Valentine's Day made of butterflies and hearts!

I've been working on some butterflies and hearts for Valentine's Day.

What fun it is to work with these intricate cutting dies.

Enjoy!

Celebration Headbands

Oh what fun it is to wear a Celebration Headband.

Any holiday, any occasion, anytime is the right time to wear one.

You are never too old to have some fun!

The Ebosser meets Spellbinders Dies

My back is sore.....

My shoulders are sore....

My arms how they ache.........

But magic happens when the Ebosser

Meets Spellbinder dies!

Love them!!!!!

Old Photos meet Altered Art

Okay, so I'm thrift shopping with a girlfriend and I find this little book

with old-time photos and sayings.

Hey, I can do something with this.

And....so I did!

The lace, ribbon, rhinestones, and glitter make a statement,

but I'm not sure what statement they make.

Enjoy.

The first 3 cards are done with scraps.

You need 3 different papers.

The bottom of each card is embossed using the Cuttlebug after adhering all papers to the card.

The middle dividing part is with a Sizzix die or using border punches.

Easy and fun to make.

The card below is made using a Spellbinders die with my eBosser.

Took a few days to get the "rhythm" of the eBosser.

Used the Xyron machine to adhere the design to the card.

Glittered around the adhesive that seeps out with a powdered glitter.

Glitter doesn't show up well, but "in person" the card is spectacular.

Memory Box Dies are so Cute!

Using my Ebosser and Memory Box Dies

makes these black and white cards stand out.

Now who wouldn't want one of these beauties?

Oh, and a little glitter doesn't hurt either...

(Glitter doesn't photograph nicely.)

Rainberry Bay Library Knit Wits Accept Award from Chili's

Here I am at Chili's in Lake Worth, FL, accepting an award from Chili's Grill & Bar and Little Smiles on behalf of the Rainberry Bay Library Knit Wits.  We help to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and distribute hats and blankets to Little Smiles.  We are a group of very talented women who give of their time to try to make kids happy.  Chili's sponsored a luncheon for us and gave us gift bags of yarn, candy, gift certificates to Chili's, etc.  Tony Viola, Area Director of Chili's, couldn't have been nicer and so appreciative of our knitting dedication.  Joshua Daniel, Program Manager and Fundraising Director of Little Smiles, was so grateful for all our time and energy we put into each and every hand-knit item that goes to the kids.  My hat is off to all the ladies that give of themselves in each and every item they knit.  Isn't it time you learned how to knit?
