Cards I've been making

Hi Everyone,

I've been doing some card making lately.  I'm on a roll you could say.  Just found out how to make the easel cards and love them.  So much fun to make.  I'm also thinking and working out of my comfort zone and doing some goth girls "they're cute though" and I even watched Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" and I loved it! So anyway that's what I've been up to lately.  I'm also doing a few other things that I'll post about a bit later. Thanks for taking a look.

Look what I won!

Hi Everyone,

A few weeks ago I entered a blog contest on Tammy Tutterows blog 
(a great blog you should check it out)  and I won this kit from Paper Fashions Boutique   (check out Lisa's blog too....great kits)  Thank you Tammy, thank you Lisa!  I love it!!! I was so excited!   I enter these contests every day for months and months and I finally won!  I am so thrilled with my prize and couldn't wait to get started on it.  It turned out so cute!  I just love it!  You can get a kit like this for yourself at

Paper Fashions Boutique and Lisa offers many other adorable kits too.  You get so many supplies with your kits and some extra you can use for other projects.  Thanks for taking a look at my finished project!  I hope you like it as much as I do!

Vintage seam binding

Here is my first attempt at creating my own vintage seam binding.  Sorry the picture is so light.. It's actually a little darker in color.  I used tattered angels Pink (not sure of the actual name) I'm pleased with how it turned out and I made more in peach and orange and have the orange  fingers to prove it.  

I'm also going to attach some of the goodies I made for the 4th to take to Chris and Danielle's house.  They hosted a great 4th of July cookout with lots of great food and fun! Danielle had everything decorated up and it was so patriotic and festive and Chris was a master at the grill, with Ashley's always awesome salad and Linda and Harry's scrumptious potato salad and always requested and so tasty iced tea it was a great day!  Topped off with fireworks courtesy of Chris and so much fun with the kids. Thanks Chris and Danielle.

What I've been up to lately

Wow, I haven't posted in a very long time so just wanted to catch up and tell you what I've been up to lately.
I made this card for Linda (my sis) for her birthday.  It turned out so pretty if I must say so myself and the flowers were fun to make so of course I made a bunch of them.  Here is a picture of her card .  The next thing I made was a a wreath for the 4th.  It turned out pretty cute too. Here's a pic

Then I decorated up my hutch a little for the 4th!  It is one of my favorite holidays!

I got a roll of seam binding and this morning I tried my hand at making some vintage looking seam binding of my own.  I dyed the seam binding with  some Tattered Angels that I got from Claire's store
(Stamp & Deliver) for those of you that don't know.  She's gotten in some new goodies so I'll need to run over and take a look.  I'll try to post a picture of the seam binding after it is all dried to give you all a peek.
That's all for now.
Have a very Happy and safe 4th of July!
