Crafting Goodness

So first of all, I owe you all an apology.  I have been MIA for awhile and it was only because I lost my mojo for awhile.  You see, I applied to be a designer at Scrap Orchard and didn’t make the cut.  Needless to say, I was a bit sad about that…well really A LOT sad about it, but I am quite sure I was up against some really great talent!  It was actually exciting just to have a shot.  So I have taken a little break from scrapping.  Although I do have a little freebie at the end of this post. In the meantime, I have become ADDICTED to stumbleupon which is this website that allows to stumble through other websites that match your interests.  LOVE IT!! There’s also an Iphone app (as if I need another time sucking app on my phone!)

So here are some things I am working on now:

Mandipidy has this ADORABLE book page necklace.

I am almost done with mine.  I bought the wrong size jump rings for the pearls I bought!  So I’ll post pics soon and let you know how it turned out.  I thought this would be such a great gift for our librarian at school (really its just for me, but I’m sure a librarian would love it! Super CUTE!!

Sarah Ortega has a great blog!  It’s one of my favorites!  She has a tutorial for fingerprint jewelry.

I have finished mine, but I wasn’t really impressed with how my first batch turned out so I am going to make another set.  I want to turn one into a necklace for my MIL and the other into a keychain for father’s day.  Oh, and I am going to, of course, make one for myself.  But since I don’t wear necklaces all that much, I thought I’d make myself a charm bracelets.

And lastly (for now!), I am sure you have seen the rolled fabric flowers all over the internet.  Well maybe you haven’t but trust me if you start looking you’ll find them EVERYWHERE!  I found some cute ones with feathers at The Mother Huddle.

These were SUPER easy to make.  I mean SUPER-DUPER easy!  And the results are stunning!  This is my kind of craft!  I wasn’t sure how I was going to do with this one so I just purchased some remnant fabric at the store and got to rolling. Here’s how mine turned out.

I will so be making more of these for all the little (and bigger) girls in my family. I know our little princesses will love them.  Especially with the feathers!

So now that I am getting my mojo back, you can expect some more digital scrapbooking goodies to come your way.  In the meantime, you can download a pack of stitched alphas below.  Hope you enjoy them!
