A custom request, using paper piecing and thread as the guitar strings.

Merry Christmas to You!
I've only had time for one new design this season, and this is it! Inspired by my Christmas tree which, had lights strings go out on it 3 times already, lol.

Long Time No Post!
Yep, It's that time of year again, and my blog has been suffering from neglect! I've still been crafting, though not so much cards and more stuff for my daughter's wedding. She wants an autumn leaf theme, and I 've been busy making the aisle flowers from coffee filters. The aisle is super long so I'll be making them for awhile :) You can find directions for coffee filter roses on Martha Stewarts' web site, although I changed up her directions quite a bit for the ones pictured here. I have about 80 made, and could use about 80 more!

Save the Date
Just taking a side trip away from pop-up cards a bit, to make save-the-date flat cards for my daughter's wedding. She wanted colorful, autumn leaf motif. I, of course, can't bring myself to make just one style of card (since she'll need 60). So it looks like a mixed bag of designs, including a few more not pictured here.

Card Display - Cheap and Easy
Yes, it's the last minute before a craft show and I needed a way to display cards. My requirements: to be able to see over the tabletop display (24" high), reach around the display (18" wide), and be as light as possible (thin particle board). These were made from stuff I had around the house, with the exception of the flashing (under $3 for 10 feet and glued on with E-6000). Even the hinges are upcycled and put on with craft brads, so that I can take them off later. I may add a safety chain towards the bottom of the 'V' but so far the boards are not sliding around at all on the tablecloth.

Arrgh!
Takes a little time to burn all those edges, but it's more authentic to me than using ink. You do have to wipe off any excess carbon. These pages are for 3 pirate-themed photo journals.
