Keeping busy

Here is a rose I made with grungepaper and vintage paper.Here I used tim's new die to make the cage and bird. I am really loving these dies.

This is something else I have been playing with. Stamping on fabric. How cute are these?

I think they turned out pretty cute! I added a metal embellishment that resembles a feather pen.

Here is another...................


Here are the two together.

That's it for me today. Off to create something fun. I only have a short time tonight.

See ya soon!

Surprise

special

Easter Greeting!

Here's some balloons for the occasion!

70 years of MOM!!

Who said you don't like your picture taken. Looks like we have a few!

Happy Birthday MOM!!!!

Presents for me and a sweet little girl

Here is Farris in her tutu again.......reason I am sharing this again is it leads into the next picture....A friend of mine ask for people to help send cards and tokens to a little girl who was recently been brought to Mayo here in MN. So I sent her a tutu of her own.
Then I make this card for her..Here is the inside

Here is another shot so that you can see the pop up.

Next.....I got some awesome new stuff......take a look

Ohhhhhh!!!!!! Aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Ohhhhhhhh!!!!

Yip-pee!!!

This is so awesome!!!!!

I will share some things I have been working on with these new toys...soon...very soon.

Yep this was my smile today!

What's yours?

Mini book

Here is a mini book that I have shown before, but now I have added the pictures.
Cover flower is made with a coffee filter and a pearl in the center set on top of some vintage music sheets.

Love these pictures of Farris!

Papa's big old hand on that little tiny baby.

For whatever reason this child loves to sit under or in things!
She loves to be under this toy rather then in it!

Just cute!

Mommy and Farris!

I don't know if you can see that the dog is on top of

Farris in her chair, as the other dog is in her car seat.

Well that's it for today!

More tomorrow. Later in the day as it is nice here.
Go make a smile!

travel journal

My specialty mini books......here is a mini book I have been working on. It is a travel journal.
The flaps you see open and you can put notes, receipts, memorabilia in them.

See the large binder? You can use it to hold larger pieces of memorabilia

See the flower on the right side....I used my I-top to make it. I like my new tool. I think it works better with fabric though.
I like this page also.

The end!

I am a little under the weather, so not to much writing today. Just wanted to share this with you.

Have a great day!

Make some one smile, it is a good thing!

Remember a few posts ago I won these items from Margie?
These stamps.

And this paper.

I made her a thank you card!
I think it is pretty darn cute.

What do you think?

I took her paper and turned it into fabric! I copied her paper and put it in my printer!
So I made this!

and this..................

The inside, I crumbled up some paper and turned it into a ribbon, stamped her clock that appears to hang from the ribbon. Then the fabric I made from her papers..................

I made a pillow!

How fun is this? Really, really fun!

One step further I sequined the mannequin.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

See ya soon.

Remember make someone smile, it's a good thing!
