Still not quite Spring...

Still a little chilly here, but we have been teased with 70's for a few days!  I am hopeful that we will at least have no more snow!!

I have another egg to share, this one is on a paper mâché egg.  It is for my aunt...she broke the last real one!!  

Happy Spring!!

Well here in the Midwest they say it is Spring, but I'm not sure I believe them! 

Still a little chilly here and a few snow flurries in the last couple days.

Anyway...I have been "Thinking Spring!"...and wanted to share a little chicken egg with you.  I used the Punch Bunch Rose/Begonia punch;  I like the way the flower came out! 

Eggs are a great canvas for decorating and they are sort of a "recycle" project...gotta love that!

Wedding Invitations

Hello everyone,

I have had a request to share a couple of pictures of wedding invitation shadow boxes that I have made.  These are so fun to make!

This last picture is a graduation announcement. 

You can do wedding invitations, graduation announcements, birth announcements, First Communion or Confirmation certificates...whatever you would put into a frame!!

Have a great day and find some time to craft!!

I hang my head...

I  am a bad blog mom!  Sorry there have been no posts since Christmas.  

With my record I need to catch up, so how about something for Valentine's Day! 

I found this glittered styrofoam heart at either Michael's or Hobby Lobby and it looked naked so I dressed it up!

A few punched roses and leaves, then some little fringed "button" flowers from 1/8" quilling strips, next a couple of fringed flowers from 1/4" strips.  To top it off some die cut hearts, a stamped "Be Mine" sentiment  and a bow.  

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!!

Quilling Kits

Hi everyone!

I was at Hobby Lobby the other day, turned around and was surprised to see these...

They are very cute and great beginner kits or if you just need the paper for another project!

Take time to Quill!

Hi!  I know it has been a bit since my last post... :-/ sorry.  Things have definitely gotten in the way.  

I did want to share a little creation that I made for my niece's birthday.  

I got one of those (laser?) cut wood frames from Michael's, some black plastic needle point canvas, small roping & an easel.  

Turquoise, black & white to match her room!  

I added a punched white rose, two fringed flowers and a bit of green leaves on each corner to dress it up and add a little girly-ness.  I think she liked it!

Don't forget to use some spray sealer on the flowers if you make one.  I also added the roping to the edge of the canvas to finish off the backside. I used Crafter's Pick glue to attach the canvas & roping.  This glue is great to glue different surfaces together.
