Little C's Christmas Everyday Challenge - Day 5

Yea, I've been crazy busy... I skipped day 4 and created on day 5... used HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyls) to make our names on these handmade stockings (which I bought, and didn't make). If you read my blog and see your handmade stockings, I wanted to say thank you so much for your hard work!! These were found at the Double Four Tree Farm. There was a little store there, where we purchased our Christmas Trees, and in the little store was where we'd pay for the trees and they also had ornaments and other handmade items in there. Very cute store. They also served Hot Cocoa, Apple Cider n' Coffee... fun day for all of our Ohana!!! 

Here are how the stockings turned out, and my video after the pics to share with you how I did them.

My video... enjoy!!!

 

Aloha,
Jen

Personalized Sponge Bob and Patrick Tote Bag

ALOHA!!!  It's ALOHA FRIDAY, and sorry, I don't have a video for today!!!  I know, I know, I have to get working on one.  This week has been kinda crazy!!!  The blinds in bathroom #1 came crashing down, as I tried to pull on the beaded cord.  I was planning on converting all blinds in our house to curtains, anyways, so I guess this was a great way to get me motivated!  I have finished with my craft area, but other projects that were priority had to get done prior to do my video!!  Thus, a no video on this Aloha Friday!!!  Booooo!!!! 

Well, I have some excitement for ya, though!! Ali and I are planning on challenge each other and doing a CASE challenge.  We thought it would be a great way to get us motivated and stay juiced up on our creativity.  Would you like to play along???  The 1st challenge begins next Wednesday, on the 13th of February, and it'll last for a WEEK... we will have a prize for 1 winner.  Like I said, I've cleaned out my area, and have some goodies to gift away.  So we hope you will find it a fun time to join us on the challenge when comes the day!!!  :) 

Ok, on to my project... here is a personalized tote bag that I created for my gf's daughter.  She turned 9 years old, and she loves Sponge Bob!!! So I thought it would make a great gift.  I've had these totes for the longest time!!!  I put the image together using Photo Shop Elements, and then printed it REVERSED on Transfer Paper, which I found in the office department of WalMart.  Printed, then ironed on to this tote bag.  Instructions is NOT to use the iron board, but a hard surfaced..... since we have tile flooring, I used my floor.  Wood flooring or a stool would work great too, depending on the size of the image you are transferring.

Here is a video of my lil' one, his 1st time on the ZIP LINE at the birthday party, which was held at a Gymnastics warehouse... lots of crazy jumping n' flyin' FUN!!!





Thanks for blessing me with your visit today!!

Name Place Cards Order

Here is the next project that I worked on....  Place Cards for a local business here.  The owners are friends of mines, and they've asked me if I could helped them out this year with personalized place cards for their Christmas parties.  Praising God that I had the right amount of cardstock needed, and vellum to make this happen.  :)

Here's the 1st photo of my project in process...

Completed!

I'm also making Chex Mix this year... here is my 1st batch that I made, it's cinnamon flavored.  I love cinnamon, but it isn't the one I wanted to make.  LOL!!  Another batch tomorrow!! 

Have a blessed day!!
Aloha, Jen

Cy's 1st Day of School

Hey There.... yep, I'm finally posting some pics from Cy's 1st day of school. Kinda late, but better than never, right?! He went back to school on the 1st of September, and he requested tags to be made for his personal items, such as his back pack, his water bottle and his lunch bag. The character that he wanted was "Wyatt" of "Super Why". Such a fun character, and a great educational show for kids to watch n' learn how to read. Here are what the tags turned out looking like, he was so proud to have them on his things.

Don't know if you know, but I sell these personalized luggage tags!! You wouldn't believe all the adults out there that order these tags for themselves!!! It's too cute!! Although on my website, I feature only Himawari Babies images, I can put any other images on there as well... such as Hello Kitty, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, Spider Man, Super Man, Wonder Woman... and the list goes on, n' on, n' on.... check out the Personalized Luggage Tags on Little C's, and order one for you or your loved ones today!!.

Here are some pics I took of my shorty on his 1st day of school.....

Yes, and on the 1st day, he already had homework.... sigh, he's growing up so quickly!!

Have a blessed week, everyone!!! Sorry I've been MIA lately. Been really trying to get on my Little C's store, and bring it up to date... and just trying to get organized here in my home. It's kinda crazy with both kids in school now - although it is quiet, there is soooo much to do around the house. Hopefully I can finish up and finally settle down and start creating with just having to do laundry n' dishes daily instead of always cleaning. ACK! Ok... for those of you that have emailed me and haven't heard back - I will be replying to you shortly. Especially YOU!!!

Big Hugs n' Blessings,

Easter Baskets Completed!

I made 11 Easter baskets this year. Brought out my Painty Pens, personalized each one, and filled them with goodies. I think I started this on Wednesday - so that explains why I haven't been posting on here lately.

I've added personalization here....

and after wrapping, they ended up like this:

I made a little something for my stampin' sisters too:

Threw in some goodies and some American Craft Ribbons!!!

I'm off to finish the index for my Dessert Swap - I received EVERYONE's swap already, it's time to give it back! Will be posting on here about those later. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!
