Love bug pin cushion

A little handmade pin cushion made by running fabric through the Big Shot along with Spellbinders scallop square metal die.

The pin cushion is stuffed with polyester batting right underneath the button. After sewing around the edges of the fabric I made a small scissor snip on the top fabric piece and stuffed the cushion using a tooth pick. Then added a few buttons to cover the opening.

Super easy and fast to make....

Made for Simon Says have a heart challenge!

Also been sorting through photos from 2012 and came across this ATC made last year. Don't think I ever posted it? Made with Prisma Color pencils!

Christmas Angel ATC Ornament

I made this ATC Christmas ornament for my swap partner in Australia. The background text is from a Christmas carol sheet combined with Hero Arts CG222 Music Background stamp. I tried to keep the colours on the cool side by using some silver Stickles and Iced spruce distress ink.

I have entered this in the Simon Says "gift-spiration" Challenge http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/2012/12/challenge-gift-spiration.html

Thanks for looking and take care if you are effected by the snow storm traveling through the US and Canada. Looks like it will be a White Christmas for some, here in Toronto we always seem to miss having snow for the holidays (I will still be dreaming of a White Christmas :)

Merry Christmas.

Shadow box ATC - Silent Night

Hope you are doing well. Just a super quick post before bed tonight! I made these little ATC shadow boxes for our monthly ATC exchange at my LSS.

There is a little copic airbrushing on the snow and background along with a few yummy Hero Arts stamps. Added to the background is "all is calm" and "All is bright", its a bit hard to see but her little song book has Silent Night on the outside.

Have a great week! Thank you for peaking in :)

Hope you are doing well. I was able to squeeze in one more Halloween project this year. There was an ATC swap at our LSS. These ladies are super creative, its a pleasure to play along with them!
I used the Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers and airbrushed with Copic markers.

Wanted to add the name of a clothing company to the ATC which got me thinking ... Where do Witches shop for their clothes? I poled my Husband and he just gave me a weird look so I also asked the girls at work. They came up with a few fun names like Witches and Broomsticks and ended up deciding on Black Cat Couture Company :)
