Using fabric in place of patterned paper is always a fun change and it adds lots of interesting texture. Hitting the remnant section in fabric stores is one of my favorite things to do. Digging in the bins is like digging for hidden treasures… you just never know what wonderful patterns you are going to find.

I’m so excited that my first book deadline is fast approaching and I am actually right on target. Which just so happens to be the main reason I have been a bit of a bad blogger as of late. But this is the deadline were they use items for the cover of my book and I want every rhinestone, button, rubon, ribbon and piece of glitter in the perfect spot.

Oh one other thing… I have been thinking about doing more step by step tutorials on my blog. If any of you have a certain technique how to question please leave me a comment or email me and I will post a step by step tutorial for you.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Here is something I made over the weekend. I have been wanting an inspiration board for quite some time. So I used scraps of fabric I have been saving, some chicken wire found in our garage and an old frame a friend of mine gave me years ago. I plan on filling this with seam binding, ribbons, tags and other goodies to use in projects for my book. Sorry for the strange angle but this thing is big 36 x 24 and my room is small. But I think you get the idea.
