MDS - Zachary at the Waterpark

This is my youngest, Zachary.  He was 1.5 years old and LOVED the water!  My older boy wouldn't go in to the waterpark until he was probably 4!  Not Zachary!  He loved it from the first time!  It was so cute to watch!

Another Stationary Box - Delicate Doilies

Ok, so I must admit that I now love making these Stationary Boxes.  Here is another that I made for my daycare provider for her birthday.  She loved it!

Stationary Box - Cottage Wall

I created this Stationary Box for my son's Senior Kindergarten teacher's end of school gift.  I somehow managed to wait last minute to make it - ie the night before!  This was the first (ahem second...) time making one.  The real first time, I messed up because of the scoring and then gave up.  At the time, I didn't have a scoring board like my Score-Pal.  I only had the Friskar's trimmer with the scoring tool.  It was so much easier making this with a scoring board!

Oh my, it's been a long time!!!

I can't believe that I have not posted in a year and a half. That is down right shameful! I am going to try to rectify the situation and start being a better blogger.

So, today I will start being a better blogger by sharing with you this extremely cute Rag Bag that I made with Stampin' Up! fabric that is now available in our 2011-2012 Idea Book. I am so happy that SU has added fabric to the product line! I actually had a dream years ago where I was walking into a room somewhere and there was reams of fabric from Stampin' Up! I was thinking when I woke up, what a strange dream. Why on earth would SU have fabric! Well, I guess that dream was a premonition!

 

This bag was created using the Big Shot.  I cut out 88 Scallop Squares of the Flirtatious SU fabric which contains 3 patterns.   The colours in the fabric are Mambo Melon, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, and Wisteria Wonder which is a new 2011-2013 In-Colour.  You can find the instructions on Julie Edmond's website.  I changed the dimensions a bit because I used the smaller scallop square die.
