Friendzy Friday - Butterfly Frame!
So I have loved these since the first time I seen this one many years ago.
Ali Edwards Butterfly Collage
So once I seen Av's frame last DT reveal I said I can do one in a smaller size for my crafty space!
You don't need a lot of supplies! I used my butterfly punch but the heart punch would be supah cute too!
I then popped a 5x7 peice of white cardstock into the frame and traced around the edge.
I then made a mess making a grid to fit the butterflies into the frame. Chalk that up to baby brain!
Once I found the right spacing... I poked holes so I could locate the grid pattern from the other side and still hide it!
Then I glued all the buttler flies over the hole pokes and stamped a sentiment!
Easy peasy!
So fun and now it is on the shelf in my room!
Sorry for the craptastic lighting!

Sewing Cuteness!!
Hello All,
Sneaking in another sewing project! A friend just had her baby at 32 weeks and they are still in the NICU and so I whipped up this little owl to keep him company. No mind you itis bigger than his modest 5lbs! It took me 2 nights but only cause Abby woke up just after I finished cutting the patterns on night 1 but I finished him up the next night.
I used a tutorial from Make It Love It and here is the link... Snuggly Owl and I paired it with My Happy Garden fabrics from Cloud 9 and a little minky dot and some Papertrey Ink Felt .
Now I changed it up a bit because it was for a smaller baby and didn't make it as thick and didn't stuff the feet.
I think he loved it! LOL

Little Red Wagon - Animals!
This is what I love about being part of this challenge group and Loonie Stampers Challenge group... they make me do things I wouldn't normally do and I end up loving the end result!
I would never sit down and say I think I will make a card with an animal on it! But thanks to Regs I did and I love it! And thanks to LRW I am using up my Stampin Up cardstock like it is going out of style!
Now head over to Little Red Wagon and check out the other animals... tee hee!

Sewing!
Sewing Bee was great!
I will have more pictures of us and the other projects I worked on but for now I just wanted to show a little lumbar pillow I made to use in my nursing rocking chair! It matches her quilt!

Flower ATC Swap!
We are having our first ATC Swap at the 2 Scrapbook Friends Forum and everyone is starting to post theirs! You can head over there to check the rest out as 12 people played along!
Here is mine... I have a super simple style but when I do these swaps I always get nervous that no one will like mine cause it is too simple! So I try really hard to make something detailed!
I hope they like!!
And here they are all lined up!
I used some older Chatterbox paper, lots of stitching and inking. A few Martha punches, some left over Making Memories trim and stickles! I also used an entire set of Martha Doilies... proud of me?
I can't wait to pick up my entire set! :)
