I then Folded the top edge over about an inch (eyeballed) and stitched it down, i wanted to make sure i would have enough room to pull the Safety pin with the draw string through! i then folded the bag over and sewed the two remaining raw edges together. I pulled the draw string through with a safety pin and tied it. using a fork i frayed the ended of the string to make it look a little better! I then Simply inserted the bag into the basket, the bag becomes a liner for the basket and i can simply pull it out when its full and carry it to the laundry room that is located outside the apartment, and if i need to go to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">laundry mat</span> it looks better than carrying a basket with all my clothes hanging out!!!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04802474536274299499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086076614733733624.post-38663221678430982102010-06-30T07:04:00.000-07:002010-06-30T07:09:33.357-07:00Graduation Dress for ABW!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ORTgP56PF3DeIvOBHKY5r4SXjsyYj2uNF0lnvMuel20vs3pZ3zCgfJv_XIZRkQKFH54dBbB1NHluy0fP7xjPob6dhQT70L_M1EwRdamiex3vVMnnc_P2OOaIksxLKuS9hQHK3GC-K5s/s1600/IMG_3781.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ORTgP56PF3DeIvOBHKY5r4SXjsyYj2uNF0lnvMuel20vs3pZ3zCgfJv_XIZRkQKFH54dBbB1NHluy0fP7xjPob6dhQT70L_M1EwRdamiex3vVMnnc_P2OOaIksxLKuS9hQHK3GC-K5s/s400/IMG_3781.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488568280176643266" /></a><br />I made this dress for my mom to wear to South Jefferson Central High Schools Graduation Commencement Exercises!

The last weekend in March i went to Mass. and took classes at the Sue Gilman tradeshow. I took an awesome class from time holtz and at the end of the class he gave us each a stamp set. from his new collection from Stampers Anonymous. Well you all know me, i cant just own one stamp set from Tim Holtz. So when ABW and I got home, we ordered all but 2 sets. The card above was made, using the following sets: Fairytale Frenzy, Sketch Elements, Urban TApestry, Floral Tattoo, Slight Alterations and School Desk. All of the sets are amazing. I simply stamped all of the images in black or white on 2 diffrent colors of orange and a sheet of blackthen i cut them out, distressed some, ripped the edges of some, layed some on black mirror paper. i then layered, glue and stapled, i applied some black cobweb ribbon from Mayarts and added a date stamp from 7gypsies. </div>Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04802474536274299499noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086076614733733624.post-24150715565982104282009-02-26T14:20:00.001-08:002009-02-26T14:33:19.750-08:00Stress and a cupcake?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgipPUCt3bpyDNJk_rFirF4qipz4oQsqxFECBY1za8-NYKXVBy7SESPuK4540MdfyhTD47OXVzZtWItL7Aa9JPVmY78u2nlNPNaA8fiZuh3TVC_Lnf4JRJqTbzvgTBmQk_Sr-FaHPi6VBE/s1600-h/0226091727.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307237644112933122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 316px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgipPUCt3bpyDNJk_rFirF4qipz4oQsqxFECBY1za8-NYKXVBy7SESPuK4540MdfyhTD47OXVzZtWItL7Aa9JPVmY78u2nlNPNaA8fiZuh3TVC_Lnf4JRJqTbzvgTBmQk_Sr-FaHPi6VBE/s400/0226091727.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Well as many of you know this saturday is the last day that Dragonfly Rubber Stamps and Gifts will be open.

I have been everywhere and anywhere the past few days, while i've been here in Des Moines. I've been shopping, out to eat, to the movies to see "Coraline" in 3D and i've even created a little. The ATC above is an Artist Trading Card that i made for the hostess of my Aunt Alice's ATC swap this month. I love the red stripe across the top and bottom of the gold strip. These great little strips are called German Scrap. They come in all shapes and colors and finishes. I have fallen in love with these things. This whole creating process that i've gone through on this vacation (as they call it) hopefully will get me back into making more ATCs and start to swap some more than i have been. Well i'm off to pack and get ready for my trip to Chicago tomorrow. I'm spending a few days with my cousin Jake who lives in Chicago. So will blog soon. :)</div>Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04802474536274299499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086076614733733624.post-20277845692820805672009-02-16T15:35:00.001-08:002009-02-16T16:06:08.141-08:00Hello from the Heartland...(and they have polyester)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMMeR3_4YgfWd14QZacJlBpjQ1QfWboMWZCasIP4M-peb-xW8ZlJoSsYOPfu0ynt05lTvAhyphenhyphenr_sMfUO0LHwN-KVcyyCgP1Cn32tZ0izdKxt2-TRF3w3xy_v8I5yDucwi_AXWLcsjGBfKU/s1600-h/AtomicGarage.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303550616133956498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 265px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMMeR3_4YgfWd14QZacJlBpjQ1QfWboMWZCasIP4M-peb-xW8ZlJoSsYOPfu0ynt05lTvAhyphenhyphenr_sMfUO0LHwN-KVcyyCgP1Cn32tZ0izdKxt2-TRF3w3xy_v8I5yDucwi_AXWLcsjGBfKU/s400/AtomicGarage.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Okay so i am here in West Des Moines, Iowa. i flew here by myself (but tecnically i was in an airplane but still....) and it was quite an experience. Shopping in Iowa is quite different than shopping in New York. Green Bags are even more popular here than they are on the East Coast. They also call plastic grocery bags "sacks." I went to the most wonderful store today. It is called the "Atomic Garage!" Imagine this: walls of Polyester, shelves of white faux leather Go-Go boots, and a twirling pillar of retro-inspired glasses. It was like heaven. i purchased a Chestnut Brown cardigan with matching suede panels on the front and it is quite amazing if i do say so myself. Well i'm off to dinner at a resturant called "O'Charley's." *Will blog soon*</div>Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04802474536274299499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086076614733733624.post-79632276283467334772009-01-28T12:26:00.000-08:002009-01-28T12:30:09.468-08:00Me and My Dyeok... just going to say a few words and then im off. so im sitting in my room thinking to myself wow im really bored and i can see the sleeve of one of my tuxedo shirts shut in the door. suddenly i thought of the dark brown dye i bought in ohio...... so as you can guess (and against my mothers wishes, well even when she says "oh i dont know" she knows that isnt going to stop me) so i have died a tux shirt dark brown. im so proud of myself and i didnt get any ye on the berber.....

Well i have been so busy the past week i am running around like a chicken with his head cut off.... Last weekend i went to the Winterfest weekend at the Oberlin Inn in Oberlin, Ohio. This event is hosted by Stacy Rich of StacyStamps. I taught a Ranger class using my all time favorite products and taught some of my favorite techniques. Soo every one who left my class(as the title of my class implies) left Running Rampant with Ranger. So here is a sample from my class. Hope you enjoy. </div><div> </div><div> (This technique is embossing an image in clear on a white core black tag, then using a handheld sandingblock sand away the black paper untill you achieve the desired look, then using the distress inks and an applicator tool, you will simply add color in the desired areas.*If too much color is added simply sand more until you have removed the excess color)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div></div>Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04802474536274299499noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086076614733733624.post-16456935774600925552009-01-09T11:57:00.000-08:002009-01-09T12:07:24.175-08:00Ahhh...

There are so many diffrent natural textures and colors that you find naturally put together. That you would never have thought to put together. </div>Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04802474536274299499noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086076614733733624.post-64092722827884390662009-01-07T15:15:00.000-08:002009-01-07T15:20:31.887-08:00Le Premiere Blog!<span style="font-family:courier new;"> Okay!
