Babushka Doll....................

So I made this little box. And wanted to make a little gift card holder. I saw this in my magazine a while back. (I think it was Cardmaker.) I just LOVED this little babushka doll.
Isn't she cute?

Front.............

Back and inside. I love the hand stitch all around the outer edges. Very cute and simple to make. Leave me a message below if you would like a copy of the directions!

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #33............

This week the super talented Beth got to pick the theme. She wanted us to use our favorite New Moon quote............................

My Favorite quote..................... (typed out below in case you can not read my chicken scratch!)

Gotta add some beads..............
I used my Club Scrap Henna kit for the papers and ribbons.
Popped up some words for dimension..........
I found the wood heart this weekend when I was cleaning out my craft drawers! Bonus!!!!


My Favorite quote:
"There was nothing special about this place without him. I wasn't exactly sure what I'd hoped to feel here, but the meadow was empty of atmosphere, empty of everything, just like everywhere else." ~Bella, pg. 234

Pirate Book.........................


Here is a little Pirate Book that I made for a Green Tangerines's Design Team Project. I just got a bunch back...so I will be sharing some of them with you!

I used the Rusty Pickle Pirate line for most of the book.

I made my own covers using chipboard. Book size is 5x6.

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #32.............

Challenge for today is The Great Northwest. Lucky me! It was my pick this week! If you have ever lived there you know what I mean. Maybe if you have only visited there you know what I mean. Maybe if you only heard about the filming of the movie you know what I mean. It is beautiful there. There is a reason for it's beauty....all the rain!
So from the space needle to the forests. From the rain to the trees. From the lush green beauty of it all to the Olympic Peninsula. There are so many reasons to LOVE the great Northwest. Edward's family chooses to live there. Bella feels she has to live there, and hated visiting as a child. Don't forget the trips to Seattle, the coast, and into the forest. Have fun with this one!

Comment portion: If you could visit anywhere in the Northwest - where would it be and why?

So my project this week is a star album. I LOVE making these. They are so fun to put together and have such dramatic results! They make wonderful gifts also.

Why do I blog?

I have never been one to keep a journal. I have never been able to write in a diary for more than a week! I have countless scrapbooks that still need to be journaled. I do this in hopes of becoming a better journalist. I do this to document everyday life. I do this so I don't have to scrapbook EVERY picture! I do this for me, our friends and family, & mostly the kids. One day they will have it all - because I took the time to document all the little things that REALLY do matter. Everyday life....all the little moments you & I can't remember because the memories are long gone.......
