Back in my Craft Room!

Hi Everyone! I am sorry that I was MIA last weekend but I was at home in the Rio Grande Valley helping my mom with my sister's baby shower.
I really wanted to come home last Sunday and work on a short but quick project but all I wanted to do is lay down after driving for 6 hours straight.

This week has been busy for me. Getting back into the swing of things at work after having a few days off is draining! I also had lots of catching up with work after being in clinic all day.
So this weekend was my time to catch up in my craft room which I was finally able to do yesterday. Yay!!

I started working on my Project Life album for February but not quite done yet. I will show you a few pictures of what I have so far and will make another video showing all the completed pages once I am done.
I have 3 1/2 pages done for February which is pretty good! For January I only had taken enough pics for 2 pocket pages.

I used most of my Studio Calico Project Life kit for February (Front Row) and I will post a video on the contents of the kit here on my blog.

Right now I am on a scrapbooking and Project Life kick! I want to make more cards but hard to squeeze in the time. I am also trying to finish my 2012 Project Life album which I will be doing in the upcoming weeks.

My craft desk is a BIG MESS but I love it! Here are some pics that I took last night:

I have been going through my stash and try to use as much as I can. I have also been including stitching on at least 1-2 cards on each page using my sewing machine.
I will show more specific details in my video later this week.


Now let me show you some the projects that I did for my sister's baby shower. Her colors were "blush and bashful" but really her colors were pink and pink! :)
She fell in love with the cute owl from one of my Cricut cartridges, so for 3 nights all I did back in early February was cut these owls. So her theme for the shower was pink and owls :)

I also made her a deco mesh wreath for the baby shower which she is hoping to use for her hospital door as well.
And of course, one of my famous diaper cakes!

My mom loved my deco mesh wreath so much that she asked me to make one for my grandmother. So off we were to Hobby Lobby the day before the shower. 

My grandmother loves the American flag and any decor that goes with the 4th of July, so I decided to make her one using that same theme.

She LOVED it and was very happy to get such a present. My talent for crafting comes from both my grandmothers. One of my grandmothers passed away 12 years ago and she really loved to craft, sew, and knit. My grandma Nena is also a big crafter and always loved doing floral decor including wreaths. When she saw my wreath, she was so happy and proud that she had passed this talent down to her grandchildren. 

I LOVE to craft and wish I could it every day but what really makes it worthwhile is when I see people enjoy and appreciate my creations. 

My family are my biggest fans and they are always encouraging me to continue with my crafting :)


Well the only thing I have left for today is to include my video showing my Studio Calico Project Life kit for the month of February called Front Row. I filmed this at the beginning of the month after I received it. I never posted it on my You Tube channel as most of my subscribers probably have already seen the kit by the time I received it. So I wanted to show this video mostly for my blog followers who are curious on what the kit actually includes and then later want to see how I used it in my Project Life album.

Will post my video on my Project Life update sometime in the next week here on my blog.

I also have a video that I need to edit and create showing my latest purchase from Two Peas online that includes the newest collections from Amy Tangerine, Dear Lizzy, and the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes collection. This are all gorgeous but my favorite so far is the Maggie Holmes.
I purchased some products from www.allscrapbooksteals.com that included some embelishments from Amy Tangerine and Dear Lizzy that I did not buy at Two Peas. I also purchased some of the papers and embelishments from the Studio Calico Snippets collection.

It has been really hard to control my shopping as there are so many wonderful new collections.


Thanks for stopping by fellow crafters and sorry that I don't actually have a finished project for this week but please tune in later this week for my video on Project Life.


Have a great week everyone!
