L is for leaves Rolodex

This is one of the few stamping projects I have accomplished while my quilting frenzy has taken over my crafting time.

I have been very busy quilting my fingers to the bone. When I initially started this Queen sized quilt I thought it was a good idea to hand quilt it LOL. By the time I realized what a big job it is...it was too late. In thix picture I am almost done, (please don't ask how long it has taken me). Need to finish up just around the edge a little and then bind it and VIOLA..done! It is a court house step variation and my youngest daughter picked out the fabric (when she was much younger LOL) and I think she did a great job.

Snow Tag

So....I watched with great envy and interest all the Tim Holtz tags over Christmas. There were so many talented artists that had time to follow this every day and create tags of their own. Well....I did not have time to create my own interpretations then but my friend Sunny came up with a year long project to stimulate our stamping mojo. We will take the tags and create one every month. I thought it was a great idea. We will be finished in time next year to start all over! LOL. Well....it took me about 4 hours to finally get this tag where I was happy with it. I have to say we didn't have alot of the supplies but we improvised. We used a spellbinder die for the pinecone. What great techniques we learned....Thanks TIM!!

I cut the letters from my cricut. The snowflakes are sparling white paper but didn't photograph well. Very fun. The pine branches are a Martha Stewart punch and the holly is an older punch Sunny had.

New Necklace

I bought these digital images on Ebay. They fit perfectly on scrabble tiles I also got on ebay. Very fun to play with. I thought I would add a few charms or bead to this as well.
