Birthdays

I created this card for my wonderful sister in law for her birthday. I used the color coach to help me pick the colors. It was a big hit.

I love using paper to create fun flowers. I made this card for my mom for her birthday. She really liked it. Again, I used the color coach to help me pick colors. I don't know that I would have put these together without it's help.

For my birthday, I got spoiled! My wonderful mother in law gave me money to get exactly what I wanted. I took advantage of free shipping, hosting a party, and my discount to maximize the amount of product I was able to get. I think I did pretty well. Now I can't wait to get playing!

Table Runner


I got this brillant idea to make a table runner that serves two purposes...to decorate for Thanksgiving and for Christmas. I found the wonderful fall fabric at Pine Needles in West Jordan. I knew I had to get it. So I came home and cut it up. I was able to make 3 runners with it. For the Christmas side, I got fabric from my stash (for my personal runner, not pictured), and picked up more fabric from Wal-mart. I made the runner pictured for my mother for her birthday. She loved it! I love the idea of having a table runner that lasts for 2 months instead of just one. I'm thinking of making 5 more so that I have all the months covered!
