Baby Dress

Hello Everyone!

Got any fun plans for the weekend?  I need to get some cleaning done, but I feel a strange, strong force pulling me into my craft room. ;)

A few weeks ago, a dear friend revealed that she's expecting.  We have no idea what the baby is yet, but I decided to get a head start and make a baby card.  I decided to make a girl card and later I'll make a boy card.  So I'll be prepared either way. :)

I printed the dress shape from the Paper Crafts Magazine online freebie section.  I stenciled the flower pattern with a Martha Stewart stencil.  The "lace" was created with a Martha Stewart punch.

(Supplies: dress shape pattern, stencil and punch- Martha Stewart, ribbon, button, image & sentiment stamps- Papertrey Ink, sponge dauber, ink- Color Box in Frost, black)

Alright, time for me to figure out which force will win- cleaning or crafting. :)  And as for you, enjoy your weekend and thank you for visiting.  I really appreciate it.

Happy Crafting,
Angie

Pasta Placemats

Happy Weekend!!

Did you enjoy Halloween?  We sure did.  Aside from being a fun, spooky holiday, it's also my mum's birthday.  :)  So we got together, ate a LOT, and the little ones went trick or treating.  

Well, today I will be sharing the gift that I made for my momma.  A while back she got a new table that seats 8 people.  Yes, it's a big table, but it's also a big family. :p  So what do you think I made her?.... That's right! Placemats!   

Here is the front side:

Here is back side 1:

Here is back side 2:

(Supplies: fabric- Joann's and Beverly's Fabrics, sewing machine & other notions)

What do I mean by back side 1 and 2?  When I bought the bandana fabric, I only got 1 yard for a totally different project.  Then I decided to use it for the placemats and went to get more.  Apparently, they were different and didn't even notice till I began to pin them together!  Luckily, mom was ok with it. :)

Whole set:

I hope she liked them. :)  And I hope you enjoy your weekend.  Thank you so, so much for stopping by.  It warms my heart when you do.  :)

Happy Crafting,

Angie
