the orange and black beads i purchased on clearance last year after halloween for this halloween...thrifty/frugal/cheap/smart???...
whatever you want to call me, lol

this is the final card. i just love it so much and i hope you do too and give you a push to participate in this week challenge at Bitten by the Bug.

SWEET MILK AND A ROBOT ANYONE?....HALLOWEEN MILK CARTON AND ROBOT

Hello dear friends, followers and visitors.

I am Agnes aka flowerdisco 

 from 

http://flowerdiscosscraphut.blogspot.com/

It is my turn again here at Pam's

http://www.thebugbytes.com/

 I am one of her zillion designers, lol.

 BUT, the more the merrier, right? 

and I want to show you how I made my  

Milk Carton

as best as I can explain but... I can't explain it :(  LMBO 

and I am sending you to 

Splitcoaststampers 

 where you will find the instructions and pictures for the Milk carton and much more.

If you are not familiar with the site you will be glad I sent you there. :) 

I also made a robot of course, because ROBOTZ is the cart of the month at Pammy's.

I will still show a collage of some of the steps it took me to make it and I know after you see it you won't be mad at me, and you will be happy I did not try to explain all these measurements, lol. 

This is the finished project in case you do not want to bother with the instructions.

My Milk Carton and the Robot

This is the robot from page 68 cut at 
2.30 inch wide x 2.75 inch high. I had to play with my Gypsy to get him skinnier to fit in this 2.5 x 3" rectangle panel.

This is another panel where I used one of my G-Studio clear stamps and added a ribbon this ribbon has embroidered on some little spiders. The Trick or Treat tag is from a K&CO Halloween die cuts pack and I attached it with an eyelet and some silvery twine.

I want to point out that I cut every single rectangle with my Fiskars trimmer and each rectangle was inked, and faux stitched. The orange paper was also stamped with with another set of G-Studios (stars) clear stamps and the white lines from the spider web in the background were glittered with a glitter pen.

(I apologize for this blurry photo)

The "gone Haunting" sign is also from the same K&CO Halloween die cuts. I went over all the candy corn and used the glitter pen on them. I also outlined the words and the frame with the same pen. I love that pen, can you tell? lol.

 Now, I will show you the collage I was talking about in the beginning, where I show some of the steps I followed in the manufacturing of this beauty.

(remember you can click on the photos for a bigger view)

 

 The robot was  popped up and so was the crown, I also used stickles on the feet, elbows and crown. Some googly eyes were added to the face. 

Isn't he cute? 

Nah!

He is adorable!

 Here is my Gypsy where I tweaked my robot and welded the crown to the shadows.

I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did making it.  
It is beautiful-beautiful-beautiful in real life. 
You have to try this project some time.
 

I will put some goodies inside and give it to my son for Halloween.

The paper used was a gift from my friend Valerie from http://www.craftygolucky.blogspot.com/. She sent me a K&CO Halloween stack called "Halloween" from Tim Coffey.

Please, if you have any questions, DO NOT HESITATE, to contact me. You will find me at http://flowerdiscosscraphut.blogspot.com/

Thanks to Pam again for giving the opportunity to showcase my work in her blog. It is my pleasure and honor to be a Gyptian designer.

Love you all!

Hello again.

 I was working on my Wild Card for tomorrow and

This is challenge #12 ans it's called

Critter-licious
BEFORE

 This is a post-it holder cut at 3 x 6.75 inches, scored at 3-1/8 and 3-5/8 inches.

I used Score Tape to secure the post-its to it since they will be gifts.

The base is chipboard from ACM and the patterned cardstock from DCWV Songbird Collection.

 The Frog is from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge and cut at 2.5 inches on American Crafts cardstock.

Added pop dots for dimension and a little jewel for bling.
