Cami Wreath

I finally got around to making a wreath out of my husbands unserviceable cammies. I think it is a great way to keep them around, some of them had been to Iraq and Afghanistan a few times. It is my little piece of history hanging on the front door.

Welcome back teacher!

We have already been in school for a week and a half here in Hawaii. I wanted to give the teacher a little something to welcome her back this year. I was so very excited to find out tht my sons teacher is his kindergarden teacher, she is such a sweet lady! I made her some little monogrammed note cards and a paper back pack to hold them. the not cards are 2.5" x 2.5" just big enough for her to write a quick not to a parent or another teacher. the lined paper came from the High School mat stack. I got the apple from CAC and it was cut at 1.5" I then used the letter L from car decals and welded it inside the apple layer for the monogramme. I added sme brown glitter for a little pop. The stamp sentiment came from PBD. My cute little back back cme from a template off of splitcoaststampers.com. I did have to enlarge it a bit to hold the cards and envelopes. The paper for it came from the Black Currant stack. I hope you enjoy this fun little project and try one for yourelf.

Princess Sophia

I have taken a bit of a break from crafting due to my husband returning home from Afghanistan. Thanks everyone for stayng with me. Today I have a fun banner to share that Imade for a little girls birthday party. The theme is princess party, I had fun getting use use a lot of pink! I have 3 boys.. I made everything from Once Upon A Princess. The castles were cut at 6.25" and them I added some purple stickles to the windows for sparkle. The name was cut at 4.65" (I used my Gypsy) I then recut them using the hide contour feature to have a blackout version. I secured the crown with brade and then added a small purple gem with my I-Rock. I finished it off by securing the castles with ribbon. TFL!

Argh....

I had lots of fun making this card. No cricut used here... GASP..lol... It was fun to sit down and color a stamp, relaxing and quiet.  The stamp is from Kraftin Kimmie and I used Prisma Colors and Gamsol to color it in. The background paper is DCWV Once Upon a Time. I ripped the edges and inked it to try and give it an older map feel. I then hand drew on the dotted lines, small island and an "X" to mark the spot. The sentiment comes from Pink by Design. TFL.

Wooo's having a birthday.....

This is a photo mat I made for a friends daughters 1st birthday that party guests will be able to sign.  The theme for the party is look woo's turning 1. This mat is not my original idea, I wish I could take full credit for it... I took the photo mat that matches the party theme and tried to re create it the best I could. I think it was really close. It measures 11x14" and will hold  a 4x6" photo.  I created the top boarder in my Gypsy, it is just a few scalloped boarders and circles. The branch was cut from CAC at 4.45" and the owl is from Sugar and Spice cut at 3" I added some ink around the owl and used my I-Rock for the bling on the owl's eyes. Pretty simple and really cute project that will be able to be displayed for years to come. TFL
