Hi Everyone!  I’m so excited to be the last stop on my blog tour for my new Game Day fabric collection from Riley Blake!  I hope you’ve enjoyed the other stops on this tour!   If you haven’t had a chance to see the other posts, here is a list of the participants:

A lot of people tell me it can be difficult to find great masculine fabric. Hopefully you fall in love with Game Day just as much as I have. Game Day is the collection to make projects for boys of all ages. This collection is filled with all sorts of sports imagery, game plays, numbers, game tickets, and stripes.

I really love the colors in this collection. They really work well together to create projects that pop. How fun is this simple baby quilt showcasing all the fabrics?!

Here is a link to the storyboard so you can take a closer look at all the awesome patterns included in this collection.

If you have not had the chance, be sure to go back and check out the inspiring projects from the other Blog Tour participants (list at top of this post)! Feel free to follow us on Facebook and post your creations using Game Day there.

Have a great day!


Happy Day Fabric by Lori Whitlock

 

Hi Everyone! I’m so excited to be the next stop on my blog tour for my new Happy Day fabric collection from Riley Blake! As you know, my work is typically whimsical, fun, and cheerful. This fabric is no exception! This collection is made up of a gorgeous floral, whimsical butterflies, kites, sunshine and lemonade. I simply love this collection, as it reminds me of spring and summer, my favorite seasons!

This fabric collection was inspired by my paper collection that is available in craft stores called Happy Summer. So, if you’re looking for coordinating paper you’re in luck!

Here’s a sweet baby quilt using the Happy Day fabric.

Here is a link to the storyboard so you can take a closer look at all the gorgeous patterns included in this collection.

I hope you have fun working with Happy Day! It was a fun collection to design and I would love to see what you all create.

Treat Boxes by Christine, bag by Natalie and a Guest Post by Linda Vergottini

Today Christine is sharing her talents and gifts with us, quite literally actually, I am so excited to share them with you. Christine says…
 
I have a thing for treat boxes.  I just love making and giving them.  I love how one simple cut file can be a Valentine treat holder one minute and a Mother’s Day gift bag the next.  It all depends on the paper and embellishments that you use. So when this file, Treat Box with Handle, was put in the store, I knew it would be one that I could use over and over again.
The other thing that I want to mention about this cute little treat box is that it is all one piece that fits nicely on a 12×12 piece of paper.  All of the score lines are there and the only adhesive you need to put it together is a strip on the side seam.  The rest of the box is held together with flaps and tucks which makes it very easy and fast to put together.  It literally took longer to cut the file than it did for me to assemble it.  That is fast!!
To create my boxes, I used the Love Story Collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  It is one of the most amazing paper collections that I have ever used and definitely my favorite Valentine themed line ever.  The stickers that you see are from that collection as well.

Natalie has this adorable bag that she created for her daughter as a scripture bag. I LOVE this and think Lori’s fabric makes it even more fabulous.
Hello everyone, today we have a break in the paper crafting to share with you a little bag I made for my daughter’s birthday.  She turned 8 this last week, and from her grandpa she received a set of scriptures for church.  Since I knew these were coming, I decided to make a bag for her to put them in.  I was in my local craft store and spotted Lori Whitlock’s Hello Sunshine collection in fabric from Riley Blake, and since it was to darling to pass up, I grabbed it and came home and went to work.
I pinned this pattern from Pinterest a while back, and actually made ballet bags for both of my girls with it to hold their shoes to take to class.  It was simple and perfect size I made it again for this bag. I did actually make the bottom a little more narrow than the pattern called for so it would fit her scriptures better.  Since it needed a little dressing up, I added the flower to make it a little more frilly, just like my daughter is.  Lets just say she was thrilled with it, and can’t wait to take them to church with her.

 

 

Today I also have a guest designer to share with you. Her name is Linda Vergottini. She used Lori’s 1 drawer box to make this adorable mini album. Thank you for sharing with us, this is so beautiful and clever!
