Busy Busy Weekend..........

Long post alert........

I have been one creating fool this weekend. I even had a MacGyver moment and got laundry done! WOW! I was productive.

Here is my MacGyver moment. I was cleaning out one of my drawers and came across some orphaned kraft paper envelopes. I have no idea what happened to their partners. So I thought, hmmm, what can I do with these. I was needing a break from working on mini albums, so I grabbed some kraft paper, the kraft envelopes, some scrap paper, a few tags and this is what I came up with....it's a mini note card file. I even used my sewing machine.

I should have done something more with the sides, they are a tad bit boring. However, I was in the zone and was only thinking about how I am going to glue the sides on without messing up the whole thing.



Pretty nifty huh? Now if I decide to do another one, I will do more with the sides.

I worked on some new items for my Etsy store. I love making these chunkie little mini's. They are so much fun and quick to make. I worked through a lot of scrap paper with these tiny guys.









I set up my sewing machine where I can just turn around in my chair and viola, I can sew. I have been wanting to make some art journals with this fun poka dot felt I got (I absolutely love Creative Cafe...). I cut some cardstock and hand sewed them together and into the felt cover. I think they turn out pretty cute. I am going to work on some more in different kinds of material.





These are my favorite projects this weekend. I have a ton of Daisy D paper that I have been hording. So I thought it was time to get it out and do something with it. I picked up these Cosmo Cricket Plain Jane cigar boxes and covered them with nothing but torn and inked paper. I added wooden knobs on the bottom of each box and made a coordinating mini album. I have one more cigar box...so I am thinking about making another one for myself! :)




I want to also give a huge shout out and congrats to my girl Carol!!! She made the Creative Scrappers Design Team. So for the next 4 months we can drool over her beautiful work she does for them. At least now, I know that she will be posting on her blog often!!! Make sure you check out her blog and bookmark it!

I also want to thank her for awarding me the Wylde Woman award! I love you Carol!!!
