Random Goodies

This painting took a long time to finally figure out what I wanted to do. It started out as one thing, but ended as this. 

Matches my bedding :)

Chocolate covered frozen bananas. Oh my goodness, these are delicious! They taste like chocolate banana flavored icecream. Must try!

Birthday Cards

More Birthday cards. Mothers day, my dad's birthday, and my step dads birthday are all within two weeks of each other.

Put this at the back of a birthday card :

Made this at the beach, and sent it to my mom for mothers day, she kept it as her phone background for so long.. haha not the most attractive thing, but she loved the thought.

Melted heart

My little brother and I wanted to be crafty, so we got some inspiration from pinterest as usual, and created a melted crayon.... "master piece?"

Materials: Crayons, White Canvas, Blow Dryer, hot glue gun.

Step 1: Remove all paper from crayons

 Step 2: Break Crayons into smaller pieces
 Step 3: Use hot glue gun to glue crayons on canvas in a design that you desire.

Step 4: Get your blow dryer ready! Blow dry the crayons in the direction you want them to melt in.

It takes a little while for the crayons to start melting. Keep in mind that you can always change the direction of "melt"

We ended up giving it to my sister for christmas, she was kind enough to hang it up in her apartment :)

Get Well Soon Card

My friend kevin had knee surgery, a bunch of us made cards for him and surprised him at yogurtland :)
I found this idea on pinterest.

Materials: Mod Podge, and a card of your choice.
Googley eyes, Q-tips or paint brush for glue,  & bandaids

Step 1: glue eyes to bandaid
Step 2: create matted background
Step 3: Attach the background to a folded paper

My roommate and obviously both used pinterest for inspiration... We ended up with the same card :)

Happy Birthday Card

My mom's birthday was on Halloween, I sent her a birthday card. Got part of the "design" from pinterest (can't find the link now)

 Then I saw this card on pinterest http://pinterest.com/pin/169096160979227737/ Which gave me the idea for this side of the card:

Unfortunately I was unable to spend her birthday with her :) But I send my love in other ways, I always enjoy making my mom cards.

Mothers Day Card

A Mothers Day gift for my lovely mother. I created a "brochure" style card of all of the things I'd hoped to do over the summer with her. Had fun with the colors and doodles all over the card.

The pictures include: Going to the farmers market, cooking, running, and starting a compost system at home.

The little random doodles include: New summer Toms,  Watching documentaries on netflix, Cleaning out the food pantry, and hanging with our dog moose :)

I mailed the card to my mom for mothers day, and she absolutely loved it. I'd hoped that she might frame it. But I have yet to see it hanging on the wall! Oh well, it was a fun relaxing time for me! :)
