Scrapbook Layout - "Enjoy" with Quick Quotes and Xyron

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a layout using Whistlin' Dixie papers. This layout is for any special moment you enjoyed and would like to remember. I chose a photo from my first year of gardening because I grew sunflowers that were over 6 feet tall. I added some glitter and wood cutouts, check out the video below to follow along.

I hope the video was easy to follow and you have time to scrap a memory you love.

When Sewing Takes Over

I have been busy making things like there is no tomorrow! I just realized I haven't posted anything in over a week, so today, here is a crafty, sewing showcase.

Let's start with the baby quilt that is a companion to the "Amelia" quilt I made. 

Just like the other one, but different colors.

I also decided to try working on my own fabric by putting my drawings on mug rugs and I started with one of the Jelly Friends, Tamber Melon and my resident Meowfox Mr. Snugglekins.

Hi guys! 

Then I coordinated background fabric and attached them to the centers. 

Finally I applied backing and binding. 

All done!  

Posing as a mini rug! 

I cannot stress enough how happy it makes me to create things and I am so happy to have a new way to create by being able sew things and quilt.  I wish I'd been doing it forever, but I'm happy I started at all. I encourage you to start doing whatever it is you would like to do, today!!! I have learned to knit, crochet, paper craft, and sew...in the last 5 years! I keep telling anyone who will listen that I am so happy I started seeing because there's this whole world of fabric and patterns that I have access to now! I am really enjoying sewing and I look forward to improving as I keep working! Tomorrow I will be posting a video about making inked backgrounds for your layouts, happy crafting!

Quilt Fabric Storage Idea with the Big Shot

Hi everyone! I just started using my Sizzix Big Shot to cut fabric and I had an epiphany. I'm a modern quilter and I love jelly roll quilts. I was cutting some fabric last night and decided to "kit" my jelly rolls. 

Cutting 2.5" strips

Strips galore! 

Then I put them into groups I would probably use together. 

I tied the rolls with scrap strips from cutting.

Then I can just stack them up and save space! This would make an awesome gift for a fellow quilter as well. Hope this helps organize your stash, happy crafting!

Quick Quotes Shaker Tag How to

Hello everyone Gabriela here today with a video showing how to make a shaker tag! I started by choosing a paper from the Chiffon collection and die cutting my pieces. I stamped an image on what would be the inside of the tag and while that was drying I worked on the front of the tag. This tag can be used with a gift or it can be adhered to the front of a card. I finished it up with a stencil some Powder Puff Chalking Inks, die cut stickers, and a piece of ribbon. Check the video out below to see the whole process.

I hope you enjoyed the video and you make some shaker tags of your own, happy crafting!
