Stick Pins...

Hi!  Sorry for being away for awhile...  Had a lot of drama in my life.  I wanted to post one of the stick pin packages and pins that I did for a swap hosted by Susie Q. on CardMakers.  This is my first attempt at making so many!  I loved doing them and can't wait to see what I get from all the creative ladies in return.  Thanks in advance everyone :)
Here is the package that I created to hold them.  I used the new die Seed Packet from Papertrey Ink .  I love it!!!  It makes the cutest holder.  I used Tim Holtz new stamp set "Haberdashery" and created the labels, cut some cute little flowers with some fabric I picked up yesterday in the interfacing section at JoAnns. I added a brad and used distress ink and a sweet paper doily, a feather and whala...

 Now the back...

I added another two of Tim Holtz stamped images, added buttons some twine and closed it up...

For the pin holder I stamped an image cut it out added a tag at the top and used some felt to hold them in place.  We made 4 stick pins each for everyone in our group so if you see this then you'll know what you are getting...LOL.
Now the package!!! I used a glassine bag from Papertrey Ink added a die cut envie a little card with my name on it and there you have it!!! Wow this was a lot of work but I love how this all turned out...

Thanks so much for stopping by and come back soon...
Hugs and blessing...

Sunny Days "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Welcome to the Sunny Days "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Blog Hop.  I am so glad you stopped by.  If you arrived from Golda's blog wasn't her cards great? If you did then your on the right path if not hop on over to the Lora's blog which is the beginning of the hop so you won't miss any of the fabulous creations all the ladies have done.
The theme of the blog hop is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Each blog hostess has been assigned a color. At the end of the rainbow is a link to your pot of gold! Be sure to click the link so you can join us in the Card Swaps forum for challenges, games, fun, and prizes!! It's sure to be a lot of fun.
I was assigned the color orange I was really surprised... and to tell you the truth... scared to get the color ORANGE!

I used my nesties and stacked them three high with pop dots but the picture doesn't show this to well...  I stamped the peach and saying in a darker orange so it would show up.  I cute a flower out of Crinoline with the Tim Holtz flower die from Sizzix's, hand died the seam binding and fabric with SU ink.  The borders are EK Sucess and the top one is Spellbinders.  I added a handmade stick pin just for a little more bling.  It's a pretty simple card and I hope you like it!!!

Challenge Card at CardMakers

Just a quick post this morning showing my card I did for the challenge at CardMakers this week hosted by Lora.  The theme was to simplify, using only card stock and no designer paper.  This was a challenge for me as I love my designer paper soooo much.  I think I pulled it off though with the lattice and the use of my paper flowers that I made.  What do you think? :)

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.  This was my first attempt with a lattice card.  Not as hard as I thought it would be to make.
Thanks for stopping by,,,

How about something New!!!

I have so neglected my blog...  It just seems to be on the back burner lately.  I miss being on a design team because I use to post so often...  Well I do do the challenges at CardMakers so I will post a few cards that I have done for them.  My first one is for a sketch challenge hosted by Golda.  It was a little different but a great one...

Hope you like it.  It was so fun to do.  I used some old die cuts to make the shoe and added little pink rinestones for the buttons.  The flower has two bottom layers with some organzia, crocheted flower, burlap flower, and a butterfly on top.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you come back soon...
