One of the favorite projects of Girls World is this amazing tulle layover apron on your child’s favorite dress. You all have had such fun with this and you keep us in awe of your concepts. This is literally fuel for your passions, I see so many applications for this wonderful jewel of an idea. I just love looking at it!! Take the ribbon up higher make ribbon bows or flowers!! We are loving you today and everyday. You are like a cup of coffee to savor. xo
LOVING our Fridays!!! What a treat to have our girl, Jessica of LOVE COLORFUL all up in hurr on the Sis Boom blog! Take it away, Jessica! Pssssst… Jessica’s beautiful wedding was just featured in Mingle Magazine— you HAVE to check it out. WOWZA!
Hey there! Ok, I know you’ve seen a bunch of trees up on here, but hey, they are just so darn easy and fun to make I can’t help myself! Using Sis Boom Clip Art we’ve already made a Sequin Flower Tree and a Striped Heart Tree, but this week we’re going with a Glitter Scallop Tree!
As you probably have guessed by now, we’re using the Glitter Textures Clip Art (yup! the same ones we used for the Happy Home Banner, except this time we’re using the smaller, original sizes!)
Since we’ve been through this quite a few times, I think we can get by with just a few pictures – sound good? Simply print your clip art on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper (either plain white paper & glue or you can use sticker backed sheets to help the squares stick to each other)
All you’ll really need is a tiny bit of patience!
and I’ll get back to you!!!!!!
PPSSSSSTTTT, don’t tell anyone but get your watercolors out when you are done!!

Hey Ladies and Gents I’m working on some fun Halloween favors and stuff so the next post will be all about that. So I need to give a quick shout out for Girls World because the Holidays are coming and you definitely want to have it on your wish list. There are a couple of craft projects in Girls World that I just love. The first is the headpiece that has soooo many different applications, think black roses and spider webs for Halloween and get your spooky on!!!! The second is the Badge of Honor can say anything you would like it to say..How about Trick or Treat and use black glitter..I tell you endless possibilities. Oh and I just thought of a third, yup, A Happy Halloween Banner like the one in Girls World done with black felt and white letters?? Are you with me??? Please show us what you create, we get the biggest kick out of your creations!!
Recoloring, rethinking, but this one was spot on!! A heart for all of you because that’s what I’m feeling!! It’s cold here and I am hunkered down sewing sequins and ensuring that Happy Land is everything you guys love in this world. I am pumped for this incredible New Year. Stop by often, remember to play and always stay true to you!

A bit of sequin sparkle
Let these images represent inspiration for you to create and we love a hollaback if you saw it here first. Sis Boom loves to be original and loves to give credit to all of our creative peeps with new and fascinating ideas. It’s what we are known for..in otherwords we share that pie. love you guys, get that creative thinking cap on and dive right in. I purchase so much at garage sales and flea markets but ebay and etsy make it real easy to keep warm in the winter. Hope black friday is enjoyable!! xo
Lucky for you I have more to share..OK so you know the merit badges in Girls World well they make an incredible ornament..(my idea)..Just sayin..seriously why not???? Grab the book make copies of Vintage wrapping paper,the cards we got as kids (some of us) or old books or antique ephemera and start having a ball. Folks been asking try Ebay and Etsy under vintage ephemera!!!! Add tassels and personalize who doesn’t love an ornament specifically crafted towards themselves..No Brainer..I also use bits of old ornaments to create new ones and you can see glittered die cuts and beautiful seambinding ribbon make the world go round.Thanks for all your responses makes me want to give you more and more Sis Boom Love. Questions?? We answer them. Girls World is the best Holiday gift going and when you purchase from us you get a signed copy (worth lots of money some day) and we carefully wrap it in a piece of wonderful Sis Boom fabric to get you started making some George the Puppies. I tell you Amazon for gently used books is quite the price and I can’t compete. That book if I do say so myself is chocked full. Get your Holiday on..oh and yes indeedy I am watching.
Say I Love You with a sweet Forget Me Not Bouquet. Paired with silky seam binding and velvet on a floral heart, this one’s packed with love and tenderness.
Dangle a precious collection like this from a powder room mirror, a doorknob… how about as sweet little cake toppers?! Or cupcake toppers?! (you know you just got excited!!!!)
How? When you’re gluing your heart backing on, sneak a super thin piece of wire, or even a toothpick between the layers, apply your glue, and press together! Totally, cute, eh?
To make a dangling heart, place a piece of seambinding ribbon between two hearts, glue them together & add your posy with a thin piece of velvet. voila!!!
The possibilities are limitless… these little Valentine traditions will look awesome anywhere that calls for a little touch of love. Sigh. So sweet!
Well, here’s the deal… we had every intention of waiting until the 1st of February do kick of the Sis Boom Month of L-O-V-E… but we just couldn’t do it! We’re BURSTING at the seams with LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! Love for you, Love for our families, Love for our friends… basically love is flying in every direction and we can no longer contain it!
Here is a colorful, happy, trinket that is just FULL of love! It’s being posted today, before the start of February, to show just how serious we are about the love thang.
And another version…
And some more.. it’s no coincidence that a Barbara Strawser painting is peeking from behind … we’re SO full of LOVE for Barbara!! (is all this Love talk making you sick already?! Well, Get ready for a month full of it 😉 )
