Pocketful of Love (lol)

Published by Michele Boyer at 1:49 pm under My Designs

Hey there!! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend.

I spent quite a bit of time cleaning and organizing my stamp area. (It needed it badly.) I bought a Clip-it-Up a while back and I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that one was not enough. Since I had extra clips, I asked my husband to make a little rack to hang my more commonly used items. This is what we came up with. (You can click on the thumbnail to see a bigger picture.) It’s pretty simple, but it sure made a difference in my mess. I started organizing my ribbon (finally) too. I’m using Cropper Hopper 3 x 3 drawers and cards…I ran out of drawers and cards before I ran out of ribbon but at least I got a head start.

SO….I can’t even remember the last time I played along with the Technique Lovers Challenge over at SCS. Today’s challenge was to make a heart pocket. I’ve had this little kitty from The Cat’s Pajamas for a while and I’ve been dying to use it. It’s finally been inked! After stamping the cat, I cut it out, using a craft knife for the inside area, then I raised him (her?) on pop dots.

I shrunk the heart pattern down a bit (you can find the pattern on this thread) so the cat wouldn’t be too terribly overwhelmed with the space. Since the paper wasn’t double-sided, I just traced the bottom portion onto the second pattern and adhered that to the pink heart. The flowers were punched from the second pattern and I used pink glittery brads for the centers. I adhered a tiny pink jewel to the tag for a little extra sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Monday!
