Hello, Happy Monday...

This weekend I was able to make something! This is a play off a Valentine love signs I did last year, I thought I would do a Halloween version(and soon a Christmas one). The signs are double-sided with a different version on each side. It has a modern clean look, I really want to make a few more! I also made the skull/butterfly banner last week.

MFT's Guest Day 2.

.[mft guest day 2].

Today-I have a more Christmas cards featured on the MFT's blog. I have to say that I really loved using the tags die-the pierced border detail really makes the tag for me! I will be using that on a regular basis for so many other projects. After making so many Christmas cards I am now in holiday project making mode! I finally dabbled with making the chalkboard look on some cards & tags(I'll share that next week). 

Have a great weekend...

.[new cards. new dies.].

Last night I made two new cards with two new dies-the butterfly and the hexagons. I bought the hexagons for a project that called for them and then I did these cards for fun. The butterfly-I am always trying to find cool butterfly shapes & sizes. I thought I wouldn't use the body piece-now I kinda of like it.

.[some Easter].

Here is another stained wood egg-with some pearls, rhinestones, and a bit of gold string. A few months ago I made these rabbits out of clay-this is how far I got. I am not sure if I want to finish them more than they are-I am afraid of doing something all wrong! I think they are sweet as is, or are they?!

a Valentine-layout?

.[new LAYOUT].

It has been a long-long time since I have done a layout. For my TCD dt blog post today I thought I would do a layout-to ease myself back into that side of my creativity, lol. I knew I wanted to have a few hearts popping off my page-so I stitched them vertically down on my page. I went from 8.5x11 to 12x12 by adding the white pattern paper-I had intended for this to be a 8.5x11! But it didn't feel right so I went bigger. I used TCD's Stationary Noted line for this page-a perfect line for Valentine projects.

valentine decor.

.[potted hearts].

This year I wanted to make all of my Valentine decorations-and I did! These potted hearts I did last weekend-the larger hearts were meant to be a album...I had to find ways to cover the ring holes in them. They also came covered with canvas. I have been trying to use the red/pink ribbon for over a year-it's from a Loft shopping bag...and I have more!

.[new bow].

I made a pretty pink bow-tie for Lulu. I had to snap a photo of her wearing it, she is so chic. The next photo cracks me up-she LOVES peanut butter. Her tongue looks fake-but it's not...
