I made this card for my mother in law for helping me start my "Sewing career" Kind of cute, eh?

And this, this I have been just about giddy over. I made this absolutely crazy and loud skirt for Lindsay for Christmas. I had oodles of fabric left over so I made her Build a Bear a matching skirt - which turned into a dress. :) I'm making them for each of my girls now in different fabric. I hope she's as excited as I am about it! (And I hope she doesn't figure out how to check my blog and sees this).

This post is for my crafting sister in Washington...I tried to send an email, but attaching all these pictures was taking forever! So I decided I should update my craft blog while I was at it!
The new glasses...Kristen requested a picture and I know she'll check this blog, so here ya go!
The pumpkin idea that I stole from Amannda's porch (I should clarify that I didn't STEAL them, I stole the idea and made them - we've had a few things stolen off porches around here lately).

My beaded watch band that I made at Super Saturday this past weekend. Love it and can't wait to try to make another one.
The other one I bought...probably because she called it the "Twilight" band. Smart women. Very smart.
The covers I made for my ugly throw pillows. Notice how awful my walls look with my bedding? That's my next project, we just can't decide on a color for the walls yet!
And the Christmas cards I made the other night while watching Gilmore Girls. As long as I'm doing something, it's not wasteful time!

July crafts

2009-07-24T10:04:00.001-07:00

I got this idea from Pioneer Party's VT message for the month. I changed it up a little bit. It says, "When life hands you lemons...make lemonade." And it hangs on a water bottle with a packet of lemonade that you pour in the water.
This is yet another block project. I didn't really like how it turned out - I goofed and did the stripes vertical instead of horizontal-, but it has grown on me this month.

Today's projects

2009-05-26T11:00:00.000-07:00

I think my goal should be to post once a month, eh?

Today I finished up a few projects that I've been working on.

My sister Tracy bought the pattern for these cute little Father's Day blocks, so we mass-produced them for her Primary class of 7, my class of 11, and my niece's class off 6. So, if your kid is in my Primary class - they will be bringing one of these home in a few weeks! It was practically free to make, I just had to buy the little clothespins.

And this is my bag for card swap this month. I fell in love with the paper and had to have it. It was fun this month to make a bag instead of a card, but lots more work (and $$). I'm excited to see the 8 bags I get back!

Teacher appreciation week

2009-04-25T20:41:00.000-07:00

Next week is teacher appreciation week at school. I was asked to help and I had SO MUCH FUN doing these projects! You know when you have a vision in your head of how things will turn out? Neither of these ended up how I saw them, but I'm still pleased!
Her class is totally out of gluesticks. Maddie has been complaining about all week, so I made her a glue stick bouquet with 30 glue sticks. It's a little over-stuffed with flowers, but oh well! I filled the jar with M&M's. Thanks to Jennica for the sticks.

And this is for her door. Those are bananas. Jeramy gave me a hard time about the moons with monkeys. Each banana has a child's name on it. (the blank ones are for the afternoon class). Thanks to Christi for letting me drool all over her Cricut Expressions.

And thanks to Marie for letting me do this - it's been so fun to have a project to keep me busy this week!

magnet board

2009-04-14T10:40:00.000-07:00

Here's the kids' magnet board for the playroom. I'm not crazy about the paper I chose, but oh well. Macie has already peeled all the letters off, so I'll probably just redo the whole things soon enough.

It's been a while...

2009-04-08T12:38:00.001-07:00

Here's a few of my lastest projects. This is my card for card swap with the magical pink/black ink.

These are the famous Easter blocks. Not as awful to make as the Valentine's Day blocks. My father is a very patient man.

And I did this bag for a baby shower I'm going to tonight. I am loving the Doodlecharm font for my Cricut.

Hopefully more posts to come...

Layouts # ???

2008-09-11T11:08:00.000-07:00

Macie's first Halloween

Macie while Forsyths and Perkins were here

Lindsay's book random picutres.

I'm going to have to admit, I haven't done any layouts this week. :( These are from last week. I've been working on the Primary bulliten boards for the rest of the year, so I'll post that later!

Day # 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 - I think.

