Twinery & Scor-pal blog hop... an ice cream greeting.

hi there and welcome! I'm so happy you could join us for the 1st anniversary celebration blog hop with The Twinery & Scor-pal.

          

If you're stopping her by way of Scrapping with Lisa you're on the right track. If not, make sure you start at the beginning over at the twinery's blog because there are terrific prizes for those who complete the hop by commenting on each blog.

You'll have five days to browse and enjoy the hop..
so take your time & have fun!


Lately i've had ice cream on my mind.. earlier this month we indulged and bought an ice cream maker.. and it has been pretty amazing.. and as i ate my way through coming up with a project for scor-pal and the twinery.. it became all too obvious. I'd make kraft paper waffle cones!


but not just any waffle cones.. ones with sweet greetings inside..


Using the Scor-Pal, I scored kraft paper to mimic a waffle cone texture and wrapped them into cones.  Next, I stitched small fabric spheres for the ice cream, stuffed with polyfil and attached a piece of twinery twine to the ice cream scoops. I glued my messages onto the twine and embellished with beads and felt balls to weigh the message down.
 
AND what a sweet surprise!
 
there you have it.. an adorable greeting. i'm seeing an ice cream party in the near future with these as invitations.. yummy!


I'm so glad you all stopped by and hope you enjoy the rest of the hop! Working with the scor-pal was so fun.. who knew such fun tool exisited? If you enjoy working with paper.. it's a must!
And I hope I've inspired you to give the twinery baker's twine a try! Be sure the check out other things I've used twine for.. twinery projects.

As part of the hop.. the twinery and scor-pal will be giving away great prizes!

a snack for the easter bunny.

we've been talking about the easter bunny and admiring pastel colored eggs hanging from trees around the neighborhood. Cyra's beyond excited about the easter bunny's arrival.. and insisted this year.. we leave him a little snack.

I used my felt carrot tutorial and whipped up a few carrots.. all hung with beautiful twinery honeydew twine on our front door.. which can't be missed.
  



see you soon easter bunny!

"crafty moms have toys all sewn up"

i was interviewed a couple months ago by the associated press for an article they were writing about mother's making felt food... it was really exciting to see the article released today! 

I've found the article on a handful sites and the photos .. ABC News, ABC News, The Canadian Press, Miami Herald, saukvalley.com, startribune.com, wral.com , Times and Transcript, The Connecticut Post and the Sun Sentinel
