Meljen's Ribbon Challenge

My daughter's friend Alyssa just celebrated her 18th birthday and she LOVES hippos so I made her this sign  :)  Challenge #123 at Meljen's Designs is "Tie a Ribbon".  The digi is called Hearty Hippo, colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  It's hard to see in the pics but I used Glossy Accents on the teeth, "toe nails" and the heart.  The letter stamps are from Close To My Heart - Chocolate Alphabet small.  PP by We R Memory Keepers - Peep Easter Basket.

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby girl caddy

My cousin just had a beautiful baby girl named Emily!  We are so happy for them!  She is crafty as well so I knew she would appreciate the gift I made for her  :)  Anyone who has poked around my blog will know that I had gotten some caddy's at a recycling place and I love to alter them, there are a few examples and before & after pics HERE and HERE.

 

This cute little bear is an SVG from Designs on Cloud 9  I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the dot folder.

 

I made the banner with a Close To My Heart stamp set called Pennant Alphabet.

 Finished with cellophane which I think was a bit sloppy because my 2 year old came in just as I was trying to wrap it and was getting into all of my Spellbinder dies!  So needless to say I rushed to finish it  LOL!  It could have been worse :)  At any rate it stayed together and she really liked it and that's what matters!
