Some Past projects...
Here are a few projects that I have completed a while ago but never shared here... I'm sharing them now mostly because I am testing my new template... so here goes:
This is a dress I made for a friends baby girl last year... the fabric is from Heather Bailey, I can't remember the pattern but if you want to know- I'll look it up- just leave a comment.
This is part of a "feature" wall in my daughters room. She loves fashion, so when we found these prints at Z gallerie I knew they would work in her room (btw... since z gallerie is going out of biz these are on clearance now). I had the quote cut from vinyl.
This is an "organizational" project I have yet to perfect. This is our mud room. The purpose of these clipboards is to hold any notes, permission slips, homework sheets etc.. for each of the kids. I hung them from some stars I had left over from our last house. The top sheet is their chore chart... 1 check for each thing they do each week... then payment for total # of checks. It works great when we remember to keep it up- keeping it up is usually the problem.Our mudroom is set for a "revamp" in the next few weeks, so these will have to move... we will see where they "end up". I have loved having them as a 'catch all' for the kids papers so I am going to try to keep them.
I'm workin' on it...
I'm updating my links to the side, if you are not included and would like to be, just leave me a comment I'll add you... and I'd love to be added to your link list.

Clockface for YW theme...

At church we have an annual theme for the youth programs. The one this year is a scripture from 1 Timothy.
I work with the teenage girls at church and our group of leaders wanted something for them to put in their rooms this year to remind them of the theme. We came up with the idea of a clock... We purchased cheap clocks at IKEA, and I am, as we speak in the process of spray painting the frames black. Then we will use scrapbook paper for the face. (I'll post a finished picture)
One of the other leaders came over last week and we were able to come up with a design for the clock face that I am so excited about that I thought I would share. We are going to print it on a transparency film then "embellish" it up to make it cute.
**** Also... since the image is copyrighted by 2P's and Heidi Swapp please don't copy the image to your harddrive... but feel free to use the "idea" you can buy the fonts at http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/ and the clock digital image at http://www.heidiswapp.com/

Valentines Banner



Last week I made this banner for Valentines day... The "bases" are an image from the Cricut Storybook cartridge, set at 5.5" and the pattern paper is cut to 4x6... The letters are 4" from the same cricut cartridge.
I was able to go through my "stash" to get stuff to make it and ended up using some paper that I bought at Costco ages ago... I love when I can use stuff that I have had laying around for a while.
It's pretty easy to assemble, I did put eyelets in the upper corners to help the paper from tearing.

Scrapbook Calendar...
Each page has a calendar for that month and a place for a photo and journaling. The idea I had was to have her take a picture that represented that month and at the end of the month jot down some thoughts/feelings for that month so by her next birthday she would have a keepsake of that year of her life.
All supplies, Close to My Heart
