I have been putting off getting out my Summertime Mantel decor for much too long now. Not because I don't enjoy it, but because I didn't LOVE what I had last year - so what to do.... Make something new! of. course. I am love, love, loving chevron patterns right now - and the yellow/gray color combo. So I just happened to receive some cool stuff in my monthly <a href="http://www.scrap-room.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Scraproom</span></a> kit this month (well, okay I receive really cool stuff EVERY month - but this was what I needed for my mantel!!!). Hi-ho, hi-ho its off to work I go!<br />
<br />
Here is what I created!!!<br />

Oh, this bottle happens to be a really EASY project! I had an empty wine bottle that was yellow AND I found this grey chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby (which was a total buy on the whim, daughter sayin' "WHY do you need to buy that?" me responding - "cuz I like it" kind of find!). Happy dance! I just wrapped a piece around it, tied some twine and made a sunburst flower out of paper. Cute, no?<br />
<br />
Oh, and after looking at the mantel for a few days, I decided to add something else - but I don't have a photo of it yet. I'll be back to share that later, m'kay?!<br />

Goodness me, I have not been on here in quite some time. Unfortunately I have not had the mojo flowing to do much of anything crafty, but I'm slowly getting it back. End of the school year is just a week away, and we've been crazy busy with all kinds of stuff!<br />
<br />
Here's a quick card I made using the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"><a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/05/make-it-monday-67-step-it-up-mixing-patterned-papers.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Make It Monday video</span></a> </span>series from Papertrey Ink. Sometimes when I'm in a rut, I know I can go there and get some inspiration! This week was a great way to use some scraps that I've been collecting.<br />

For the first time in awhile, I did not "title" the card since I wanted to be able to use it for whatever I needed to. Turns out, I need a birthday card! But wouldn't this be great for a "Thank You" or a "Just Because" type card?</div>

Its gorgeous here today and luckily I will get to spend time outside watching my son play rugby today. Wanted to share 2 things with you today - so I'll try to make it short and sweet :)<br />
<br />
First up - Fab Friend cards! <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/04/make-it-monday-62.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">PTI's Make It Monday Challenge</span></a> this week is about Layering. I first made a basic one layer card, then I stepped it up and made a multi-layer card using the same basic layout. Very cute idea - it was fun to take it to the next level.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Next up - "Fab"ric Shoes! I'm super excited about these - I've recently seen on Pinterest using fabric to update your shoes. I've had these shoes for about 2 years and they've been in my to donate pile for about 6 months. Just didn't love them anymore - that is until I learned you could Mod Podge fabric on them and give them a new life!!!!! As you can see, I've only done one shoe so I could show you the before and after. Its super quick and didn't cost me a dime since I had the fabric, shoes, and Mod Podge already - SCORE! I'm also planning on making some cute shoe clip flowers to go with them - making several colors to go with whatever outfit I'm wearing that day! Check these babies out:<br />

Its been awhile since I've done anything in my studio - and shared anything. I've been busy doing stuff - just haven't made the time to get it up here! So - Papertrey Ink's <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/04/make-it-monday-61.html"><span style="color: red;">Make It Monday challenge</span></a> this week is to use leaf die cuts to make a flower. I pondered this one a bit since I don't have many dies - much less leaf ones. Funny enough, when I perused the dies, I came across the Delighful Dahlias dies! Lo and behold, it had leaf dies! 2 sizes! So I cut them out in 2 sizes and 2 colors then got busy creating a flower. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I don't really know how to use them very well yet, but I'm intrigued when I see someone who has used them to beautifully color images. I want to do that too!<br />

When I come across a tutorial using Copics, I jump on board to learn. This week, PTI happens to have a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/03/make-it-monday-58-graduated-backgrounds.html">Make It Monday</a></span> challenge that incorporates Copics - Graduated Backgrounds!

