I absolutely love Shabby Princess scrapbooking supplies. They are the first website I found with free digital kits - I have downloaded all of them, and that is where I turn when I find myself in a rut. Their supplies are just so gorgeous! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every month they have a 'template challenge.' It's great for beginners like me, because you get to download a free template to work with, and the winner is random, not based on your page.</div>

This month I couldn't resist doing a page on Cadence's new sweater. Unfortunately, I couldn't choose just two photos, so I altered the template a little ;) </div>

Here is what I did with it - apparently I can't ever leave a template unaltered, even if I'm the one who made it, and even if I made it with specific details in mind. Sigh. </div>

This summer has been pretty crazy, but somewhere along the way I started playing around with this kit, and finally finished it :) It's based on a dress my daughter has, my husband said it looked like a smock, so I made a painting themed kit to scrapbook some pictures of her painting. To download the kit, just <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/u27hv3dqrq3dyyb/Paint%20%27n%20Gears.zip">click here. </a><br />

Original huh? ;) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway - at the party all the kids made party hats.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I set out supplies for each kid. You can see the hat lying flat (blue). I just opened up a store bought hat and traced it, but through trial and error you could get the same shape. When we were done we stapled them shut. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9V2qDldy3BPSss0VtF0ooQU4X9RzeLs31cfmDdwKqfXJxcWrjjk0sAdvAslcpQ1eEVz7sN-xSCxszPVJ-yWKeVpugXo4ZFKsXGPKDXZReD1Ub_7wa7YEFpVQcABcm8gBlejXyjhEgR_e4/s1600/DSC_0058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9V2qDldy3BPSss0VtF0ooQU4X9RzeLs31cfmDdwKqfXJxcWrjjk0sAdvAslcpQ1eEVz7sN-xSCxszPVJ-yWKeVpugXo4ZFKsXGPKDXZReD1Ub_7wa7YEFpVQcABcm8gBlejXyjhEgR_e4/s320/DSC_0058.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The cake was super easy. It is just a rectangle cake, and I cut circles and strips out of ready to use fondant.

I could not resist this elephant. And so I made my very first digital scrapbooking kit. <strong>That</strong> was an adventure! Lots of tutorials later, I have a very unprofessional kit to share with you :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkaISMG4M6YEOUodWloRlceHn1TJbeMauyGS2kbozOwnGdMprd3ApAadta4VkwH0Cgj1rZoTuV1o6n1aO811wb2Y0kTbFC6R_RawDzAgnVFDdL-q4bDyOHe7AFoxAJhFPVSyUmJE-6XxjQ/s1600/DSCN6505.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkaISMG4M6YEOUodWloRlceHn1TJbeMauyGS2kbozOwnGdMprd3ApAadta4VkwH0Cgj1rZoTuV1o6n1aO811wb2Y0kTbFC6R_RawDzAgnVFDdL-q4bDyOHe7AFoxAJhFPVSyUmJE-6XxjQ/s320/DSCN6505.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div align="center">Turns out, I am not so great at painting circles. This sign did not turn out the way I was envisioning, but I wound up liking it ok anyway. For the "leaves" (that don't look like leaves... the pumpkins were supposed to be nestled in a pile of leaves... yeah...) I cut little stamps out of foam and just squished them on over and over. Happy fall a little late everyone! </div><br />

