Hey There Cookie (For Embellish-Online)

Welcome to my "Pick of the Crop" blop hop project, for Embellish-Online! I am so excited to participate this month with the AMAZINGLY talented design team @ Embellish!

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing better than yummy veggies!! At this Farmer's Market however, the vendors are offering up some dynamite designer papers, spectacular stamps, beautiful bunches of flowers, rockin' ribbons and just about every embellishment you could ever want! Ooh! And don't forget some yummy Lemonade, Basic Grey has a new recipe and its quite refreshing!!! Okay, I lied, scrapbook/stamping stuff might actually be better than fresh veggies. *grins*

A little gift package has been put together by the various vendors which will be awarded to one lucky person! Nope, its not tomatoes, corn or carrots! (*phews*) It's a special prize of American Crafts, May Arts Ribbon (ooooh, love this) and Thickers (ahhh, need these)! In order to get in the drawing for that special gift package there is just one little twist:

Hey Diddle, Diddle...You have to Solve a Riddle
Hop like a Frog.....To each and every blog
Then you can Park It...At the Farmer's Market
Put your answer in your post....And the Winner we will toast

The Riddle: What is black, sings at night, the latest rage and ends up glued to a page??

Here is my project! I had so much fun creating it! When I thought about farmers markets, I thought of all the delicious fruit and then I raided my fridge and came across this strawberry container (okay, so it had a few berries left in it, but I took care of them all in the name of this hop). I decided it would be perfect to hold something, but what?

Then I saw this adorable cut apart element card that came from the Cosmo Cricket Crafting Kit (Early Bird) and this idea was born! Cookies are always yummy and fun! Especially oatmeal chocolate chip ones! (They would be in there now but I was out of eggs yesterday and never made it to the store, maybe today)? I made this for a friend for her birthday! I hope she likes it! The flowers in the paper were punched out using my nesties and popped up for dimension.

Supplies: {Early Bird} Crafting Kit (Cosmo Cricket), Brown Vintage Buttons (Papertrey Ink), Candy Dots - brown (Pebbles Inc.), Dark Chocolate 5/8 Swiss Dot Satin ribbon (Papertrey Ink), Nestabilities Scalloped and Plain Circles (Spellbinders), sewing machine (Singer), white thread (Sulky)

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

A good mail day

Yesterday was an awesome mail day! I got my swaps from Jody (texasjodylynn). Let me explain, each month, Jody and I swap three things -- cards, 3D objects (usually), and sometimes goodies we find that we think the other person might like. We have done this for about 6 months I think. Well yesterday I got the most amazing Jody package. Here are a few pictures of the stuff inside. The chocolate box was made with designer paper and said "You make life sweet" on top and inside there were some yummy dove chocolates. Seriously, dark chocolate is the BEST! Next I found this most gorgeous purse with some treasures inside it. Some gems and some princess brads, and a harry potter bookmark. The purse itself is amazing. I asked Jody how she did it and she said with chalk and craft inks and lots of embossing powder. It just shines. It is just so amazing. She put in so many brads and she said she even had to use a drill on it. Amazing! I avoid scary tools like drills wher...
