Armed and Crafty

So I have all this fabric and I have been trying find an easy and fun way to use some of it up. I found a tutorial online at the American Crafts Dear Lizzy site to make rolled flowers so I grabbed my glue gun and got to work.


Here's the link the video with the easy how to: http://americancrafts.typepad.com/studio/2010/04/dear-lizzy-fabric-flower-video.html

Here's the end result - Thank You card for a friend


A Happy day card for some lucky person :-)

Tutu Cute

Yes... they are too too cute for sure! Jess mentioned a couple weeks ago we should make tutus for our little girls in our life so I said I was in. It was actually pretty easy, if you want to know how just ask. Here are the fun tutus that will be making their way down to El Paso, TX for my little Lillian and her baby sister that is yet to arrive.

Baby Cooke's tutu - pink and purple tulle, with pink organza ribbon and a couple little purple fire flies sewn on to the ribbon.


Miss Lillian's tutu - also pink and purple tulle, but with pink and teal organza ribbon and matching fireflies sewn around the waist line...


Okay girls, now its time to dance!!

P.S. (sorry Sarah...had Holdan been a girl, one would be coming your way as well)

Sending some Crafty Love

Jeff and I don't typically celebrate Valentine's Day, but since I have some cute little babies that I am Auntie to I thought I would send a little love their way. They all got a version of this card, each with a sweet pea on the inside that I made with my trusty Cricut and customized for the boy and the girls. They each got a little present with their cards.

Little miss Sydney got some headbands for her hair and I had to amp up a few of them so I found this great "sherbert" fabric at Joann's and made some lollipop flowers and sewed them onto the bands.

I am thinking of all kinds ways to use the BIG stack of fabric I still have for my scrapbooking pages.

Speaking of scrapbooking...t-minus 13 days til our next scrap weekend in Saginaw! There will be a small group this time, about 1/2 our normal crew but it should still be quite a bit of fun. So I will be getting photos and paper ready so I can really get something accomplished.

Keep on being creative!
