Yes, I Sewed Something!

Most people know I'm not a good sewer. Machines and I don't get along. And my rather short ADD attention span frustrates me when sewing. But I really wanted a pretty camera strap cover and the prices I was finding for ones I like (typically with ruffles), were more than my Disney Broke budget would allow.


So I took myself to JoAnns and got fabric and ruffle trim for under $5.00! Two hours later, I have an A-FRAKIN-DORABLE camera strap cover. I even have a pocket on one end for a spare battery, and a pocket on the other end for a spare SD card. To say I'm proud if myself is an understatement! 

I even made the girl a lanyard for her point & shoot camera from the scraps (which she loves by the way).

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Design Team at Altered Pages  has been working with PINK! I LOVE pink, and I love Halloween,  so I thought to myself, "self, how can we use pink with Halloween?" Well, I came up with an answer, and I hope you like it. I used collage sheet  "Screaming Skulls" for this tag, and use two image transfer techniques. Here's a quick tutorial: Ink tag with Distress Inks- Victorian Velvet, Spun Sugar, and Worn Lipstick. Stamp back ground stamp with Worn Lipstick, and again (offset) with Vintage Photo. Flick some water onto the tag. Dry with heat gun, then ink the edges of the tag with a  little Vintage Photo. Print the Screaming Skulls collage sheet twice. Cut out the anatomy skulls. Paint the image with some matte medium, mod podge, or cheap Elmer's white glue, and slap it face down onto the tag. Let dry. Once dry, wet the back of the image,...
