About Me

My Photo
Fresno, California, United States
I'm a life-long crafter with a passion for miniatures and scrapbooking and anything else that satisfies my need to CREATE. The loves of my life are my sweet baby girl, McKenna (born November 2007) and my husband of nearly 10 years, Ryan. I'm also furmom to Pinkerton, the piebald dachshund, Weezer the mostly-weenie part-moose dog and I'm still missing my Ziggy. They are my inspiration and motivation.

A New Layout To Share!

Time for the latest Design Team reveal for Practical Scrappers. The challenge this week is to use our basic shape punches. I really had no idea what I was going to do, since I don't have that many punches - and my only basic punches are a circle and triangle. I started playing around with my triangle punch, and I was inspired by quilts again. (You may have seen my crazy quilt post from a few weeks ago...) Then I remembered this picture of McKenna and my MIL, and it all kind of came together.



I punched holes all around the edge of my cardstock and crocheted a simple chain with DMC floss, and added some more country style embellies, including my triangle "quilt", which is simply made of triangles punched from various papers, adhered to cardstock, and then faux stitched together.
Cardstock - Bazzill
Patterned Paper - Little Yellow Bicycle, Tinkering Ink, DCWV
Alphas (black) - Doodlebug Design
Red Alphas, Buttons - stash

Come back tomorrow and you'll see what I created using my circle punch
