@SassyCatJamee

Christmas Papercraft Giveaway *closed*- $30 Value!

Do you scrapbook? Make Christmas cards?? Papercraft in general???

If you said yes, that's great! I do none of those things. 

I've never liked working with paper because if you make a mistake you've basically ruined everything. You can't rip the seams on a card and try again like you can when sewing

...and let's just face it I'm kind of a quitter.

Well anyway, this sad reality works out really well for you, my (soon-to-be) loyal blog readers,

 because I am giving away everything you see below:

\

o - Recollections Stamp Set - Includes 30  stamps and 3 stamp pads

o - 50 sheets of assorted 8.5 x 11" Christmas colored cardstock

o - Elizabeth Brownd 18 sheet 4x6" Designer Mat Pad

A few favorite old projects

I was looking through some old folders today and came across photos of some projects I've done in the past.  Since these are items I have no intention of selling in my shop, I've never posted about them before. 

This is one of my absolute favorites, and I am quite sad that I gave this away in a swap:

Can you guess what it's made from? 

It's a thrift-store skirt, recycled into a tote bag!

This is one that I made for myself, immediately following. 

(Alicia, if you ever read this - I'm sorry for my plagiarism! I just couldn't get them out of my head)

As a matter of fact, I do have a tutorial on craftster for this very bag, so you can make your own!

Next up....

ZOMBIE KITTY!

 This was made for swap on Craftster, and I'm a little sad I no longer own it. It took forever! The "scars" are hand-embroidered on linen, and the faux fur was hand-stitched on top of that. 

It gives it a really great undead look in real life. 

This was a custom order on etsy for a boxy clutch - I think it came out pretty well!

Space for cards, fully lined...

I'm think of making a tutorial on this, what do you think?

Dollar-store Frame, revamped with lace! The cat picture is just a placeholder....

It's gold underneath, so it looks really pretty in the light :)

I hope you enjoyed these projects, feel free to ask questions if you 

want more details on how they were done!

Scrap Happy Patchwork Swap on Craftster - Completion!

I've sent to and received from my partner, Abbeyrd83 on Craftster for this swap. I was definitely spoiled :)

Here's a couple pics of what I sent. First, I sent one of my wallets made using the scrappy patchwork technique I posted earlier. 

 Next, I saw a box pouch on her wists and used scrap fabrics to make this one:

I love the blue zipper! 

For extras, I sent some Beatles themed magnets since Abbeyrd83 is a huge fan.

I also sent some chocolate-drizzled Sour Patch Kids (amazing btw), but they didn't photograph well.  I hope my partner enjoyed everything!
