I’m super excited to show all of you the charms and spell book I made for a charm swap over at Life on the Scrapbeach!  Right from the start I knew I wanted to do a spell book as the display for my charms and I wanted the spell book to look really old.  It was Tim Holtz distressing ink and a paper lunch bag to the rescue!

 

Ten years ago today I married the love of my life!  It’s been the best 10 years of my life and I couldn’t imagine my life without him.  He’s been there through the good and the bad and has backed me up on my decisions.  He is my rock!  Happy anniversary hubby.  I love you!

This week was my hubby’s birthday.  I have such a hard time with masculine cards.  I love to create cute crafty projects and glitz them up.  Cannot do that with a masculine card.  I just bough some Bo Bunny paper so I was excited to give the paper line a try.  I used the Welcome Home Collection.  These papers worked well in my masculine card.  I kept the lines clean and simple and I resisted the temptation to glitz it up.  I inked up all the edges with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distresser ink.  I cannot say enough how much inking the edges makes to a project look better.  The sentiment on the front of the card is just something I typed up on my laptop and printed on cream cardstock.  I’m very pleased with how it turned out.

Supplies:

  • Designer Paper:  Bo Bunny, Welcome Home Collection
  • Die:  Nestabilities, Lacey Squares
  • Cardstock: Dark chocolate & cream
  • Button & embossing thread
  • Ribbon:  Martha Stewart decorative tape
  • Sentiment on inside of card:  My Favorite Things, Fresh, fun and distinctive clear stamps
  • Adhesives:  ATG & dimensional
  • Ink:  Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distresser, Black Stayz On

I cannot believe another school year is over.  Time is really flying by soooo fast.  Thought I would share with you a card I made for a recent graduate in our family.  I decided to do a card old-school style and didn’t use a Cricut.  Rather, I used my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities and fussy cut the graduation cap from the paper stack.   The paper is DCWV.

.  I love the black, white, and silver colors!

 

Hi everyone!  I’m super excited because my first shipment of I Am Roses came in.  OMG are they beautiful!! I’m definitely putting in another order very soon and I know I’m going to be going thru these flowers like crazy.  I just want to put them on everything.  In fact, I just had to put them on my MTF WSC #70 submission.  Here is the sketch we had to follow.

Here is my card.

Here is a video of my I am Roses Haul and the card.  Enjoy!

Happy New Year all my crafty friends!  Welcome to 2012.  Today is also my daughter’s birthday — yup, she was a New Years baby 15 years ago.  My how time flies!  Here is the card I made for her.  She loves to snowboard and we live just 15 minutes from a ski resort.  I picked up some Goosebumps the other day at M’s and really wanted to give it a try.  That stuff is neat (but very messy).  Enjoy!

Can you see the Goosebumps on the green matt

Thought I would do one last tag holder for Christmas.  This one is done with the Penguin from Create a Critter with a Peachy Keen face stamp.  I am entering this one in Cardz TV Challenge #98.  Enjoy!

Here are the supplies.

Cartridges used:  Tags, Bags, Boxes & More and Create a Critter

 

Here is the first tag holder I made last week.

Wow, it’s Christmas Eve already!  I hope all of you are ready for the big day tomorrow.  I just tucked my girls into bed and I still have presents to wrap.  I did manage to squeeze in another Christmas card today.  My Scrap Chick recently had this freebie Elf on a Shelf cut available.  I thought it was sooo cute and I knew of the perfect Peachy Keen face to go with it.  I also wanted to give quilling a try so I created the flower on the card using Cricut’s quilliing die in my Cuttlebug. I also used Spellbinders Die Nestabilities Squares Lacey.  I’m entering this card into Peachy Keen’s Sketch with a Twist Challenge.  The challenge was very simple.  We could create anything we want but we had to use a Peachy Keen stamp.

Merry Christmas !
