Look at This Mess

This is kind of a weird post!? I don't have a craft room so every time I need to blog or prepare for a workshop I have to use my kitchen table. I told my husband it's a good thing nobody sees the mess I make when I craft huh? LOL!!! I have been so busy with swaps and getting my classes ready that I have been making a HUGE mess the past couple of weeks. I try to prepare all of my classes and swaps at one time so I don't have to make more messes than I can handle. I still have a couple of slots left for my Domino necklace class on the 28th. Cost is $10.00.

Top Note Purse

I posted this a few days ago but I wanted to share the links for the people that I cased this project from.

Paper Flower- Dawns Stamping Thoughts

Bags and Purses- Helenmade.blogspot.com

This was so much fun to make. I am very proud to say that I made the bag, and flower. I followed the tutorial on how to make the bag at helenmade.blogspot.com. I used whisper white card stock and it came out fine. Next time I will probably use 20lb printing paer and it might make it easier to fold. I made the paper flower on front that I cased from Dawns Stamping Thoughts. I think that I will put some notecards in the envelope for a cute little gift. I have a Domino necklace class coming up on the 28th. We will be making one Domino necklace and one of these cute purses to put it in. Wouldn't this make a GREAT Mother's Day Gift? If you are interested in coming to the class the cost is $10.00. Please pre-pay with Pay Pal (the button is on my blog). I have room for 3 more so make sure to secure your spot. Thanks!!! Happy Friday everybody!!

My Digital Studio

This is the first my Digital Studio card that I have made. I wanted to share it with everyone. I really have not played with MDS since I got it back in November. I think my card turned out good for the first try. If you are interested in purchasing MDS you can purchase it here http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/stampwithfriends/

This really is a fun program and the possibilties for the projects that you can make are endless.

Baby Carriage Card

I have been wanting to make one of these cards since I saw it on Linda Aarhus blog. This is so easy to put together. I used the owl Punch to make the wheels. I find myself grabbing for the Owl punch all the time. It really does have more uses than just making an owl. I bet you could make these adorable carriages with the scallop circle die. That would make such a cute banner for a new mom. I might have to try that.

Pear Pizaaz 8 1/2 x 11 Card Stock

Valentines Card

I cased this card from Sue Scheets. I think this is one of my all time favorite cards that I have ever made. isn't the lamb adorable? I used the Heart to Heart punch for his feet and the scallop circle punch for the hair on the lambs head. I sponged the body with pink pirouette. That's what I like about caseing (Demonstrators Copy and Share Everything). You get inspiration from a card and you make it your own. I didn't have the colors or punches Sue used but I improvised with what I have and I think it turned out cute.
