Love bug pin cushion

A little handmade pin cushion made by running fabric through the Big Shot along  with Spellbinders scallop square metal die.

The pin cushion is stuffed with polyester batting right underneath the button. After sewing around the edges of the fabric I made a small scissor snip on the top fabric piece and stuffed the cushion using a tooth pick. Then added a few buttons to cover the opening.

Super easy and fast to make....

Made for Simon Says have a heart challenge!

Christmas Angel ATC Ornament

I  made this ATC Christmas ornament for my swap partner in Australia.  The background text is from a Christmas carol sheet combined with Hero Arts  CG222 Music Background stamp. I tried to keep the colours on the cool side by using some silver Stickles and Iced spruce distress ink.

I have entered this in the Simon Says "gift-spiration" Challenge http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/2012/12/challenge-gift-spiration.html

Thanks for looking and take care if you are effected by the snow storm traveling through the US and Canada. Looks like it will be a White Christmas for some,  here in Toronto we always seem to miss having snow for the holidays (I will still be dreaming of a White Christmas :)

Merry Christmas.

Shadow box ATC - Silent Night

 

 

 

Hope you are doing well. Just a super quick post before bed tonight!  I made these little ATC shadow boxes for our monthly ATC exchange at my LSS.

There is a little copic airbrushing on the snow and background along with a few yummy Hero Arts stamps. Added to the background is "all is calm" and "All is bright", its a bit hard to see but her little song book has Silent Night on the outside.

Have a great week! Thank you for peaking in :)
