Happy Halloween






 Today I made a card to play along with Papertrey Ink's Mr.Bones Spook Out.
I've had these dies sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks, but I just haven't found the time to play,until today!  I went a little different than the conventional pumpkin,but I had someone in mind to make this for, and I think she will love it.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday to me!


Several months ago, Nichole Heady posted her ribbon shelf that her husband made for her, it was perfect! I asked DH last winter if he could build me one, he said when it got a little warmer in the garage, well it got warm and still no shelf. It was too hot now, so when it cools off he told me. WELL, I out smarted him, my birthday was the beginning of the month, and that's what I told him I wanted! :) He couldn't put it off any longer...haha. When we went to buy the sheet of Bead Board(they come in pre-cut half sheets) we decided instead of cutting it down, we would just use the whole piece, this determined how large my shelf would be. Since it is so large(2&1/2'x4'), I decided that i didn't need all of that storage for ribbon, so i had him put a couple of shelves using the 1x4 boards. There are 41 rolls of ribbon on the top shelf so far,I'm thinking it will hold about 55 per shelf. The bottom shelf is 1x4 also, making it perfect for the larger spools of seam binding. I was going to have DH hang it on the wall, but I think I might just like it where it is at.


The unfortunate thing is, the first 30 rolls of PTI ribbon that I bought, I took off of the spools and put into these jars. I wish I had those empty spools back now!


Before I go, I wanted to share these adorable boxes that I bought at TJMaxx. They go perfect with my room, I just love them!

Stitches and Swirls





 As soon as I watched Heather Nichols video, I knew which set I wanted to use for this challenge. This stamp isn't all that big, but it sure was time consuming!! After I stitched the design ,I went back and highlighted some of it with Copics.

PTI July Blog Hop



For some reason when I saw this photo, it reminded me of when I use to silk ribbon embroider, which was at least 10 years ago. It was an art that I loved to do, and after playing around with it on this card, I hope to get back at it! I dyed the seam binding an some of the silk ribbon with Melon Berry and Harvest Gold reinker.This card is so soft,and  pretty IRL, I  just didn't capture it to well!
