Paper Pieced Card

This is a Penny Black *Slapstick* stamp (sentiment is included) that I purchased yesterday at Scrapbookers Paradise.  

It's pretty cute and better still, it was on sale!

I thought it would be a good one for paper piecing, although some of the pieces are very small!  I popped up the picture and the sentiment, even remembered to do some stitching.

Something to Howl About!

Here's my latest card, another "thank you" for a couple of young guys who very kindly came over to cut our grass - all of it!

 (and we have lots of grass) 

 It's not the first time they have been there to help us and we appreciate it so much.

Here's a closer look at the howling hound!

This card is made with all digi images, which I love to use.

Knitted Bear Card

I  used several elements on this card.  I stitched around the edge, the teddy bear is paper pieced using a textured knit background I found online here.  For the feet, face, ears & heart I used a leather b/ground.  I was pleased with the way it turned out.  I used my  Memory Mixers program.  I got the idea from this tutorial video, so wanted to give it a try.  I also added some flowers, which I crocheted recently.

My New Ribbon Storage +

The other day I posted what I thought was a great idea to store ribbon spools, go here to see what it was.

Pretty ugly eh?  It's a dollar store toilet plunger. 

Well, it didn't work anyway 'cause it wouldn't stick to my work desk and it wouldn't even stand up straight with the ribbon on.  

It did give me an idea though - to make something like a paper towel holder - only taller to hold more ribbon, and with a bigger base to hold little jars for buttons, brads, glitter (the jars have a sprinkle top inside) etc. etc.  The jars stay in place because they are recessed into the base.  I talked my hubby into making one for me, and this is the result. 

I'm going to try it and see how I like it.

Oh, were you wondering what happened to my plunger?

Here it is...in the bathroom.

I think it will do a much better job holding toilet paper.  hee! hee!

Have a great evening and I hope you'll come back soon to see what's new.

Girl in Window Card

Here's another card made with a Sugar Nellie digital image from Funky Kits. This is Sybil. Can't remember where I got the window image...sorry.  I actually remembered to do some sewing on this one, I love stitching on cards, but usually forget to do it till it's too late.
