Hi Everyone! Thank you for hopping with us. It's works out well that our patriotic hop landed on Father's Day. My husband, who is an amazing Daddy, was also in the Army and we have lots of military stuff in our house. I wanted to make him a special gift for Father's Day. I saw something like this on How Does She, but I tweaked it and made it my own style.

I placed my wood cutting order with my dad :) he keeps his scrap wood so he can build me stuff. He actually screwed the 2 pieces of wood together for stability. I painted it with paint from Home Depot. It is wall paint but it was cheaper than craft paint. I used red and blue paper and then the middle star section is fabulous star mesh from Pinque Peacock, and I just put plain white behind it to make it stand out. I added the thickers letters and then some twine. I added some clothes pins and some buttons from  my stash and the final touch was a large fabric covered button from Punque Peacock. That is my project...

Wooden notepad holder

Hello :)

Today was my day to share at Pinque Peacock. I made this notepad holder. 

I was inspired by an email from How Does She. It was for a Father's Day present and it got me search for wood scrap projects. I'll find the link and post it. 

Anyway, I got my dad to search his scraps, he sanded the edges slightly and drilled a hole for the pen. Then I painted it pink with a Ranger paint Dauber.  I used the Echo Park Love Story collection for all the papers. I inked the edges and used my Xyron sticker maker. Then I added some twine and the little metal studs. The finishing touch was a large fabric button from Pinque Peacock.

Here is a different view

I love how it turned out. I just need to add a stack of post it notes and it's ready to go.  I will definitely be raiding the wood stack and making some more. Have a great week

Scrapbook Queen Royal challenge Teddy Bears

It's time for a new challenge at the Scrapbook Queens royal challenge blog. This month the challenge is teddy bears. The image is provided for you to grab and try out.

Here is my card.

I used my spectrum noir markers and dcwv paper from the cherry limeade collection. Come join the challenge.

Mother's Day Gifts

 

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day. I wanted to share some gifts we sent out for the moms.

  

 I had the names put on at a local embroidery shop. Then I made the flowers and sewed them on. Here are some close ups.

I heard from my Mother in law and she said she liked hers. I can't wait to see how my husband's stepmom likes hers. I love how they turned out. Hope you do too.

Baby shower thank you

My friend is pregnant and I wanted to help her out in the shower planning. I wanted to a small favor for the people who came.

These were easy and everybody enjoyed them. I used a stamp set to add the butterfly to the patterned paper because her nursery is butterfly themed. 

Happy birthday Mia

My daughter was invited to a birthday party and I always like to do a little something special for birthdays. So here is what I created.

I have used a predone tote bag and added her name. I used flannel and heat and bond. I just cut the letters out by hand, ironed them on and sewed around them.

Here is a close up

Then the pillowcase matches the bag. I enjoy making these. I can't wait for more bday parties. You will definitely see more bags in the future.

Sweet hugs and kisses

Hi Everyone :)  I hope you are all having a great week. It was my day to share at Pinque Peacock. I have a fun redo project to share.  

 This started out as a frame I bought when Archiver's was closing and I recreated it and here it is.

I painted it black. I used the acrylic paint from Ranger that comes with the paint dauber attached. It was a really clean way to paint. I used paper from Echo Park.

My angel pin from Pinque Peacock is the perfect touch for my picture holder. 

I hope you like it I love how it turned out. The biggest pain was putting each individual bling on the paper but it was worth it.

Have a great week.
