I Want One...

A few weeks ago, well actually months ( my time flies) I made a red purse for my daughter for her birthday. The neighbours little girl was here and said "I Want one". I then asked her when her birthday was and it was this month. I told he rperhaps she would get one for her birthday.

Time was getting close now and the kids were finally back in school ( I get nothing done with the kids out for summer break) I chose a pattern and then actually decided on this pattern instead. I altered it slightly, as I typically do. It is a small clutch/over the shoulder style purse.

The pattern I used was from Blue Calla - the Gerbera Mini Crossbody Bag.
I did not do the gusset bottom.

Inside I did a small zippered side pocket and added a little dragonfly charm to the pull.

The back is pretty plain.

 I die cut some fabric into flower layers and added a rivet to attach to the outside for fun. The shoulder strap is removable.

She did get it in time for her birthday, unfortunately I was not there to see her reaction, but her mom said she liked it and so did she.

Have a creative day,

SEW Lovely Mini Album

I am sew excited to share this lovely mini album with you.
It has been created for an upcoming class at a local crop.
The die shape is from Accucut craft - Sewing Machine and is so fun to work with.

There are five pages with a flip up on the cover.

I hope you enjoy this project as uch as I enjoyed making it.

When I saw the Sew Lovely paper from Carte Bella, I just kne wit was perfect for this album.

I made the cover have this flip up because it just seemed to work with the layout. Reminds me too how you have to open parts on your machine to oil or thread.

The remaining pages are filled with pockets and tags and fun embellishments.

I was also able to use another Accucut die-Sew Cute

I haven't posted all the pages but you can check out the video to see the whole album below.


Thanks for checking it out.

Paper Pumpkins-Totally Cased

After seeing these made in a post on the Graphics 45 Blog, I just had to try one of my own. Well, one turned into four. They are so quick and easy and look so adorable.

You can check out the post here

there is a video tutorial for several halloween pumpkins. I have started the book one and hope to finish it today.

My neice came over the next day and wanted to make one as well, so fun.

hope you enjoyed this post and maybe give these a try...you can vary the size but changing the length of the paper. I used 5",6", 7"

Thanks,

Pretty New Flowers

I was playing with my flowers dies and some new materials. This flower is made from the tissue like paper that is in sewing pattern package.

They are super fast and fun to make. I made all the ones you see in this post in just a few minutes.

I added some I Am Roses bloom to the centers of a few.

I really like the look with the flower centers.

This one is my favorite because I like natural colors the best.

Hope you enjoyed this idea..

Thanks,
