Easter Treats

These are the Easter gifts I made for teachers this year.  I got the idea from Pinterest and they were a big hit. I filled them with marshmallows and added a little stamped tag on the front using Ears to you.

A Reversible Skirt and Headband

I had another photo shoot with Kit.  I tried another pattern using our Spice Cake fabric!  I made Kit a reversible skirt and matching headband!  I also made her a t-shirt using one of my old shirts. Oh, I am having so much fun!  I can't wait for my big fabric order to come.  I want some other choices.  I am a sewing fool right now.  Be sure to take advantage of the 50% off!!!  Don't miss out.

A Bed for Grace

My daughter was sick this weekend, with what we now know is the flu, and she was telling her grandma what she wanted for her birthday coming up.  She mentioned that she wanted the American Girl dog bed for her doll's dog.  So, what does mommy do?  I take out my computer and we start looking at ideas.  Then she picked out what fabric she wanted and I designed and made her doggie a bed and coordinating blanket.  The bed is also reversible so I used all 3 designs that came in the Twitterpated fabric set.  Now I hold the tile for the "Best Mommy in the World"!  I wonder how long that will last:)

50% off FABRIC

Fabric for 50% off!  WHAT!  I am so excited that I am jumping out of my skin!  I have never, I mean NEVER, thought of myself as a "sew"er.  I can't say that anymore though!  I will be sharing with you some projects I have done using Stampin' Up's! wonderful coordinating fabrics.  The first is this American Girl dress and matching barrette.  I decorated an inexpensive bonnet with retired ribbon so now Kit is ready in her Easter best.  The best thing about this was my daughter's reaction.

Remembering Europe

I love this stamp set and it is no longer available now that Sale-a-bration is over but it just reminds me of London so I had to share it.  You could easily substitute another stamp set for this one but the idea is there for you.

Spring Break Madness

Here are some reasons I have been missing in action.  Kids were on spring break and my husband was away at a conference.  My parents came into town for the week and I put my dad to work.  He and I put a tile back splash up in my kitchen and I LOVE it!  I thought I would share a before and after picture because I am so pleased with how it turned out and I have always wanted to do that!

I know I have been missing, AGAIN!  We have been on spring break here, had family, Dr. appointments, redo of the kitchen (added a tile back splash), husband gone, etc.  Needless to say we have been very busy here:)  I have posts on their way.  Stay tuned.

Must Have Laughter

Here is a another very simple card using Connie Stewart's flash card dimensions!  I love it!  this uses Certainly Celery, Rose Red, and Very Vanilla.  I added a little embossing on the bottom left to give it a little more dimension.

An Elephant of a Birthday

This is another card in a flash.  I punched the scallop border then cut that layered piece in half and attached it to my neutral.  I also used my Blender pen over my elephant to add a watercolor look.  Mini brads finish it out on the Happy Birthday sentiment.

Ears to You

Don't you love the option of buying exclusive single stamps?  I do! As soon as I saw this stamp I new it was going to come and live at my home.  I used my markers to color it in and I had to add a little pom pom tail (not Stampin' Up!).  So basic, so simple and so sweet.

A Special Valentine

I realized I had not shown you this card yet.  This was the card I made my husband for Valentine's Day.  I did mix some current and retired product in this card.  The love letterpress plate is retired but the rest is current.  I used some glimmer paper and made a banner with First Edition Designer Series Paper.  I stuck with the Soft Suede ink color.  I really like the simplicity of this card.

Betsy's Blossom Thinking of you with Bling!

Here is another quick card. I only used colors from the Subtle color collection.  So Saffron, Rose Red and Certainly Celery.  The Betsy Blossom stamp set is perfect for this card.  I made it a Thinking of you card but this is one where any sentiment would work.

Happy Mother's Day Swallowtail

I am so excited to share with you some very simple cards in the next few days.  I love making cards but I never have a lot of time so my friend, Connie Stewart came up with her Flash cards.  I used her idea and designed my own cards for a class I offered last week.  The basic idea is to use a card base, and a piece of neutral with 1 layer.  That is ALL you can use!  It is fun but also challenging.
