Ribbons and Tags

I was trying to use some of my ribbon that I never seem to use. I just recently made a ribbon rack that I can hang up. Now I can see all my ribbon and it is easy to just cut off what you need. My ribbon drawer was just a mess!
Another dollar store flower. The tag in the middle is from Office Max with some paper mounted on it. My Creative Memories circle cutter cuts circles the perfect size for the silver rimmed tags.

Three Bags

Bekah's Bag. I lined this one with a floral fabric. There are pockets on the inside, a big one and one for pencils and smaller things.
My favorite one. I'm going to use this for my craft stuff when I have to go somewhere.
This one is for my Activity Days stuff. The floral print is from a scarf I bought at Goodwill! I made the handles a little longer on my two bags and added some pockets on the inside. once I got going these bags were easy.

More Silver!

These were fun to make. I made a template out of chipboard for the tag shaped cards. It is so fun to work with a different shape!

Wedding Cards

I LOVE the LOVE card. It is silver textured paper and silver chipboard letters and details, tied with a silver cord, of course! The other one has some silver chipboard detailing on it as well along with raised pearl stickers that I found at the dollar store. Can you tell I have a can of silver spray paint I'm trying to use up?!

Flower Power

I don't know why I never thought of this before. I bought some cheap silk flowers at the dollar store and pulled them apart to put on cards. You can get a lot of flowers for not a lot of money this way. There were even some flowers there that had a velvety coating on them, they looked pretty good, I wish I had gotten some more of those now.

The paper crafting continues...

I made these this winter and am just now getting them posted. I have been making cards a lot lately. It is such a rewarding creative release for me. I need it. It is so great to actually finish a few projects. There is a sense of satisfaction that comes from finishing a project.
I just love the card with the four scraps of paper and the heart. This one just fell together and worked. I love it when that happens. Thank you Jen for introducing me to cardmaking!

Tie

I finally got back to sewing! I made the ties I had posted about earlier. They were pretty easy. Now that I've done it once I feel confident that I will do it again when I find fabric that I really like. I did change a few construction aspects of the pattern, but overall it went well and I finally learned how to tie a tie!
