GONE FISHING



I have had so much fun creating this layout to sell on Ebay. This layout has tons of sewing, hand paper pieced items and embellishing.

My little "Girly-girl"!

Every year my daughters preschool has "playtown". This is a special week that the kids get to experience many different activities.

I can never get Jordyn to keep anything in her hair but on this day she let one of the mom's that was working in the "Salon" give her quite a do.

This is a picture of her showing daddy her new style!

Hanging Picture Frame


Hanging Foundry Frame

This adorable project is so fun to do and takes very little time.

CTMH Products needed:

One Foundry Metal Frame
Designer Chocolate Ribbon Rounds
Two Col. White Edge Anchors
Adhesive

Cut the small flower ribbon to desired length (depending on how you want to hang it). Take one end of the ribbon and loop it from the back of the frame to the front (twisting the ribbon slightly in the back so the pattern remains exposed). Secure with one Col. White Edge Anchor. Repeat for the other end of the ribbon.

Cut a 5” length of the word ribbon, making sure that the desired words will line up on the front of the frame. Once you have adhesive on this ribbon, secure it to the front of the frame and wrap the extra ribbon around each side.

Secure photo to the back.

Teacher Appreciation Gift

by Laura Larsen

This was some much fun to make.

I cut the flowers on my Cricut using Walk in my Garden and Accent Essentuals. The flowers are all approx. 1 3/4" - 2 1/4" in size. The leaves are all 1".

I ran some of the flowers and leaves through my Cuttlebug to emboss them.

I used some of my favorite products from Close To My Heart for this project:
  1. Boom-Di-Ada Level 2 Paper Packet
  2. Textured CS (for the leaves)
  3. Delta Ceramcoat paint and Garden Green re-inker (to paint the wooden skewers)
  4. Doodle Alphabet Stamp Set
  5. White Hemp
  6. Absolutely Charming (Connections Club reward item)
  7. Bigger Brads (Autumn Harvest Collection)
  8. Natural Twill Ribbon
  9. Buttercup Marker (for accents)
  10. Black Stamp Pad
  11. Liquid Glass
I purchased the tin bucket at the $1 spot at Target. I used green planters foam to stick the flowers in and then covered that with brown shredded paper - both purchased at my local Dollar Store.
