Free Pattern: Bobble Flower Applique
Three of these sweet, puffy flowers were the appliques on my Bobblicious Baby Hat. For the flower on the far left, I used a 5 mm (H/8) hook, and for the two flowers on the right I used a 4.25mm (G/6) hook.

Be My Valentine
I always have a hard time making masculine cards. They always seem to come out so girly. LOL
This is a simple card but I did have to put my thinking cap on. hehe
I used Amour Luka on this card. He is one of the newest images in La La Land, our latest Valentine's collection. Isn't he darling?? I colored him with Copic. Papers are by Stampin' Up.
I rarely finish the inside of my cards but I did on this one. :) Sentiment is by Hero Arts.
Well, tomorrow I will be at CHA. If you are going to be there as well, please be sure to stop by our booth and say hi! We are going to be at the New Exhibitor Section, Booth #4607. See you all then! Have a wonderful Friday, everyone!

Hey everyone, Jana here! Sugar and Spice Marci is just adorable...I think she's my favorite Marci right now! Today I finally put some color on her - and I like it!
I pulled the color from this fun cupcake paper I had in my stash. The layout is this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch from Karen Giron...I just added a buttony bow to complete it!
Now, if you're headed to L.A. to CHA, don't forget to swing by booth # 4607 and give a big hi to my peeps down there.

Recent Makes
In the last couple of months, I've made some things from others' patterns that I wanted to show off. :)
For myself, I made a hat, since we spent Christmas in the cold Northeast. I used the Deeply Textured Hat pattern from The Laughing Willow. I used Full O' Sheep wool, which is kinda itchy, but I love the clean look of the texture. And it's very warm. :) I also made one for my sister, not pictured, but on hers I crab-stitched around the last row, which was a nice finishing touch!
Most recently, I made these Mitten Time mittens from Crochet Soiree for my sister. (Crochet Soiree link was broken (they took the pattern off the site) so I removed it. I can't host the pattern on my site, but I can share it with you directly. If you want it, email me and I will send the PDF to you. allicraftsblog AT gmail DOT com) My favorite parts of this pattern - though it is worked in rounds, you turn on every round, which creates a more detailed texture than a pattern worked continuously in rounds. And, of course, the bobbles! It's hard to find cute crocheted mittens, but I think these hit the mark. I used an alpaca wool from a LYS near where my parents live. (They turned out far from perfect! Not too bad for my first pair, though, and I have no doubt that, if my sister notices, she won't mind!)
I made two scallop scarves from a Lion Brand pattern, which I looooove. I used the recommended Vanna's Choice. The scarves turned out so cushy and pretty, and it's a really simple pattern that's easy to follow and pretty fast. I am definitely going to make more of these.

Swinging Marci
Hi La-La Friends! Time is getting really close for CHA!! I'm more than a li'l bummed that I cannot go, but there are quite a few gals from the La-La DT who will be and are so excited to meet you and show you what's NEW!! You can read more about it HERE.
For my card today I sat Darling Marci (from the Valentine Collection) on this fancy swing--isn't it just perfect for her? This was for a Red/Black/White challenge at Scrap-Creations this week. I had a li'l help with my double bow from the Bow Easy, which was a gift from my friend Helen over at Creative Jeans--thanks again Helen!! I use it all the time!
Thanks for stopping by today!!
Creatively Yours,

Sugar n' Spice Marci...Be Mine!!!
Sugar n' Spice Marci has baked up a little delicious cupcake (I colored with Copics and later sprinkled with glitter to the frosting for some added sparkle) for my card today! The little polka dot background paper has a little raised dimension with a glazed look to it, if you were to see this card in real life! The white eyelet background is from a Silhouette die, and the Be Mine heart and the sweet flower sticker embellie are both from one of K& Company's Valentine's collections!
Sugar n' Spice Marci is another one of La-La Land Crafts newest Valentine's Day release stamps! You can buy her in digi or rubber now! Visit the La-La Land Store to get yours today !! She can be used for Valentine's or any other celebration!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Karen
