I also finally figured out why in the world you couldn't click on any of my pictures to make them bigger. So now I've got that fixed. From now on you should be able to click on the pictures to get a larger picture. :) … [Read more...]

Card Background with a Magazine
Ok, so this card was one I made a little while ago. The background for this card was made using a magazine page. This one was pulled out of a Pottery Barn Kids Catalog. I just found a page that had lots of red on it and cut it into little strips. (Don't worry about cutting the length of the strips to match the size just yet. Just cut them out and after you arrange them you can trim the edges.) Then I covered a piece of cardstock around the edges with some double sided tape and arranged the strips onto it. (Now trim the edges.) Once I did that, I printed the sentiment out. I used two different browns for the ribbon. To add a little … [Read more...]
Valentines Day
This project that I did for Christian was inspired through the Sprite Stitch Blog which I found through Celia's website. Apparently he's a friend of her husband. Cool blog for those who like gaming and crafting!!!! I saw this pattern from his blog and decided to make Christian a little dice bag for Valentines day.

It took just about 1 hour to do the cross stitch and another hour to sew up the bag, complete with drawstring and lining. Anyway, here it … [Read more...]

Calling all lurkers and regular readers of my blog…
I need your help! After months of research (about 9 months to be exact) I am really close to opening up a new business venture. I have been working with manufacturers and will soon have my own line of clearAcrylic Stampsto sell. I have designed all of the art (previews soon) and am now deciding what other things to offer in addition to my stamp line and trying to set my prices.I am so excited because I've always thought that everyone should have access to great design, regardless of your crafting budget. I will be selling everything at great prices. If I wouldn't buy it at that price, than I'm not going to sell it at that price. There's lots … [Read more...]
A whole new take on quilting
After seeing this image of a quilt it totally changed my perspective on quilting! Not that I ever had a bad impression of quilting, but after seeing this quilt, and others in this girl's gallery. I couldn't help but realize that you can have modern quilts too! If I read the gallery description right these are pictures from a quilting show in China. … [Read more...]
