S*P*R*I*N*G

It's the first day of my spring break and I needed a little break from scrapbooking. I've starred a ton of different fabric flowers on my google reader, so I decided to give a few a try. I started by following several tutorials on blissfulmeandering using felt. I think they tured out really cute.


Them I made a few fabric flowers. There are tutorials for these on a ton of blogs.

I started playing around with the fabric and made a few of my own. They aren't my favorite of the ones I made today, but still cute.

First, I cut 6 rectagles of fabric about 3 inches by 2 inches.
I folded each piece in half and hot glued it together.

Then I kind of bunched it together, not the best explanation, but hopefully the pictures speak for themselves.

Then I glued then around the circle and added the button.
WOO HOO for spring break!!!

ABC girl scrapbook :)

So I can finally show the pictures of the ABC baby girl scrapbook I've been working on for awhile. I gave it to a friend at her shower this weekend. I love the way it turned out! However, I do not love the glitter scrapbook paper. My cricut won't cut it and glue won't stick to it. UGH! It was too perfect for this particular book, but I won't be using it again.




It looks a little busy in the pictures, but it isn't hard to read at all in person. I could not find a cute scrapbook for it anywhere, so I bought a plain brown one and added this ribbon and flowers. At the last minute I decided the bag just had to match the book, so I made the flower at home and glued it on the bag in the parking lot. :)

Scrapbooking

I've been doing a ton of scrapbooking lately. I'll be posting it soon hopefully, but it's a surprise! So, for now I'll post a book I did this summer for a friend who has an adorable baby boy. It's an ABC book that matches little Wyatt's nursery. :)













Some of the words are a little hard to read in the pictures because I take all my pics with my iphone. The pages say: adorable, bath time, cuddling, daddy and me, eating, family, grandparents, handsome, I love you, joy, kisses, little one, mommy and me, new arrival, our family, play, quiet, rock-a-bye, smile, tiny, unique, very special, Wyatt, x-tra cute, yawn, and zzzz. I used my Old West Cricut Cartridge and love the way it turned out!
