I'm still feeling inspired by CHA! I saw this lovely paper line with a sewing theme by JilliBean Soup, and it reminded me so much of my mom.
She taught me to sew at a very young age. I made my first quilt when I was still in grade school. My Mom is such an artist in everything she does. She made each of my Prom dresses!! I would pick some insanely complicated dress out of a magazine, and she would work her magic. It always turned out even better than the picture. What a talented seamstress!
So, with the sewing theme in mind, I created this Butterfly Bookmark Tag can be used as a bookmark or a gift tag. I love that. I am seriously infatuated with Butterflies at the moment. The Spellbinders Blog features a tutorial for my Butterfly Bookmark Tag.
This Scrapbook page features photographs I altered with a vintage filter so they look like those photo's I have of myself as a child of the 70's. Love that affect! The layout features Mackenzie's 8th Birthday at the Denver Zoo!
I used the spool patterned paper from JilliBean Soup on this layout as well. I also adore My Mind's Eye paper and used it for the foundation of the scrapbook page. There is a tutorial on the Spellbinders Blog showing how to use Edgeabilities(R) die templates to create cut/embossed edges. I used the Classic Scallop edge along the spool paper and for the edges and decorative elements you see on the kraft colored tag.
Edgeabilities(R) were a huge hit at CHA, so you should see them coming into stores within the next month or so!
Another favorite new die template of mine is the Spiral Blossoms Two. They give you a beautiful scalloped edge in a pre-cut flower that is ready to roll up and create those rolled flowers everyone is making right now. Super easy, and oh so beautiful!
