Show your Love :-)

I recently decided to put together a little hair do-dad for myself for when I go to crops, conventions and for when I am teaching.  I want everyone to know about Creative Passion and the amazing classes we have there and I figured what better way to show that love then to walk around with it displayed on my head!  He he.  So here is what I did…

The supplies I used can be exchanged and played with a lot.  Use what you have in your stash and find a button that shows your love!  I colored a paper flower, a crocheted flower and lace with my Copics so they would match perfectly with my Creative Passion button.  I also used a Gluber to hold things together, needle thread and a large hair clip.

Step #1 – I used the pin on the back of the button to attach the button onto the paper and then crocheted flowers.

Step #2 – Next I added the Gluber on the back of the crocheted flower.  (You could skip this step and sew it all together instead, I just love using Glubers)

Step #3 – Take the lace and gather it along one edge, adhering it to the center of the Gluber.  Work your way all the way around the Gluber.

Step #4 – Sew the hair clip onto the lace.  Make sure it is facing the way you want so you can get the button right side up in your hair!

All done!  Here are the two that I made.  A friend NEEDED one as well.  Any way fun and sweet and oh so easy!

TUNE IN THIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19TH FOR A MAJOR BLOG HOP AND GIVEAWAY!

Then next week I will show you some layouts I created at CKC and the amazing Copic/doodly apron I wore around 🙂

Perfect Doodly Weekend

I spent the last weekend at the Kansas City, Creating Keepsakes Convention.  I got to visit my FABULOUS friend Brenda, take a few classes, shop way too much, scrapbook way too late and I even got to teach two classes.  I taught “Inky Doodle Journal” and “Oodles of Doodles”  Both groups worked on a mini album.  We got a lot done but did not quite complete the albums.  One of the participants in Oodles asked if I would post my big collection of repetitive pattern doodles here so here it is!

I hope I will see several of them over at Creative Passion as well.  Many seemed interested.  Anyway it was a huge success all in all and I plan on returning next year to play, shop, scrap and teach again!

I hope everyone else had as equally as nice a weekend.  Happy Monday!

Make sure to tune in next week.  I am going to be posting a fun mini tutorial here on making a hair clip or flower out of a button and then I should have a big post later in the week that will have a prize attached!

Happy weekend all!
