Now I know I've been absent for some time now due to a move and a new school year etc, but as you can see, I have returned... First of all I think it's important that I introduce you to the newest inhabitants of our apartment. I give you: Gizmo and Jynx...
Little Gizmo...
And the fabulous Jynx...
Sharing strange dreams while sleeping in the bathroom...
or a couch pillow (please don't mind the mess)...
Or my lap (please don't mind the way I look)...
Now, besides having adopted two adorable little kittens, I have been busy as well. I had to attend a baby shower and a wedding, hence new creative pressies. For the baby shower of little Lex I decided to try my painting capabilities and although it still needs a lot of work, I think the end result was ok.
Step 1: paint the background
Step 2: Add some vertical lines and some dots to emphasise the name
Step 3: Paint the name in the middle et voilà...
The end result
Not perfect, but I kind of like it...
So we come to the wedding present. A few months ago I was pinning away on pinterest and I stumbled across the cutest wedding present...
So when we got the invitation, I decided to go digging and asking whether anyone knew their first dance. Unfortunately, no one did and we ended up calling the happy couple telling them that we need it for a present. Luckily the new misses didn't hesitate to give us the title: Thank you for loving my... And on we went. I went to a craft store to buy some thicker off-white and red paper, searched the internet for the lyrics, printed the lyrics on a page, put their initials on the red paper and we were ready to begin.
After I had printed all that I used my heart-shaped embossing tool to cut out their initials in little hearts and then I drew a tree onto the page with the lyrics.
And then we started cutting...
The cut-out tree
The next task was to place everything onto the paper and then mod podge it down...
And I must say that I really like the end result...
Love,
Crazy Crafter
