TORNADOES

I have never in my life seen anything like the storms that came through the cities of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham today. F-5 strong tornadoes that were over a mile wide. Most of our state has no power and its getting dark and there are more storms to come.  Please pray for those families who have lost their homes and much more....

Cheesy Easy Easter Cards!

I just got my first order of Peachy Keen Stamps and this was my first try using them on this one card.I do not know how to make them look great yet ( but I am working on that ) If you have some pointers that would be SO helpful.

Of course I used Create a critter:)

I love Stickles and I put a cotton ball on his tail:)

Vintage Aprons!

I found these way cool aprons at a yard sale in a box. Note the vintage dress form too:)

Here are 5 things about me

1. Crafting really frees my mind from stress without it I would lose my mind.
2. My favorite part of crafting comes at the end of a project     {The Details}
3. I enjoy making cards for family & friends but sometimes I forget to mail them. {I am working on that}
4. I don't have any animals not because I don't like them but I like having a Poop Free backyard.
5. I knew I was addicted to crafting when I choose to buy punches & paper over a pair of pumps.

Here are the 5 ladies that I am passing this award to.

I used Gypsy Font and some vinyl to make these cute bow holders as a gift. I got some plain wood at Michael's then I painted them pink and sprinkled glitter dust on them. Then I added the vinyl letters and the flourish and dragonfly from Gypsy wanderings. I bought the wooden butterfly at Michael's and glued them on. I used a sure bonder staple gun to attach the ribbon so it could hold weight .  This project was a lot of fun to make:)

Then I bought a letter G at Michael's and decided to make it a bow holder too.

create a critter is still my fav cart

SO here are just some of the cards I have made recently using this cart. All are made using scraps from my paper stash.

Here is a card that my daughter made using this cartridge. This was her first card she made with this cartridge:)

Personalized Gifts to go in a hurry:)

I was in a hurry to give a cute gift. So I whipped up a baby changing pad and matching baby wipe case and then I made a coordinating pillow. I also monogrammed the baby's name. Here are the pics before and after. (not in that order for some reason lol! But,, Hope you like them:)

Now I am getting into paper crafting and I LOVE L O V E it!!
