PMS Challenge

A dear friend of mine, Katie Cotton, owns a fabulous stamp company called Paper Makeup Stamps. She and her team design gorgeous fairies, cute monsters and beautiful word art. PMS just celebrated their first year anniversary and is partying all month long. As part of the celebration, Katie is issuing various challenges during the month. This is for an opportunity to win a $25 gift certificate. How cool is that? All I had to do was use one of my favorite fairy stamps.

This little card was made for one of my best friends as she is going through a bit of a difficult time right now. She's a new mom and could use a little pick me up. This fairy is called A Fairy for Kayleigh. PMS has created several stamps in order to help raise funds for certain families or charities. You can read about about little Kayleigh's story here. It is quite touching and really makes you think about the little ones that struggle to survive.

Anyway, just a little bit of details today about how I created this card. I'm still developing my skills on using the Copic markers which is why some of the blending kind of didn't work out. But, it's all part of being handmade right?! LOL

Paper: Bazzill, My Mind's Eye - Lucky Me - Hello World, Neenah / Pearls: Kaiser Craft - Off White / Misc Flower Ribbon / Copic Markers - E00 & E21, E27 & E29 & E47, RV21 & RV23 & RV25, B000 & B01

Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

Fun with Artist Trading Cards!

Hello again! Things have been crazy as always and I've neglected my poor blog. Just wanted to share a little ATC project with you today. These were made for a swap in Fancy Paper Crafters . The swap theme was Spring ATCs. I love all the flowers and butterflies that come out in spring so naturally, this is what I was going to do for my ATC. With the designer paper that I chose, I had so many color options! I looked through my cardstock to see what I had in my stash (I'm on a mission to use my stash rather buy anything!) that would match and came up with this coral/pinky color. I used a Stampin Up punch for the butterfly. The flower center is a simple jeweled brad by Recollections. The jewels on the butterfly are by Nicole's Design (I think!). I couldn't find my flower punches so I used my spellbinder dies and embossed them. Pretty easy peasy right :). Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a crafty day!

Scrapbooking Project

Hey y'all! Sharing a scrapbook page with ya today (thought it would be good to mix up this blog a little instead of always doing cards!). When my oldest niece, Alex, graduated high school, I made a HUGE scrapbook of her life (birth to graduation). Well, I had so much fun with it and saw how much happiness it brought to her, I decided to do the same for my nephew, Austin, who graduated in the summer of 2013. This is one of my favorite layouts from his completed album. The completed album had right around 40 pages total. This was a challenge for me as I wasn't used to scrapbooking "boy" themed pages (we only have dogs and they've all been female). I wanted to use only one picture on this scrapbook page as I felt the photo deserved to be the sole focus on the page. I don't remember the name of the designer paper I used but I know all the cardstock is by Bazzill. I used my printer to type up the journaling (my handwriting is terrible so I always print when
