Tutorial - Here is something you can create for little girls.....

Here is an idea I absolutely love from this current SU Catalog (Sping/Summer 2009). What am I talking about....well take a peek at page #65.

Our little Miriam loves *Hair-Clips* and when I saw the little Snap Barrettes at the Craft Store I thought of the project I have seen in the Catalog and I knew they would turn out great!!!

Here is what you will need to create the little *Hair-Clips*:

• - Fleurettes Accents & Elements or some handmade crochet flowers
• - Rhinestones
• - Crop-A-Dile
• - Snap Barrettes from your Craft Store.

For my little project I used both the SU Fleurettes plus my sweet friend Sabrina Jackson was so nice to sent me some of her fabulous handmade crochet flowers!!! Thank you Sabrina - I love them!!!

These are the SU Fleurettes - there are 12 flowers in a package:These are the handmade flowers from my friend Sabrina: You layer the flowers as you like - I added a larger and a smaller one, plus added the clear Rhinestone in the center:
Sabrina's flowers are also in different sizes - I added a purple Rhinestone in the center: Next I removed the Barettes from the package:
I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch a hole on the rounded side closer to the snap:
Once the hole was punched I placed the Rhinestone with the flower into the opening and fastened it:

If you would use buttons instead of Rhinestones you would have to sew these thru the hole!!! That's why I opted for the Rhinestones, much fast process - LOL!!! These are the two SU flowers in different combo's: These four clips were done in less than 15 minutes:

I soooo wish I could show you how it looks on our little Miriam......but it was already late when I created this project and my sweet little Miriam was sleeping...that means I have to comeback and show you all how great they look!!!

I'll be gone in the morning so look out for a photo in the later afternoon!!!

Let me know what you think of this cute little project?!? ~TFL~

CC212 Truly Thankful....

Hey you all - happy *April Fool's Day*!!!

My day went by too fast yesterday and I never had a chance to post this card I created for the CC212.....

Emily has chosen these colors - Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip and Riding Hood Red. Well some where along the line I had a hard time fitting the Red in - LOL?!? So I decided just to add a touch of it to the inside of the flower!!!

This gorgeous brand new *Passion Flower* Set is from Innovative Stamp Creations!!!

I inked it in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copic Markers - G94, E47 and RV11 (which matches the Pink Pirouette perfectly!!!) plus a touch of Riding Hood Red.

The card itself measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". I layered the Chocolate Chip and the Pink Pirouette CS onto my White (PTI) card base. Next I tied the yummy Satin Chocolate Chip Ribbon around before I added the colored image. The sentiment is from the same Set and I also inked it in Memento Black. Of course I had to add my fab Silver Pearls at the end - LOL!!!

I also made a cute little candy box with it the Bigz Die Cut Box#2. The same flower image was inked in Pink Pirouette onto the same color CS. I added some more yummy CC Satin Ribbon and voila a sweet little giveaway.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment!!! Have a great day!!!

Hey guess what - I'm hosting the April OCC Challenges so make sure to stop by to see me again on Saturday!!!
