Lace Book

This is my 2nd Lace Book. I used an image from the paper line by Pion Design called "From Grandma's Attic-tinted". Wild Orchid Craft roses and the tiny grey flowers are by Prima. The crochet flower and burlap flowers are handmade. The flowers on the side of the Lace Book are also Prima. I followed a tutorial on YouTube.

Handmade Card

This is one of my handmade cards that I made to go with a box that I altered for a challenge on YouTube. I used an image from a paper line by Pion Design, called "From Grandma's Attic - tinted". I then put some stickles on the flowers on the hat and on the lace color, just for dimension. I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Altered Notebook with Prima Doll Stamp

I altered a notebook with one of the Prima Doll stamps. I first stamped it on cardstock and cut it out. I then stamped it again on fabric, for the top, skirt and headband. I love using these stamps. Reminds me of when I was young and loved playing with paper cutout dolls and the paper clothing.

Raggady Rag Doll

Hi everyone!
Sorry, I haven't posted anything in a while, been busy with work and every time I want to post some new project, I always seem to say to myself, tomorrow is another day, I will do it then. Honestly, who I am kidding! Anyways, I decided to post today. I have been watching Bianca4430 on Youtube and her wonderful tutorials on making Raggady Rag Dolls and I got hooked. So I went out and bought the fabrics I needed and last night started on the doll and today, I finished the doll. Haven't decided on a name yet. For my first attempt at making a rag doll, I have to say, I think that she turned out pretty darn nice! I have other dolls in the making and will post the pictures when they are finished.

Update

Hello, I just wanted to put a little note up saying that I have been neglecting to keep up my blog, but I promise that I will be uploading some pictures of some items that I have recently been working on. Stay tuned and thanks!
