She's Baaack!  Misha the craft diva is back in the game of crafting!  I've taken a break over the last year due to numerous factors that have kept me from intentional focus on crafting.  I'm still working on my doctoral degree, working full-time, taking care of my grand kids etc.... But in the spirit of a new year - new beginning, I'm dedicating some time each week to focus on some type of creating. So this week I want to showcase a crafting tote that I made for a scrapbooking retreat I attended.  As I was organizing my supplies I realized that my storage options were old, dirty and boring! So I went through my fabric stash and created this super cute tote complete with vinyl pockets outside and lots of storage pockets inside!  Here is what I ended up with - of course it's packed with goodies from Stampin Up!  It's big enough to hold 12x12 paper pads, paper trimmer, stamps and an assortment of embellishments and tools.  I had such great feedback on a Facebook post that I decided to make a few extras to post in my Etsy shop (Mishathecraftdiva)

The bag measures a whopping 16 inches wide, 7 inches tall and 9 inches deep - defiantly enough space to hold anything you can imagine - and not necessarily crafting supplies!  This would make a cute teacher bag, diaper & wipes carrier, grocery tote etc....the possibilities are endless!

Love you to Pieces!

I LOVE this stamp set from Stamping' Up!  Love you to pieces is so versatile I've made birthday cards, anniversary cards and now these super cute valentines day cards.  This is a stamp set that has endless possibilities!

Love You to Pieces

I also had a chance to play around with one of my favorite stamps sets from the holiday occasions catalog.  Yes, I know I'm late to the party but it's never too late to play with a gorgeous stamp set!  I decided to do a little Rae Dunn inspired card using the Country Home set from Stamping' Up!

I know I've been MIA over the last few months - to be honest, the blog was put on the "back burner" over the summer - just too much going on.  I hope to get a bi-monthly cadence back, especially over the holiday season.  I have delved into a new crafting obsession - sewing!

I have a friend that is having a little girl in a few weeks and wanted to make something special for her.  She is not into the traditional "baby girl" decor so I wanted to pick some fabric that is bold but still girly.  I made 3 burp cloths and backed them with terrycloth material, the changing pad uses the coral fabric and is backed with a cute vinyl cloth. I also made a coordinating fabric bin that not only holds the gifts but is functional as well.

I'm SUPER excited! Today is launch day for the 2018 Stampin' Up! Catalog - WOOHOO!  There are so many new stamp sets and of course our color revamp (see previous blog post) now available to YOU!  

One of my favorite suites in this catalog is Broadway Bound. I love the vibrant colors in the DSP and the bold stamps..and look at the coordinating die set.  Love the WISH die cut!
To add to the excitement of a new catalog, Stampin' Up! is making it even better......June's Paper Pumpkin kit coordinates with the Broadway Bound Bundle!
