Love is in the Air

Valentine's Day is almost here!

I'm excited this year because my daughter and I get to make Valentine's for her pre-school friends.

I found a cute project for us to make on another blog. Take a look!

What will your little one be giving out for Valentine's this year??

Christmas Fabric Banner

I love fabric banners.
I have the cutest cupcake fabric banner in my:

home office/craft room/sewing room/Christmas present hiding place.
{I only wish I could remember what shop it's from. :( }


This ho-ho-holiday one caught my eye while perusing Etsy for hours a few minutes today.

Nestables has this and more eye-catching banners in her Etsy store. There are also many awesome pillow covers I'm totally wanting.....

Warm Baby Legs

Baby/toddler leggings seem to be a big 'thing' right now.

And I love 'em!


I actually purchased a few pair for my daughter over 3 years ago from an online store (and subsequently used them for my son-under his pants of course. They are pink).

These leggings are just too cute with the added furriness!

The little girl who wears these will surely make a fashion statement!

Get some for the precious princess in your life at Posh Pipsqueak's Etsy store. There are lots of styles to choose from.

PINK Jewelry

My oh my how I love the beautiful jewelry over at Katy Beads Etsy shop.

Especially this pink charm.

It's calling my name.

I don't care if this is October's birthstone and my birthday is in July.

I love it.

Find more beautiful baubles at Katybeads.

Which do I want more......

I'll Be Yarned

Gotta love the cute little 'cocoons' in I'll Be Yarned's store.

This listing specifically states that it is ONLY for the cocoon*.

You mean that darling baby isn't included? Darn.

There are MORE darling items at I'll Be Yarned. It's just a click away!

(*She's really referring to the cute matching hat that can be purchased separately.)

Design Team Memeber

Hi everyone! I've got some GREAT news. I am now officially a Design Team Member for

Fairy Land Dreams Designs

Yay!
For my first project I used the Christmas Reindeer digistamp and the Candy House digistamp.

Here is what I did:

Candy House:
This is a cute gift bag made out of an envelope!

I colored in the Candy House digistamp house using Copic Markers. I only have the basic 12 color set right now but I really think they are awesome markers.

I added glitter to look like snow on the ground and on the tops of the candy canes. I also used fine glitter on the smoke coming out of the chimney.

I used red and white polka dotted ribbon for the bow on the front and for the handle on the bag. To add the handles I attached grommets to the sides of the bags, threaded the ribbon through and tied a knot on the inside of the bag
I had a cute candy cane button that I used to embellish the bow. I thought I tied in nicely with the candy canes on the stamp!

Christmas Reindeer:
I made a cute gift tag using traditional and non-traditional colors!

I used Copic Markers to also color in the reindeer and fussy cut him out. If you look closely there is glitter on his antlers, chest and blanket. He's edged with ink (as well as the red tag). I attached him with pop-ups to give dimension.

Stitching and stickles glitter glue was added to the green and blue polka dotted paper under the reindeer to give some texture. Edges were inked.
I love flowers and I stacked teal and red together with a pewter brad and added it to the tag with a zots dot.
Finally a grosgrain brown stitched ribbon was added! Fun!

I'll be doing more fun projects in the upcoming months so keep a lookout!
