Lace and Love

Lace and Love

Ok. Every time I come up with a new design it seems that is my favorite. This design was inspired by the lace trim around the bottom of a skirt. I simplified it and added some color but I love how it turned out. Black and white is a timeless and elegant combination and there is just the subtle addition of color.

Love Birds Wedding Invitation ~ Change

Well as I spent more time looking at the Love Birds Wedding Invitation I was feeling like there was something not finished. The heading box needed a little something to break it up so this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy!

There is a touch more elegance and it feels finished now. I love it.

Love Birds Wedding Invitation

The original idea for the love birds came from a custom order I had. The gal was looking for recipe cards to go along with the theme of her friends wedding. I was so excited about how they turned out and the customer loved them as well. The Love Birds invitation has a simple and elegant feel you are sure to enjoy and so will your family and friends!

Chandelier Wedding Invitation

Chandelier Wedding Invitation

The look of a silhouette chandelier is a simple yet elegant design feature and I have enjoyed working on this one. Even with the design in one solid color the detail of the chandelier really stands out against the background but doesn't shout.

Fall is Coming

I went into my local craft store the other day to look for a couple of items and all the fun fall items are out. I love the colors of fall, they are such warm colors that make you feel wrapped up in a nice cozy blanket. This inspired me to work on some fall projects.

I love these frames!!

They are so much fun to rearrange for every holiday.

The Black and White flower is the pattern that I designed.
I think the Green flower with the little bead in the middle turned out so great.

I am so excited I finally learned how to do flowers they are going on everything.

My Perfect Flower

Well, I have been looking for a flower pattern to use and add to my beanies but I haven’t been able to find one that is what I am looking for. The ones I have found either don’t have a pattern or one that makes no sense to me. After playing around with a couple of patterns and understanding how a flower pattern works ~ I finally came up with my own. I love how it turned out. It works perfect with the beanies and I’m sure it will work great on the headbands. I have been thinking about using a giant button in the center or getting some beads and putting a cluster in the center.

What do you think?.....

Alphabet Blocks

Our niece and nephew came to visit for the weekend {ok, it was the weekend of July 24th} and you know what that means....CRAFT TIME!!

In my church I was called as Camp Director for the Young Women. I have been so busy with that, running around, getting things ready, that by the time our niece and nephew came up I was drained. I had NO idea what craft we could do with them. Then it dawned on me ~ one of the activities we will be doing at camp is making alphabet blocks. Just like with the rag flip flops, this was one that I have not ever done before, so I was going to take this chance to try it out and see how it went.

First we went to a local hardware store and purchased some 2x2 pine. My husband took it and cut it all into square blocks. Now that we had a huge pile of blocks we needed to sand them to get rid of the rough edges and round the corners.

We have this perfect piece of lawn next to our town house so we spread out there in the shade and got busy. Bentley {my mini schnauzer} wanted to be out where all the action was as well. It was a perfect day for a craft outside. As I am sure you can guess I have a quite a selection of colors for spray paint. We put some old carpet tile squares upside down to use as our surface ~ the underneath side was perfect for what we were doing.

Uncle Paul did the spray painting.

Then Bailly and Gabe got to take turns painting any colors that could not be sprayed on. Paul had the idea for some crazy spatter look for his blocks, Bailly wanted to use white and purple, while Gabe wanted to use all the colors that the others where using. I was worried about his turning into some kind of colorful mess, but I actually really like how it turned out.

Look at the concentration on their faces.

We had other things planned for the rest of the evening so we set the blocks out to dry.

The next day we got out a stamp set that uses paint. All you do is add a little bit of paint to the alphabet stamp instead of ink. Paul used a brush for his and I didn't have time to finish Bentley's blocks. Look at how fun they turned out. They were both really excited about their craft and we always love having them up for the weekend.
