Playing Catch Up

I'm finally posting the last of my craft show projects! I will not have access to the Christmas stamp sets I've been using after next weekend, so if you want anything Christmas, let me know now!

This one is my absolute favorite card out of them all:

Mmmm, I love fall!

This is a framed piece. I love it and since it didn't sell I may keep it for myself! Haha! Just kidding. It is still available if you want it....

And just a couple baby cards:

Now it's time to catch up on my scrapbooking!

Happy crafting!

Mini Notebooks And An Altoid Tin

Tiny little composition notebooks! They are so cute! This one is my favorite out of the four, but the paper got wrinkled on the back so I guess I'll have to keep this one for myself. :)

Here are the ones I'm selling:

Then I altered an Altoid tin. I wasn't really sure what to do with it when I started, but I think it turned out pretty cute.

Happy crafting!

The Latest

All the following projects are for the craft show coming up in less than a month!!

This frame was just a plain black frame. Nothing exciting about it. I thought about adding color, then I changed my mind because I had the idea to use white and make it elegant. I used some Stampin' Up! rub-ons. It would be great for a wedding photo.

This is a quick card I put together. I loved how feminine these little doilies make a card look!
Christmas in the country!
Simple with silver:

It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas!

I know, I know. That's so original. It's true, though! But before we get to that, here are a couple of projects I've worked on for the craft show. (Which, by the way, I found out is October 17. More details on that soon.)

First, here's a card I created using "A Tree For All Seasons" stamp set. I love, LOVE the stamp set! It is just so cute and I love using it.

For this simple and quick project, I used a Stampin' Up! rub-on. I love rub-ons. :) This is just a cute little jar that you can use to put little candies in and give as a gift, or you can store small craft items like brads or buttons. It sure looks cuter than a plain, naked glass jar!

I love notebooks. Always have. But spend a little time with one and give it some tender loving care and voila! They go from drab to fab!

Now for the Christmas stuff. :) It's the most wonderful time of the year!!! I decided (with the help of my mom) I need to have a good selection of Christmas cards/crafts available at the craft show seeing as how it's so close to December.

This first card I created around the bow. I was just playing around with ribbon and decided to make a bow and here's what I ended up with:
I love this next one. I love it so much I decided to make 4 identical cards to sell as a set. It just makes me want to go make a mug of hot chocolate and curl up on the couch with my sweetie to admire the twinkling lights on the Christmas tree. :)

Here's the "Tree For All Seasons" again:

Such a romantic wreath, right?! I got the idea for the wreath from Splitcoast, but the card design is mine.

There you have it! That's what I've been working on for the past few weeks in between all the birthday celebrations. :)

Happy crafting!

Fabulous Site

Hello! I have some birthday cards and Father's Day cards to share with you, but I still have to edit them. In the meantime, I thought I would share a cool website with you that you just may want to check out!

I came across Paige and Brooke's website through a new blog friend recently. They are all about homemade, so you know I'm all about that!! Please go check out their site. I'm adding their link to my sidebar too.

A Baby Gift

I found this idea for fabric wrapped initials on a blog several months ago. I really wanted to try it so when I learned that I had a niece, I knew exactly what I would make her!! Conveniently enough, her name is short and sweet so I decided to do her whole name instead of just her initial. Here's how it came out:

Valentine's Day Treats

These cute treats are quick and easy to make. I just wrapped a 6x6 piece of paper (I think that's the correct size) around a Hershey bar. Stuck a small strip of paper and tied a ribbon around it. Then I added a little square embellishment. Cute, right?

These cuties are mini cards, only about 3x3. With little ribbon accents and cute stamps, these are cute as can be!
But I'm not finished with Valentine's Day crafts! Stay tuned!

Dance!

Okay, I didn't think I would finish my daughter's coaster hanging this fast, but I'm glad I did! I am so happy with how it turned out! I included close up pictures to show more detail.

The letters were die-cuts. I found ribbon and paper to match the letters and took off from there! I used brads, buttons, and ribbon and stickers to embellish each coaster. I put in eyelets to attach all the coasters together with ribbon.

Happy crafting!

Coaster Hanging

I saw this coaster wall hanging on Splitcoast Stampers. Wouldn't you know, I had some coasters from the Outback Steakhouse saved up already! I really love this idea and I'm currently making one for my daughter's room. It's going to have the word "dance" on it, because that's one of her favorite things! I can't wait for it to be finished.

Cuddly Monsters

I found this idea in a Family Fun magazine. On my most recent trip back home to Florida, my mom and I tried them out and I think they turned out pretty cute! My daughter picked out her pink corduroy fabric for her monster. She now takes her monster to bed with her!

Cute Owl Treat Bag

I made this treat bag at the creative escape weekend. It's so clever. I don't know how people come up with these things.

Cute Octopus

I found this octopus in a copy of Family Fun magazine. I made one for my daughter and she loves it, so I made one for two of her friends also. They are made using a tennis ball, yarn and googly eyes, so they're super cheap and super cute! Click here for instructions on how you can make your own!
