Pillowcase dress with bows




I love how this dress turned out! I just love the strawberry pattern! CJ is going to look so cute at storytime this week! Thanks for stopping by!

Hairbows













I had alot of fun making these for CJ. It was really easy too. I bought the dowels at Michaels and used regular clothes pins to hold the ends once the ribbon is wrapped around the dowels. You bake the ribbon on a cookie sheet covered in foil @275 for 25 minutes.(My oven is off so I used 250 for 20 minutes and it worked just fine.) Once they are cool just unwrap them and spray with starch. Once they were dry I cut them to the lenth I needed. For these I just cut after every eighth loop. I used fray check on the ends when I finished and I used cross stich floss to sew them together and then hot glued them to a covered alligator clip. The orange and black ones are for her soccer team and the rest are to match her outfits. Thanks for stopping by.

Doodle Dragon Studio's Sketch challenge.






I love challenges where you get to use a sketch. I have such a hard time coming up with them on my own. I flipped it on it's side so the littel elephant would fit. I need a few birthday cards this month so here's the first one that I've got done. I'm not sure who is getting it yet but now I'm one down and five to go! July is so busy for our family. Have a great day!

Happy 4th of July!



I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! We're going to grill out and me and the little one are going to make cupcakes. We aren't going to get to watch fireworks because it just doesn't get dark enough yet. We do however get to watch fireworks on Halloween! Living in Alaska is definitely an experience. I wouldn't change it for anything!

This first card is made with a digi stamp from the Digi Shack I used a stamp for the dollar section at Joann's and stamped on ribbon with versamark ink.



I like how simple this one is. I used the stars emboss folder and ribbon from Michael's.



These last two I totally cased! I loved them so much that I couldn't wait to make them. I Can not for the life of me remember where I saw these cards. I wish I could so I could thank her for the idea. I had to use different embossing folders for the stripes because I didn't have the ones she used on hand. I think I like the ones that has inked edges best.




Thanks for stopping by and have a great holiday!
