Pillowcase Dress

My niece's Birthday is coming up and I've been itching to make her some things. With two little boys I don't get to make dresses, bows and things with ruffles. I didn't have a pillowcase to use but bought some adorable fabric and used the same concept of the pillowcase to make this little dress complete with satin ribbon ties.

So Silly

I finally found some time to sit down and scrap. Scrapbooking usually isn't a summer hobby of mine but I find it so relaxing that all my supplies are still out. Hopefully I'll continue to find time to scrap and unwind...

Glitter, Shimmer and Shine

The Glitter, Shimmer and Shine class is over at Feeling Scrappy so I thought I would share some of my work. I got quite a few cards done with this class. I learned a lot of great techniques and am honored that I was able to help teach part of the class.

Got Inked

The Get Inked class over at Feeling Scrappy is over, I had a blast showing some techniques and learning a few new ones. I thought I would share some of my work from the class with everyone.

Spring...

One of my favorite things about Spring is seeing all the beautiful flowers in bloom. Some tulips from my yard and lilacs from my sister, a wonderful spring arrangement.

Get Inked

It's almost time for the Get Inked class over at Feeling Scrappy. It starts May 11th! It's a 10 day technique class with all sorts of inks, ink pads and pens. With step by step instructions this class is perfect for those wanting to try something new.

Making A Paper Flower

Supplies:

2 sided paper
tape runner
button with thread


First you will need to cut out 8-9 circles (depending on the size of your flower) to make the petals. I cut eight 1" circles.

Roll in or bend the sides of the circles to form the petals.

I then cut a 1 1/2" circle and ran my tape runner around the edge to adhere my petals.

Thread on a button in the center for your finishing touch.
