For the time being, I will still keep this blog up so you can view all of the archives, have links to my shops and grab the Free Printables. I hope you come on over and follow because I still have lots of Etsy/Crafty/Printable stuff to share.</p> <p>Thanks for following!</p> Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04772731679678660101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849985300651034637.post-71423616165857848752012-06-05T20:31:00.001-05:002012-06-05T20:31:52.145-05:00{Real Parties: Super Mario}<p>Remember this invitation that I blogged about a week or so ago? <br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-QifROZR0brU/T86ytcOa5XI/AAAAAAAADp8/fLkeQDndeHU/s1600-h/Super-Mario-Invite%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Super-Mario-Invite" border="0" alt="Super-Mario-Invite" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BsgL_oBg6BI/T86yt9Z6GDI/AAAAAAAADqE/sTB3DGu6sqg/Super-Mario-Invite_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="435" /></a></p> <p>Well, the party was this past weekend.

So, when someone asks me to design something from scratch, I always immediately say ‘YES!’</p> <p>Here are a couple of customs I’ve done…</p> <p>This first one is a birthday invitation for my niece. She is obsessed with Super Mario right now so my sister requested a ‘Girly’ looking Super Mario invitation. I have to say, I struggled a little with this one…how do you make Mario girly?? I am pretty happy with the final product though. <br /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-seCvwGP2kXs/T70HraggLEI/AAAAAAAADjA/P3PD5lCHjYE/s1600-h/Super-Mario-Invite%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Super-Mario-Invite" border="0" alt="Super-Mario-Invite" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-eUbw5Pe7KqE/T70HsES8S5I/AAAAAAAADjI/GNqfCqvB9DY/Super-Mario-Invite_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="435" /></a></p> <p>I was recently asked to design some party circles for a Sprinkle. I had never heard of a Sprinkle before (it’s basically a baby shower for someone who already has children) but was ready to dig in and design these favor tags.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-BrKkXIYi5tE/T70HsqF-FXI/AAAAAAAADjQ/KfvtegydCgA/s1600-h/Sprinkles-Party-Circles%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Sprinkles-Party-Circles" border="0" alt="Sprinkles-Party-Circles" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-22VNC1PtKO0/T70Hs0sVY2I/AAAAAAAADjY/koxZxonCfvY/Sprinkles-Party-Circles_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="400" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>I have some new items in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/embellishology" target="_blank">shop</a>. If you didn’t already know, I can design just about any party printable you need even if it’s not yet in the shop.

Anyone still out there?</p> <p>Honestly, I can’t believe I still have followers. I’ve been such a slacker on this blog. Since the girls were born I haven’t had much time to be creative. If you read my last post, you saw that I’ve been pinning a bunch of stuff that I’d like to do but just haven’t had the time.</p> <p>I did, however, make a spring/Easter wreath that was Pinspired by <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/8866530486842608/" target="_blank">THIS</a> pin. <br /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-GusW7GdTi6A/T70CEbjkEJI/AAAAAAAADic/iU26qahQ8XI/s1600-h/Spring-Wreath%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Spring-Wreath" border="0" alt="Spring-Wreath" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7zm1MwHx9n0/T70CE65kuHI/AAAAAAAADik/sQ96GOzLwFk/Spring-Wreath_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="600" height="398" /></a></p> <p>Materials I bought: <br />Styrofoam wreath <br />Lime green “fur” (found in the yarn section) <br />Colored straight pins</p> <p>Materials I already had: <br />Prima paper flowers <br />Embroidery floss (twine would also be very cute!) <br />Welcome feet printable banner (You can get this <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/view/?smlhm9osc65dl5d" target="_blank">HERE</a>)</p> <p>To assemble:</p> <ul> <li>Wrap fur around wreath until it is completely covered. You may have to go around twice to fill in gaps</li> <li>Place flowers randomly around wreath and attach with colored straight pins</li> <li>Cut out flags for banner, run them through a sticker maker and attach to floss or twine (you can also use glue).</li> <li>Position banner across wreath and attach to wreath by tying them onto pins behind flowers (I think I might had tied a double not in the floss and then just stuck the pin through the knot).</li> <li>Attach colorful ribbon for hanging.</li> </ul> <p>I’m not very good with instructions…I often just make things up as I go, so if you have any questions, feel free to email me.</p> <p>Happy Crafting! <br /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eWWkK-iKtJg/T70CFYFIj3I/AAAAAAAADis/jF2PhpyHVfA/s1600-h/Grey%252526Pink%252520Signature%25255B6%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Grey&Pink Signature" border="0" alt="Grey&Pink Signature" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-783IozMmoaM/T70CFt-jFUI/AAAAAAAADi0/DDpFgG0xmHU/Grey%252526Pink%252520Signature_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="240" height="50" /></a></p> Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04772731679678660101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849985300651034637.post-49586651298933223602012-03-29T08:20:00.001-05:002012-03-29T08:20:01.989-05:00{Pinterested}<p>I don’t have much time to be crafty these days but I am great at pinning projects that I hope to someday work on. </p> <p>If I ever get to scrapbook again, I’d definitely scraplift this layout by Audrey.

