Chew Toys, Clippie, and a Skirt

Other projects inspired by Mandy Erickson. I used leftover fabric from the little one's blankets that I made and made chew toys, a flower clippie and a skirt, inspired by Kasia Jackson (another stampin' girl).

Sylvie and Cooper got matching chew toys...just boy and girl fabric and lots of Stampin' Up! ribbon. I folded up two cello bags and put them in the middle then stuffed batting on each side of the bags. This makes the toys crinkle as well. Mandy is a GENIUS!
I used her flower idea for the matching clippie and used the Scallop Square Duo die to make the chew toy and skirt. So CUTE! Want to see even cuter???Having a cousin the same size as you means you get to play dress-up. :) I know it will fit Sylvie because it fits Cooper. :)

I made something else for all the cousins and my girls but I'll post about them later after everyone has received their gifts.

Aprons

Inspired by Mandy (a gal in my Stampin' Up! group) I made these aprons for my girlies. I didn't have a pattern but I think they turned out better than I expected. They are ADORABLE!!!

The girls were very pleased as well.
The fabric is from Stampin' Up! and is only available until Jan. 3rd. My mom found the red fabric to go with it at a quilters store in Bountiful. I love the way they coordinate!
The one above is Mandy's and the one below is mine. The flowers are super cute too and are Mandy's great idea. Thanks! Now I just need one to match for myself! :)

You're Invited!

Just a couple of quick things:

Below is an invite to an awesome event! You do not have to be a club member or sign up for club to attend. This event is for customers and hostesses...and you're friends that may want to see what Stampin' Up! is all about and it's FREE!

If you cannot attend but would like to be included on our 2011 club calendar let me know as soon as possible. We'll be drawing names for who hostesses what months. Also let me know if there is a month you absolutely cannot host otherwise I will place you as you're name is drawn. Other details of club will be discussed and the information will be typed up and e-mailed to those not in attendance that will be participating in club.

I am looking for a few new club members so if you know of anyone that may be interested please bring them! You will get to pick a stamp set from my retired collection if they join.

If you are interested in what a club is/does call me or e-mail me so I can get you more details or just come to the Hostess & Customer Appreciation Event so that you can learn all about it and make your decision then.

PLEASE RSVP no later than Monday, December 13th so I can make sure I have prepared enough projects for everyone to make. I'm super excited and can't wait to stamp the night away!
