Kiss Goodnight

I have been wanting to do one of these pillows for a while now.  I found a perfect saying for the pillow and decided to give it a try.  This fabric was a piece from that I had in my "large" stash :)  I love the color combo of this fabric.  It is sort of a thick satin. This is the front:

And here is the back - similiar texture to dupioni silk. 

I love this color, very rich.  

I had to do a closeup of the saying.  That was the only part I wasn't too happy about. Didn't think it would look so small.  Will definitely re-size next time.

These make awesome Valentine, anniversary, birthday or wedding gifts.  Also just to say I love you, thinking about you, whatever.

Let me know what you think?  Too small or ok?  Need to definitely try some more sayings/quotes on pillows I think :)

Off to create.................but isn't this cute  LOL

A bird does not sing.....................

I love this quote - I love all quotes but this is one of my favorites.

I decided to do another journal....................just cause I wanted to:)  I embossed the stamped image with clear to help it pop a little.  I used one of my favorite DSP from Stampin' Up! but unfortunately it is retired.

And a closeup just in case you wanted to see:

And the embellishments:

I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by.  Got to keep this short and get lots more done.

This was taken last week in the evening when we were out - not very clear and focused ( I know Kelli) but we were driving and I tried to capture it before it was gone.  It was so pretty.  I wanted to show you anyway.

Enjoy your day.  Stay warm and hopefully you arent' getting the cold and snow.  We have the cold right now and snow on the way.....brrrr!   I am soooo ready for spring.

Footprints

This is one of my favorite poems.  I have it in a stamp so I decided to use it on a journal front.  The Designer paper is a great color combo too. I got these papers last year at the Dollar Store.  The Top Note die is a favorite.   The seashells were glued on. 

A nice gift for someone to take to the beach.  Some quiet time, enjoy the beauty and write down there thoughts.  I can picture it now.............LOL.  Not with my three kids.  Just kidding.  I'd have to go alone or to a beach where there was no one else.

Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time............

Altered frames

Happy hump day!  It's already Wednesday which means we are closer to the weekend.  I can't wait.  I've been resting up and finally got rid of my headache that I had for 3½ days.  I kept waking up with it and it just wouldn't go away.  Still fighting the cough part though and so is my daughter.  We will just have to hang at home this weekend and rest up - I don't mind at all.

So I wanted to show you some altered frames and shadow boxes that I did.  Some were Christmas gifts and some I just put together.  I really love reading quotes and poetry, and using them in frames for special gifts.  Simple, easy to do but displays a beautiful message.

This first one is in my daughters room.  I just love the words and had to do it for her room.

I love the saying in this one too about hope and dreaming.

This heart-shaped one is for my very special MIL.  I just love the DSP on this frame and the colors.  Could be easily altered for a Valentine's gift.

This poem was sent to me by a very sweet angel.  It is one of her favorite poems so I put it into this frame and sent it to her. 







These next few are shadow boxes.  I just love how they look.  I wasn't sure how to alter a shadow box before until I wanted to try something different for a gift.  I was hooked after the first one.  The first two are the same but with different colors of roses.  Most of the wordings are printed on DSP with my printer.  A couple of them are stamps.  I'm always looking for great sayings on stamps because they are so perfect for this type of gift or even the front of an address book.

A closeup of the vellum butterfly.  Can you see the pretty glitter?  You should see it in the sunshine!  Looks so awesome.  Very pretty.
So there you have it.  I wanted to share something since it has been a few days since I have been here.  I will be working with some new SU products that I received.  I love it all and can't wait to try the new unmounted stamps and new punches.
Enjoy the sunshine if you are getting any.  We/ve had some pretty mild weather these last few days and it's supposed to last for the rest of the week.  I hope that the winter is on it's way out - I am so ready for spring.
Hugs to all
