Origins



Here's a quilt I made for my friends birthday today! I used a Jelly Roll from Basic Grey called Origins. And since most of my previous posts are paper craft related, I thought it was so neat to discover that Basic Grey made fabric the same as their paper! I followed a pattern from 3dudes quilting called "Strip it" and since this is only my 3rd completed quilt, I did make a few mistakes, but I still like how it turned out.

I did it again!

This quilt I made for my six year old son. It's called the disappearing 9-patch and it was for the second lesson in the online quilting course I'm taking through Craftsy.com The course is called "Quilting Quickly" and I'm sure enjoying it :)

My first ever quilt!

I have all my card making stuff packed away because we're doing renovations right now, but I still needed to do something crafty, so I thought I'd try my hand at quilting. I signed up for an online class and here's the result of my first lesson. I enjoyed it so much, I'm already well into lesson two, so hopefully I'll get that one done and posted soon :) This quilt is for my 2 year old daughter.

180 Movie

I know I haven't posted in a while and almost all my posts are craft related, however I just wanted to make a quick post to share this movie with you all since I believe it sends a powerful message about an issue that I feel strongly about. Please take a moment to watch it if you haven't seen it yet, but I wouldn't recommend watching it with young children as there are some disturbing images. http://www.180movie.com/

Grad Card for my Cousin

Here's a card I made for my cousin's graduation. I used an Edwin stamp from Magnolia-licious, which is actually called Groom Edwin, but I thought he made a great graduation card. I also entered him into this week's Shopping Our Stash challenge to use, Red, Roses or Ribbon.

Happy Birthday to my Brother-in-law


I made this card for my brother-in-law for his birthday. I used this Spesch stamp called Birthday Boy Unwrapped, which you can find some of these cute stamps still in my store, Paper Jewels, for super cheap, as I'm closing out.

Nurse Abigail

My sister-in-law has been in the hospital, so I decided to make her a card using this adorable Abigail stamp from PaperWorks Co. I also played along in one of their sketch challenges (#92) while I was at it.

What do you think? I need opinions!





I've been busy making these headbands for my girls and I am enjoying it so much, that I thought maybe I should start making a bunch to sell at trade shows. Before I jump into that though, I want opinions on whether or not you would stop and want to buy any of these if you saw them at a trade show and if you feel that $5.00 would be a fair price for each. Don't worry about being honest, I want to know your thoughts! :)

Thanks so much for your help!

PWCO Colour Challenge # 5

This was the first card and my favorite of the ones I made for the PaperWorks Challenges. This one was made using Janet's colour choices of blue and white. I used one of the Rachelle Anne Miller stamps called Flaky Friends.
