My daughter needed a patriotic tee & even though I believe she has a few, we couldn't find any! So, Mommy to the rescue. I pulled out my t-shirt supplies, some masking tape, & a foam brush... And viola! I laid the shirt flat, but not too flat (wasn't trying to be perfect) and used tape to mark off where the blue square for the stars and to hold the place of the white stripes. After I applied the red paint (Tulip Soft Fabric Paint), I allowed it to dry for a few minutes and reapplied two long strips to create the blue square. What patriotic tee or flag is complete without stars??? I used Tulip Beads in a Bottle to add a little shimmer & dimension. Mini Me loves it & I hope you do too!

How has everyone been? I have been on a papercrafting hiatus, but the crafter in me has not been able to rest. I have picked up my crochet hooks & yarn and have been warming up the winter months.

Pin It This month, I am one of the special guests over at One Scrappin Sista's blog. All this month, she has had her crafty friends stopping by to create beautiful projects using her favorite colors. I chose to create a Beautiful Butterfly Birthday card using turquoise, orange (my favorite color), and purple. For my project, I made - what else - a birthday card.  I recently picked up an American Girl border punch & a Cuttlebug embossing folder - from the  Cricut Companion Once Upon a Princess set -  that, both, featured butterflies. I was so anxious to use them on a project together. What better time to create than now?!?! I used turquoise Recollections metallic cardstock from Michael's along with purple & orange cardstock from their seasonal packs.  I used some of my VersaMagic chalk ink in Sea Breeze to ink the edges of the card base & layered pieces. I added some white ribbon from my stack & a few brads and viola!  ...
