When your jeans split....

Make flowers!

Here's what my jeans looked like before (Sorry no rear view shots with me wearing them.)

This is what they look like now:

I also added some other fabric to it that my friend Flora gave me. I haven't hot glued it all together yet but I still need to get some pins for the back.

More pictures:



I love this new flower die. It's great!

Here's a card I made the other day. I really like this Crosses of Hope stamp set.


I used markers to color in the cross.

Make sure you use sticky strip to put the ribbon on though because if you don't it will look like this the next morning.


Not very pretty and not very nice if you gave it to someone. Luckily I hang on to my cards for a good few months before I give them to anyone. LOL.

Hope you are having a great day!

Fall SUO Challenge

Image
Okay here's my card for the SUO challenge. I hope I get in the top three but I have some stiff competition. I used the stamp set Just Believe and the hostess set Punch Potpourri. Paper: Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, Whisper White and packing paper Ink: Cajun Craze marker, Soft Suede marker, Peach Parfait Ink Pad. Accessories: Hemp Twine, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Square Extra-Large Punch, Top Note Die and Pearl jewels Pretty cool huh? I thought it came out good. I wanted to add a saying on the card and started by making a scallop sqare with a circle in the middle with the word "freind" in th center. I tried placing it all over this card but didn't like how big it was and took up too much of the card. So then I ended up making a 3 x 3 card for it to go on. Lookie: If you are wondering how we have two sizes of the scallop square I have to admit that we only have one size. But come back tomorrow and I'll show you how I did it. They look great t...

Paper Pumpkin Kit - Father's Day!

Image
I love surprises! My Paper Pumpkin is my monthly surprise that I give myself. Every month my red box shows up in the mail and I can't wait to open it and see what's inside. May's kit didn't disappoint. I love the amazing designs, colors, embellishments, stamps, ink, envelopes and printed paper. I admit that a few of the past Paper Pumpkins left me wondering what was going on with this kit. It's suppose to be a showcase of Stampin' Up! products. A few of the past kits made me think they were running to a Big Box store for supplies. So I wrote to Stampin' Up! about my concerns and they listened. I have to say I'm so impressed now with this subscription that I feel it's worth more than the $19.95 that it costs. I look forward to every month and seeing the amazing product that it includes. One thing they improved most on was the quality of paper. I now feel this is something that is worthy of the Stampin' Up! name. Envelopes and cardstock ar...

Punch art crazy!

Image
Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap ...
