Sharing a sewing post today; it has been a bit since I could get much sewing done. My Littlest is now older and I can do a bit more while she plays, with the pin cushions, because of course the dangerous things are her favorite *insert head shake*. Speaking of my Littlest she is BUSY, like all the time BUSY and has trouble falling asleep. I had read about weighted blankets several years ago and thought about making one for my Oldest but I never did get around to it. Fast forward a few years and I am talking with my friend about Littlest's sleep troubles and she mentions that her nephew has a weighted blanket that he loves... hello light bulb moment! I immediately was on Pinterest and Google searching DIY Weighted Blankets and holy smokes there are tons of awesome tutorials out there! I am going to link a few below in case you are interested in making one too! I let Littlest dig through my fabric stash and she picked out these adorable fox fabrics from Joanns for...
Today I wanted to share with you an idea using a sketch from Scrapbook and Cards Today . This is their challenge sketch for February and I thought it would be perfect for bookmark cards! These cards are perfect for Grandparents, parents, aunts or uncles for any occasion and Valentine's Day is no exception!

I created two cards; one more manly and the other a bit more feminine. These adorable bears were colored with Staedtler Watercolor Pencils, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. I was going for a specific look with these images; I wanted them to look like illustrations. The bear stamp sets are Cub Cud...
The Wednesday Challenge , for this week, at Simon Says Stamp is tags! They are also featuring Ranger products, because we all know Ranger and tags go hand in hand! My tag features only a few of the great products and manufacturers that you can find at Simon Says Stamp! The tag base is from Ranger and I blended both Distress Inks and various Tattered Angels shimmer sprays to create the background and the hill. I used this awesome Big Bang Scenery set from Winnie and Walter along with some Versamark and Hero Arts Silver Embossing Powder to create a starry background. The moon is a heart from the Simon Says Stamp Set Tons of Hearts ! The adorable bear family is from two Mama Elephant's stamp sets Bear Hugs and Cub Cuddles . I stamped the bears with Antique Linen Distress Ink onto Ranger Watercolor Paper and used my Distress Inks , Ranger Artist Brus hes and Distress Markers to paint them.
