Awkward Tiles and Trees

Glass tile magnets with SU DP...


Little J made me crack up when she could not think of "Edward" and she spitted out "Awkward" instead. LOL! These little gems are anything but awkward they are fun to make the girls have laid claim on all of the Eclipse goodies.

Eclipse Necklaces...


Eclipse magnets...


My best guess is we lost a quarter of the big tree outback the day after a windstorm hit the area. We are truly blessed as you can see by the view here out our back door the tree missed our house and the neighbors by inches. It did take out DH's smoker that was sitting on the patio.

Dollar Tree Frame

My Sister brought over some goodies awhile back and I have been wanting to get after this frame. Our DD painted her room purple and Lime green, her curtains are purple, green and teal immediately the Beautiful blooms 2 DP came to mind and in no time I had altered the frame.



I used the leftover wall paint on the frame, because the frame is plastic it was easy to get the brush strokes to show this look is wonderful.

Friendship Jar Black Eye Susans




I loved this set from PTI's June release and purchased it with some bday cash. Thanks Dad and Jan;) I was told at the nursery this spring that the Black Eye Susan is known as a noxious weed here in SD and that it would work well in a pot for the trellis. So far it has not grown much off the stakes I have my fingers crossed that it will go when the weather heats up.

Cricut, Copic Airbrush, Cut T-Shirt?


What, am I up to now?

I was in a real creative mood today and have been wanting to work on a Copic Airbrush T. I took it a bit further and Cut it when Little J exclaimed, "It is too big"! This makes for a very creative long post, if you have questions you can email me at paschal.sara@gmail.com or leave a question in the comment section.

So here is what I did...

1) Launder the t
2) Place cardboard inside of T so ink won't bleed to the back
3) Cut your vinyl on the cricut (I used the Dog from Everyday Paper dolls at 6") You can also Substitute Freezer paper
4) Center your negative cut onto the t
5) Airbrush the Image with Copics and the Copic airbrush (Yes, Copic Markers can be used on Fabric)


6) Pull off the negative image
7) Line up the Positive Vinyl image on the T
8) Draw in your cut lines with a fabric Sharpie
9) Remove the Positive Cut

10) Embellish the image (here I used a large gem and two small for a collar)

Okay, little J loved her new shirt but it was large so I took a trip back to the 80's and cut it up. Here is how I did it, there are many ways and many different ideas on how this is done but for my Little one I kept it simple and did not show skin.

1) Lay the T out flat
2) Cut off the bottom hem, stretch the bottom
3) Cut 2" wide strip off of the bottom set aside for later
4) Cut up both sides to 1" below the arm pit area and stretch your cuts
5) Start on one side cut 4 slashes on front and back make sure to them line up as close as possible. (I fold over then cut on the fold. Also this is a child's T so I cut four slashes on an adult T I would do more.)
6) Stretch your bottom band and cut in half
7) Take one half and start threading your slashes like a shoe working from the arm pit area to the bottom of the T
8) Tie your ends together in a knot to secure
9) Repeat on other side

Here is a you Tube Video showing you some of the cutting, slashing and more advanced options...

Bird Watching

It is a total RIOT in our front yard now, only one Chickadee is allowed to feed on the teacup at a time. Lol! If another approaches the one eating starts to scream and flap the wings causing the other to fight or just fly off. They are on a second bag of food in as many weeks, talk about piggish! So far it is mostly Chickadees, a couple Robins and a pair of Mourning Doves we are hopeful of seeing some Hummingbirds and butterflies as the flowers develop.



I am not happy about the way the sentiment looks now that I see the Pic, it totally is not anchored to the card going to have to go back and rethink this part of the creation.

Product list...
PTI card stock, DP and bird watching stamp set
SU punches