2008-09-03T13:58:00.000-07:00

Oh man. I've been trying to get stuff done, but losing steam. Might be a few days before I get a chance to work on some more pages. I am excited about the progress I've made. I've been skipping around a lot now. This first one is how we chose Macie's name.

Playing at Grandma Jeans for Maddie's book.
T-Point farm for Maddie's book. I need to print the pictures still for the blank page. Yes, Kristen, I Cricuted the animals.
I've been making bows again. My niece's boyfriend works for American Craft and hooked me up with some ribbon. Felt like Christmas for me! Now if only my girls had clothes that matched...
My messy little eater Macie. Love the flowers on the bottom of this one...Cricut.

Day #6, 7 & 8

2008-08-28T09:16:00.000-07:00

So, I've been scrapbooking everyday, but that means less time for blogging. I'm still having fun doing it, too. That's good, right?
These are Maddie and Lindsay's zoo trip, and then the first page of Lindsay's new scrapbook.
Kristen, pretty much everything is done with my cricut. It's my best friend ever - even more than you. Would you just buy one already so we can be Cricut buddies??

Day #5

2008-08-25T09:51:00.000-07:00

This is Maddie's for the same days. I really try to just do the same layout, but I can't do it!

Day #4

2008-08-25T09:50:00.000-07:00

So, I forgot to post this weekend, but here's my layout for day #4. This is for Lindsay's book.

Day #3

2008-08-21T15:47:00.000-07:00

Here's our trip to the zoo. I think this one is Lindsay's page. Still need to fill the big white hole by the giraffe, but good enough for now!
I decided to start with our most recent things and work backwards. And yes, I am glad that I blog so I can go back and read my thoughts about what happened that day.

Day #2

2008-08-20T14:08:00.001-07:00

Maddie's Lagoon page. Slightly different.

Scrapbooking

2008-08-19T22:21:00.000-07:00

I've let my scrapbooking really slip over the past year. I feel like my blogging is as good as scrapbooking, but my DH still thinks I need to scrapbook. I know that he is so supportive because when I'm scrapbooking, he has "Jeramy time"
It's time to catch up. I haven't quite caught the digital bug yet, so I'm doing things the old fashioned way - by hand. I'm setting a goal of 30 layouts in 30 days. Hope I can do it, I'll post as I go. I keep my stuff pretty basic; I'm mostly posting to keep myself accountable, so don't expect to be 'wowed.' Keep in mind as well that I am scrapping for 4 (me, Maddie, Lindsay and Macie) so you might see the same layout 4 times. It counts, right? Wish me luck!
Day # 1

Bows

2008-06-03T13:41:00.000-07:00

So, I kind of forgot about this blog. It didn't send me an email that anyone had left comments, so I didn't realize people had looked at it!
Yes Marie, I did make the bow. I'm going to have some out for the Multi-Family Yard Sale (That you ALL need to participate in) on Saturday if anyone wants to stop by.

Large Korker bows are $4 each.

Smaller korkers are $5 for the pair or $3 each.

These little ones - just over 2 inches each- are $3 for the pair or $2 for just one.

Prices are sometimes different depending on the cost of the ribbon. I use the alligator clips that are easy for little girls' hair. I also seal the ends of the ribbon so they won't fray. If you are interested or have questions, email me at paperkutzz@gmail.com

The things I do...

2008-05-28T22:08:00.000-07:00

I have discovered in the past few years that I love little craft projects. Not so much big ones like scrapbooking, but little ones like cards and bows. I wanted to be able to show ya'll (who care to look) what I've done lately.
These are for the last day of Preschool, I made them for each of the kids in preschool. This is for my nephew who is graduating this week.this is a Birthday card that Maddie and I made for her cousin. Can you tell who it is? Jeramy had no idea. Gotta love the phonetically spelled "birthday" too!
Some of you may have seen my kids -well, mostly me -playing with these at church. These are my paper dolls! I made 6 bodies and oodles of outfits and laminated them all and used velcro to get them to stay on. FYI -Maddie picked out the hair on the top left hand side.

Since I took these, I've added some more costumes. I'll have to post those another night!
