Knit Beanie

Here is a picture of my very first knit beanie hat. My son wanted me to make one for him and I think it turned out really nice. He liked it and wore it back to college. I'm now in the process of knitting one for my oldest son.

pocket b-day card

My teenage Niece celebrated her b-day this week and this is the card that I made for her. Like most teens, she prefers MONEY so she can buy clothes so I wanted a card that would hold the money in a fun way.

I decided to use my sizzix pocket die. Then to make it look like it's the pocket on a pair of jeans, I thought a tag on the pocket would help. On the tag I printed her name. I couldn't find the right shade of blue cs so I took a light blue cs and streaked white chalk in onto it...I like how it turned out - kind of like the worn jeans look that's so popular right now. Added 2 brads to the pocket and it's done. Oh, the patterned paper also has glitter on it which looks pretty cool!

domino necklace

I made a bunch of domino necklaces a few years ago and was asked to show an example of them. This is the only one that I still have. Sorry the one picture is side-ways! Shellie