<br />
Howdy friends! Just popping in for a minute to share a fabulous Strawberry Bread recipe that I made this morning. It is super easy and quick - oh, and most importantly - TASTY! I was looking through my refridgerator this morning and noticed my strawberries were looking a bit sad. Now, they were not gross by any means, but I knew within a couple of days they were going to be bad. So, I remembered a yummy recipe I made before and dug it up.<br />
<br />
This recipe is from a book I purchased many years ago at a Moms Club event. It is titled <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Good-Friends-Great-Tastes-Celebrations/dp/0967626900"><u>Great Friends Great Tastes: A Celebration of Life, Food, and Friendship</u> by Debbie Meyer</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd90_3FdT9vDnVGAR-r0tZHZgR3PHfIGkENbLhm3eydQSZHxS2zR9JLFzZcoylNA2mn2zgU-iIpsFmSCryj2nQLqLoJOhW5Qy9TJPsOrX3WSxN7_2FfHV7iaWw-8b1aQjVHfruaJGTYa9L/s1600/DSCF7297.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd90_3FdT9vDnVGAR-r0tZHZgR3PHfIGkENbLhm3eydQSZHxS2zR9JLFzZcoylNA2mn2zgU-iIpsFmSCryj2nQLqLoJOhW5Qy9TJPsOrX3WSxN7_2FfHV7iaWw-8b1aQjVHfruaJGTYa9L/s320/DSCF7297.jpg" width="260" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I adapted the recipe to make it a 'bit' healthier, and it turned out great! Here is what I did and I'll note where I made the adaptions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Fresh Strawberry Bread</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2 cups washed and hulled whole strawberries</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 1/2 cups sugar, plus extra to sprinkle on strawberries<em> (Recipe calls for 2 cups, but I didn't want to put that much in! I used Splenda on my strawberries and would have used it in the recipe too, but didn't feel like opening all those little packets!)</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 tablespoon ground cinnamon</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 teaspoon salt</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 teaspoon baking soda</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 1/4 cups of unsweetened applesause <em>(Recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of vegetable oil)</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4 eggs, beaten</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><em>(Recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans, but I omitted them)</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice strawberries, place in bowl and sprinkle sugar - set aside. Grease loaf pans (I used 4 small loaf pans). Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in large bowl. Mix well. Blend oil and eggs into strawberries, add to flour mixture. Add the pecans if using them. Stir until ingredients are moistened. Bake 40 minutes for small loaf, 50 minutes for larger loaf. Cool 10 minutes before turning loaves out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Enjoy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXDVLZWEJm1wAOQ0t1sTex9byVu7BG4Xb-LlQFUeJujygBA3CyyhSKYz-BsDACcBNWteAxJ6QLdVNspFdhMOjtSMjLKyZwA-k0mVKYLJEYaY8RJEqT0tm2TWKaQfKhRF9aJ-6sXGvZth3t/s1600/strawberrybread2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXDVLZWEJm1wAOQ0t1sTex9byVu7BG4Xb-LlQFUeJujygBA3CyyhSKYz-BsDACcBNWteAxJ6QLdVNspFdhMOjtSMjLKyZwA-k0mVKYLJEYaY8RJEqT0tm2TWKaQfKhRF9aJ-6sXGvZth3t/s320/strawberrybread2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, I also mention that I've made it just like the original recipe (minus pecans) and it is super delicious! It is a tad oily with the original, but I guess you could cut back on the oil a bit. I absolutely loved this bread the first time around, but with my substitutions, I feel a bit less guilty eating it!! Mmmm - my family is going to be so happy to see this when they get home today! Oh, lets keep the secret of the substitutions between us, m'kay!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

WOW! It is a beautiful day outside today! I took a basic photography class this past Friday and have been practicing with my camera ON MANUAL MODE! Yikes! I was so excited to get to practice on my front door wreath that I finished a few days ago. <br />
<br />

I used various scraps of fabric in Spring colors that I had in my scrap pile to make ruffled flowers. To make ruffled flowers, cut strips of fabric in whatever width and length you choose - I chose 2" wide by 24" long. Then sew right up the middle of the strip, not backstitching, and pull the string to ruffle the fabric. Finally, start rolling it into a flower, using tacky glue every so often to tack it down. <br />
<br />
To make it a St. Patrick's Day wreath, I made a quick banner by cutting triangles, then embossed and added alphabet stickers. I punched holes in the corners and added twine to hang onto the wreath. Next time it will be ready for a quick update for Easter!<br />
<br />
The best thing about this wreath is it was FREE! Not one additional penny was spent on it - using what I have is how I roll (or at least trying to!!).<br />

Earlier this week I made a Thank You card for a friend of mine and I happened to come across <a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/02/cure-for-winter-blues-challenge.html">this post</a> from Moxie Fab World. <strong><span style="color: #073763;"><a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/02/cure-for-winter-blues-challenge.html">The Cure For The Winter Blues Challenge</a></span></strong>!!!

