That is a huge sigh of relief that the holidays are over. I apologize for being a grinch but I don't love this time of year.  I wake up every morning with a thousand things on my to do list. There is just too much too.  Too much running around, too much stress, too much commercialism, too much shopping (did I mention I hate shopping).   Now I can get back to waking up with only ahttp://paperrocksscissors.blogspot.com/2012/01/flower-4-u-oh-yeah-and-happy-new-year.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kim)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600594362441861790.post-1134918970257870033Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:13:00 +00002011-12-31T09:12:08.262-05:00Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! My daughter and I were in Joann's (a minor miracle for her) a while ago.  She couldn't find a homecoming dress she liked and we were looking for a pattern.  We didn't find what she wanted but she did find a pattern for pillow letters and asked me to make her some for her dorm room for next year.  I loved how they turned out and how easy they were to makehttp://paperrocksscissors.blogspot.com/2011/12/letter-pillows.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kim)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600594362441861790.post-3164314695384505842Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:08:00 +00002011-12-31T09:12:20.899-05:00I had pretty much given up on thinking that the crafting gene which was passed on from my talented mom and dad to me, had made it through to my daughter. She has never really shown any interest in any of it. I bought her a sewing machine when she was about 12 and she has never even tried using it. How surprised was I last night when I got a text saying she needed to buy craft supplies (can I http://paperrocksscissors.blogspot.com/2011/12/shes-got-it-too.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kim)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600594362441861790.post-717069119103144128Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:10:00 +00002011-12-19T21:08:12.521-05:00Ok I know I have gone crazy with the felt projects but it is so much fun creating them. I have two more today and then one more thing tomorrow and I swear I am done for this holiday season. The only household decorations I got up this season were candles in our windows (and a tree of course) and I thought they needed a little someting extra. Soooo I made them their own little tree skirts http://paperrocksscissors.blogspot.com/2011/12/tiny-tree-skirt-and-snow-lady.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kim)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600594362441861790.post-1787437884106375522Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:09:00 +00002011-12-19T21:08:28.587-05:00I bought some linen before Thanksgiving in order to make some of THESE pumpkins but I never got around to doing it (story of my life) so I decided to put it to another use.  I made a couple of advent stockings for my kids. It was pretty easy to print on the linen provided it was taped securely around the edges of a piece of card stock.

I was determined to use the stocking punch I got from Stampin Up and the snowy Bo Bunny paper and this is the result. I needed to keep it simple so that I could make a bunch.

The letters were made by increasing a font to about 2.5 inches high, cut out of paper and used as a template to cut the felt.

I made some ornamants that double as money/gift card holders for this Christmas. I first tried some recycled, synthetic, felt that I purchased at Joanns or Mikes and it didn't work at all.

I am keeping these though because I really like how they turned out. I hadn't intended to make them but Kellie Mize from THE DIGI CHICK had some new Vintage Winter Charms digis and I thought they would be perfect paired up with some Spellbinder dies I have.

Hope you are all doing well. I had a great crafting weekend and have some things to show you all coming up. I finished some victorian style ornaments and have a tutorial on how they were made at THE HYBRID CHICK. They were really easy to make (if you use a glue gun) and the base can be decorated in a lot of different styles if you don't particularly like the vintage theme. http://paperrocksscissors.blogspot.com/2011/12/victorian-ornaments.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kim)7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600594362441861790.post-1312615187227772902Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:06:00 +00002011-11-22T05:24:46.711-05:00To those of you who let me know you received this THANKS!
