Crafting with Mom


Every year in December my Mom and I plan a day together.  Usually we go shopping somewhere quaint.  This past December I planned a day of crafting.  Especially when I saw these amazing kits on Little Pink Studio.   They are made from an old book and included were lots of little vintage trinkets and ephemera. 

I was immediately attracted to the Joan Walsh Anglund image on the little book which Ceri of Little Pink Studio used to make these kits


I also ordered a few other little things like the sheets of Christmas buttons.



This little place card is an example of the darling vintage finds in the kits. 

I used some spare Christmas scrapbooking papers and ribbons to make my first page of the book.  I am planning on adding pages when the urge strikes.  I want to incorporate copies of family Christmas pictures too.  My problem is that my stitching urge is stronger than my stamping/scrapping urge at this time.  

I pulled out my stitching while Mom kept on crafting.






She made some darling cards!!!!!!!!!  What a great day it was!  Thanks Mom!!!

How sweet to have a craft day with your mom! I think it's funny that she was on point and you had "stitchers ADD". I have that kind of ADD all the time! Love the cards she made. They are pretty and those kits look like they could be fun.

What a special day and the cards are so sweet. I'm have a special craft day with my bf tomorrow. Crazy quilt ditty bags are on the agenda. Wish me luck! :)