I’ve been thinking about what I can do to keep this little blog going. I seem to have trouble coming up with content. Once I get my my stock of printables built up, I might try to stage some parties to share.</p> <p>I am slowly switching over the physical items I previously sold over at {embellish*ology} to printables so if you are a scrapbooker, there will be embellishments you can print yourself! How cool is that?!</p> <p>Starting this month, I am going to have one freebie each month. They will all be printable freebies and will somehow represent the month whether it be a holiday or season. With this monthly freebie, I’m hoping to share with you, my lovely readers, what I can do shall you decide that you would like to order a custom design.</p> <p>Since this month is for the Luck of the Irish, the freebie is this fun St. Patrick’s Day photo prop set. If you decide to use this, please share your pictures! Who knows, you might even become famous by being on the blog (with permission, of course)!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-kQWJSPSRioQ/T1WeV6Dk9zI/AAAAAAAACzw/An9AuY9TrFQ/s1600-h/St-Pattys-Freebie%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="St-Pattys-Freebie" border="0" alt="St-Pattys-Freebie" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-_qp7-cJRS8U/T1WeWcKRWMI/AAAAAAAACz4/gfAzlWoTZcg/St-Pattys-Freebie_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="502" height="390" /></a></p> <p>Download the freebie <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?151rd5tk5unw8x9" target="_blank">HERE</a>.

I love working on customs. They really get my creative brain going. <br />
This order is a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme for a set of boy/girl twins. The request was for it to be a little more fancy than cutesy so this is what I came up with.<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sgquFHCw1h4/T02xD4NMA1I/AAAAAAAACzA/3nWIdRkZX1o/s1600-h/MMCH-Web-Image%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="MMCH-Web-Image" border="0" height="502" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-alvy-hnM4NA/T02xENFnmmI/AAAAAAAACzI/zVlqVnmvRDs/MMCH-Web-Image_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="MMCH-Web-Image" width="502" /></a><br />
I love how Mickey & Minnie kind of represent the twins since they are boy/girl twins. And of course, you have to have the MMCH sayings like, “Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog!” and “Oh Toodles?” (in which I did a play on words and spelled it with the word ‘Two’ in it).<br />
I currently still have some availability for custom orders so if you have a party or event coming up and you would like to have some printables designed, just let me know!<br />