Be kind! They were fun, and turned out to be a good starter project. If you are looking for a first project, here are some tips:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1. Find a shape with straight lines only, or very few gently curves. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. Also choose a simple shape, the larger the easier.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">3. Always use an iron-on tranfer, like Wonderunder, to make applique easier.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4. Knits and other stretchy fabrics are <strong>hard!</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Simply pop the front off a cheap clock, pull the arms off (they'll go back on - if you're gentle when you pull them off!). Then you can either decorate on the face provided, or use it to trace your own and apply your own numbers, as I did here. I love my Cricut! This one matches Cadence's room. The little bugs are cut directly out of her wallpaper border.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It has room around the edges to use push-pins for notes and such; the ribbon along the bottom has funky paper clips, there is a slot for writing beneath each envelope holder... Mainly I just loved using ribbon and scrapbooking supplies in a sewing project! Since this wasn't for me, I don't know how practical it would up being - but it was fun to make, so that's ok!Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02128299153736167823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453458919541952544.post-80727421016439788032010-11-10T10:00:00.000-08:002010-11-10T10:00:02.971-08:00Jeans Purses<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIoDXMvuFNizUlFzu8CwXMnA-lBS_1gT4VVxXdsXTKIMvVyMwTYjiiLWqflQMWeTtqQLlHG-H1uQ2U98pX_j8IKAT5yZ01DcnBQC22dLo0TFV3x7hBIA5wu8YEX4nhuYIiHiRLB5tujTdA/s1600/DSCN3179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIoDXMvuFNizUlFzu8CwXMnA-lBS_1gT4VVxXdsXTKIMvVyMwTYjiiLWqflQMWeTtqQLlHG-H1uQ2U98pX_j8IKAT5yZ01DcnBQC22dLo0TFV3x7hBIA5wu8YEX4nhuYIiHiRLB5tujTdA/s320/DSCN3179.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
These were somewhat difficult for me, since at this point I had done very little sewing. The basic concept was to cut the top off a pair of little boys jeans, line them, then add handles and a "belt". <br />
<br />

In retrospect they look kind of sloppy, but I still love the idea - and they were perfect for the purpose I had in mind. I gave them to the nieces for Christmas :) <br />

I also made little coin purses, which are super easy, even if you've never sewn before. A great starter project, and they can be adapted for SO many different uses. I'll try to do a short tutorial later. <br />

You buy white paper lunch bags, cover them with scrapbook paper, and decorate. I made sure each flap could be folded back to reveal more embellishments, and used the open end for a picture insert. They were fun! I did one for all of the younger nieces and nephews... Kristina, I promise I will do something for your boys! Soon! (I didn't have any recent pictures of them at the time... now I have internet, so I do... but I haven't been scrapbooking a lot recently!) Unfortunately, I don't seem to have any pictures of Rylea's. I loved her's, because I got to use my favorite colors. I also can't find pictures of Joshua's. Sigh. Oh well, this will give you the idea :) <br />

I finally found <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/57233715/accordion-walletclutch-sewing-pattern">this tutorial</a> for sale online, and decided to give it a try. Since there are only five slots, I had to make dividers for my cash, but the dividers are cute too. Yay for digital scrapbooking! This turned out to be really cute and nice, and is working great for me so far. I think I will also try this <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/07/coupon-clutch.html">Coupon Clutch</a> from the Moda Bake Shop, but this is working awesome until I get around to it. <br />

This will be Cadence's Halloween costume, and then she can wear it anytime while we cook or bake together. </div><div></div><br /><div>This isn't really a detailed explanation or tutorial, but I did include some general instructions for the apron. </div><br /><br />First I traced the shape I wanted on newspaper, then cut it out of nice sturdy fabric.

This time I used a two and a half inch strip, leaving plenty of excess for the ties. Fold in half and stitch down the length, right sides together. Turn right side out. For the top, iron in half and stitch to either side. Trim off excess. For the side pieces, iron in half <strong>just</strong> on the section you will use as binding. Stitch this part only, so it is attatched on the front and back. Repeat with the other side.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGYK6Cq1H0kfQI_olwbzmVsvOZzdcvnugWWQhRY5qro7zYvrPp6lxfHCvS49DI3OpcdPivv7lY9q7UktxPXyfwkE6OHU4O5J1SJSqGlOIrCfYOnp3w04V7IZwvDytRWSyZLYTCfnsZX63m/s1600/DSCN6155.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516486271774261730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGYK6Cq1H0kfQI_olwbzmVsvOZzdcvnugWWQhRY5qro7zYvrPp6lxfHCvS49DI3OpcdPivv7lY9q7UktxPXyfwkE6OHU4O5J1SJSqGlOIrCfYOnp3w04V7IZwvDytRWSyZLYTCfnsZX63m/s320/DSCN6155.JPG" /></a> Trim ties to desired length.

I decided I didn't want forks scattered all over the table (there wasn't really room...) so I lined a Lipton tea box with tissue paper and wrapped scrapbook paper around it to hold it in place. Super easy and they looked cute on the cake table. The scrapbook paper matched the page I made for each party in Cadence's scrapbook. I put the pages out where people could sign them at the parties, so we will always remember who was there. </div></div>Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02128299153736167823noreply@blogger.com0
