Bat Mitzvah Gift - Sneak Peak

I have been hard at work on some custom scrapbooks as gifts for twin girls who are about to celebrate their Bat Mitzvah.  I finally have all of the pages laid out, and thought I would give you a sneak peak before I started assembling.  The party theme is "Please Don't Stop the Music" and the colors are midnight blue and purple.  These pages in particular are for family pics, and don't incorporate the music theme.  You'll see how I worked that in on the other pages when I post the final project.  Fun fun!!

I was able to work in some tulle onto these pages, which ended up being my favorite part.  One thing I love about scrapbooking is that you can never make a mistake.  When I was punching the holes to stick the brads through the flowers, I noticed that my punch made little divots in the edges of the cream paper.  So, I just went with it and distressed the edges of the paper - mistake hidden AND I think it actually added a little something that was missing.

Till tomorrow!  I am praying that I can show you the final product - hope they are done by then!  I have to take Addie to kindergarten registration tomorrow, so my post may be later in the day than usual.

I Love You Tutu Much - Day 27

Including today, there are only 4 days to go in my Craft Challenge so today I wanted to accomplish two things:
1. Make Addison a fun little Valentine's Gift to give her when she comes home from school
2.  Try something new that I have been wanting to make for a long time

And....that leads me to this adorable little Tutu that I made this morning!

Addie loves pink - SERIOUSLY loves pink, so I paired a pale pink shimmery tulle with some white - alternating around the waist band.  When I was done, it still needed something - more pink and more sparkle.  So I looked through my fabric, found this pink satin and made a posey, sewed a crystal bead to the center and attached some pink and white polka dot grosgrain ribbon.  I was nervous to make these for some reason - but it was totally easy!

I have been wanting to make these for some of the craft shows I have coming up, and for my Etsy Shop.  I think I may become a tutu making fool!!  These are fun!

Till tomorrow!  Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

Order Up!

Just finished and shipped my first boutique order - how exciting!!  The headbands came out so nice, and I am really proud of them.  Now, to move on and start generating some more orders.  I have some ideas for future merchandise, so I need to get moving on the samples.  Is there anything in particular you would like to see?  Would love your comments and suggestions.  


These are some of the items that were included in the Boutique order - color variations of my original post from Facebook.  Isn't my little Addie becoming quite the model?  She makes weird faces when she knows a picture is coming - very unnatural fake smiles - it's kind of funny, so I have to snap her when she isn't ready.  


Justin took a picture of me working last night - you can see what the craft desk looks like now that I have projects underway.  Not so neat right now...