Happy Friday to you!<br />
<br />
I've had a project in mind on the backburner for quite sometime and finally took the plunge! First let me say that I am addicted to a few things - 1) PINTEREST 2) Fabric pieces from the clearance section 3)Burlap and Canvas specifically - see #2. More on this in a moment.<br />
<br />
I found a brand new lampshade (still in the package) that originally came from World Market, but found at GoodWill for $3.00! I was so super lucky that there were 2 of them, so I snatched them up knowing what I wanted to do. Sometime in the past year I've collected several bundles of burlap for cheap - like a yard or more for around $2.00 each. So, I can now say that I've made a custom, designer inspired lampshade for CHEAP! Another addiction of mine...<br />
<br />
Okie dokie - back to my number 1 addiction - Pinterest. Oh.My.Goodness! I found several pictures of burlap lampshades and knew I could do it too! Here are a couple of examples:<br />

LOVE!!! Burlap, scissors, and hot glue - THAT.IS.ALL! Two things I learned - 1) I would have made longer strips to give more bulk 2) I would have put them closer together! Oh well, still love how it turned out!<br />

I have to say that I learned something I never thought of before - SPRAY adhesive to adhere glitter to buttons! Really? Its that easy? You mean, no more gloopy, gloppy, gluey mess? That's right friends! It really is that easy!<br />

I thought how cute the middle part of flowers would look with glitter buttons - so that's what I did! Isn't it bright and cheery?! I cannot wait to send it to a friend to make her smile!<br />

I have a few projects in my file that I need to share with you - so today, I'm showing you how to make a large felt flower to pin on a pillow for your home decor. I bought a pillow form from Joann's and made a simple pillow cover from canvas. I put in a zipper so that I could clean it if needed. My first flower looked like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXCnRtSASTti0kK5Udzo8aiqKhnt6vR3zr-dQ2PGoJLF5GwZ4JOZQPHLd6s6OxbeoKzjOqp0OF2pVwpmnXLHCW-9UscJ9KYyefkQSYz0h9TNYyUFFrYIThoGChIjsG0F_e5fmQfcSs4LfR/s1600/P1040085.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXCnRtSASTti0kK5Udzo8aiqKhnt6vR3zr-dQ2PGoJLF5GwZ4JOZQPHLd6s6OxbeoKzjOqp0OF2pVwpmnXLHCW-9UscJ9KYyefkQSYz0h9TNYyUFFrYIThoGChIjsG0F_e5fmQfcSs4LfR/s320/P1040085.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I cannot remember where I first saw how to make this, so I apologize for not giving credit where credit is due. I used this flower in the Fall right after I got these 2 zebra chairs for my anniversary (thanks honey!!). Now that it is Winter, I wanted to change the color scheme a bit. With the beauty of a safety pin, I can change out the pillow decor very quickly! Here are some pictures showing how I created my grey flower.<br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
Scrap of heavy weight fabric - I used canvas I found in the clearance bin at Hobby Lobby.<br />
Plate - I used a salad plate<br />
Pencil<br />
Scissors<br />
Felt in color of your choosing<br />
Low temp hot glue - I promise, you WANT low-temp glue!!!! Don't ask.<br />
Safety Pin<br />
Embellishment if wanted<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Layer half-circles, continue layering and off-setting circles as you approach the inside of the circle.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn24yOtjiQOTHJj8Z7VbZKQ7Z8m0o5UpV88hRMboitl5Kcf_EiT-msqjkDrd8FBhOIsautyzFO8-DvL3JOAbLSVowojbOFFvEk9YAu9pDtwhx4hZuWRK2j-crQWRZ8m2raEydbgr8bbZrB/s1600/P1040093.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn24yOtjiQOTHJj8Z7VbZKQ7Z8m0o5UpV88hRMboitl5Kcf_EiT-msqjkDrd8FBhOIsautyzFO8-DvL3JOAbLSVowojbOFFvEk9YAu9pDtwhx4hZuWRK2j-crQWRZ8m2raEydbgr8bbZrB/s320/P1040093.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">As you approach the center, the half-circles will start to really overlap. That's okay. Just pinch together. See below.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">When you get as many half-circles glued in as you want, then you can finish the center. I glued a button into the center to hide the edges.</div><br />

