Kinusaiga

 This is my second Kinusaiga that I have done. I am thinking the more you do the better you get at it. I still have to frame this one but I like the way it came out. I might add "Merry Christmas" to the lower right corner but I am still thinking on that. If you want to try it just go to youtube and there are plenty of tutorials there to show you how to do it. It is also called Fabric Art. 

I made this advent calendar last year and it will be at our craft fair in November. It hangs on the wall and it is made with fence pickets and I painted the pickets with a hint of green.  I then added clothes pins to hang the little stockings for the gift/candy. I thought it came out pretty cool. 

Christmas Gifts

This is the first of 3 wooden letters that I have made this month for a Christmas gift. C is for Chloe, she is a granddaughter of a very good friend. She also wanted me to do one for her other granddaughter, Emily.

These were so much fun to make! My friend is going to give them to Chloe and Emily to give to their father for his apartment to put in their rooms. I think that was a great idea! Lastly, I made one for another friend's granddaughter, Mia!

These were so much fun to make for my friends! The embellishments were fun to do too! I just love pictures and all of these girls were so "stinkin cute"! I just love, love, love making them! The pictures say it all! Merry Christmas little ones!!!

Birthday for Hairdresser

My hairdresser, who I miss immensely, had his 65th birthday last week and I had this all ready to give to him but because of the coronavirus has had to close his salon.  I will give it to him when they open back up but I had to show this to everyone.  It is an explosion box and at the top of it is a shaker star with 65 on it.  I used Graphic 45 paper collection called World's Fair. 

Look at the cute charms!

Waiting area

 The chair that I have in front of the sink was actually a Christmas ornament that my husband received from a teacher with a book and apple on the arm of it. I just cut it off and used it for the chair where Shawn cuts hair.  In the waiting room, I  made the couch and table out of paper.  It is orgami folding.  The charms I found on Amazon and worked out great for his sink area.   This is a perfect birthday card/box for him since his salon just moved into a new place.  The salon had only been open in the new location when they had to close because of Covid 19.  Below are some more pictures of the outside of the box.  I am happy the way this came out and hope he likes it too.
Happy 65th Birthday Shawn!

Oscar in the window!

Can you see a doggie in the window?

Sentiment for Sabrina!

My daughter and I just got back from San Francisco, where my son and his girlfriend live, to help my son with his injury that he had in July.  He is doing well but the injury, Achille's tear, is hard when you get do what you want to do.  We had a good time taking care of Oscar each day!  My son's girlfriend, Sabrina, has a birthday coming up so we had to make a card showing Oscar in the window when Eric and Sabrina come home.  Hope she gets a kick out of it!  Happy, happy birthday Sabrina!

Front of card

Inside of card

I made this card for a bridal shower that I went to last weekend. Jennifer is bride-to-be and her groom is the son of a very good friend of mine. I have been making lanterns for their wedding which is October 4th. My sisters and my sister in law helped make them along with Jen and her maid of honor.  This card I have seen on Pinterest but I did a smaller version of it.  I was surprised to get to the shower and the colors that I used for the card were the same colors that her bridesmaids  used to decorate for the shower.  It is a rose colored shimmer cardstock from Stampin up as well as the dies that I used.

Lights off!

Lights on!

We made 24 of them for the tables at the reception. We loved how they came out! It is an evening wedding so these will be perfect!  The die we used is from Spellbinders and boy, did those dies get a workout!  Hoping that Jennifer and David have a wonderful wedding!!

Emma's Favors

Stampin up's Curvy Keepsake die is so great for favors for any kind of party.  My niece, Emma, is graduating from Kennebunk High School in June and my sisters and Emma got together last weekend and made these cute favors for her party.  KHS on the front and on the back is "Congrats Graduate". Kennebunk's school colors are royal blue and white. The paper is Brillant Blue from Stampin up. The tassels are from Amazon.  The tag says "Emma 2016"!  Love how they came out!.  We made a total of 25 favors.  It is always fun to get together with Sisters and do a fun project!
