PCMB Challenge

Some ladies on the paper crafts message board posted a card a day challenge... This is my first contribution. I really like the brown and green. WOW... do I ever love the marvy flower punches. I have three punches now and use them all the time.

Sorry about the blurry pics.... I am still getting a hang of it.

Purse - Amy Butler Fabric

I thought I would share a couple of purses.... The rectangle multi fabric purse is my old one I had been carrying around for awhile. I decided to change it out for the spring floral pattern purse. I originally made it for my daughter but she said it was to small. I love how I can just pitch everything in it. The best thing is it washes well in the machine.

Patterns:

The spring floral is an Amy Butler pattern. The multi fabric purse is my own pattern. It is a perfect size and now that I have made enough of them it is quick and easy.

Baylee's Book

I made this 6x6 book for my BFF daughter, Baylee. She is an amazing writer. I love the pink and black pirates. You may not see the sentiment is attached with pink rhinestones. Super Cute...

OOOOOOOPPS! Sorry not sure how to flip the picture. I am still new to most of this.

Cards

I found 2 sets of off-white cards... this is what I did with them. Now I have 16 generic cards to use. These were quick and easy. I love the flowers. TFL - Traci

Cards

With my new organized space I am going to try to use up current supplies on projects. Here are a couple of cards I had left from the misc pile of pattern paper. TFL - Traci

March Madness.... Basketball

Wow... I love March Madness. Tomorrow is going to be the best. I plan on sitting in my craft room watching basketball all day...... Well at least until 5:00. Then I have to go to a wedding. Enjoy your weekend.

Journal Stamp Card

My BFF, Tracy gave me the journal stamp. I used it with several other stamps. I love how the card turned out. No patterned paper just stamps. The flower was punched with red scraps.

This card was inspired by a card I saw in January 2008 (Volumne 3 Issue 1) of Cards magazine... page 143. The original designer is Diane DiTullio.

My Craft Room

It is official.... I have a craft space. The concrete floor is perfect.... messes sweep up and my dogs can craft with me.
I don't have the curtains done yet. The fabric is in the wash. I spent most my budget... so I plan on using fabric I purchased previously for something. Who knows what...
DH made the counter top space with the sewing machine, the cabinet, and the awesome workstation. The table the computer sits on is a table we had and I swiped.
Because of a tight budget the construction is mostly plywood and 2x4s. It works well for me because then I won't be afraid to mess it up.
The workstation is perfect for cutting fabric. I have a bar stool I sit on while using it. It is on casters so I can pull it out to get to all sides.
I'll try to post once I get the curtains finished. Hopefully, this afternoon.

Here is my cabinet full of goodies.

My cabinet

DH built me this cabinet. I can't wait to put my stuff in it. The side racks are for my loose stamps. There are also three paper holders. The bottom shelve is big enough to hold a big tube or 12x12 plastic drawers.

I am soooooooo happy with it. He did an amazing job.

Tractor Diaper Bag

The basement is still somewhat a mess but I had to finish this diaper bag for a co-worker. She had the baby early. Baby and Mommy are doing fine.

I think the bag turned out sooooo cute. A local embroidery shop did the name on some fabric and I stitched it into the bag.

I hope she likes it.
