Good morning! Is everyone ready for food, family and football this week!? I know I am!
We'll be going to Chad's grandparents' on Thursday and then my parents on Friday and Saturday. I have 4 pies in the freezer ready to be baked and enjoyed. It has definitely cooled off here and now feels more like winter than fall, which has provided me with a lot more time indoors to do crafty things.
Remember that i-rock and apron that I showed you? I won Imaginisce's little package of goodies so that I could bling out one of their aprons and then show all of you! So without further chit chat, here is my i-rock apron, a-la-Christy!!
I loved the pink that was already on the apron but I also love teal, so I added that bright teal flower and some teal jewels to make a swirl on the pocket! I also wanted my apron to be a little bit shorter so I chopped off the bottom, rounded the corners and sewed on this adorable pleated ribbon.
Here's a close up of the details. The black and white flowers are handmade tweed flowers (made by me!). I just added some of the clear jewels to the middle with the i-rock! I had some white Imaginisce flowers in my flower jar, so I made this little white flower by folding and layering a few petals!
There you have it, my blinged out apron! I had so much fun playing with the i-rock tool that I have a few more projects that I will be sharing soon! Have a great Tuesday!
The other weekend when I was scrapping with a friend all afternoon, I decided to pull out all my Imaginisce product and just play! I had some Lucy Bird paper left and I wanted to try to make something cute for my flowergirl next July. I found this cute die cut gift bag on the Plantin cricut cartridge and made this cute circle bag for her gifts that I will get her!
I had some Splash Dance paper leftover too but mostly it was just scraps from other projects and a few pieces here and there of the chipboard, stickers and rub-ons. I made this cute little Birthday card with the chipboard octopus and blue fish ribbon!
Finally, I had just bits and pieces of patterned paper left from the Splash Dance collection and some bubble rub-ons that I knew would go great with the pictures I had of Mya playing with bubbles in the front yard. I put a few jewels on the bubble rub-ons and then used some other rub-ons I had to make my hand journaling a little more fun. Even though the papers were ocean themed, they worked great for this page!
Thanks so much for checking out my Imaginisce filled weekend of projects!!!
It is WINDY!!! wow! I might venture out this afternoon but first I wanted to share with you what I've been working on this weekend. This is a layout for the Two Peas crops with the requirement to use 4 or more pictures. I used Imaginisce Lucy Bird and lots of cute pictures of Mya playing when she was a puppy.
Unfortunately, I ran out of adhesive so until I'm in town tomorrow, I won't be able to scrap anymore this weekend! Hope everyone is having a relaxing and creative weekend!
It's beautiful here today and the guys are out harvesting which means that I'm getting all kinds of stuff done around the house and getting to work on my crafty to-do list! I'm just taking a little break to show you some layouts that definitely have the sunshine thing going on! Both of these pages are from our May 2009 trip to the Bahamas.
