Cross stitch looms

I have had this collection of cross stitch looms forever and I have wanted to do something with them. They have been hanging on the wall for at least a year just blank nothing in them. About a week ago a friend gave me a dcwv stack that inspired me to finally do something with them the colors in the stack were perfect and went well with my room, so I started cutting the designs to fit the looms and there was a sheet of tags you could cut out and use as embellishment. I decided to use my favorite Tim holtz quote stamps and stamped a different one on each tag then I started to pull this from my stash. Bits of findings and jewelry reused, some very old scrapbook embellishments I have saved for a special project. Over all them came out pretty cool. It was the perfect distraction from hurricane sandy and my head feeling like its going to explode and my runny nose that sandy has caused. Tomorrow I'm back to getting homework done. And at the moment time for sleep.

Yarn wreath

I have wanted to make a yarn cover wreath for awhile and thought that it would be an awesome way to show off the new ctmh product. As I went along I remembered that I don't love making the spiral flowers. I have attempted them a few times and haven't quite gotten them down pat yet. So I ended up making my "Tim Holtz" inspired roses. This was my first time using the ctmh heart cardstock and pattern papers to do it. I think it came out pretty cute. I might add a few more flowers but not today. It's time to walk away from the craft table. The other thing I want to add is a ribbon to hang it from.
