~When Crafting Goes Bad~ hehe

Good morning my crafty friends!

That's right...sometimes crafting goes bad LOL

I was working on this project with my YuDu this week and

adding some flowers and flourishes with white in and

wouldn't you know it???

Not only was the screen bad (from using it so much) and it left a mark

but also the white ink bottle broke in my hand!! LOL

I am happy I took pictures before I ruined it....OI!

I really have to stop being so hard on myself and just let it go...

I thought I would share with you the pre-mess outfit!! :)

Anyways, I am knee deep in inventory for Tally Scrapper

it all came yesterday and I am working to fill old orders.

Then off to Fed Ex and the PO. They are calling for snow tomorrow

and it looks like possibly 4" so I better get done now!

I hope you have better luck with your crafting today!!

~Have a wonderful Tuesday~

~Handmade baby shower gifts and a little more chat~

Good morning my crafty friends!
It's another wonderful hot day inTN.

Purple Cows asked me to make a project
that involved a gift for a baby shower.
I am the first to admit I was stumped.

Then I got to thinking, what if we re-invented the wheel a bit?
EVERY new mom wants to share baby pictures.
I remember being a new mom with a wallet full of photos.

That lead me to think about how to make it more fun!
How to make it more crafty!
But also durable.

Then it came to me...HELLO Laminator! :)

I can make a mini book for all those first pictures...
but also make an awesome HOLDER for it!

So any mom could slip it into her purse or diaper bag
and not worry about it being ruined.

That's how I ended up with this project.
A mini album with a laminated wallet/pocket for the
mini album, that you could take anywhere.

What do ya think? Cute right? I like it :)
Of course I used my handy dandy Helmar
Adhesive Runner and 450 Quick Dry!
*I always do* LOL

Sometime soon Purple Cows will have the full tutorial and step
by step on how to make your own.
That's my project for the day. I am
pleased with the end result..now to find a new mom
who needs a baby book! LOL

~Have a GREAT Thursday~
I am going to bake cakes today for hubsters!
We are going to surprise him with a cake and ballooons
at work for his birthday. Oh he is going to kill me LOL

~Thanks for popping by~
