Hi everyone! Here is the birthday card I created that coordinates with the birthday party invites from last week. As you will see it does look very similar but with a few changes. I did use the Silhouette Cameo and the print and cut feature for this card. You can refer back to this post for even more info on how to create these images.

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share the birthday party invitations I’m making to send out for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I wanted a simple invite with no added dimension so I turned to the Silhouette software to help me out. I used several images that were part of the free downloads when you purchased the Cameo along with using the pattern fill and color fill options. I’m pleased with how it turned out, if you want to see more on this card then click the video below:
Hi everyone! I am so glad to be sharing this post with you. If you remember way back to last year when I posted a list of projects I wanted to complete in 2012… remember? Well, as you know I didn’t do too hot in attacking that list but alas, today I can mark off one of them, the mixed media project. In my last Hobby Lobby haul I shared on YouTube I had purchased a pendant blank, I took that pendent and created this:

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you a birthday card I made for my Aunt who is turning 75 this weekend. I was going to make her a card that would match the gift bag I purchased but scraped that whole idea when going through my paper. I LOVE this paper collection. I have used it many times before, when seeing the sewing machine I knew that I had to make her card using it. So there was no die cutting used in this card tutorial… pretty cool huh?

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you a few items I picked up this week at my local Hobby Lobby Store. This week they had their paper pads 50% off! After watching a great YouTuber, Yoliebean, share her haul I HAD to go. Well, I needed to go for more Kraft card stock so her items just gave me the push I needed to go. I did include two items I picked up the last time I was at HL at the end of the video so it’s a semi-collective haul. 
I hope you enjoy watching the video.

Hi everyone! This week I have played catch up with all my home duties because last week was rough! My husband and I both had a nasty stomach virus, grateful my two littles didn’t get it. Anyway, hoping to have a video up later this week but can’t promise so in the time being I thought I would share a few sewing projects I have completed over the past few months. I will divide these up so not to make this post super long.
I am still a very novice sewer. I have always been around sewing machines but when it comes to sewing I’m self-taught. I have only completed a few projects in the past six years that I’ve owned my very own sewing machine. Not that I don’t like to sew, I do, I love it, it’s just a chore to get everything ready and then I want to be able to have enough time to complete the project at hand before I pack anything up for the day just to keep from dragging things out again. But first I have to clean off my kitchen island… this is my sewing station. I keep all my sewing items in a TV armoire that I turned into a sewing cabinet.
Just Make Time – Sew
After cleaning all the junk off the island (the universal catch-all station it seems) I then I set up for the fun.

Once I have everything out and in place I am in a zone…. until the seam ripper has to make an appearance then I’m ready to get the project done…. I don’t know what it is but having to rip the stitching out of your project, annoying, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Up first is this super cute pleated purse.

The fabric I picked up from Hobby Lobby.
Just Make Time – Sew
I know the lining is a bit bright but I had this left over from my Christmas Stocking I made for myself that I showed here. I thought it would be cute here too. I used a great tutorial to aid me through this first ever purse! Please check out the pleated purse tutorial here. I did modify the purse to have only one shoulder strap. I find that with a double handle purse, one strap is always falling down so I changed that part. I also added interfacing to the lining and outside fabrics.
Just Make Time – Sew
I did have to break out the old seam ripper. I was sewing up a storm and forgot to leave a space in the lining to turn the purse out. All in all a pretty easy tutorial. This was my first attempt at pleats too! Taking your time and going slow is my word of advice along with checking back at the tutorial with each step. The only thing I will do when I have my sewing machine out again is to add a magnetic button to the lining. With the one strap the bag tends to gape open so a snip in the bottom seam of the lining will allow an easy time in adding this closure.
Hope you enjoyed seeing this sewing project and I hope to have more sewing projects to show soon. By the way, anyone know the reason I HAD to have a sewing machine???? Any guesses? To make cloth diapers for my son. Bet you didn’t think that would be the answer. Yes I did make several and they did work but those little tushie coverings are not the easiest to sew if you have never really sewn before.
What do you like to sew? Anyone quilt? Let me know!
See you in the next post!
Hi everyone! Hope you have had a wonderful week. This week’s tutorial I have used the Silhouette Cameo and the 3D Egg Tote found in the Silhouette store.

Today I have a simple masculine card for you. I used the Teresa Collins “World Traveler” 6×6 paper pad. You’ve seen me use this pad before and it’s awesome for creating masculine cards.
