Peace

Vinyl

Just a few things I've been working on.

Caramel Apples

Some of my girls and I got together and had a Caramel Apple making extravaganza!

I am excited about giving these to the kid's teachers, friends and some of Gordon's co-workers but mostly I can't wait to partake myself (especially the one with the Reese's pieces on it-I totally stole the idea from someone else)

I don't know if this counts for crafty...

but it's good!

Wise Men

This was an activity we did last year at church.
At first the women didn't want to make them, but when they found out it was vinyl and no stenciling was involved they were all over it. They ended up ordering more and giving them out as gifts.

Noel

I am in love with this!!!

It was such a fun activity for me, I so enjoy my vinyl projects.

I thought this would be perfect for the mantle.

I will be posting new projects daily in preporation for Farrah and my Christmas show!

More Ornaments

christmas ornaments

The cutest way to give gifts to your children's class mates without breaking the bank.

candles

I got these little candles and thought it would be cute to spell out something on them; what do you know, I was right! I am also doing some Christmas ones with peace & hope.

I think it's another cute and inexpensive thing to give or keep!

Piggy Bank

So sorry I haven't posted in a while...Not sure if anyone still checks it but at any rate,

this is my new favorite thing to give kids for birthdays. It's fairly inexpensive, cute and useful but most of all kid's really love it!

baby bib

I made this bib for the baby. Originally I wanted to do vinyl on top of the material but with it being such a little bib it didn't work out to well but I hope to figure out a way to make it work on a bigger sized bib. I got a whole bunch of cute material and will be sure to post some more pic's when I am finished.

Flower Power

Last month my sister-in-law gave Ella some really cute sunflower clips and Ella has worn them no stop, so I decided to recreate these adorable hair accessories myself. This is what I have come up with.

I did make a matching one so that she could wear them with piggy-tales or have a double French braid.

She feels so glamorous.

More to come

I have been doing other craft projects lately (other then cards) and will post them as soon as I can. I am just saying, I can do more then just this.

A few of my favorite things

My new 2 favorite things are: my scalloped 3 in. circle punch, and stickles! I got 2 stickle colors a few weeks ago and then for my birthday some friends gave me more and I just can't stop using them. I want to stickle everything; I have even gone back through my old cards and have stickled them. It's become an obsession. I want...no, I need all of the colors!
I also love, love, love my scalloped punch. I had to search for hours on the Internet to find it but it was well worth the trouble. I have used it ever since I got it, minus the few days that I lent it out. Even while it was gone all I could think about was what I could do next with it. My glorious stickles collection!

I am doing lot's of quick cards due to my present condition.
This is my favorite! I used stickles, the scalloped punch and my beautiful Martha S. ribbon.
I love it.

Scraps

Last week the pile of leftover craft supplies was getting out of hand and I thought to myself, "Coren, you really need to do something with all that junk". I decided to sit down and see what I could do with it. I was suprised at some of the great little cards I was able to come up with. I was afraid that it would be hard to get anything good out of all the orphaned paper bits, but the ideas came quite easily. Here are some of the cards I came up with:

This is a test of Crafty Coren...

Crafty Coren. She's always up to something. Perhaps that is why I love her so much. This blog is for her to use to show off all her beautiful crafts. Hopefully they will inspire others and add another dimension to her already full life.

I love you sweet cheeks!
