Button Pillow

 I have seen this beautiful button pillows all over Pinterest and decided I would try to make one myself. I bought the buttons from an Etsy seller about 6 months ago and have just been putting off the project. It seemed like it would be so time consuming and tedious. It wasn't though! I finished this in a day. I used SCAL to cut out a "P" on my cricut and then traced it onto my fabric with a water soluble marker. Then I stitched each button on.

Lyric tree

I made a first dance lyric tree for my friend that recently got married. I got the inspiration from Pinterest. I think it turned out amazing! I hope they love it.

I also made them this framed dates piece. It contains several important dates to them. I also was inspired by Pinterest for this.

Wedding stationary

My friend recently got married. For her bridal shower I made her new stationary to reflect her new last name.

Sock Bunny

I'm still here, just haven't been scrapbooking. Trying to knock off several things on my crafty to-do list. 

I made this sock bunny (Pinterest inspiration) for one of the little girls I babysit. She loves bunnies and she loves pink. She promptly named her Ellie. I hope Ellie and Eve have many fun adventures together.
