Altered Dress Form

Good Morning Everyone!

I wanted to share with you a dress form that I altered.  CreativeKelly4rmCali was hosting a contest for reaching 1000 subbies to her youtube channel.  This is the first contest that I have ever done.  Everyone that entered the contest did a fab job!  Good luck everyone!!!  So, without further ado......meet Jacqueline.  I know you're thinking...who is Jacqueline???  Some of the ladies that participated in the contest, named their dress forms.  My daughter also thought it would be cool to name her.  She came up with the name....which also happens to be the name of one of my favorite aunts.  :-)   I hope you like her.









Thanks for looking.  Have a great day!

Envelope mini albums

Hi Everyone, I want to share with you 2 mini albums that I did a couple of months ago.  Kathy, from Paper Phenomenon, did some youtube videos on creating an envelope mini album about 3 months ago.  When I finished watching the series, I wanted to make one.  Well....making 1 album actually turned into me making 2 albums.  I really love how they turned out.  Thanks for watching!

Twilight Fanatic

Hello.  My daughter is a HUGE Twilight fan.  I know she has read the series at least 4 times over and seen all of the movies more times than I care to admit.  She has to have every magazine that she sees is Twilight related.  So, with her being a huge fan, when Joanns came out with the twilight inspired paper, I bought a couple of the Immortal Love paper stacks a while back but wasn't quite sure what I would do with it.  Then about 2 months ago, I realized that I could use Kathy's (from Paper Phenomenom) mini album tutorial from Ustream for her Valentines day project, He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not.  It turned out great!  I love the papers in this stack.  Video and pics below.  Thanks for looking!

Wordbook - 1st year anniversary

Hi Everyone!  A coworker of mine saw some wordbooks that I had created for another coworker.  He asked if I could make one for him to give to his wife for their 1st year anniversary. 

I created the wordbook in DS using the Mickey font and Walk in my garden.  I used the BIA to bind the book.  On the Cricut message board, I saw a wordbook that a lady had done for her son's graduation and she wrote a letter to him and included it in her wordbook.  I thought that was a great idea and wanted to include it here with this one.  So, I asked my coworker to write a letter to his wife so that it could be included in the wordbook.  I think it turned out great!  He said his wife and his mother-in-law loved it.  Thanks for looking.

Wedding Flowers

Hi Everyone!  This past summer, a friend asked me to make the flowers for her sister's wedding.  The colors for the wedding were red and yellow and she wanted calla lily's.  Since the calla lily's needed some support, I suggested roses.  Below are pics of the flowers for the entire wedding along with the wishing well.  The flowers were purchased from Michaels; the ribbon from Joanns; the sprays and corsage wristlets from Hobby Lobby; and the wishing well from Joanns.

Baby Wipe Cases

One night while surfing blogs, I ran across a lady who had blinged out a baby wipe case to give to a friend as a gift.  It was WAY cute.  She went on to say that she found the instructions of how to decorate the case on youtube.  So...I went to youtube, watched some videos (there are quite a few videos out there), and tried it myself.  The end result is very pretty.  I've given some away as gifts and they are always a hit.
