Been a while

It has been 8 months....but I finally got some mojo back! It felt really good to do some scrapping, I have some other projects that I want to get working on like a Magnetic board for above my scrap desk, some canvas art, and a some more scrappy pages. But, for now, this is will have to do. School take up a lot of my time as well as taking care of my kiddos and I have been trying to give them more of my undivided attention and so scrapping and whatever else takes a back seat.





I am a HUGE fan of Wendy McKee and her stuff and so because I needed a birthday card really fast, I lifted this from her. I loved everything about it but I used pearls instead rhinestones. Is it not a lovely design?! IF you haven't seen her stuff or heard of her, seriously nice gal and awesome work! Go check it out!


A few weeks ago I went into Michaels and saw some really cute tiny pot with fabric flowers (very similar to the one I made in the photo) and they were around five to ten dollars, I thought it was too much for the size of the item. I figured I could make something myself, bigger, and to go in Cali's room. I had some felt, pots, and some other fabric and such at home just laying around so I gathered them up, cut out some cardstock hearts and a leaf shape with my Silhouette in different sizes. After some tracing, cutting, stitching, painting, and gluing. I slapped some foam into the pot, threw in some rose ribbon as grass and I had my own flower a lot bigger then the ones in Michaels and for free!


I am working on painting a canvas for the den and then have an idea for one for my bedroom that I will get to when I get the chance. For now it is here a little there a little. So until then, I have homework to do and finish reading a book for book club. Ciao, for now.
