Fun stuff!

I'm back with some fun stuff I made this past week. I made some bunny cake pops for my neighbor grandkids. I think they are way too much work for what they are but they are fun to do. I put them in little box baskets that I picked up at Walmart. They were loved by the little kids!

The card I made was also fun. It's a Northwoods stamp. The sentiment on the tag of the golf bag is a tiny stamp from a company in Arizona that I can not remember the name of. I wish I could because I would love to order a bunch more tiny sentiments from them. They were at one of the big stamp shows in Phoenix several years ago. They had zillions of tiny tiny stamps. If you know the name of the company, please let me know cause I want more!!! The DP is by SU and is several years old. I really love how it all turned out - masculine cards are tough for me! My father-in-law will love it.

So, we finally got all our cabinets put in last week. We are STILL waiting on our rock guy to come finish up the fireplace. He was supposed to be here last Friday or Saturday. It's a small job so I know he doesn't want to make a special trip up here to do it but I'm also waiting on an estimate from him for a larger job as well. He does very good work so I don't want to hunt for someone else. I just have to be patient and that is hard when I want this job done NOW!!! I have been moving stuff around everywhere trying to get more organized with all the new cabinets. I actually have some EMPTY cabinets now!!! Wish they were in my craft room!!!

Have a great rest of the week. My daughter is coming in for a few days tomorrow so I'll be on the go for awhile!

Peachy card

I have a new embossing folder that just screamed Easter to me! I love the details on it and thought I would just add a few flowers so as not to take away to much from the beauty of the design. So, no stamping here. The folder is Cuttlebug and the flowers are all punches. The flourish is a die cut by Sizzix. The leaves are Spellbinders.

Also, here is a photo of my recent quilt. It looks so much more beautiful in real life. It's in browns, beiges and teal tones and goes so well in my basement living area. It's a sewing theme and I'm truly having a hard time splitting my time between sewing and card making right now. I actually started another quilt with some fabric I have had for quite some time. It's a Mary Engelbreit quilt so will be fun and bright. So, if you don't see many postings on here...I'm busy sewing!!!

Have a great day!

Needle book and another valentine for you!

This is a needle book I made for a dear friend of mine who is an excellent seamstress and papercrafter. The book is made with wool felt. I used some of my floral die cuts for the front cover and added a few embroidery stitches. The inside of the book has felt pages for needles and pins.

I made a few Magnolia Valentine's this year and always enjoy making them. This is actually two images that I have cut out. The DP is by My Mind's Eye and is such a pretty print. The back of the floral paper is the gingham which is what I used for the ribbon backing.

I have some news to share with you in a few weeks. It will involve many projects that I will have to keep undercover for awhile. Until then, I will be busy as a bee! Thanks for dropping by!

The cutest little house!

I was going through my craft cabinets and I found this chipboard house to decorate. I was so excited because it would be so perfect to give to our realtor full of candy. So, I got busy and covered it in papers to match the cards I made her. I absolutely love this pad of paper by Kaisercraft! It has some punch outs in the back too! Anyways, I added a little Tim Holtz door knob to it and put one of his "LIFE" keys on the top of the roof. I had so much fun decorating this! And I filled it up with Reese's miniature peanut butter cups.
Hope you have a great weekend! This may be my last post for a few weeks. I'm heading to Colorado so won't be crafting for awhile! Take care!

A Doggie Christmas Gift

It's so good to be back on my blog. It's been a tough tough week. My husband fell 20 feet from a ladder while trimming a palm tree on Saturday and landed flat on his back. He has 5 breaks in his back and a broken finger. All are very serious breaks but no surgery is required so that was good. He has a long road to recovery though and can't do anything for a minimum of 6 weeks. It could be up to 3 months to heal! He is home now and doing extremely well. They brought his new body cast today. He can take it off when he sleeps but otherwise he keeps it on. This is one time when I wish I had a little kid around the house to pick up all the things he drops or forgets to bring with him before he sits down. It's a full-time job just keeping up with the stuff he drops!!! Of course he can't dress himself either so I feel like I have a monster toddler in the house!!!
So...I came upstairs to work on my blog and thought the phone might stop ringing for 5 minutes...well, it didn't. This entry has been in the works for the past 1 1/2 hours and it's something I made months ago!!! My tv show comes on in 15 minutes so I'm running out of time!!! I honestly "planned" to do a card. That hasn't happened and won't happen!!! But, here is a gift set for a doggie. It's just too too cute, isn't it? The jar was purchased at Hobby Lobby and I made the paw prints and lettering with my Silhouette and black vinyl. I honestly can't tell you who makes the papers as I've had this made for a few months and never got it put on my blog because it was supposed to be in a magazine and somehow it never made it. They swapped it out for another of my submissions so that is good but I really like this set better. Oh well!
I hope to be back again soon but my life has been turned upside down for the time being so I just never know what I will be doing next. Have a great week!

Baby Gift Bag Set

I'm back! I've been so busy with so many projects - just not stamping projects. Plus, Muffy has been rather ill so I've been trying to max my time with her. She is such a sweetie and it's so hard seeing her get old.
SO...here is a gift bag and card set I did with just one stamp set from Cornish Heritage Farms. The animal border was cut from some paper by DCWV. It is really what makes this card. The bag was puchased in a set of various bright colors from Target. I'll be back tomorrow with some more things so stop by!

Christmas Ornament and Card

I made this set last week and never got it posted. The ornament is made of paper mache and I got it at Hobby Lobby. I just glued matching papers to it to tie in with the card. The papers are from a new pad out this year by Cloud9Design. The stamps are by Waltzingmouse. The flourish on the bottom of the ornament is a random unknown stamp. There are dimensionals under some of the designs. Have a good week!

Yes, more!!!

Just a few more!!! The accordian fold card was cased from an idea at Christmas for a much larger card. It's made with various stamps and lots of embellishments and little scraps of paper and ribbons! The card is paper by Bo Bunny that I just got yesterday. The stamp is SU and I typed "daughter" on the computer and cut it out. I had so much fun making these!
