Purple cards from Purple Prom Scraps


I promised a while back to post some of the cards I made from the Sr prom book scraps. Here you go....first a look at some of the prom pages in her album. Remember the blog entry here?
http://myall2.blogspot.com/2007/05/pretty-in-purple.html

Well here are the same pics in her album. There aer about 36 pages in this dance album so only a small amount are represented here. I thought sharing every page would be overkill. :) The 'Silly Us' pages are side by side in the album but I didn't resize them like that here.





And here are the resulting assorted greeting cards in lavendars and purples from the mishmash of scraps and accents I had left over. I made 26 cards in about 2 hours all for 'free' from my leftovers. I then put them in packs of 4 cards and tied purple fibers around them for little sets or gifts. I kind of turned the bows to the side so you could see the cards better here. I just didn't want to take them all apart and put them back together again. :)
Enjoy!

Rock, I know that you practice what you preach about using your stash. I recognized some purple paper that I have and actually used up for one of my layouts. Thanks for sharing these layouts and cards, you're always reminding us of what we can accomplish.

A Spiral Christmas Tree Skirt

Image
Here you see a  gift I just finished this morning for my daughter. It is a spiral bargello style quilted tree skirt. I sewed on it all Saturday and Sunday this weekend and just had the ties to sew on this morning. It's an early Christmas gift kind of like the one I made for my son and his wife a few weeks ago .  T his spiral design my daughter chose also uses a 10 degree wedge ruler but is about 1/3 more time consuming than the randomly placed 5 inch charm square wedge style because you have to spend more time getting the strip formation right.  There was a SULKY brand online tut o rial and pattern for a single color repeat but I liked the slower color change better seen in the t wo photos below . I think the spiral design is enhanced by the more gradual color change. I saw these two spirals below on Google Images but they only led me to p icture link s and not a tutorial. I ha d to devise my own from looking at that pictures.   http://www.backyar...

Paper Stash Storage Solutions: 1- 12 inches of paper

Image
Your paper storage units should suit YOUR needs and YOUR paper storage style. Imagine this: Two people who sit down side by side at a crop party. Soon they will start talking about tool and paper storage. Pretty soon, one will want what the other one has. It all sounds so good --and it is working for her companion. But when she goes out to buy it, and she takes it home, it might be all wrong. Why?? Because those two people will NOT need exactly the same storage solutions! So how do you know what to invest in? And yes, paper storage is an investment. You don’t want to waste money or TIME. Spend your time and money on solutions that are great for YOU! How much paper do you have? Are you happy with your storage units? How do you plan on going about using it? Can you find a specific paper you need in less than 5 minutes? Choose containers and units that appeal to your sense of décor style AND your real storage needs. Don’t be fooled by cute shapes or new prints. No matter how cute, an acco...
