Most Favorite

Well I dont know where the past few weeks have gone! Next week I'm off to Fiji, so not much creating is happening here as I'm trying to get ready. I got some new stamps on the weekend, they a brand I havent seen before, called Technique Tuesday by Ali Edwards and I love the sentiments. I made a super quick and simple card for my friend, with a bit of paint, and just stamped the sentiment on top. For the card base I panted over some pages out of a book, and glued a few of the pages together to make a little booklet inside so it is like a card/letter.

Right now I'm working on a super cute dress that should be perfect for my trip to Fiji, hopefully I will finish that up tomorrow night.

A Scrapbook Sketch

Happy Thursday. I've been busy sewing (hope to have it finished to share soon), but I also found a scrapbooking sketch I liked, so decided to play along. I have had these pictures of me and Tinky out sliding when I was home for christmas, and I knew I wanted to get a page done with them. I added an extra page to make it into a double layout, so I could include my larger picture of us together. I'm happy with how they came out. I titled it "My snow angel" because I always call her my little angel, or angel pie, so I though snow angel was a good one. Anywho...thats it for now, thanks for visiting.

Hello Friend

Hello! Today I wanted to play along with the Sketch Challenge at Just us Girls. I knew what colors I wanted to use and I had my sketch, so this is what is turned into. I'm pretty happy with it.

Anyways, thats it for tonight. Tomorrow is my day off so hopefully some time to create something! Thanks for visiting!

Merry Unbirthday To You

"One birthday every year
But there are three hundred and sixty four unbirthdays!"

I made this card almost a year ago now, but I finally decided it was time to pull it out of my stash and send it off. I am super excited for the new Alice in Wonderland movie this weekend, so I had to send this card off to my bestest friend who used to throw me Unbirthday parties when I was sad. Simple card, but I still like it.


I've also been tinkering with super super simple jewelry. I made a couple of these little necklaces last night and they are just so fun and easy. I will be making many more of these I'm sure!

ButterCup Bag and a Card

Hello all! Well I've spent way too much of my creating time this weekend watching the Olympics, but I have managed to get a few things done.

I love the ButterCup bag pattern so much I had to make another one. I added some interfacing to this one to make it a bit more substantial. I also did bias tape to the top edges and used a button closure instead. I really like how it came out. My sister is giving it to one of her friends as a belated birthday gift so I needed to make a card to go along with it.

Well thats it for this weekend. Hopefully I will have lots of time/energy for creating this weekend. Thanks for visiting!

Cuteness!

Hello and Happy Weekend. I have some cuteness to share today from "1 Yard Wonders". Meet my new friend, Elodie the Elephant. Is she not the most cute-est thing you've seen. Yay to my sister who found her fabric on sale for $4/metre. And the pattern calls for 1 yard, but it only actually takes about 1/4 of a metre.

I knew she would go perfectly with the little elephant card (template from Papertrey Ink), so I had to make up a little matching card for an adorable Welcome Baby Gift. Only problem? I dont know any babies! Oh well - her green and white color theme match my bed set, so maybe I will keep her for myself. She is a real cutie! (The color is a bit off in this one, the card is a not so blindingly yellow)

Anyways thats all I have to share today, I will be back tomorrow with something else sew-y. Have a good weekend!

Happy Valentines

Hola! I have a couple Valentine cards to share today.














I am in love with this little elephant that is from Papertrey Ink's Click Simple. He is just so cute, and I know my grandma (yes I send valentine cards to my grandparents) will enjoy this little cutie.

This little guy is from MFT and my sister bought him for me. She loves bunnies and I love cupcakes so he's perfect!

Okay, well I have to finish packing. I am off tomorrow for a week of lying in the sun, drinking margaritas and sunbathing with my sister! When I'm back I will have a picture of the little cover up dress I made!
