1st Thursday Of The Month.. It's Blog Hoppin` Time!


Woot!! Good early morning to you! Make sure you grab a cuppa coffee or your favorite warm beverage, your fuzzy bunny slippers and a big blanket to curl up in and hop around with us! I always love the blog hop. It is so much fun to see the creativity that our group has! This month's challenge was to use fabric. When I thought about this at first.. I was like.. stumped! What? Fabric? But, I do NOT sew. I can't even thread a machine (no joke). Here is what i came up with and I hope you enjoy the projects:

Yes, we are now dressed up and going to the (gum) ball! You are saying.. EH? Inside the bag, are Valentine colored gumballs.. and the dress and well.. you get the idea! I was trying to be funny! *watching the lead balloon fall*. Ha!





What I used:

Real Red Card Stock
Whisper White Card Stock
Very Vanilla Card Stock
Basic Black Card Stock
Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
Apothecary Accents Framelits
5/8 inch Flower Trim
1/8  inch Taffeta Ribbon - Real Red
More Amore Designer Fabric
Basic Jewels Pearls
Sticky Strip

And the next project, the bag..

Dawn, this is simply BEAUTIFUL!!! What works of art you created...so simple, but so stunning! The dress is so pretty with that fabric and the extra little touches. And, I am loving that little cellophane bag with the fabric bow. So cute!
