CR84FN Challenge: Meet my new pin cushion!!

Friday, January 21, 2011

So excited to finally get in on the fun of this wonderful new color challenge. I've been visiting for quite some time, hoping to get the time to participate, and it looks like this is my week!! And look at the colors for this week...
How rich and snuggly! Each time I came to visit, that soft, puffy heart kept catching my eye. And being inspired by the upcoming lovee-dovee holiday...I thought--that's what I've got to do!! So...I found some pretty red and white calico fabric, got my felt out, and started creating. I even found some Kraft-colored felt. I keep looking at the wool felts at JoAnns...hoping for new colors...(never happens)...but this color was just what I needed!! I cut and rolled a few flowers, and used my Papertrey Beautiful Blooms 3 for others. The large one used a Spellbinder scalloped circle and some soft sheer fabric, torn and gathered up...I liked the way they turned out...each one a little different...just like US...makes life beautiful, doesn't it?!?

This is the first time I've broken open my Papertrey Banner Builder set, too! I'm gonna love it!! I stamped part of a sentiment from the Love Lives Here set on it...
I also used the leaves from Papertrey's Blooming Button Bits with some brown Staz-On, along with some SU Close to Cocoa and PTI Pure Poppy. Anyway...meet my new pin cushion/needle holder friend...


I'm so excited about this--ALWAYS knowing where to find my needle and thread!! No more looking right at it on my messy craft table, and not being able to SEE it...it will be HANGING!! YEAH!!! I was really excited about making something so practical!!

Better finish this post up before time runs out!!

Hope you enjoyed yourself here today...have a great day...and DO come back!!

    This is Gorgeous! I love each of the flowers you created! I would not want to add another pin to this cushion because it would spoil the beautiful look it already has! Definitely a winner!
