Pioneer Trek Vinyl – part 2

Pioneer Trek Vinyl – part 2

This is a continuation of my Trek Bucket Vinyl Art post from May. After I added the vinyl design of handcart pioneers to my son’s Trek bucket, I wanted to add the motto for our stake’s Trek, which is Philippians 4:13. I love this scripture. 

Secret Sister | Juice Box Tote

Butterfly Headband with Italian Crepe Paper

Butterfly Headband with Italian Crepe Paper

I’ve been playing with pink and gold 180 gram Italian crepe paper from Carte Fini, and it’s a lot of fun to work with! This is not your typical paper, nor even your typical lightweight crepe paper. I’ve seen a lot of beautiful floral arrangements

Baby Girl Onesies | Heat Transfer Tutorial

Baby Girl Onesies | Heat Transfer Tutorial

I have just fallen in love with heat transfer material all over again! Not because I was procrastinating, but because I have been so busy (ahem)…I waited until the day of a baby shower to start on my gift.  I got up early and went 

Handmade Card Collection

Handmade Card Collection

I was asked by a friend to make two sets of cards to give away at a “get-to-know-you” event.  I didn’t have a lot of time to create something from scratch, so I revisited several cards I’ve done in the past to come up with

  It’s fun to have crafty skills to help others with their projects. My brother-in-law Jeremy Telford (a.k.a. The Balloon Guy) is playing the conductor during a “Polar Express” neighborhood Christmas party. He asked if I could make him a decal for a conductor hat,

O.K. I know Halloween is past for this year, but I promised to share this when I posted a sneak peak on Instagram.  This is definitely not an original idea; I saw it on Pinterest in several variations (all made from toilet paper rolls), but

3D Rosette

3D Rosette

I’ll be sharing a tutorial in the next few days for a patriotic ribbon that uses a 3D rosette, but I think it will be simpler to show how to make the necessary rosette separately.  3D rosettes are fun to add to all sorts of
