Hello everyone - here is another design team project for The Piece By Piece.  I created this 12 x 12 layout using these adorable pictures of my husband playing "Tea Party" with our granddaughter.  I used the Mint Green, Navy Blue and gray color palette.

And, here is the video:

Canvas Created for a Friend

Well, it has been a while since my last post.  We spent two weeks in Ecuador with my sister and brother-in-law.  I was able to give my sister-in-law her muslin roll for her 50th birthday and she absolutely loved it.  Since then I have been trying to play catch up.

Here is a 6 x 6 canvas I created for a friend of mine who recently had surgery.  I decoupaged a napkin over the canvas, added glossy accents for the bird's eye and then added some of Beverly's gorgeous trims from The Piece By Piece and some flowers:

Here is my design team project for February for The Piece By Piece:

I created a Muslin Roll for my sister-in-law's 50th Birthday.  We will be in Ecuador with her on her 50th birthday and I wanted to take her a homemade gift (she has always loved handmade gifts) but it needed to be small since we have to pack light.  I took two strips of muslin that were approx. 3" wide by 50" long and sewed pieces of  laces and trims from The Piece By Piece.  I also stitched a vintage measuring tape across the top so I would have 50".  I then sewed both pieces together - leaving the frayed edges out.  I then embellished each sides with pictures from Julie's 50 years.  It was perfect because aren't our lives like little pieces of this and that stitched together to make life.  I printed the pictures out on fabric paper so they would be flexible when the roll was rolled up.  The links to the items I used from The Piece by Piece, the store and my video are all below:

Heart Shaped Easel Cards and Gift Wrapping

I had to hurry up and make the cards and wrap the bottles that I showed on my last post.  My oldest daughter was going to visit my youngest daughter and I wanted her to take them with her.  So, I made them each an heart shaped easel card and wrapped their bottles up in boxes.  I didn't have time to take individual pictures, but here is the video of the cards and gift wrapping:

Have a lovely day,
Hugs,

I'm back with another Valentine's Day project.  I decorated some glass jars I purchased from Michaels.  They are long and narrow and have a glass fleur des lis at the top.  I wrapped a picture that I colorized in Printshop and printed on Watercolor paper around the jar.  I added beautiful WOC products to decorate the jars:

At the top and bottom of each paper piece I added some Guipure lace from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I made the corset using rivets and then Vintage Seam Binding from Wild Orchid Crafts laced through the rivets.  I decorated the sides with silk ribbon, pearl sprays, flowers and charms - mostly from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I filled the jars with candies that matched the color schemes.
See the video for the project:

BUD-136 Deep Ivory Hip Rosebuds

Video of project:

Well, I'm finally getting around to starting a blog.  Still have a lot of work to do on it but I am going to go ahead and just jump in.  I have had a YouTube account for over a year now and have posted several videos but sometimes it is just nice to read a blog:  I created an altered gum box for my granddaughter for Valentine's Day:
