Remember when I showed you these baby gifts?

1. Boys shoes.

I got the pattern here.

This was the easiest pattern and best guides and instructions.

Trust me I know.

I made 6 pairs of shoes and only two pairs made the cut.

I did add an extra "buckle"  cause I wasn't crazy about how they look plain.

I have plans of making more for Lee.

Want to try and modify it into these...

I'll let you know if that happens:-)

2. White Linen Kimono Shirt.

Heh-heh.

This was made using this as inspiration.

Umm, the pattern was no help to me and it took like 38 pieces of paper to print it.

I scrapped the pattern and just winged it.

I used a pair of pants that were on clearance at Target to make it.

3. Girl Shoes

These are actually not that hard.

I got it right better on the second pair I made.

You can find the pattern here.

They were also made with the pants from Target.

*Tip* If you plan on making these then try to pick very light, thin material.

They don't do so well with bulk.

4. Freezer Paper Onesie/Applique Onesie

These were born from the inspirations I found on Pinterest.

Not actually onesies, but blankets, pillows and such.

Awesome tutorial on freezer paper right here.

Hope that helps!!

It was great fun and I found lots more ideas to try out someday too!

 

I'm late I know. These have been around for many a day, but I just discovered them. So for all of you other late people, let me show the greatness of distressing inks by Tim Holtz.


This plain little tag was turned into my own little tag of joy with a few simple stamps and inking.


Unfortunately I own very few stamps, so my joy is pretty limited at this time ;-)


You can lightly "stamp" over the background, then get it wet to give the ink a whole new look.


Not a fan of this one, but as you can see, the possibilities are endless.


This is everything I used to make the above pictured items. All was either purchased at Hobby Lobby or homemade. That little box on the left has these little pads that fit on your fingers that you can use to soak up some ink then blot it where you want.
There are so many other colors of ink and they are actually quite affordable. I purchased these two ink pads at Hobby Lobby for $2.99 each, granted that was half off but if you have a Hobby Lobby in your area then you know they regularly put items half of. You can also purchase them on Hobby Lobby's website as well as Ebay and other craft stores.
If you use them too then let me know what you do with them or even link up here. I would love to see what you can do with Ink!! Take my button with you to let everyone know where you are Distressing Out!
