Thanksgiving tags

Made some Thanksgiving tags today, to tie up
some Thanksgiving treats. Kind of a quick
make, but it was a relief to get my hands
inky again, know what I mean?

If you click on the pics, they will enlarge
for you . . .



The vintage Thanksgiving postcard images are
from Altered Pages, and



the crown stamp is from Stampin' Up. First
time I'd used it--it's a keeper!



What are you thankful for today?
:)

this song makes me laugh.

Plus, it kind of goes with the lovely little
hair arts below! C'mon, make dolphin noises,
you know you want to . . .



I need a kick in the creative bum--haven't
made anything arty for what seems like WAY
too long. Need to sort through some Altered
Pages images, and check out the challenges
on Gingersnap Creations for a little inspiration.

C'mon, give me a link to something fun you've
made or seen lately. I REALLY like these
that Cameron made with sea glass:

Looks right for fall, yes?


But this is my favorite--gorgeous!

the minky project revealed.

Our niece requested a custom made car seat cover
for her new baby.

"No problem," I said.

Well, it really wasn't a problem, but it sure took
a lot longer than I thought it would!! The first
one is the practice cover, made with repurposed fabrics:


Kind of a fun vintage 70's print. It turned out
okay; the car seat strap holes don't look quite
as nice as I'd like, but I gotta say, the canopy
made me feel victorious.

Here's the custom made cover; the new mommy chose
the fabrics (the flower is removable):


This was the first time I'd worked with minky,
which, as the name suggests, is incredibly soft.
I kind of want some minky undies . . .

(Lola, every time I put a pin in my mouth, I
thought of you!!)

Here she is, modeling her new car seat
cover, on her first outing:
