my crazy busy week in a nutshell...

I have been working like crazy to get some orders done... not that I mind!


Two blankets were the same as I have done before, but 3x3 size (which works great!). One for a baby girl and one for a surprise!




This one is a few inches bigger than 3x3 with a matching pillow, special order for a frosty fan!





....and this is a custom order nursing cover!




Last night was a great night. I went to a crop for the first time in ages...ALONE! It was so nice to hang out with Tina (a fellow design team member) and everyone at the crop and scrapbook. I of course did not get anything done. Well, there was a halloween page contest, and that was the only page I finished. It didn't take very long to do, and the rest of the night I was just STUCK! But I think the coolest part of it was, my page won the contest! I got a 10 dollar gift certificate to spend at the store! Yay! If anyone is interested in participating at tonight's crop, give the store a call and sign up! There will be another contest tonight! It is a lot of fun and they give you the paper for the page!

Does anyone know how to get something embroidered? I need some monograms done for a blanket I am making? Pin It

Moravian Star

...with the new Basic Grey Figgy Pudding collection and a bit of the fruitcake thrown in too :) This paper is BEAUTIFUL!

I really need to stop taking the pictures at night because I wish the glitter and detail showed up on this picture of the star. Really shimmery and pretty! I used stickles "platinum" to edge it after I inked it with stampin' up close to cocoa and modge podged it with a matte finish.

Thanks Mom for the star and idea! :)

Design Team Layout for the Month

So this month's design team layout was so much fun! I used Anna Griffin Paper, tomato-ey paper (I can not remember the brand of this, but it was great!) and these amazingly cool SweetWater Do-Dads buttons. They come in this natural wood, but you can paint or distress it however you want, and also included are button cover stickers WITH the holes provided for threading. They were so much fun to work with! The other main embellishment I have is a nifty trinkets keeper, that you can add anything and everything inside (if it fits) and then use it as an ornament. It has a neat loop like a trinket on top and you can hang it with the brad provided as well as ribbons and such. I chose to cut this loop off to use as a circle on my page, added a picture and blinged it up with rhinestones. The journaling on this page is done with a transparency, and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Two custom order blankets and pillows:

Been working on these over the past few days. The pink pillow looks lumpier in the picture than it really is.

Busy Birthday Month!!

They look crooked, but I think its how the picture was taken *I hope! :) Pin It

Dad's Birthday Gift-Clock!

He has the same color scheme in his place as the star that I did, so I used the same paper. One side is a clock, the other side is a picture frame... Click on it to enlarge...

7gypsies paper, making memories rub on numbers, 7gypsies siblings sticker, red rhinestones, ribbon and a basic grey thank heaven for little boys rubon. black ink to distress edges and spray matte to finish it.

And I am so proud of myself. I drilled the hole AND put the clock together all by myself!

Poor Jackson looks like he was in a cat fight. :(
