Are you ready for an out of this world notebook?

OK, I'll show ya!

It's got some cute little octagons on it with fun patterned paper...

That I stitched down with my sewing machine!

It went pretty quick. I used some scrap paper to cute the octagons out.

The paper is Clever Handmade!

I think I will turn this one over to my little  Ozkar and see what he puts in it.

Have a great day.

Sunny Sunday Ya'll!

Ohh it's going to be a nice one today and I will be inside...working

...the good new is I do Love my job.

What I have to share with you today is a 8x10 LO of my kiddos, I really like to scrap this size of foto. We all have them and it seems like the get piled on top of each other in the frame. Not

anymore.

Having a daughter and a son the color schemes get a little challenging sometimes. I try and stick to the

colors in there clothing.

I also have a bestie who is an amazing photographer...and she blesses me with

great fotos of my kids.

I still haven't figured out how to take great pictures of my work. I seem to get glare.

I added a tuxedo bow and a doilie. Decided it would be good just like this. I think I may need

to add a date on here somewhere...I'm sure one day the dates will be escaping me.

Have a nice day and thanks for looking.



So lovely So sweet

Soooo on a Roll!

Ok more cards ladies and perhaps gentelmen. 

Annnd I think all my fotos will be taken with this backgraound from now on...my kiddos cheery bedroom walls, they make Me smile..the kids too.

Cards, cards, cards....

Cards, cards, and more...cards!

...Clever Cards...

I have been on a card roll lately. I think because it allows me to sample all the goodies without a huge commitment. There are so many things to be made out of one 12x12 piece of paper!

Love me some pinwheels, they are so light and airy, this one is totally form...not function!

I totally got the banner across the front of the card from Heidi Grace Kress. She had lots of cute samples of this technique when she came to visit....and the tabs. I am really liking tabs right now too, lol!

Ohhhhh love this quote and the little stamps, I've had them around for a while and decided it was just the time to use them. I like how you can make any sentiment you want and it's ecletcic. Lends itself nicely to the uniqueness of this paper.

There's a little of whats goin on in My Craft world.



Paper Lovin Gals #27 submission, Audrey Frame

Audrey Frame

I have had painted this green frame a while ago and it's just been kinda uninspired until...I layed some super cute Nikki Sivils (Audrey Collecton) on my table next to it. And my creation was born...

I just fell in love with the way it's turned out. I'm quite proud of this one.

I'm going to enter it over @ Paper Lovin Gals #27

http://paperlovingals.blogspot.com/2012/04/plg-27-fun-banners.html

I decided on a triangle banner with some faux stitching! 

I have some of these "partridges" stock piled...they are the sweetest little birds. For the flowers I free handed some circles and spiral cut them, rolled them in and secured the trio down with hot glue!!

The papers I modge podged to the surfaces(the frame and bird).

....SWOON.....

I just may have to make more birds and flowers!!

Thank you for coming to visit, there's so much inspiration and encouragement to share.

Clever...it's Handmade

Hello Blog Friends!

Seems like life caught up with me in the last week and I've been absent! I did get to burn the midnight oil a few times! Nothing like some Bon Jovi and a stack of paper to get things going!

What I have to share with you is a sweet LO I made of my baby girl Easter of 05'.  I used the embroidery boards and patters from Clever Handmade! This is soooo much fun, you rub the pattern on and pre-pierced the design then stitch it on! 

So the Clouds are what I stitched on!! Just a floatin in the sky. This paper is the Embroidery Board that Heidi designed to be used with the transfers, but you can use it for anything. It's a great weight it  holds  up to getting spritzed, cuts nicely and it comes in some mod patterns:)

Isn't it cute?? You can stitch as close or as spread out as you want. I like seeing the pattern in between my stitching, and the little heart is so sweet!

Got a close up of my journaling and banner. I created the banner  using Sticker Tape, also a Clever Handmade product! I layered the two together and made a couple a snips and there is was, a clever little banner, lol! The sticker tape it a heavier  weight  than washi tape and it's not translucent. I'm a fan for sure. 

Thanks for looking it just maaayyy be two post night, we'll see!
