Scrabble Tiles & Idea Words

It seems that Scrabble tiles are all the rage these days.  I heart them too!  I picked up this “Queen Bee” Scrabble tile holder at the {ROUND TOP ANTIQUES FAIR} this last spring- super fabulous place! If you live in Texas, you should make the trip this Fall.  The tiles are actually glued onto the Scrabble holder tray.  I have this sitting on my desk at work and there isn’t a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t get a comment on it.  This is such a great gift idea.  Cheap too! 

Below the picture is a list of words that can fit onto the Scrabble tile tray.  I didn’t copy this list.  I actually thought of it on my own.  LOL  I have to much time on my hands! 

Mini Fall Burlap Banner

I am so really for fall! I love the cooler weather, Fightin’ Texas Aggie football and the holidays that are coming up.  I was whipping up a custom burlap banner just like my {SWEETS BANNER} and for some reason, burlap makes me think of fall.  Since my creative juices where flowing, I decided to whip up a mini fall banner.  I’m not to sure where I am going to hang it but I’m sure I can find a place … Possibly on my living room armoire.

Who Needs A Cupcake?

Who needs a cupcake?

Homemade cupcakes. Cupcake toppers were made with my Cricut and circle punch. Purchased the cupcake wrappers at Micheal's and then glued on the flower.

E-Reader Case

I am pretty sure an e-reader is the best thing since sliced bread.  Last year for Christmas I received one from my boss and I FINALLY downloaded a book on it.  I do not like clutter or having a million romance paperbacks cluttering my house, so this is the perfect item for me.

When I was working on the {BEDDING SET} I had a little bit of scrap fabric left over, so I decided to whip up an e-reader case.  This is one of my favorite fabrics from HL.  Click {HERE} for a tutorial from {ONE PEARL BUTTON}.

Sinners and Saints Welcome

Not only is my boss, a loan officer, he is also an ordained pastor and runs his youth program at his church … due to his status everyone feels the need to come to him for a confessional and advice.  He never passes judgment on anyone, so  when I came across the verbiage “SINNERS & SAINTS WELCOME” I knew I had to use it.  Once again, I used {COMPUTER GRAFIX} blank transparencies that you can print on.

I placed the adhesive transparency onto one of those

cheap plastic frames and then inserted a piece of cardstock.

Birthday Party Banners & Cupcake Toppers

I love making banners! A customer ordered birthday banners & cupcake toppers for her son and niece who are having a joint birthday party.  She sent me invitations for each child and asked me to mix the boy and girl colors with out it looking too girly for the boy but yet, still girly enough for the girl.  I decided to go with the orange as the “common” color to tie it all together.

Did you know you can run crepe paper through your ruffler foot on your sewing machine! Yep! That is what I did.  Once the crepe paper was ruffled, I then glued it to the back of the circles.

I used my Cricut to make the cupcake toppers and then used my circle punch to cut out the words that I printed from my computer.

Zebra Aprons

We all know how much I love making aprons and I was super anxious to get started an order for Mom and Daughter zebra aprons.  Zebra is one of my favorite prints of all time.  Aprons make great gifts for all occasions.  Check out {THIS LINK} for 40+ free apron patterns and tutorials.
