Who doesn't love burlap?

This is a great way to spruce up a gift bag so it's two gifts in one!

I think the back is as pretty as the front.

I love cotton embroidered ribbon and of course

acrylic flowers and sprays.

Adorable button!

Stamped on some seam binding

that I had dyed and scrunched up.

If you like the bag and the embellishments

Mom's Gift Card Box

I made this box by coving a balsa box with my

Stampin Up Paper and Pro 31 Designs flowers,

one acrylic clear flower, a pearl spray,

 teeny tiny flower trim and ribbon.  I painted the

handle and then glued on a button. 

I covered the whole outside of the box and

whitewashed the inside.  Silly me forgot to take

a picture of the inside.  I wanted to keep it simple as much

as I was tempted to add more to it.  I liked it with less.

I just wrote out the word Mom.  I debated stamping

the word but decided to just use a pen.

Mom loved it!  I made it to put a gift card inside

but it would not fit! :(  Oh well, she still loved it!

This is my first attempt at altering one of those balsa

boxes but I will be doing it again.

If you would like to purchase some trims or flowers!

Happy Mother's Day!

I miss you so much Mom!  I can't wait to see you again.

I am also so thankful for the gift of being a Mother myself.

Children are a gift and a reward from the Lord.

With 7 children and 12 grandchildren it is hard to gather us all together at the same time!

I love you all and I thank God for each one of you!

Perpetual Birthday Calendar

 It was hard to take a picture and get the whole calendar in so I just took a few close ups! This will be a fun way to remember all the special days of the year!!

 I really enjoyed working with this Teresa Collins paper!  It is the Timeless and Posh lines!

 Pink, Black and White oh so yummy!

 I used lots of Pro 31 Designs products and Teresa Collins Blingage.  Here is a Melissa Frances crown with some hot pink glass glitter added to it!

 Tim Holtz metal plaquette with added bling.

Love it!  I hope you will go and check out my youtube video!

Anniversary Gift

I started on this mini for my son's 1st year Anniversary while the hubby and I were away at the beach celebrating our 15th year Anniversary! 

This is the finished mini!  They loved it.  Yay! I used lots of Pro31 Designs goodies on it. 

This is one of the flowers that I made and now will do a tutorial because I had a few requests on my Youtube video.  Easy peasy!  I used seam binding that I had distressed.

Just a quick look at a few pages!  So much fun making it!

Pocket for your thoughts!

I made these pockets for a swap over at Your Paper Pantry dot ning site.  We were to use muslin and decorate the front however we like.  Inside is the pockets that hold tags that I soaked in coffee to give them an old tattered look.  We were to stamp quotes on the tags too.  I used sepia colored ink and just stamped directly on the fabric with some french stamps from 7 gypsies.  I used the Tim Holtz dress form die and covered that with burlap that I sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang spray in Alpine Ice Rose Color.  The lace and trim on the dress forms and the flowers are from Pro 31 Designs etsy store.  I made the stamp that says "God is the tread that stitches us together" with my Teresa Collins Stamp Maker.  I created the ribbon flower with pleated ribbon and put an antique button in the center.  I hope you like this.  I am making another one for a giveaway that I am having on my YouTube channel.  Come on by and subscribe to my channel.
