Some artwork...

Before the storm kicked in I had some time to finish up a journal and card for a friend whose birthday was yesterday.



I think it turned out nice!



Her name starts with a "C" so that's why I used that Scrabble letter. I wanted it to close so it served as the clasp.

Here's a view from the back...



Sorry that the photos aren't the usual. I had to take them outside since the power was out.

Here's her card...





Hope you have a great weekend!

Tote-ally Cool

First, I'd like to apologize for the quality of the pictures in this post. I was in a bit of a hurry, and the room was dark, and I'm an amateur, etc. etc.! But, I wanted to show you the beach tote I made for a friend who's getting married soon!

Since she loves France, I tried to find a fabric that reminded me of that. Amy Butler's Love fabric line spoke French to me!



I decided to make the tote simple and functional. Basically, the bride can take it on her honeymoon and carry her sunscreen and towels.



The tote is different on each side! I love doing that for some reason. I think it makes it seem like two bags in one!

I also added gussets on the sides because I think it helps to give the bag shape.



Have a great weekend. You know what we'll be doing! Yes...biking!
