LA Garment District Haul

I recently visited the downtown LA Garment and Textile District.  I, of course, had a blast shopping...with one twist.  If you watch videos on YouTube, you must know Fi from Jennings644.  She lives in the UK and can't get all of the things we have here, especially at the prices we have.  She recently contacted me and asked if I would shop for her.  I was a little worried at first, but I said okay.  Since then, I have made a couple of videos showing the yummy stuff I got for both her and myself.

This video shows what I picked up for her.

If you look up her YouTube channel, she also shows a video of when she received it...I absolutely love her accent.
The next video is what I got for myself.

I will be listing several of these items on my Etsy shop this weekend.  I hope you enjoy these videos and just let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time!

Filofax! I've been bitten by the Filofax Bug!

Hi, everyone!  I am back with my new obsession...yes, the Filofax!  I think I spend more time decorating and organizing...and, of course, buying supplies for my Filofax than I have crafting.  What's wrong with me?!  Well, I will tell you there is something very therapeutic about organizing my life.  I haven't taken a lot of pictures, but I did make a video showing my new Filofax and how I set it up.

I just like the feel of it and looking at the pretty pages...weird, I know!  I blame this all on Cara over at AKCaraboo, that is her YouTube channel.  I love her videos, and then I noticed she had a Filofax...I think the saying is "Monkey See, Monkey Do."  Yep, had to get one.......did I forget to mention shopping for supplies?  This is my first Filofax haul video, but I have a couple more to tape...yeah, I'm addicted.

So I will leave you all to hopefully enjoy my videos of my new addiction...maybe a few of you will get bit by the Filofax bug too!  See ya later!

MTME Handbag Video Tutorial

Can you believe it?  My video finally uploaded!  Now, I know it's a little long, but really?!  It took me almost two full days for this little puppy to upload to YouTube.  Whew!

So enough rambling.  This is the video tutorial that shows you how to put together the Handbag template from My Time Made Easy. 

I hope you enjoy it, and if you have any questions, just leave me a comment and I will try to answer it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

MTME -- Handbag Template

So this is the last post for the April release...so sad, because it was such a fun release...but never fear, My Time Made Easy has released so many wonderful things this month, I just couldn't help myself.  I made a couple of extra projects that I will post throughout the next couple of weeks!  Yay!

Isn't this the sweetest package to give to a girlfriend who loves shopping?  You know who I mean, Gloria!  I love the size of this.  It is approximately 10 1/2 inches tall, which is perfect for Bath & Body Works and a whole host of other gifts!

I used the Handbag template with the Romance digital paper pack and the brand new Purse Patterns paper...a must have, don't you think?   I added a couple of flowers and lace to the pockets and some Stickles to the buckle.

And just to give it the purse flavor, I added a silver twine ribbon with a key and lock charm...love!  I was also very lucky to have a couple of Basic Gray brads that matched perfectly with the paper...lucky!

And for those of you who want to make this bag along with me, I have made a video tutorial showing you how to put this together...it's a piece of cake, I tell you!

It is downloading now, so it won't be up until later this afternoon.

I hope you enjoyed this, and please don't forget to give some love and get some inspiration from the other girls!

MTME Sexy Soles

I just love the name of my project I have for you today...Sexy Soles!  Isn't that a great name?!
I have a special post today.  Not only did I take pictures to post of this fantastic template, but I have include a video tutorial for you!  Yay!

How cute is this design?  I mean really...I have a severe shoe fetish and this was right up my alley!

The template, of course, is Sexy Soles, and the paper for the soles is called Grammy's Pretty Patterns digital paper pack.

Don't you love that buckle and lace.  I love everything frilly...as you know, so you can imagine how much fun I had in decorating this pattern!

So here you have it.  And as I said, I made a two-part video tutorial on how to put this shoe together.  This is my very first video tutorial, so let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy it!

You aren't finished yet...oh, yeah, more goodies to come if you stop by the other teamies blogs to see what they have done!

Double Rosettes and Mini Composition Book Swap

Today I wanted to share with you some things I made for the Mini Composition Book and Double Rosette swap over at Art & Sassy. 

 

These are the three sets I made.  We were supposed to make three neutral colors and three of our favorite color, which, of course, is pink!
