Congratulations!

I've been sewing up some more projects today.  My daughter has a birthday party to go to tonite for a sleep over and decided that she wanted to make her friend a little purse that I got a new pattern for.  Fairly simple, but she still needs my guidance so we worked on it today.  I'm pretty proud of her.
She has also been sewing up some other little projects that she wants to put in the craft fair in Sept.  I told her if she sews them, whatever she sells, she keeps.  But I will show you those at a later date.

So today, I will show you one of the wedding cards that I was going to show you yesterday.  I used Blush Blossom, vellum and a little bit of flower soft for the bouquet.  The wedding dress is all glittered up as well as the veil.  The grooms accessories are colored with the blush blossom marker.  And a couple pearls down at the left corner.  This is one of my favorites and fairly simple.  It looks much better in real life though.

Hope you like it too - let me know what you think.  Would love to hear from you.

In the Pink

We are surviving the heat wave!!  Mostly staying indoors and only going out in the evening.  It was soooo hot yesterday and muggy.
I was going to post another wedding card today but a friend emailed and ask about some of the Wonder onesies I've been showing.  She wants a girl and a boy onesie so I would like to show you a girly Wonder onesie today so she can see it..

This one is adorable too.  It is pink with little ducks, bears and lambs with umbrellas.  I love the print on this one.  And to go with this one, rather than a beach cap, I decided to keep it sporty and do a visor instead.

I couldn't find my pattern I used to have for these so I had to wing it.  The strap is fully adjustable with velcro and the inside front of the visor is lined with a soft terry-type fabric for baby's skin.  I think it turned out pretty cute considering it was all from memory from a few years ago:)  One of the few things I didn't forget with old age LOL.

So Maureen, I hope you like it.  Let me know what you decide.

I hope you all like it too - see you tomorrow and stay cool.

It has been hot here today! Not sure what the temperature is but yesterday it hit 34+C. Almost time to start going to the beach my daughter says. Think we may have to consider it.

So this is the same fabric as the green one I showed you a couple of days ago, but in blue. My friend that ordered these six outfits is giving 4 of them to a set of twins. So I thought if they look similar but different colors, it would look awesome for the parents.

This is the frayed design I chose for this one. The sailboat with a fringed bottom sail. It looks a lot better in person.

                 They turned out so cute. And here is the beach cap to match that I also made for her.

They look great together.

I hope you like it. If you are interested in any of these outfits, send me an email. And custom orders are welcome for color choices.

See you back here tomorrow...........................hugs

Blue Swans

Hi everyone

Although I love this retired stamp set from Stampin' Up!, I always find it very difficult to come up with something elegant.  Not sure why.

This is another one of the wedding cards for my girlfriends order and my least favorite.  I love the colors, but I was just trying for something a little more elegant.  This was like the third try and I just went with it.  

I used my scalloped and oval punches from Stampin' Up! for the sentiment.  There is glitter on the swans (if you clik on the photo, you might be able to see).

I hope you like it.  My girlfriend did and that's what is important.

See you back here tomorrow for another baby outfit.  Told you I've been busy!

Hugs til tomorrow

Spotted Turtle

I have been busy sewing baby outfits since May Days, along with other things.  A good friend of mine ordered 6 Wonder onesies - 4 boys and 2 girls all for 12 mos size.  They were all going to Ireland too!

The first one is for a baby boy in green with polka dots.  I embroidered a turtle on the front that frays out along his shell.

Sorry the close up of the design is a little blurry.  You can see the fray parts though.  It looked adorable on the front. 

And along with the outfit, I always like to add accessories where I can.  Rather than a pair of shoes for this outfit, I did a beach cap.  The back drape protects their necks from the sun.  They are so adorable on.

Looks much better on their heads too -LOL

That's it for today.  I have more to post still so I hope you pop back over to see.

Hugs

Best Wishes Blush

This is another wedding card for her collection.  I really like the "clean" look of this one.  The black really pops with the contrast of the blush blossom. 

I don't remember the DSP I used on this but an embossing folder was used on the blush cardstock.  You can't see the glitter well either that I used on the "Best Wishes".  I tried to capture it as best I could, as well as on the butterflies..

Oval punches from Stampin' Up! were used on the sentiment, along with the Oval All stamp set.

I hope you like it.

Hugs til tomorrow 

Congratulations glittered

On summer break, it's beautiful outside and I feel so relaxed.  First time in a long time. 

I wanted to share with you another wedding card for my girlfriend.  I really enjoy making them and haven't had to do any for a long time. 

I like this one too.  I'm not sure of the 'vanilla' flowers though.  I did find my white ones after this was done.  I was hoping for white and silver only.  It still turned out elegant though.  And glittery - what I was going for.

I will check back in tomorrow with another.  Yes, I have six of these to show you.  I might slip in a little baby outfit instead to show you.  You'll have to check back to see though.  LOL

Hugs

Better later than never:)

Yes I am back.  I never meant for it to be this long though.  After May Days so much happened and I was only going to take a few days rest since I was so exhausted. 

Well, besides filling baby outfit orders, and end of the year projects for teachers, our computer got a really bad Trojan infection.  I couldn't even get on to my blog for a good two weeks.  It kept telling me that Blogger had an expired certificate.  Anyway, it is all fixed and rolling again.

I will be showing you lots of stuff that I have been doing and planning.  My next event isn't until mid September so I plan on building up stock and taking my time at it. 

Also hopefully planning a couple of holidays in there and possibly moving.  That's if all goes as planned LOL.

So, the first thing I wanted to share with you are some wedding cards. A friend asked me to do up an order of wedding cards for her.  She needed 6 just for June! 

This is the first one:

Showing you two pictures so you can see the shimmer cardstock and the glitter on the bride's dress.  For a fairly simple card, I really like how this turned out.

I will show you another tomorrow.  Hope you come back to see and my friends that dropped in to see me today, thanks for sticking by me.  It means a lot.

Hugs til tomorrow
