May 2012 Sketch Blog Challenge

Hello again! Thanks for stopping by today :). I have just a couple of cards to share with you using this month's sketch by Shannon White at http://scraplady324.blogspot.com/. Shannon has created yet another fabulous sketch for us this month:


I decided that I was going to do cards this month using her sketch instead of the standard scrapbook layout. After I finished my first card, I really wanted to try it again on another card so a second one was "born"! So, without further ado, here are my two creations:

This first card used a set of my favorite color combos - teal and burnt orange. There really isn't much to the details of this little card. The designer paper came from my stash of scraps so I'm afraid I don't recall the manufacturer's name. The cardstock is by Coredination and my card base is standard white cardstock by The Paper Studio. If you know my style, you know I can't have a project without a touch of bling LOL. This time the bling is from a set made by Recollections that I purchased at our local Michael's store. It's actually meant to be for a corner and all I did was cut it up for my use. It was small so it was perfect for my card! I used my Creative Memories corner rounder and circle cutter. My sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkadoo and is part of the Expressions & Frames set. I used my Momento ink to stamp the sentiment. I used Baja Breeze ink by Stampin' Up! to accent around my sentiment and card top. On the back of my sentiment I used pop dots to give it a little dimension.

My second card for this sketch used another set of my fav color combos - pink and brown. The polkadot designer paper is by Making Memories and is part of the Paper Reverie collection. This one is the Brown Antique Rose Stripe. The criss cross paper is part of the Lush collection and is the Brown Houndstooth paper. The pink patterned paper is by Basic Grey and is called Pink Fizz. I just LOVE Basic Grey - too bad no local scrapbook stores carry it! The other pink paper is by Coredination. I used a Marth Stewart border punch on the strip across the top. The stamp is part of a little set by the Studio G Series 64 set. I used Chocolate Chip ink by Stampin' Up! And to top it off, I have my bling accents. The swirl is by Recollections. The little pearls on the left are part of a variety pack by Queen & Company.

Well, that's it for today! I hope you've enjoyed seeing my little projects. Have a craftastic day!

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
