My 1st Magazine Publication... Awesome Reusable Tags!

Hi Everyone!

Yes it's true, I've been published in Cricut Magazine® Cards Idea Book Dec 2013 and I'm so excited to finally be able to share the news with my crafty friends. 

It's a project I'd posted previously, some of you may remember.  I was asked to pull it from all websites for a certain amount of time and now I am able to share it again :):):)

Here's another 1st.... A video about my tags.

Awesome Reusable Tags:

Tags and flowers were created in CCR and cut using my Cricut Expression with Art Philosophy cartridge.

Inks, stickles & rock candy crackle paints by Tim Holtz. Tattered Angles (for shimmer)

Vintage seam binding ribbon.

Sewing, ball chain, eyelet, background rubber stamp.

For the reusable pocket, I cut up an Avery brand, protector sheet and sewed it on. 

You can also add rhinestones or brads in the center of your flowers, instead of stickles, for a different look.

Wishing you a super fun & artistic day!

Hugs,

A little off the beaten path....

Hi, I hope your enjoying this fine Labor day!!!  It's been super hot & humid here, but nice to finely get some down time :):):)

So, I've noticed these adorable little needle felted critters all over the internet and I just had to give it a go.  Trust me when I say, if you're going to try it, be very careful... I gave myself a few good stabbings with that crazy felting needle and it doesn't feel so hot!!!

The black and white kitty is in the likeness of my sweet little Hailey cat, who passed away in June this year.  It's not great, but not too shabby for my first try ;)

The second one is a cute little lop eared bunny, I made especially for my Blythe doll "Georgina".  I have yet to find subtitle eyes for this cute little bun-bun, but I am on the lookout. I tried googly eyes and didn't like them.  I think i'll try some black beads?!

All you need is:  Roving Wool, Felting needles, Foam felting pad and some eyes.

Hugs,

"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" ~ OMGosh it's almost here again!

As Christmas quickly approaches, let the funnest card making season begin.  Here's a quickie Christmas card to get the ball rolling... 

Happy Saturday!
