Barbie's Hardly Working

Last night was my little sister's 34th birthday. My parents and I took her out to dinner with her girls.

Her three-year-old left her Barbie at the restaurant. I told my sister that I would bring it with me to work today and she could come and pick it up after lunch. We had way too much fun with Barbie at work today… check out  the flipagram of Barbie Hardly Working!


FYI I'm a dental hygienist...We are usually busy...my dad is my boss and he was coaching me with the compositions...and yes, we eat candy 'round here!

Ultimate Baseball Fan Package!

My first attempt at applique! I wanted to make something original to donate to my son's high school baseball team's silent auction. Burlap garden flags are so popular right now, but I wanted colorful. I designed my flag and made a pattern. I loved the chevron material and wanted to use it for the background. The school colors are purple and gold, hence the purple "A". I machine stitched the applique pieces on with a zigzag stitch, and on the baseball I embellished with some hand embroidery fly stitching.

I also made some spirit finger gloves and a purple and gold fleece tie blanket to make the Ultimate Fan Package! 

My husband gets upset when I spend time making things for other people. I rarely make things for myself. He was the highest bidder in the silent auction and bought my Ultimate Fan Package! Sweet man...I love it!

NBUS Stencil Challenge February 2014

This is one of my cards for NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff) Monthly Challenge at Club Scrap. This month was the stencil challenge. The stencil used for this card was from the A Study in Red Club Scrap kit from 2008. I absolutely loved this kit! 

This digi card was made from elements in the Common Threads Club Scrap digital kit. I made the stencil using the brush tool in Photoshop Elements 12 and the stencil image in the kit. The wood texture background was an image from Digital Scrapper's blending class. I wanted my card to look like I took a picture of it on my patio!
