Attended the ever amazing Matilda's Mouse Barn Sale this saturday. My sisters and I met up for a bite of breakfast and then off to the sale. So many amazing finds!!! Love the show can't wait for the next one.

OH MY GOODNESS


Took this cubby home with me (I have a weakness for yellow)...my mom is trying to steal it for our chickens. However I believe you'll be seeing this as a display piece in my booth. Speaking of booth my upcoming show Sew Funky in Riverside this saturday. Come check it out if you're in the area.

My First Insta Friday

This is my first Instagram Friday...a look back on the week in grainy photo style. As usual my week as filled with blessings (children, husband, work) of course when you're in the midst of all of these it gets exhausting. Yesterday I had to make a dreaded trip to Joanns (love the store just gets crazy shopping with the kiddos and making sure I get everything I need).

The kids in the morning:

Playing Card Boxes

I've been hoarding these vintage Congress playing card boxes for awhile now. I buy them even if the playing cards inside have a hideous design on them. Finally I sat down and created little packets of inspiration. Each one contains vintage ephemera, vintage findings and another of my coveted items (tart tins). I love tart tins!! I have a whole box of them!


Also decided to take one of them and embellish the outside with a vintage brides theme (something blue). I've got weddings on my mind with a slew of friends getting married this year. A few vintage wedding images to inspire!

New Card Creations

I am so inspired by all the lovely sketches and card challenges on the web. It's always such a challenge to see what I can come up with!

My first card is for MojoMonday's card challenge. I love incorporating vintage fabric into my cards and I had this lovely scrap left! I die cut is and added it to the background then based my colors off of that.


Second is my Paper Players card...its just a simple yet very pretty Springtime card. Of course I used the Happy Birthday sentiment as my dear friend's Birthday is approaching in the next month.


Third card I created using the Stampin 411 sketch challenge. I used a retired stamp set that I just love "on the grow" and paired it with some amazing products from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.


Always such a challenge to get these done in time for the challenges but I adore being able to create so freely! Visit my blog tomorrow for a giveaway of one of my new products "Vintage Found Paper Bundle"
