my mcdonalds hello kitty collection up close

i am a die hard fan of hello kitty...

made me collect these kiddie meals at mcdo with a hello kitty character inside each apple toy.

so what do i do with these?

i really don't know..

that's the essence of why we collect things. we really do not know what to do with them.

land vs. water animals tic-tac-toe board game

our mid-month tutorial at artzdescrap ... making a tic-tac-toe board.

for my take, inspired by my kiddos lesson in school about categorizing animals as to their habitat, i decided to make a board game using land and water animals as tokens.

land vs. water animals uses the october afternoon papers, cute k and co chipboards, golden glass bead gel, fiskars scallop puncher as the mainstay.


see how cute the k and co. animal chipboards are! and they stand on glass bead gel too! its just a matter of tactile patience to be able to create a standing ovation for the chipboards.

Golden glass bead gel are great for accenting any flat embellishments.

just look at them!

ENJOY THE GAME!

for tutorial details, you can visit artzdescrap. this month we are featuring Catherine Bautista as our inspirational scrapper.

dancing girl

another DT work for visual creations featuring the My Mind's Eye line: Oh la la.

i used some paper twirling technique and attached words to enhance the layout's overall look.

i also added gentle strokes of gold paint to the title ( dancing girl ) to counteract the monotony of black.

customized boxes

recently, i have been doing boxes for giveaways, well, not in the sense of making business out of it but for other people . oh well...

anyway, thanks to splitcoaststampers for the great tutorials! i had lots of fun doing their fun samples but have not had the time to upload any of my works yet.

another wonder tool here is the Mini Scor-it which came so handy in folding & creasing the cardstocks!!!

as of today, none of these are on hand anymore... gave it all away to teachers of my kids during teacher's day. hope they appreciate it.

fun times

designing with the october afternoon line of papers for visual creations...

an early advent calendar

i made an early advent calendar for Visual Creations featuring the october afternoon ducks in a row line. too early for christmas i guess lol but you can also use it for your daily needs like inserting notes or reminders-- that is, for just 25 days in a month.

i made 25 little boxes using the mini scor-it and cardstocks. a little feat in making these boxes but i enjoyed every bit of the time scoring, adhering and folding.

see the little duckling with its crown as a marker.

an unusual advent calendar for the early christmas wishers!!!

handmade boxes and american craft thickers.

altered metal chewing gum tin

for october at artzdescrap, the crew will alter any metal tin with a halloween theme. for my take, i used a Wriggly's chewing gum metal tin, painted with halloween colors and used grungeboard for that distressed effect.
