Good morning everyone! Are you ready to see some beautiful projects made with Crafty Secrets new products? Today I have two projects to share with you, so that means lots of pictures. Both projects were made using the new Creating with Vintage Patterns CD available from Crafty Secrets, just put your paper in and print... it's that simple. I also used some of the new Mini Vintage Creative Scraps, and a new stamp set.
I have tweaked my back, and sitting here is a little painful so again this is going to be another short post.
I have a tutorial to share with you today, but it's not a technique. It's something I learned while at the fabric store, and had no idea until the lady cutting my material showed me. I'm sure most of you already know this, but for some (myself included), it was totally new.
Be sure and visit the rest of the Crafty Secrets Design Team members listed below, they have some beautiful projects to share with you today.

Project Two:
My DH is a Golfer, and a good one at that, he just won a Bronze metal at the Fireman Olympics in NewPort Beach last week. This project is a little Golf tin that can hold all of his tee's, ball markers etc that collects on the top of our dresser lol, It's not as dark in real life, as it is in the pictures, but it's the best I could get them to look.
How to cut burlap.
Decide how wide you want your fabric to be, and pull up a loop.
Start pulling, and continue until you pull the thread completely out.
Can you see where the thread was.
Different angle.
Start cutting in the blank space. Your burlap will be even, plus the edge of your remaining fabric will be even as well.
Now I have a piece of burlap the width I need, and the string can be used to thread my buttons for my project.

Beautiful card. I really like the Golf Tin. It didn't look too dark - it's perfect. I am definitely going to use your burlap idea. Thanks for sharing.
