Boy-isn't this just bright and cheery- well that's exactly what we wanted it to be for my son's girlfriends college dorm room. Her colors were pink and yellow with zebra stripes- so that's would we did. I just cut alot of squares and then sewed them together on a diagonal and glued the large piece to double thick foam board and then added the zebra striped ribbon. I had a few pieces left over so I made this quick little pillow and used fabric paint for the words scattered on the pillow and tied a bow with some ribbon..How cute is this?

Scrapbook Friends Mini Album

A mini album I made for my new scrapbooking friends that I will meet at the CHA in Chicago on July 30-31st. The inside pages are green with one flower on each page leaving enough room for people to write in.

Birthday card-ONE

Happy Birthday Banner-Charlotte

Here is a banner I made for my cousin on her 1st Birthday. I used brown cardstock for the flags and did alot of individual cuts from many Cricut cartridges for all the fun flowers and shapes for each flag. I then added glitter or Stickles glitter glue to each one of them for dimension. I used pink and green yarn and threaded it thru the eyelets of each corner on flag to hold them together. There is a total of 23 flags- only showing a few of them here.

Graduation Cap Box and card

I made this gift box for my son's girlfriend this week for her Graduation from H.S. I bought the box from a card store and painted it black and then used my Gypsy and Cricut Expressions to cut out all the words and letters for the sides of the box. Which is shaped like a Graduation cap. I made my own tassle and tied it on after I sprayed the box with a gloss spray.

I then made a small graduation cap card to put inside the box and added a little tassle to that also. I wrote her name with a silver gel pen. I will fill box with silver tissue and put the card and a gift inside, she will be able to use this as a little trinket box or just put it out on display.

Nationals "bowling cards"

Used cricut to cut the suns out and I made 70 of these this years. The theme for Nationals in El Paso this year was "The city of Sun"

I used the cricut 50 states to cut out the state of Nevada. Nationals was in Reno again and I made 90 of these this year. Using lots of bright colors.

Nationals was in Detroit Michigan and I made 90 of these using the musical theme paper because of Motown..

I made 100 of these this year because I gave several out to people I meet while at Nationals in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I made these cute bowling bag purses for just my team and the opposing team while we went to Nationals and I made my mom's team some also. Tried to match their bag with there favorite colors and wrote everyone's name on it. When you opened it up you could place your WIBC card or sanction card inside. 

And with the cards I make now they open up and you can place your team picture inside and on the top portion you can write down all your scored to remember from year to year. The girls just love thesecards I make every year this is my 5th year of making them. Next year we go to Syracruse, New York in 2011.

Baby Boy Book

Just finished another baby book for my cousin Jen and Matt,they are expecting a boy. I used alot of rub-on and stickers in this book and buttons on one page tied with lots of blues greens and yellow, orange ribbons.

                                                               

Baby clothes dividers

These cute little baby clothes dividers I made with chipboard and covered in papers then used my cricut expression to cut out characters and then chalked them attached a ribbon on the top.

 

On the other side I used Lifes a beach cartridge and cut out the numbers and used Mini monograms to cut out the circles with mo on them. I think they will be really cute to seperate all the baby clothes in the closet to make things a litter easier on mommy's. I did these in blues and greens for a baby boy. Plan to make alot more of these dividers and give as gifts and also put some in my store for sale. Probably ask about $12.00 for a set of 6

I knitted this soft pink baby blanket for our first grandaughter last year and also made this adorable baby book , that they can add pictures  and new born  arrival information . It turned out so cute I have made about 6 more since and getting orders on more

I also like to sew simple things like curtains, table linens and baby receiving blankets with matching burp bibs like in this photo. I made 4 sets for out first grandbaby last year and there are a big hit also. They are doubled with two different patterns one on each side and have matching burp bibs for each set. I sell these for $18.00 for a set 1 blanket -2 burp bibs.

This was another gift I made for the

 special couple last year a Heart

shape Love Book.done in black and white

 with a bit of maroon colorit had 5 pages to it with the theme of butterflies, I just loved how it turned out and so did they.
