Thomas the Train blanket

My little one LOVES Thomas the train. I made him a little bag a while back and I thought it would be cute to make a little blanket too. So I did. There were two squares left over so I made a tiny 'squishy' for him too. He just holds it in his hand and squishes it (so that is why he calles it a squishy).

Guy card

I have a workshop this Friday and the hostess requested a guy card. This Tool Time stamp set is just perfect. There are sentiments on each stamp but I trimmed them off and mounted them on the side of my wood block so I could use the tools and sentiments separately.

Stamps: Tool Time
Ink: Black
CS: Chocolate Chip, Vanilla, Always Artichoke, To the Nines DS
Other: Silver Brads, Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Watercolor Pencils, Blender Pen, Cutter Kit

Chick box

I made this cute little box for an upcoming workshop. There are little chocolate eggs inside. These would be fun to put at each persons plate if you were having an Easter lunch. Or they are just fun to give out to people.

Stamps: A Good Egg
Ink: Crushed Curry, Black
CS: Crushed Curry, Pink Passion, White, Bermuda Bay DS
Other: Bermuda Bay ribbon, Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punch, Big Shot, Box # 2 Die

Ashley's purse

My daughter asked me to make her one of the rag bags with skull fabric. She just loves skulls for some reason (you can see her pajama pants in the picture and the shirt she has on behind the purse has a skull too). Anyway, I found some pink and glittery skull fabric at Walmart and made her this purse. It turned out pretty cute (for skulls). :)

Gumball machine (with M & M's)

Wow, two posts in two days....I am on a roll. :) This is the card I came up with for my stamp club this Friday night. I got the original idea from Becky Roberts. I just changed it into a full card.

CS: Real Red, Black, White
Other: Ribbon, Treat Cups, 1 3/4 circle punch, Round Tab punch, M & M's

Cased Sympathy card

I needed to make a bunch of sympathy cards for someone at work. I completely cased this card from Jan Tinklenberg. Us ally I change up something when I case but this card was perfect and you just can't mess with perfection!

CS: Sahara Sand, Always Artichoke, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla
Other: Vintage Brads, Jumbo Antique Brass eyelets, Always Artichoke 1/4" grosgrain, Crop a Dial

Another Rag Bag

These rag bags are addictive! Here is another one that I made. I think I am getting better at it. They are so easy to do. It takes about two hours or so to make one. You can cut out eight fabric squares at one time with the Big Shot and the Scallop Square die. I think I am going to try to make a quilt for my bed. :) If you would like directions to make these bags Angie has an awesome video on her blog here. That is how I learned how to make them.
