Make & Takes!

Day 4 of Projects!
Our Croppin Friends are spoiled and are
used to getting a Make & Take at crop,
so it's been up to me to make sure they get one.

So far we've made bottle caps,
Bra & Panty Cards and the projects below!

This adorable little brag book was
for our very first evening crop.



Last evening crop we made this cards.
Cricut Cart Home Decor was used.



Make sure to stop by tomorrow for
the next make & take and a Tutorial!

What day was that again?

Day 3 of Projects!
Now that I've started my Tupperware
business and am doing classes and crops in my
home I need a way to keep my days straight.

I created 2010 and 2011 calendars using
Microsoft Excel and printed them out.
I also have the same calendar sheets on my
bulletin board on my desk for quick reference.
From there I cut Chipboard covers and divider.
I used Tally Scrapper's "Summer Ardor" by Nikki
to decorate the date book.

It's all about Felt!

Day 2 of Projects :).
Today it's all about Felt!
I have recently learned how
to use a sewing machine, however
I still prefer sewing by hand.

A few months ago Mom and I each got a
Fiskar Trimmer and mom immediately went
in search for all the decorative blades.
She got us quite a few!!
And the new challenge was how to store them.
I came up with this felt book with
little pockets for each blade.
Outside with Chipboard Insert to make stronger.

Inside with pockets.
Had to add the flap to insure the
blades would stay in the pockets.

Since I was already having fun with
the felt I decided I needed a little pouch
to store all my extra stylus for my Gypsy!



A couple weeks ago Justin and I went
Joann's and I picked up some really cut
quarter cuts to make a fabric owl.
The next day the Sewing machine and I
had a fight and the sewing machine won.
I found out it's very smart to
add a backing to thin fabric.
Something I still need to purchase.
So since the sewing machine refused
to help me make an owl, I pulled out
my felt and started to hand sew!
It's she cute??
I just need to add a bow and she's done!

(Ok, I admit she's not that
cute, but I'm proud of her!)
Thank you all for stopping by!

Whooo's Purse?

My projects the past few months
have been few and very spread out.
So over the next few days I hope to share
with you the last 3 months worth of projects.

Altering Wooden Objects is so much Fun!
I did a pure slightly bigger than this in Jan.
But this one is my favorite!
I used Sassafras Paper to cover the Wooden Purse.
