I Love Spring..

it's my favorite time of year. I love the green, the flowers, the birds, singing...it's wonderful. So I had to create a mini album with the Spring theme. I wanted to do something with just acrylic..... and sewing! What?! You say. Yep, I stitched on my acrylic album. I used the Zutter 4x4 covers and a Teresa Collins Chipboard cover as a pattern. Here's what I came up with.

An Ode to Zutter

When I hear the word Zutter,
my heart skips a beat.
Cool tools and great binding supplies,
and things that are neat!
I know this is corny,
but what can I say?
It's the best way to tell you about
the Bind It All contest, today.
In fact, no need to rush, you won't be late,
if you leave a rhyming comment by February 28.
Now go to the site Here! , go see then.
go leave a rhyme and you just might win!!

Please ....

My Thoughts Are With You

My thoughts are with the Willaerts today. They lost their eldest child, age 5, to a teribbly invasive and incurable brain tumor. In times such as these, my thoughts return to Psalm 23:

The Lord is my sheperd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness foe his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil,
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

May God bring you peace and healig during this time.

Altered Items!

are my absolute favorite to make. I just love them. With The Shaker Box February Kit I made a couple of altered items. I altered a Melissa Francis Picture Frame and I altered a Maya Road Chipboard tin.

A Few More Layouts

Cards.....Yes! Cards!

I know, I know. I don't do many cards...and I don't know why. I've got tons of scraps to use. Here are a few I did with the February Kit from The Shaker Box . I love the Shaker Box Kits, they're full of all kinds of goodies and enough stuff to get some serious scrapping done! I did four 12x12 layouts, three cards and two altered items with my kit! And I still have a litle paper left...Wowzers!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

May your day be filled with love and laughter.

Here's a project I did a little while ago. Originally I was going to give it as a gift..so the inside is undecorated. In fact, I may still give it as a gift!!
