Little Pink Dress..........Literally!

My Daughter has been pestering me to make a whole bunch of things for her lately. I got busy last weekend on her most important one as she called it. That was a dress for one of her Barbies. I looked around and barbie dress patterns are pretty expensive for such a little doll. Not wanting to disappoint or have to wait for the sales I decided to have a go all by myself. How hard can it be, right?

Turns out not that hard at all. I used some remnants from her Halloween dress and a pretty ribbon I had picked up at Hobby Lobby. When she saw it she was over the moon and the doll now goes everywhere with her. What more thanks did I need? Well, the huge hug that accompanied it was worth it too. It made me all warm and fuzzy inside to see how pleased she was with it.

Thanks for looking

And The First Card Goes Too.......

Drum roll please...............................My Mum. Yeah!!!!!.

Seems fitting that the first card I make in 2011 is for my mum.

She has a love of carousel horses so when Chrissy Armstrong started drawing them for Whimsy stamps it was only a matter of time till I got myself some. Actually I got this particular image ages ago and printed it off almost as long ago and it has been sitting on my desk waiting for my mojo to kick in.

Finally I got some sit down time in my craft room and I am happy to announce the brain did kick into gear there for a while and this is the finished card. It is on it's way as I type and I am really excited to hear her thoughts.

Thanks for looking

A Few Extra Presents

Hello there, just popping on to show you a couple of things I managed to make towards the end of last year. I thought you might like to know and see that I did not completely give up crafting at the end of last year. I made some little goodies for teachers and friends.

The pencil holders were for our friends the Baer's girls. The pattern was pretty simple to pull together. The flower embellishments were from a pack my mum sent me from Wales. The DP was left over from scrapbooking school pages.

The goody bags contain 2 of my favorite chocolates. The top is made from the versatile top note die which I then ran back through my cuttlebug with an embossing plate. The sentiment is from the SU set Punches Three which I heat embossed and then scallop punched out and mounted with dimensionals.

My Craft room has gone under a little rearranging this weekend thanks to the purchase of a new table. My fingers are once again itching to create something, I haven't felt that for a while. Many thanks to those who stuck by me. I should have something new to show you very soon.

Thanks for looking

Happy New Year

Hey there Everyone.

I am still here! Just in case you were wondering. LOL. I haven't posted very much over the holidays as we went away for Christmas to Walt Disney World. We had an awesome time and I thought I would post a few photo's here for you to see. I caught a cold just before coming home so am a little under the weather but I will be back to crafting very soon. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and didn't eat too much. Happy New Year!!!

Hugs
