Valentine Banner

This was a really easy and quick decoration once I made up my mind on what I was going to do. At first I was just going to make solid hearts, then I was going to do mostly light pink but with one dark pink, and then I decided to put on some of the candy conversation heart saying on every other one, and then I just put them on all of them.

What you need: some felt, a heart shape cookie cutter, scissors, ribbon, sewing floss, and a pen. First use your heart shape cookie cutter and trace a bunch of hearts onto the felt and then cut them out. You need to cut out two hearts for every heart you want. Then stitch some cute conversation heart sayings onto the top hearts. I did: Q T Pie, My Baby, Hugs, Be Mine, XOXO, Sweet, Kiss Me, Dream, and Love. I tried to stick to shorter ones because I didn't have much room on my hearts.

Then sew the bottom hearts onto the ribbon.

Then sew the top hearts with the sayings on them so the ribbon is sandwiched in between.

I just stitched around the outside, slowly going around and around.

Then they are ready to hang!

Don't they look cute on the fireplace!

Happy Valentines Day!

Car Roll Tutorial

November is such a crazy time. There are so many projects that have to be made for birthdays and Christmas. Making things is so much more fun then buying something random. Anyways, I made this cute car roll for Moose's best buddy's 2nd birthday. I'm loving how it came out and her friend has been having a blast putting his hot wheels in the little pockets. So here is how I made it so you can make one too! I don't have photos for every step because Moose was "helping" me the entire time and I couldn't juggle her and a camera very well. Supplies: 1/4 of a yard of green fabric 1/4 of a yard of some fun print fabric Batting (about 16 inches by 9 1/2 inches) 5 Pieces of scraps of fabric at are 4 inches by 4 1/2 inches Felt for roads, dirt, and water (I used the felt rectangle pieces you see everywhere in craft stores) Bias Tape Button Elastic or a hair tie Step 1: Cut ...

Scrapbooking, Pumpkin Patch

I loved how the water color background turned out for my son's page so much, that I had to try it again. This time, I thought I would make a two page layout for my daughter's book since it has been a very long time since I've tried one. I wanted to scrap these pumpkin patch pictures from last year because we were just about to go to the pumpkin patch again and I thought they would help me get into the fall mood. I just love fall, but the weather in the pacific northwest is so unpredictable this time of year. You never know if there is going to be a sunny day to go pumpkin picking so you have to take advantage of one when it comes! Scrap Our Stash had their Tic Tac Toe challenge again, so I thought I would give it a go. I went right down the center and did 3 buttons, decorative pins, and wood veneers. I scattered buttons randomly onto the page. I used up the little joy pin from Little Yellow Bicycle that I had laying ...

Scrapbooking, First Solo

I can't believe how much time has gone by since I last scrapbooked. Well, I finally have been inspired to scrap again and I found a fun challenge with a very happy mood board that got my creative juices going again. Recently, my daughter got to dance her first solo on a stage. I had only seen her dance this when she was first learning this. She had a broken wrist at the time, so I never had seen some of the moves until she danced it on stage. It had been over a year since she was on a stage and she has never been on one all by herself. I wasn't sure how she was going to do. I could tell she was getting nervous, but she did a beautiful job. I was a very proud mommy. =) I really wanted to add one more picture, so I added this photo on a pull out tab. I always enjoy the pages that have a little interactive part to them. While the paper I used for this layout was all new, all the embellishments are things that I have had for a lon...
