~Fun Fall Cards~


Hey there and happy fall y'all!

I am really into making fall cards this year, I have no clue why but for
some reason they are calling me! LOL
Maybe it's the fall kit I am working with-
For these cards I used the Farmer's Market November Kit 
from the Scraptastic Kit Club, I used the patterned paper
which had these adorable cards on them. Then I layered goodness. 
Honestly they took me all of 30 minutes! I love that. 
Oh I also added glitter inside the house heart, just for shits and giggles! LOL
**shhh** don't tell anyone I cussed on here....:) 
That's it for me today, this kids have a 3 hour day so I need to get rocking and rolling!
Happy fall my friends and please do share what you are crafting today!

**GIFT IDEAS** Don't Sew?? Easy Couture Apron For You!

Good morning my crafty friends, 
I have a fun little project to share today, you know I craft with paper
and everything else but I also sew...but this is for all my friends
who don't sew! Or who don't sew very much. :) 

These aprons make fantastic handmade gifts just in time for the holidays too!
All you need is 1 yard of fabric, a pre-made apron, ribbon, and embellishments. 
I used Blumenthal Lansing buttons, ribbons, and ric rac.

I just went to Walmart and bought 3.00 a yard fabric. 
Took my 2.99 apron. Take the apron and cut the ties off. 
KEEP THEM and keep them sorted! LOL The neck and the two sides.

Now lay the apron FACE DOWN onto the fabric. 
Trimmer the fabric around the apron, leaving about 1" all the way around. 
Then I folded the fabric over the edges- pinning it. Then just stitched around the apron. 
You could also use an iron on adhesive if you really don't sew at all. 

Then I drew a line in pencil where I wanted to ric rac to sit. 
I pinned the ric rac into it. I stitched it down but you could easily adhere
 it with fabric adhesive, or just hand tack it down. 

Take the ties you cut off earlier, cut ribbon to match the same lengths and
sew/tack the ribbons back on in the same spots as the ties. 
Add flowers or whatever embellishment your heart desires!
That's it! A handmade apron, beautiful and perfect for any cook or crafter!

I just thought it would be a fun project to share with you all in time
for the holidays and just for kicks! MUAH!
