The February Challenage

I have been wanting to do this for a while.  I have heard of people who do a 30 day crafting with only what they have on hand.   Well I am here to say today is the start of that.  I will not be going to the DI (or Goodwill) to buy anything.  I will take things that are giving to me, but I can't buy anything.  

Here are a few things that are on my list for the month:

• Fabric Flowers 
• Baby blankets
• Bibs
• Bow Holder
• Redo skirts into dresses
• Headbands
• Ruffle Bum Onsies
• Scrapbooking
• Cards
• Flashcards
• Finish my "beach bag" 

The sad thing is this is just a few things that I could  do with what I have on hand. If there is anything that you would like to see a tutorial for just let me know!  I will try to do tutorials for all of them.

It has begun..

Last night after we put the little one to bed I got a bee in my bonnet.  I cleaned up the floor and then I walked past my sad craft room.  Then then I got the bright idea to clean it out.  Now mind you this is like 10 at night.  I have to show you how sad it looks!

These pictures are awful!  I am sorry we live in the basement.  So I started to clean it out to that I could organize.  I love that feeling of cleaning something and know thing it will be amazing in the end.

I wanted to list the things that I planned for this room.  You can see the frame that is sticking out, that will be painted turquoise.  I am not sure if it will be a dark or light.  Then I am going to cover a piece of sheet  metal with dark brown burlap over it.  I am super excited.  Then I have baby food jars that I will be spraying the lid and then putting a magnet on the bottom and using them for containers on my  magnet board.

My hubbie will be building me a table that will fold down when it is not in use!  This space is a little small, but mine none the less. I am super excited to be able to have a little retreat!

I will show you hopefully next week how I have organized my awesome craft room.  Hope to see you soon!

Cards...& more cards!

Here are more cards.  The other day my bestest friend Audrey came over and we had a blast making cards.  She is so talented and I am going to see if she will send me some pictures of the cards that she did.  They were amazing!  I should have taken a picture of what it look like when we got done!  It looked like a tornado hit my craft room. 

 I have a lot of baby showers and things coming up.  Which I am super excited about.  I have some of the gifts already made (I will post those later)!  However, I am running way low on the cards.  So I thought I would make a few.  I love these.  My friend Audrey has a white ink pad and she let me use it.  I am in love with it!

Then April is one of the busiest birthday months for my family.  Oh ya, and IT"S MY BIRTHDAY!  Ok so if you know me, you know that I love presents.  I am not greedy, I love feeling like someone took the time to get me something.  I know I need to be better, But I love them!  My favorite card is the yellow one!  It is super bright.
I was looking through my stamps and I am thought that this would be cute to do something that I could give that is kinda whatever I need it for.  But thoughtful.  I thought this would do the trick.  I am really excited to use these cards and make tons more.  I want to use all of the scraps that I have! If you want to see more of my cards check it out HERE

Thanks for stopping by!  What one is your favorite card?  Let me know!

Just some cards!

Just a little note! If you are visiting from Somewhat Simple. Thank you!  There is no crap involved with the card.  However there is SCRAPS.  Opps!  I hope you enjoy.

I love to scrapbook!  I also don't like to waste any scraps if I don't have to. All of these card are made from scraps.  I have a hard spending $3-$10 for a card that someone may or may not like.  I have been making the cards that I have been giving for the lat year and half.  I have giving out tons that I haven't taken pictures of.  I wanted to share a few and let you know that you don't need a big piece of paper to make a cute card.

Another thing I was talking to a friend and she was talking about buying stamps and how expensive it was.  I spent about $25 dollars and got tons of stamps.  Now I can make all kinds of card for free.  Since I have all of the supplies.  So thing to think about. Notice that all of these cards are done with little scraps. 

Here is some random, can go for anything cards:

 Here is some thank you cards:

Here is a birthday card, a lovey card, and then a thinking of you:

This Friday I think that some of my friends are going to get together to make some more.  If we do then I will be sure to post them too! I also want to do some cards that you sew with your sewing machine.  I love those!  They are so fun.
