Simplest... But the Cutest!

A Wine Bottle Bag...
you thought it was going to be some extravagant creation.
Nope this is my absolute favorite and the quickest to make.
What better than to take your extra scallop squares (always have them) and
make a bunch for the
"quick I need a Gift to give now" moments.

Why not some wine in a pretty package.
I have come up with some solutions for the cold bottles.
Instead of a back fabric, use Laminated cotton, this is used for raincoats and place mats, and since our Big Shot Bigz dies cut through almost anything they cut through this also.
Add the batting in the middle and you have an insulated fabric.
*EDIT I used a white dollar store shower curtain & thicker batting for my first ones.
Also it is cheaper than Laminated Cotton :)
Just a tip for the sweating of a cold bottle.

Have a Great Weekend
and a Bottle of Wine!

Huuum...you think Sam likes Coffee!& Face Book Friends

This one is quite large...it fits my big shot, if that helps with a visual.
I did 6 side panels and 8 bottom panel, 2 SU raw chipboard sheet stabilize the bottom.
This is my signature bag for workshops and such.
I made a smaller version 4 panel front and back just for my swaps.
To make the smaller version stand up better I cut acetate sheets and add with the batting much more sturdier.

Fridays Bag is so cool I made this for a long lost best friend.
Can't wait to give it to her.
We reconnected on Face Book

Addicting!

Yep it is....
I have made quite a few and finally one for me, that's Wednesdays post, plus I'm working on another for me and Lilli.
These are so easy and easy enough to make any size you want.

I agree with Angie, it's much easier with 3 fabrics.
You'll see why I say this on Wed
This is just 2 patterns of fabric with one solid color on the inside, this one is washed. But for some reason it did not do what I quite expected.
That's OK it still cute.
And in the store soon!
Happy Monday!

Two!

Two more occasions mini cards...
The first is a card of another stampers (cannot remember if you know please, tell me and I will correct) that I fell in love with, she used another company's stamps of which I love, But I applied SU instead. Hey I'm a Demo for them after all.
*edit- I feel stupid the other stamper is Nichole Heady and it's her stamps she is using DUH!
You can view her card here
I did this card in Dec that was so long ago....BM (Before Medicine)HEHE
I gave some swaps of this to a friend to give at Leadership, I could not go :(
It uses Solid Stripes, of which you will see a lot of from me.
Super easy to do.
The next uses some awesome paper from the Mini called Sending Love Specialty, Most of the pages have glitter, Love it!
The stamp set is With all my Heart.

Welcome to Sam's Stampin Room

Finally made my own frame...
Have made what feels like 100's of these for friends and family.
That I have never made one for me.
As I finish and tweak my room/office.
This was a must have.

My dry erase board came without the stripes, they had one but it was more money.
Why not customize the cheaper one.
I used car pinstripe's that my husband had from his car painting days.
But a sharpie or thin tape will work just as well.
Happy Monday
& Martin L. King Day!

Done... Before & After!

Now it's not as bad as it looks,
or it didn't before I brought all my craft stuff up from the garage.
I had 5 big bins of the the stuff and could not fit them in my room until my sons stuff was moved out.
So I went through and trashed so much, then labeled everything.
So I know what I have and do not go out and buy something that is already there.
The best thing I received for X-mas a label er.

Notice the empty closet...

And No floor!!!!

Every space is taken!

Here it is straighten, moved, and organized...
Oh my Gosh there was a desk under there!

My new TV, can't wait for my new computer to hook it up to and finally play and teach MDS.
With a great big view for everyone to see.

Also the shelves I bought a while ago, so I could see my stamps sets.
Plan on getting more.

The closet FULL!
And my Curious George of a cat, Annabelle. I think she snuck into several of my pics.

I'm still here!!!! Happy New Year! & My yearly deals.

Yep can't get rid of me that easy!
Just taking a little longer I suppose, Alex is on his 2Nd deployment and since he plans on buying/renting when he gets back I am packing him up to the garage, no I am not being a mean mom, he will have a place to stay always and forever, just not in his old room.
So All the free space has allowed me to bring all my craft stuff up and out of the garage, so more organizing.
Here's some new stuff I promised from the Occasions Mini.
Since I really do not care for all the Mumbo Jumbo of the business aspect that you see on other blogs and like to show how each item can be used instead, here's the first of many cards I'm going to show.
But if you like the Mumbo Jumbo stuff click on the catties to the right for all the details.
