Boy Elf

Hello and Happy Monday!!

I hope everyone had a

great weekend.  I was pretty

hot here in So. California.

It was around 95 yesterday

and I do not like the heat!!

I had a ton of laundry to do, so that

is how I spent my weekend...lol.

Today I have a fun project to share with you.

Before Easter, I started saving the empty

toliet paper rolls.  I had plans to

make bunnies out of them but never

got around to it.  So now I have a bunch

of these rolls lying around, so I decided to

make something for this week's

Peachy Keen Challenge
13-28 :: 3-D Objects :: Wrap It In Ribbon

I made a funny little boy Elf using a file from

Miss Kate's Cuttables

I used only his head and arms.

I wrapped the TP roll with some

printed paper from a stack I bought

ages ago!!  I added some ribbon from

3 Girl Jam and My Craft Spot

for his collar and belt.

I embossed his hair using the

Cutllebug Divine Swirls folder.

I also added a little distress in

in Gathered Twigs to his hair.

I used the Wide Eyed Kids Stamps for his face.

And check out my faux stiching!!

I added the stiching using my sketch pens

and my Cameo!!  This was my first time trying

this, but one of my blogger buddies

Nana from My Crafting Channel.com

shared a great video with me that had

step my step instructions.

The video shows how to add the stiching with te

the print and cut feature, but I just used my sketch pens

and it worked perfectly!!

Not sure yet, what I am going to use my

little elf for.  I could just use him as

decoration, or fill the tube with

candy and use him as a treat!!

I will be entering him

in the following challenges:
