Friday Favourites

Time for another edition of my "Friday Favourites" and this one is full of gorgeousness! There are some seriously talented crafters out there!

Rachel over at Artistic Designs by Rachel made this beautifully feminine Butterfly Card. I have to get my hands on that framelit, it's so gorgeous!

 

Angie at Chic 'n Scratch made this adorable Easter Teeny Tiny Box! So cute!

This Banner was made by Cathy over at In the Cat Cave! I'm a sucker for anything Spring (especially right now, I am so done with winter).

 

Allison over at Nice People Stamp made this lovely Easter Card. That little chick is so cute!

Barbara Meyer from Kreativ Studio (a Stampin' Up! demo from Germany) made this amazing Stationary Box, I seriously cannot get enough. Make sure you check out her blog and see all the different things included in his little guy!

Project Life - Gabriel

When Stampin' Up! first started offering Project Life, I was ecstatic. I thought "here is the answer to my scrapbooking prayers" and "this will save me so much time, I am sure to get caught up". Of course, both those things were true but it still took me a little while to get into the swing of things.

I ordered the Project Life kits as soon as they were available and they just sat in my craft room and stared at me, until this week that is. When I finally decided to do something with them. I am seriously lacking in the scrapbooking department lately...for example, today's post is Gabriel's newborn photos. He's two and a half. Oh well, better late than never. I apologize for the not so wonderful photos, I find it hard to get a good photo of the 12x12 divided pages close up.

A Break from Stamping

I took a break from stamping yesterday to work on a couple other projects, I hope you don't mind my sharing. My mom got me a sewing machine for Christmas a couple years ago and I keep promising I will use it more and learn more about it. For the most part, I have failed at that promise, but lately I've been breaking it out a little bit more. I can't sew much more than a straight line at this point, but I am getting there.

My little man has been drooling like crazy lately (well actually my big man too for that matter, molars perhaps) and I am sure that teeth are on the way. We have a couple really cute bandanna bibs that I got at H&M when Gabe was a baby and while I love the look of them I don't love the patterns. So I thought this was something simple enough to make and I could probably do it and choose my own cute fabric. Off to Pinterest I went and I found this awesome tutorial. And I was right, oh so super simple! I think they turned out pretty good (juts please don't enlarge the photos to check my sewing skills) and I can't wait to go out and get some more fabric to make a couple more!

And of course we need a few snapshots of my handsome man modelling his new bandanna bib. 

While I was at it I made a couple more regular bibs. We are starting to venture into solids in the near future and you can never have enough bibs. For these ones I just used a bib we already had as the pattern and went from there. Again super simple but don't get looking too closely. Let's just say it's a good thing these are only meant for spit up and food.

I also made a few more cloth wipes to add to my collection, but they weren't overly pretty or exciting so I don't have photos of them to share. I used old receiving blankets, cut into 8x8 squares and they were perfectly! Although I think I'll buy some more pretty flannel and make a couple more sets.

Happy Stamping (and other creative projects), 

Elizabeth Emma

Don't worry I'll be back later this week with a territory I am much more comfortable in, stamping!

P.S. Don't forget to check up this week's weekly deals and contact me if you would like to place an order, or remember you can shop online 24/7 (in your PJs even). 

Lotus Blossom

My boys were cooperative this weekend and allowed me a tiny bit of time to play with some of my new freebies from sale-a-bration! One set I really enjoyed was Lotus Blossom. This was a set I wasn't particularly sold on at first (not my usual style) but after many aimless productive hours on Pinterest, I changed my mind, and I am glad I did! 

In case you don't already know, Lotus Blossom is two (or three) step stamping process. It's super easy, the stamp set comes labelled with numbers (which piece to stamp first) and you only need one or two colours, you just stamp off on scrap paper to get the different look. 

Ingredients

Stamps: Lotus Blossom (FREE with any qualifying order during sale-a-bration)

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow

Paper: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Best Year Ever DSP (FREE with any qualifying order during sale-a-bration) 

Accessories: linen thread

Happy Stamping,
