Perfectly Preserved Cherries

Good evening!  Today I have a little gift set made using the cherry image from Perfectly Preserved and the jar from the coordinating Framelit Dies.  My friend, Chris, gave me some fabric with cherries on it and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.  The next step was to find something to go in the jar, Sour Cherry candy was the perfect choice.  Thanks for stopping by!

Sending Christmas Wishes

Good afternoon!  Today I have a Christmas card to share, this is one we did at one of my classes this month.  I love the jar die cut from the Christmas Mini catalog, I had been looking for a jar stamp for some time and couldn't believe it when the mini came out and not only did we get a stamp but a die as well!  Notice that the jar topper was cut using Summer Smooches fabric.  Thanks for stopping by!

Spice Cake Candy

Good Monday afternoon!  Today I have one of the projects we made at my Big Shot class last week.  This week highlighted fabric so we made this gorgeous flower to go on top of a gift box.  The box is from the Kraft Gift Boxes in the Holiday Mini, you get 4 for $2.95.  I used Spice Cake fabric and DSP.  To make the flower I used the Fun Flowers and the Blossom party dies and cut fabric, batting and burlap layers.  I added a brad to the center to hold it together and then a hat pin from the retired Pretties Kit.

And guess what,  this is also the blog candy for today!  You will get it unassembled of course but it is easy peasy to make.  To find out the details about the blog candy check out this post.

My Three Little Wranglers

Good evening!  I was able to get some photos of our new obsession...horses.  The girls are absolutely loving their new horses.  We are boarding them about 10 miles out of town until and they can't wait until we can bring them closer to home.  This is Shelby on Beauty, she has riding lessons so she just climbs on and takes off and we don't see her until time to go home.  Sadie is a little more reluctant to ride alone so Dad has to lead her on Beauty since her horse hasn't been broken to ride yet.

 Sadie on Beauty.

Dalton on Millie, a borrowed horse.  The guy who boards the horses has a freezer full of Popsicles and Dalton helps him get rid of them.  Enough about the horses, you came to see a card...

I really like how this card turned out, I used Spice Cake DSP again.  I got the idea for the medallion  using both sides of the DP on Debbie Duchess's blog.  I die cut  a scallop circle with some burlap for the center as well as a flower using Spice Cake fabric and put them together with a Pool Party brad.  Thanks for stopping by! 

Fabric Hair Bows

Good evening! I have worked all day getting ready for an upcoming event and got tons of things accomplished. I made a bunch of these cute hair bows and hopefully my girls won't take them all before the event, they really liked them. Very easy to make, just cut the fabric with the Circles # 2 die and fold and glue. The fabric is Candy Cane Christmas from the Holiday Mini(still available!) and the purple is a satin fabric I already had. The event I am working on is called The Pink Event which is a Cancer fundraiser. If you live close by, you should try to come. They will have several vendors, a catered lunch, a dynamic speaker, music, a fashion show, raffles, door prizes and much more. The cost is $20.00 which goes toward Cancer research. It will be on March 14, hope to see you there!

It's the Little Things

Good morning! I love how this card turned out but I do not like how the photo turned out, I guess it is just too overcast to get a good photo which is another reason to wish for Spring. I have been wanting to use fabric on a card but didn't want the swatch of fabric look so I played around with making fabric yoyo flowers. I will cut my fabric a little wider next time but this size is perfect for using a stem from Sweet Summer(FREE!!!SAB!!!). The DSP is Springtime Vintage and the bow is made with Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon. The sentiment is from You're a Gem and is in a Baja Breeze button.
