What a brilliant idea! So my girls and I grabbed all the "old" t-shirts we could find and went to work. We made quite a few gowns to donate to the local Newborns in Need chapter.<br />
<br />
Here are pics of what we made<br />

One is from<a href="http://jeanneoliverdesigns.com/blog/"> Jeanne Oliver </a>called <a href="http://www.jeanneoliverdesigns.com/item_142/Creatively-Made-E-Course.htm">Creatively Made</a>. It is a wonderful exploration of the world of mixed media. I adore fold art and I love Mixed Media even more! I put my artistic side away many years ago and realized I need to get it back. I strongly suggest you take a look at the course. You will fall in love!<br />

I used the Big Shots Top Note to cut out the shape, painted the edges, it is hard to see but I used a chocolate brown flower stamp to stamp the background. I added a scrap of fabric in the middle. I put it on so the edges stuck up a bit. I cut out 3 smaller tags for the "Just For You".<br />
I also added a Yo Yo Flower and a bead. It is attached to a brown lunch bag that holds some yummy goodies for Big C's teacher.<br />

I realized in the past few months my creativity has disappeared, completely gone. I own a screenprinting and embroidery company. I have to use creativity to make my business stand out from all the others. But it was just gone. As I was Pinterest I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.christytomlinson.typepad.com/">Christy Tomlinson's blog</a>, then I found<a href="http://jeanneoliverdesigns.com/"> Jeanne Oliver's workshop</a> and decided to jump in.<br />
<br />
Week one of Creatively made has been wonderful! I will share my pictures on here and hopefully get my creative juices flowing again!!<br />
<br />
