Chloe's Crafty Mommy - A Place to Share what I do!

So, sewing, not as easy as it looks! lol I have been trying to teach myself to sew. I even bought a fancy new sewing machine on that night of nights where we can sit in our pj's and watch all the crafty goodness on HSN for a whole day!!! lol It is like a holiday for me...lol! Anyway...here are a few of the small projects I have made while trying to learn about working with fabric and sewing! :) Josi

My hope is to bring myself up to date with what I have done and then as I make things actually post the story and how i put it together or made in a timely manner, etc. So...I have a few more pic posts to do before I get to that point...lol!! :) Josi

Well, with both my daughter and I in school and my husband working full time and serving in the National Guard, it seems I am always busy! I find time to get crafty I just don't find time to blog about it much!! I am going to do a few pic posts of some of the things I have been up to!!

I used a tutorial which can be found Freedom In Creating by Michelle Zindorf This was so fun to make! The original is absolutely stunning and I am more than pleased with how mine turned out! I couldn't have been more surprised to see the tutorial and find out how easy it was for such great results!! How fantastic!

Here is my entry for the Think Pink challenge! This challenge is especially exciting for me becasue I registered to walk in the 3-Day For The Cure in 2011!! How cool would it be to win a pink expression and/or the Pink Journey cartridge right now? lol Well, I used a digi stamp from Whimsie Doodles for the card front and used the colored pencil and Gamsol technique to color image. For the challenge we were to use: Pink, Ruffles, Scallops, Flourishes, Glitter and Jewels ( incorporate any 3 on your project) and at least 2 cricut cuts on our project to qualify. I used a scalloped circle from Mini Monograms Cartridge, The background on both the card front and inside were from Once Upon A Princess, and the awareness ribbon is from Designer's Calender. I used stickles glitter on the ribbon and pink gems on the circle behind it and black on the pink background inside card and pink throughout. Have I mentioned how super exciting this all is? lol LOVE IT!! How will I ever sleep tonight? lol...