Whew - its been a crazy start to the New Year! Super busy already.....<br />
<br />
I wanted to make a new wreath for my front door for Winter, but did not want to spend any money, so I looked around blogland and my new favorite place, Pintrest! I found lots of inspiration out there and realized I had everything I needed on hand to make a quick wreath.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTYJISTm5zfyGoDh-YazuriC3cPXK8Hw9JIKo4XobVofOovbuQ6pHMBYUooh_Pw9pq2ezWKZeSWkylSuaaR_4FlKu_TnYzNAhAICO5hmyKF6C3N8BvO4arE-UbXF1rxpnx995p-g9llenz/s1600/winterwreath1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTYJISTm5zfyGoDh-YazuriC3cPXK8Hw9JIKo4XobVofOovbuQ6pHMBYUooh_Pw9pq2ezWKZeSWkylSuaaR_4FlKu_TnYzNAhAICO5hmyKF6C3N8BvO4arE-UbXF1rxpnx995p-g9llenz/s320/winterwreath1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Using an old wreath that had seen better days, I dismantled it completely until I was left with only the bare bones. Then I took felt and made felt flowers, glued it onto some canvas fabric, then pinned the canvas onto the wreath. I also had some snowflakes I bought at the Dollar Tree last year and put those in as well. <br />
<br />
Now, you are probably asking yourself "why didn't that silly Aggie just glue it directly onto the wreath?" Well, let me tell ya - I think I want to try and get a bit more mileage out of my wreath and reuse it to change it out quickly - and I don't have to store a bunch of different wreaths!!! Just change out decor. We'll see how that goes!<br />
<br />
Here's a close up:<br />

I'm sharing tags 4 & 5 today. Tag 4 took me a lot longer to work on than I anticipated because I had to wait for stuff to dry - but it was worth the wait! If you are being inspired by<a href="http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/page/2/"> <span style="color: red;">Tim's</span></a> tags and playing along you may be thinking "I don't have all that stuff!" Well, let me tell you, it can be intimidating at first - 2 years ago I went and bought all the supplies. Last year I bought a couple of items and tried to use my own stuff to fill in. Well, this year I've made it my mission to not buy anything and use what I already have. In tag 4, I used packaging that a Cricut cartridge came in! Later on, you'll see I used wax paper in place of glassine (but that's a different day). You too can seek around your house - you'll be amazed at what you find!!<br />
<br />
OK - enough of that chitchat - on to the tags!<br />
<br />
Tag 4:<br />

<br />
I have to say that I love how these are turning out! I'm being creative and having fun for no reason at all! I put last year's tags on my tree and I enjoy seeing them displayed. I think I might frame some of these this year and have them as wall art next year. What do you think? Tree, framed, any other ideas?<br />
<br />
I'll see ya soon!<br />

I am participating in Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas again this year! I LOVE learning new techniques and revisting older ones that I've forgotten about since last year. This year has already been so much fun! I am starting with Tag 1 here - but I may post out of order, or all together because I'm a bit behind in sharing my tags. I have been creating a bit here and there and just enjoying the creative process for no other reason than just because!<br />
<br />
So - my first tag!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I really enjoyed making this one with my stash on hand. I was able to use my plethora of Cricut cartridges to help me with the die cuts. I created the Noel with Cricut Design Studio, Winter Wonderland Font, and Tie the Knot and welded them together. The leaves and holly are from Winter Frolic and Christmas Cheer, respectivley, and the pinecones are actually flowers from Flower Shoppe. Thanks for stopping by and looking - I'll try to get the others posted as well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