Can I ask a favor? If you’re still reading this blog, can you leave me a comment? All you have to do is say ‘Hi'!’ I’m only asking this because I have been debating on whether or not to combine my blogs or if I should keep them separate. </p> <p>I’ve finally started adding more printables to the <a href="http://www.ascrappydesign.etsy.com/" target="_blank">shop</a>. I did a custom for a good friend of mine and I liked it so much I thought I’d put it in the shop. It’s a good neutral theme of Aqua, Red, Chevron and Polka Dots that can be used for any type of event/party. Each component is currently listed separately. I can also add/design any components you would need for your party/event.</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/92386090/chevron-polka-dots-printable-party" target="_blank"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Party-Circles-Web" border="0" alt="Party-Circles-Web" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-fuw8h7TDyoM/Tzn07o8odoI/AAAAAAAACsY/FO71I7CSGwY/Party-Circles-Web%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="502" height="390" /></a></p> <p>The banner can be changed to wording of your choice (not to exceed 15 characters). <br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/92386816/chevron-polka-dots-printable-banner" target="_blank"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Banner-Web" border="0" alt="Banner-Web" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-gMKSPWTuSvk/Tzn09O4CA4I/AAAAAAAACsg/Xts86b8FsY8/Banner-Web%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="502" height="502" /></a></p> <p>Text can be added to the Food Labels/Place Cards for a small additional fee. <br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/92386510/chevron-polka-dots-printable-food?ref=v1_other_2" target="_blank"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Food-Labels-Web" border="0" alt="Food-Labels-Web" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-RH0Mq_iqP4Y/Tzn09t59W4I/AAAAAAAACso/_sTgKdMXYwI/Food-Labels-Web%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="502" height="647" /></a></p> <p>I’m constantly trying to work on new things and hope to eventually add some of the embellishments I previously sold in digital format.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-d597ydD8xT4/Tzn0-2nZqnI/AAAAAAAACsw/M24U7n_jpsU/s1600-h/Signature%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Signature" border="0" alt="Signature" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Iol1RKT1s_U/Tzn0_Xu_4sI/AAAAAAAACs4/OAE19Gs9O7s/Signature_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="175" height="50" /></a></p> Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04772731679678660101noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849985300651034637.post-13841917658855290982012-01-12T07:18:00.000-06:002012-01-12T07:18:00.674-06:00{Monster Mash}<p>I’ve had some design orders come in the last couple of days and I’m very excited about them and can’t wait to get started on them!

My two precious little girls have just kept me so busy that I have trouble keeping up with 3 blogs and 2 Etsy shops!</p> <p>Anyway, after much consideration, I have decided to transition {embellish*ology} to printable items such as invitations, announcements, cupcake toppers, etc. Don’t worry though, I will also have some of my current items as printables too! While I am in this transition phase, to keep my creative juices flowing, I am currently taking custom design orders. </p> <p>This month I have done a couple of Christmas themed orders…</p> <p>This is a canning jar label that I designed for a customer who was using them on jars of home made salsa.

Haven’t heard from anyone who’s tried any of my recipes so if you have, speak up! I’d love to hear what you thought. :)</p> <p>2-3 Chicken Breasts, cubed or cut into strips <br />4 Tbsp Liquid Smoke <br />Green Bell Pepper, sliced <br />Red Bell Pepper, sliced <br />Med. Onion, sliced <br />1-2 Tbsp Butter <br />2 Tbsp Olive Oil</p> <p>Put chicken in a Ziploc back with Liquid Smoke, set aside.</p> <p>While chicken is marinating, heat wok or skillet with butter on med-high and sauté onions & peppers. Remove onions and peppers from skillet.  Add olive oil and chicken to skillet (carefully, since skillet will be hot). Brown chicken on both sides, about 5-7 minutes.</p> <p>Add onions & peppers to skillet, mix with chicken then cover. Continue cooking on low heat until chicken is cooked through (about 10 minutes).</p> <p>Serve with all the fixins!</p> <p>YUMMYLICIOUS!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_pWMMR9T0HG8/TLejqqONe4I/AAAAAAAABq0/gZttDsALzI4/s1600-h/Signature%5B3%5D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Signature" border="0" alt="Signature" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_pWMMR9T0HG8/TLejrPGr7gI/AAAAAAAABq4/V7FBIJvWv1s/Signature_thumb%5B1%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="175" height="50" /></a></p> Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04772731679678660101noreply@blogger.com2
