Episode 44: Drawing Faces

hey there friends,

I  had mentioned in my last post the results of my blog poll, and a good portion of you, almost 40% wanted to see me do a tutorial of drawing faces. I know I usually do my doodling on camera, so while I was away visiting my family out of town I brought my pens, some scrap paper, and of course my camcorder and decided to show you how I doodle my faces. I do so really simple faces, and I will make a valid effort in the future you to show you how I draw my faces as part of my episode tutorials.

For the photos of this episode, I thought I would share with you some faces, that I drew on past projects.

Remember that When you want to draw a face on an image, to you design Studio/ Gypsy to hide contour on the guidelines of the face portion. So that you're free to draw on them what you like

Episode 28: Piece of Cake Favor Boxes

Hey Friends ,

Today is another awesome Friend Request and it comes from Amanda, who wrote on my facebook page, that she was having a baby shower and was having a bit of a mental block when it came to creating things for the shower. I ran through a bunch of different types of things that I could showcase, a banner, an all paper flower floral arrangement, but then I decided to make a piece of cake, that is really just a piece of cake to make

Well then I said, wait how am I going to make this? I didn't have a pie box template or any sort of cartridge that had a triangle box. [Side note: you can find a box similar on Tags bags boxes and more (retired) and Tie the Knot] So I did what any other crafty woman would do, make my own. I literally had to do a bit of math to figure it out. And thank god I took those calculus courses in College!

So I will make this gypsy file available via email, if you would like it let me know and i'll be more than happy to send it your way because file sharing sites on the computer scare me! I do not know how to covert it to DS files... but if any of you out there know how to, you're more than welcome to it! I made the file using George and Basic Shapes because everyone who owns a cricut has George Preloaded on it (more info here,and yes it works)


Anyways in the video there are a few different tricks on how to make 3D prima flowers as well as tying the perfect bow using just your fingers :)

Just wanted to note that it takes 9 Triangles to make a cake layer, I did make 9 Triangles but only decorated 3 because I could not figure out for the life of me what I would do with a party favor box cake just sitting around!
