Day 87: Halloween Fabrics and Patterns

In honor of Halloween, 

here are some Halloween Patterns you can print onto

fabric to make some mini Halloween projects

Again the squares are great for pillows, napkins, towels

Day 86: Strawberry Shortcake

I started off today thinking about paper dolls 

As I do about every day, I jump on the google and start searching

I of course find a few I really love, but they all of a sudden there's

Strawberry Shortcake!

So I decide to make some Strawberry Shortcake paperdoll's for my little girl's room in one of my houses, not a box set or a book of them, just some loose sheets. 

But then I think more about Strawberry shortcake and I think wouldn't it be cute to maybe wrap a gift, 

so I start working on making some patterns. 

Well this is what I ended up with

Could be used for fabric, or whatever....

Day 85: Mexican Inspired

I love guacamole! 

Print this guacamole mix printie.....

then using polymer clay you can make tortilla chips, 

which I've done

but where are the pictures?

Your guess is as good as mine. 

I know I took some! But since I'm sitting in a hotel in Montreal, Canada and the chips are in my 

studio in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia...I'm NOT going to run home to take a new one.

So being Mexican inspired I will share some quesadilla's that I know I've shared before, 

but is fitting with this printie :)

Day 84: Cheezez

Have a cheeze cracker craving?

How about trying Cheez ez's :) 

Day 83: Holiday Gift Boxes

Since I'm on a holiday kick lately, I thought I would make some holiday boxes.

You can make these super easy and in any size.  

Here's how I did these:

1) I google searched Holiday gift box free printable (in images)

2) I found one I liked, then clicked the link for the website

(I did this as the website has many to choose from)

3) I moved the image for the printable onto my desktop 

(as I'm not going to use it full size, so I can't just click "print")

*If you just want the 1 from google you don't need to go to the website

4) I open a new page in my photoshop 

5) drag the image onto the page 

6) size to whatever I want, these boxes I made rather small, maybe for small gifts

7) Repeat for each additional box

8) Save and print

As a reminder, please only use anything on my blog for your personal use

Day 82: Only 60 Mini'ing days until Christmas

Is 'Mini'ing' a word?

Well since I'm still in "stock up on patterns and fabrics to print" phase, I thought I'd spend some time making some Christmas and/or holiday prints to have on hand just in case I ever get a bug up my mini tush to make a holiday scene/room box or house.

Some of the problems with making these fabric sheets without any projects in mind is that A) It's impossible to know how much to make for each pattern, usually I make what I need so I save ink and fabric sheet space...2) Usually I choose patterns based on the project so who knows if these will work for anything I may make in the future.....3) Sizing the patterns without a project in mind is difficult, usually when I'm working on something in particular I will adjust the pattern size based on what the fabric is being used for.... and 4) It's difficult to know when to stop making them...I have nothing but time on my hands right now, so based on how long on average it takes me to make each page (which BTW is 2 or 3 pages per hour)...I could make A LOT this week :) 

Well with no further ado...here are some Holiday fabric sheets

Wouldn't the smaller circles be great holiday coasters?

Merry Early Christmas :)
