Scrappin' Saturday XIII

Welcome to Scrappin' Saturday - take a peek into the pages of my scrapbooks, and learn how I made them.

Paper: A sheet of purple paper. I think it came in a pack with a scrapbook.
Photos: For the photos of things in frames, I cropped as close to the frame as possible. I did the same thing for the coaster pictures. The remaining photo was simply cropped as small as possible.
Die Cuts: I used all three of the dies in the Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio.
Projects Pictured: Quilled Coasters, Quilled Woven Heart Border, the Quilled Herb Sampler and Woven Heart Border are both on this page: Quilling.

Dishcloth #1

A few months ago, I decided to go through all of my Creative Knitting issues, and knit all of the dishcloths in them. So far I've only knit one, and I have three knitting projects to finish before starting another one.

The pattern is from the January 2007 issue of Creative Knitting, page 66, "Dish Pan Bubbles" The dishcloth is knit using two colors of yarn. I used Sugar'n Cream yarn in Weathered Rose and Country Red.
I had a lot of fun doing the faux popcorn stitch - I've always liked the look, but have never felt motivated to figure out how to crochet it.
The next dishcloth will be from the March 2007 issue, page 66, "Mock Cable Dishcloth" (link goes to the Ravelry page for this pattern.)

Scrappin' Saturday XII

Welcome to Scrappin' Saturday - take a peek into the pages of my scrapbooks, and learn how I made them.

This is another page of knitted projects.
Background Paper: "Purple Sponged" by Paper Pizazz. This paper is probably discontinued, but here's the code for it. HOTP-20070
Photos: The oval picture was cropped using Creative Memories Custom Cutting System. The picture of the teddy bear was cropped using Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Two. The remaining photos were cropped square to the size I wanted, then I used a corner rounder on them.
Die Cuts: The die cuts (journals) were cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels One. I also used Sizzix Tags, Scallop Combo #2. It appears to be discontinued - I can't even find it on the Sizzix website.
Other: I used some yarn I had on hand to make little tassels for the tags.
Projects Pictured: Kelly's Sweater, Spa Set, Sushi, and Luke's Teddy.
