Papercraft Business March Challenge - Animals

I am so excited to post my second Papercraft Business Challenge! The challenge theme for March was animals 🐎. In the simple 30-min layout, I wrote about our magical multi-farm venture last October 🎃 using 1Canoe2 and Echo Park's Down on the Farm.

February Papercraft Business Challenge: Love!

I am so excited to post my very first Papercraft Business Challenge! The theme for February was love, or hearts, so naturally I did both, writing about our baby girl and how much joy she brings to our lives.

I don't usually dig pink, but I had just gotten in my American Crafts Head in the Clouds by Shimelle. So I painted my background, handstitched the empty space's outline, and fussy cut these beautiful roses. See if you can pop over to the Papercraft Business Challenge Blog, and join us for the fun!

Happy first day of December!

What a better way to begin this CHILLY week in Seattle, than to document our nice and warm Tombstone, Arizona trip. I love how the embroidery floss reminds me of saddle stitching!

St. Patricks Day mani

It's still kinda early, and this mani isn't that fancy, so if I have time I might go back and do something...well, less boring. The reason why I posted this pretty much was because of Sinful Colors' "Call You Later." If you can, look up some swatches online of this beautiful micro lime  with larger emerald glitter polish! Here I have it on my index and middle finger, on top of LA Colors' "Current." :) May the luck of the Irish be with ya!

Mermaid Nails!

I had recently seen pictures online about nail art involving overlapping dots, starting from one end of the nail to the other.

It sounded so easy...and it was! It just took about 86,310,664 hours :/ It was fun and got lots of compliments though! Next time I would definitely not use a fast drying polish... I had to keep applying more and more to the paper I was using for my dots. Maybe next time I'll use a orange and brown palette for the upcoming fall season!

Polish used:
Dots- Sinful Colors "Mint Apple", LA Colors "Green Tea", Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Lickety Split Lime", Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Mint Sprint".

Thumb and pinky- NYX "Enchanted Forest"

Attempted tape mani, without tape :/

So I was literally sitting in my car, bored, when I decided to attempt a tape mani.... But I had no tape. So unfortunately, this is the best that could come out of it. Somehow I still really like it. Probably because of the glitter. If there was a piece of poo covered in glitter I'd probably like it too. :)

Used: Sinful Colors "Mint Apple", China Glaze "Marry a Millionaire", Wet n Wild Complete Manicure in "tba" (lol I forgot)

Masquerade!

My friend Tiffany had a masquerade themed party for her birthday last year and never got around to posting the pictures of the two masks I had made for my friend Tabby and I. For one I attempted to make a light to dark glitter gradient with a pearl border and a respective feather gradient above the eyes, and for the other, I just painted, swirled a random design with glitter glue, and applied some stars under the eyes and a sequin border. The swirls were still wet when I took the pictures, but became completely flat after it was dry. :) It was fun, especially the playing with glitter part. Enjoy!














And here's us with Tiffany's GIANT gorgeous mask (no, she didn't make it, she purchased it lol)
