Car Seat Cover!

Winter is in full force here in the Midwest! So I thought I would share a sewing creation of mine that has been getting lots of use!

I saw the tutorial on Cluck, Cluck Sew HERE and knew I wanted to try it! I just opted for warmer fabrics!


So here Quinn's carseat cover!

I do have one more MLS project to share! I totally forgot to post this layout from last month! MLS partnered with the fabulous sketch site Pencil Lines. This was my take on one of the sketches. You can see the post on their blog HERE.

Last month we also partnered with Tattered Angels! You can see one of their Bingo cards here. I used it as a photo mat and sprayed it with mist!!!



This photo will help you see the layering and depth of the flowers!! :)


I didn't have chipboard alphas in the pink color I wanted. So I just sprayed what I had with the pink Tattered Angels mist! I think it is such a cool effect!!! You can see it with the word "bun" in my title.

Just one more shot of the layered flowers (bottom one sprayed with the blue mist from Tattered Angels) along with the Bingo card I used as the photo mat.

And here is the final layout! I rarely scrap myself but I decided this baby needed it's first layout! ;)


Have a fabulous Father's Day!!
Be Blessed!!!

Mini Tutorial

I completely forgot! I had a mini tutorial up on the Scrap That Baby blog - and I didn't post it here!!! Oops!!! You can see the post on our blog HERE or keep reading!!!

Today I want to show you a different way to use fabric on your creations!

You will need: fabric scraps, heat n bond iron on adhesive, iron, sewing machine, disappearing fabric pen, various threads and your scrapbook creation

1)
1. Grab two scraps of fabric. Follow the instructions on the adhesive package to adhere the two scraps together.

2) 2. Next, use your pen to draw any fun shapes or letters you want to use.

3) 3. Now use your sewing machine to stitch around your drawings. And then cut around the edge of your stitching.

4)
4. Now you have a super fun embellishment! The best part is that it is cute on both sides AND it is isn’t flimsy!!

5) Add it to your favorite scrapbook creation!

Thanks for taking a peek! Have a blessed day!

I Can Sew!!!!!

Before you read this entire post, keep in mind that I still consider myself a newbie when it comes to sewing! I have sooooo much more to learn! But I am loving this new hobby of mine! Do you think Jeff would build me a sewing room to go along with my scrapbook room?!?! I know better than to ask!!

It seems that lately I have been surrounded by pregnant family members and friends!!! So I have been trying my hand at sewing baby gifts!!! They are way too fun and addicting! This weekend was a baby shower for my dear friend Cris. She is pregnant with her third child. Her first two are boys and this one is a girl!!!!! As you can imagine, this shower was filled with pink! Baby Larkin in going to be one spoiled little girl (as it should be!!)

This is what I created for Little Miss Larkin!!

Now, it was my FIRST time making a bib and a burp cloth - just keep that in mind and don't inspect too closely! I have made 2 more bibs since and they turned out MUCH better!!!!

My new favorite this to make is sensory blankets! I have made them in all different sizes with a variety of fabric types. My obsession for ribbon has come in handy with these!!!!


This is a small burp cloth!

And this one could be a lap blanket or a larger burp rag or a changing blanket! Whatever it is they need at the moment!!!

I cannot tell you how much fun I am having while I learn how to sew! Stay tuned for more sewing goodness in the next few weeks!!!

Baby Reveal and a Winner!!!!

We had our appointment this morning!!! We put Kennedy in her "Big Sister" t-shirt and brought her along. Today we were at the perinatalogists office and we saw a doctor we hadn't seen before. To say she had no bedside manner was an understatement! BUT, we got the news we were hoping for! The baby is looking perfectly healthy! Praise God! We are so thankful for that report! After the appointment I took Kennedy to get some balloons! And I attempted to get her photo with the balloons to send to all our family and friends via phone. But it was so darn windy I didn't have much luck! The best photo ended up being one we took in the car! So are you ready for the answer?! Boy or Girl? Take a look!!!

We are all very excited!!!!!

Now I know you all want to know who the winner is!!!!
It is obviously a GIRL and the heartrate was 153!!!!!

Trying again without typos! LOL!

I am so happy for you!! Congratulations! My prayer is for a healthy, happy baby...but my guess is a girl with a heartrate of 152.

SO happy for you!!!

Hugs!!
