Baby Shower Card - 2S4Y

I spent some time reorganizing my space this last week. I got all my Scrap Room kits put away. I just hope I can start USING all of it now. I also sat down with my sketch book and sketched some of the sketches. LOL! Follow that? My scrap space is small and I just find it easier to have my little 3x8 book on my desk than my laptop. Plus, I tend to get distracted by the computer.

I had to make a card for a baby shower, so I used Kazan's sketch #17 from 2S4Y as my starting point. I used some OLD paper scraps here, but that's another one of my goals. To use up some of those SCRAPS. My goal is for 5 cards total this week - 4 more to go! We'll see if I can accomplish that.

Recent Pursuits of Crafy-ness

I'm trying very hard to be creative. I mean, I have the creative mind and ideas, but the energy itself is severely lacking.

Here are some recent projects I've been working on though.
This is just a little "soft sculpture" for Evan's nursery. Basically, I didn't feel like paying $15 for a stuffed animal. I free handed him on a receiving blanket and then cut him out, sewed him up and stuffed him. Then I added a fun coordinating ear and button eye. It was fun! I haven't done much "fabric" sewing before. I tried once upon a time and SUCKED, but apparently all the time/effort sewing on paper has made me better on my machine in general. :)

More Sewing Projects - a pillow and burp cloths

All kinds of fun patterns here. The pillow was also from a receiving blanket. The animals/colors somewhat matched my bedding set and the flannel is so soft. I figure I'll be spending a lot of nights/time in this chair!

The burp clothes are diapers. Some of the fabric is more receiving blanket material - the green was leftover from the elephant, and there's another that uses the same flannel from the pillow, but others were just fun fabrics I ordered awhile back for this and another project I had in mind for Baby Evan.

Artwork for Evan's Wall

I've had that frame for at LEAST three years. It was almost last year's garage sale fodder, but for some reason I held onto it. We don't really have any dark wood anywhere else in the house which is why it never got used. I'm going for simplicity in Evan's nursery, so the artwork is simple too. I used the Zooballoo cart and my Cricut to cut out the animals. I mounted them onto the cardstock and that was that. Very quick project.

Combo of the moment - blue, green and orange

Here's my tribute to green, blue and orange I guess.

Cards

Just a few more cards I worked on last week. I can't believe I'm over 1/2 way done with Spring Break and haven't created a thing. Well, I made my 5 year old a birthday card, but that's it. Maybe later today.
