Downy Touch of Comfort

This is not a paper craft project but I wanted to share something with everyone that comes to visit my blog. Along with doing paper crafts, beading & all sorts of other crafts I also sew. This project that I am happy to be donating my time for is for "Quilts for Kids" an organization of caring volunteer quilters to help donate 10,000 homemade quilts to children in hospitals. Downy is a supporter of Quilts for Kids. The fabric is sent to you and all you need to do is sew the quilt together and send it back to them within 6 weeks. It's for a good cause and I am happy to be helping children in hospitals all over the United States.

This 1st picture is when I cut the pieces and joined them in squares and created the pattern.

This next picture is when I sewed the pieces all together.

This last picture I sewed all the borders together so you can see what the top of the quilt looks like. The inside has quilt batting and the back of the quilt is the same fabric that is around the borders. I just ironed everything down to flatten it and now all I have to do is quilt all the pieces together. I should be done by this week and can finally send it back to "Quilt for Kids, Inc." after I wash and dry the completed quilt. I will be happy to know that I will make a child happy to have his or her very own quilt. If anyone is interested in donating their time for children in hospitals you can check out the website.

Clutch purse and wedding card

Here's a clutch purse that I decided to make for a wedding shower that I am going to. It's for both the bride and groom to be. I wanted to be different and decided to put the card in this clutch purse. They will be getting married in Las Vegas in a couple weeks and we won't be able to be there for the wedding. It would probably be more for her and not him since most guys are not into paper crafts.

This is the card I made for them. I had no idea what to create so I used her colors and also used the Quikutz cake for this card. I hope she likes it!

Have a Great weekend!!

Purse Tote

I went to a craft class today to learn how to make this "purse tote". We actually made 2 different purse's and this was one of them. This is such an awesome purse and measures "6 tall x 9" wide. The colors were just perfect since I like these 2 colors. I will probably be making more of these since it's great to give as a RAK with lots of goodies. The mega size paper clip was just added by me to show you that the sides are pockets that you can put something in it too. I just love this purse tote..... Anyway Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!

Mini Easter basket

Made a quick and easy mini easter basket last night and remembered to take a picture of it. I used my left over scraps for this. Just imagine Easter is just around the corner and hope you all have a Great Easter Sunday! Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Rak box and album

I have a couple projects that I worked on this weekend. This is a little photo album that I made. The album measure 5" x 5" but the accordian pages are 4" x 4". I was planning on giving it away but I really like it and might just keep it for myself instead and make another. The DP is by Amy Butler and I used Miss Anya. Love the GF Anya's!!

Here's a box that I created that I really like too. It's a pretty sturdy box and can be used to send goodies to anyone. The box measures 3-1/2" x 5". The measurements of the paper is 10-1/2" x 12". I had some of my friends from work over on the weekend and taught them how to fold this box. I know I still need to do a tutorial for this.

Anyway Thank you for stopping by and Have a Great Week!

Bridal Shower favor

I can't believe that I ended up creating something again tonight and actually started at 10:00 pm. I was thinking about creating this earlier in the day and couldn't wait to get home from work to try it out. Another late night of working so my mind was creating this while I was working and driving home tonight. How crazy am I? Does anyone get that way too or am I just crazy? Anyway, I am helping my friend who is having a bridal shower for her best friend next weekend and she had no idea what to make. I told her that I would try to create this tonight and bring it to work in the morning. I've seen this online on other sites but you'd have to buy the sets that cost alot so I figured that I could try to create it myself. I really like it and hope she does too. Thank goodness its Friday (12:22 am) but another late night of working again.

Have a Great Day!

The bag lady is back!!

Hi everyone.....I'm back again making another clutch purse! This purse measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and can be used to hold store coupons or receipts. You could also use it to give away as a gift and insert a gift card and a handmade card inside. I actually may change the button on the front but for now I'm gonna just use what I have until I can find something else. The DP is from K&Company that I picked up when I went to Las Vegas. The brown paper is just regular bazille card stock that I had in my scrap container. Thanks for stopping by to check out my creations and hope you all have a great rest of the week...

Easter Basket

I wanted to make a quick and easy Easter Basket as a favor to put a few goodies. Well I guess I expected it to be little smaller but it turned out to be a larger basket. It was quick and easy, so if you want to know how to make this, let me know I can email you the instructions. The bottom of this basket is a 4" square. I will be making a dozen of these for a Sunday Brunch that I'm going to next weekend. Thank you for stopping by and Have a Great Day!

Flower Power birthday card and RAKS

It was my grand daughters birthday this past weekend and as usual I made it last minute. She loves flowers so I had to make a quick simple one and found this Hero Arts stamp that I bought a month ago and thought of her since she loves flowers. When ever she comes to my house she always has flowers in her hair.

Make and takes made at Denise's house.

This past weekend I was invited to a craft gathering at Denise's house along with other crafters. We made a few make and takes "Thanks" to Denise and Justine. Thanks everyone who was there! It sure was alot of fun to craft and share with everyone there. Denise thanks so much for inviting us and opening your home to share in the fun of crafting with each other.

Below are the RAKs that we all shared with each other.....Thanks everyone!!

Hot chocolate holders

I've been wanting to make a holder for the hot chocolate packets for awhile since I've seen it online somewhere. I don't know where I saw it but decided to just make my own measurements and it could also be used to put images in them too. I didn't do much to it and wanted to just make it simple. I may add some flowers to it....maybe when I get up in the morning I may want to add them....I'll see. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and I will surely stop by some blogs tomorrow to check out all your creations too. I've been working both days and nights the past weeks and never get the chance to surf any blogs lately.
