Handmade Napkins and Memory Wire Napkin Rings

These are so fun to make!!  I really like the material and I think they could be for any season or occasion.  I made them reversible so one side is red with the print border and the other side has a solid red border.  It took me a couple of  "experiments" before I came up with a design that was easy yet looked finished.  I found the matching beads at Joann's ( the green blue pearls) on sale for 1.97...don't you love a bargain.  I really have a ton of beads but these matched perfect.  The napkin rings are on memory wire.  I need to work with this more as it is quite fun and very fast.

Vintage ATC....Central collage swap

The challenge on this ATC swap was to make the center of the ATC the focus.  You had to leave a substantial amount of the white card showing.  This was WAY HARD for me.  LOL.  I wanted so bad to add a border, color, distressing etc.  I ended up running this through the vagabond for the background.  It is still white...so I didn't cheat!

D is for Dream. Rolodex swap continues

Very interesting interpretations of  "Dream".  I really enjoyed the variety.

Distressed Flowers

This is a card using the very last of my favorite SU paper from the mini catalog.  I just love the brown background and the flowers.  Very vintage wallpaper feel.  I thought I would enter this this the Simon Says Stamp and Paper Pals as it has both distressing and flowers.  Why Not??

Cloe Helping

My kitten Cloe helps me craft all the time.  Yesterday morning she had a roll of adhesive dots unrolled all the way down the hall...just in case I needed them!  Here she is today helping me take pictures.

Cloe is over six months old now...she is getting so long and lean.  If she grows into her tail she will be a good sized cat.

Upcycled Used ribbon spool

I saw this idea somewhere in my online travels.  I used up the last of a spool of ribbon and I remembered this great box idea.  It works perfect for jewelry or other small gift.  Very fun to make too.  I used the Spellbinders flower for the top.  You can use any top the key is the firm spool portion.  I think the inside done with a flocking would be nice as well.

Box all tied up

Don't you think flocking would look great too?

More SU fun

Our new club for Stampin Up started Tuesday.  Such fun!! I really liked all the ideas and great company as usual.

This is such a great idea for a basket.  The cupcake bottom and the regular oval then over-punched with a scallop oval

Close up of the basket.  I thought the hearts were a cute idea too.
