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! The important thing to remember about a sketch is that it is meant to be a starting point but if you want to CASE it completely that is okay too! Sketches are a great way to get your creativity flowing. I followed the sketch pretty closely on these card but tweaked it to work with the supplies I had on hand. 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. I then fussy cut them using my Fiskars Spr...
