I saw this on Flickr - isn't it amazing?! Eliana had green shamrock pancakes for breakfast this morning, but these beat those hands down! I want to make some!

Vintage Spring Banner
A new fiber, paper, and metal mercantile opened up today in Bozeman... Simply Fresh Arts! I'm excited about it! The owners are 3 of my friends, so I was up there taking a peek and giving a small hand last Thursday when I was inspired by all the beautiful products. Lots of vintage, lots of shabby chic, lots of fun! I came home and made this over the weekend:
The illustrations are from a book I have from the 1890's, the gems are from a necklace that was my grandmother's, the flowers made from another vintage book and hymnal... I'd been wanting to mix crochet with paper art, so I gave it a try on this project and I like it! I took it to the store today to show Kristii, since I'd been telling her about it, and there it remains, hanging on display by all the Prima goodness. Ha ha! I think it will become a class, and I'm actually excited about teaching some projects again, especially if they are as fun as this one was! Here are a couple closeups:
These illustrations crack me up, because they have such funny captions for seemingly normal pictures. The one of the boy says, "The most popular boy in the deaf school." The one of the two little girls says, "He kept pointing toward the fields." They all have pretty funny captions. Gotta love vintage!

The Craft Monster...
The Craft Monster got bored one day and painted my wall. Who lets that Craft Monster out, anyway? Really Monster should have been contained so the house could get cleaned, or some more organizing projects tackled, but no... Craft Monster went on a teeny rampage.
The wall makes me happy.

One Blank Page, Two Ways
I really like this blank layout, but I haven't decided which way I like it better. I guess it will depend on what pictures I use. That's part of the fun of making pages before I have photos, I think!

Blank Canvas
I have the desire to craft, but my pictures are all disorganized and I want nothing to do with them. My solution? Make pages ready for pictures when I get around to organizing them! =D This has actually been a lot of fun, and I'm stockpiling for the day I get excited about getting my pictures in order...

CSA 2009
I wanted a way to document that we participated in a CSA and why this last year, so I figured a scrapbook page was as good as any.

Baby Ray
My best friend recently had her fourth child and her first son! I got to see him while I was in Texas over Christmas. What a little cutie!

Plunger Hat

| From Scrapbook Pages |
I don't know what's with the out of focus pictures as of late, but I'm too lazy to retake them, and it took me long enough just to get new stuff onto this blog that you'll just have to suffer through. =D

The Demise of the Gingerman House
This is a layout I did over Christmas, and one I'm quite fond of! Just documenting Ellie's destruction of our gingerbread house, or the "gingerman" house, as she called it.

Valentine's Day Banner

| From Valentine's Day Banner |
Since my Cricut has a permanent home now, I decided to use it to make a Valentine's Day banner! It was a quick, fun project using 3 of my cartridges. Sort of plain and simple, but I like it!

The Fashionable Forties
Another heritage layout, this time of my grandfather in WW2 and a couple of his friends. I just love this picture in all of its 40's splendor!

Jesse
I did a couple heritage pages recently, including this one of my great grandmother Jesse and her friends. It's kind of fun to scrap old pictures!
