Branch CAS Note Cards


Hello,

These cards were CAS from my friend Rachel at A One of A Kind Design By Rachel.   I met Rachel at a local Joann Fabric over two years ago. We became friend instantly.  Rachel introduced me to embossing folders and since then  I had been adding embossing folders to my craft room. Thank you Rachel!

The zigzag ribbons were made by sewing the ribbon the zigzag way and pull it tight.


 See this post for how to color the embossing folder.

Thanks for looking!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Purple Just Believe Note Card


Hello,

I'm sharing two more cards I had made over last weekend.


I made the bottom one first.  It look o.k but I wanted a card to look more than just o.k so I thought I changed the center color and I like the green center better.

Thanks for stopping again.

Hot Pink Just Believe Note Card


Hello Blogger Friends!

I haven't make a single card in months so over the weekend with the snow and ice I didn't have to go to work so I sat down and made a few cards.  This is one of them.

The stamp image was from SU.  Love that image!

White card base was from Paper Trey Ink.  The gray was from SU called Sahara Sand. Water color paper from Waltmart for the stamp image.  Black card stock was from SU.

Round Pink Crochet Decorative Pillows


Hello Blogger Friends!

This will be my last two pieces of my 20 plus years old crochet items. They are also my favorite pieces. I made these when I was around 15 years old.  Yes, I had lots of patience even then.

This is the center pillow.  The flower in the center had 7 layers.  It is about 1"  tall and 3" wide.

 It is about 13" wide.

This is the bottom of the pillow.  I placed card stock in there hopping to show the design better and I think it did.


Thanks for looking.

String Art Altered Paper Mache Box

Hello,

I am so addicted to this string art.  I love to use it to altered boxes. Here is my latest altered paper mache box.


The corners flourish was from a template that I bought from scrap book convention two years ago.  I created the center template inspired from here.   

I love this Stampin' Up! Final Press embossing folder. I used it all the time.

Thanks for looking!

Lots of Crochet Roses


Good Morning Blogger Friends!

Look at what I had been making!  I love crochet roses and I had been trying to look for the pattern that is easy and yet pretty.  And I found it! You can fine the tutorial  here. I am using size 10 crochet thread but the roses came out to different sizes because I used different size crochet needles.








I am working on the purple flowers now. 

My favorite challenge
