OWH May Flower Garden Challenge #6

Just found this patterned paper in one of my Stampin' Up stacks. Loving the combo of So Saffron and Pretty in Pink. Very springy.

OWH Thankful to be green challenge #4

This challenge is so great because it forces me to use a color other than pink!

OWH Birthday Challenge #3

This one uses the Stampin' Up set Crazy for Cupcakes. Love it.

Hair bows with Jelly Beads

These are a few of my latest hair bow creations using polymer clay beads from Jelly Beads Designs. You can find her at http://www.jellybeadsdesigns.com or on Etsy. I just love that Strawberry Shortcake.

OWH Punny Challenge

I love this Stampin' Up Puns from the Past set. I was running short on time for this card, so I just threw together something simple. And please ignore the blob of glue showing above my ribbon! Thank goodness it dries clear. Haha!

Movie night

What do you get for the guy who has everything? How about a night out with his wife? That's exactly what I did for my brother's birthday - I gave him a gift card to the movie theater, and was inspired to make this card using the Archiver's exclusive Quickutz filmstrip border, and the oldie, but goody, QK 2x2 popcorn die. I popped up some of the popcorn pieces with some 3D Zots. The font in the inside is Aquarius.

Cat in the Hat Diaper Cake

This is a recent project that I created for a baby shower at work. I looked up instructions online for how to make a diaper cake and for how to do the cloth covered diapers. With a little help on the sewing from my mom, the cake was really simple to put together. It came together quickly, and turned out even better than I expected!

Vintage Inspiration

Scrap-mart is having another wonderful challenge on their blog. This one is for a Tim Holtz signed Sizzix die. They have a gorgeous vintage photo for us to use for our cardmaking information. If you would like to play along, visit their blog - http://scrapmart.squarespace.com/journal/2010/1/28/who-wants-a-new-sizzix-tim-holtz-die.html. Deadline is Feb. 4, 2010.

Made to match

I made this card using the Quickutz paper dolls, and a variety of other QK dies to match Cadence's birthday gift - an adorable embroidered apron from http://www.etsy.com/shop/tinygreenapples.

Princess bows

This is a card I did for a friend's little girl, and I was very pleased with the results. The princesses are ribbon sculptures on alligator clippies, and I attached them to the front of the card, so this is part card and part gift. The Snow White one was the most difficult to make because of those curls on the side of her head, but overall, I think they turned out pretty well for my first attempt!

Tutus!

I made a couple of tutus for the craft show at my son's school. Oddly enough, the pink one sold, but the one done in the school colors did not. It is blue, yellow, and white. If you are interested in purchasing it, please send me a convo on my etsy site!

Bow creations

These are some of my bow creations that I have sold to friends, and am trying to sell on Etsy. The polymer clay centers are from Candylandbeads on Etsy, and I think they just make the bows complete. Her work is adorable! I have really enjoyed perfecting this latest craft; unfortunately, I still haven't found the best outlet for selling them. I guess I'm not much of a salesman!
