Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 08:30AM My life is about to take a turn for the better! This site will be changing in the coming weeks. I can't wait to share my news...all I will say is that this website will now have LOTS more content being added to it. Here's to a new year!
Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 10:55AM Now that my scrapping space is set up and organized, I feel like I can finally get back to creating! I am working on a lot of gifts for people which has kept me busy. I did find some time to create a layout for this week's Scrapping the Music. I used a picture of my daughter taken with my fabulous new camera I received for Christmas! I chose the line "Beauty Queen" from the song and used a picture of my daughter in her dress up clothes!
The DSP, stickers, and some of the ribbon and buttons are from last year's Stampin' Up Saleabration set. For the title I took white cardstock letter stickers and sprayed them with my new Smooch spray. I also got to use one of my new mini-library clips. It felt great to scrap again after I had been doing so much card making. I am looking forward to getting lots done at the end of the month when I am attending my first scrapbooking retreat! :)
Friday, December 2, 2011 at 08:38AM Here is a card I created utilizing some fabric. I took advantage of Stampin' Up's online sale a few weeks ago and picked some fabric off for 60% the original price. I want to learn more exciting ways to incorporate fabric in my paper crafting, but for now this will have to do:
Materials are all from Stampin' Up include: Garden Green, Real Red, and Whisper White Cardstock, Sparkly and Bright Stamp Set (retired), Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Fabric, 1/2 " Seam Binding Ribbon Real Red (retired), Antique Brad, and Early Expresso Ink. I did use a scallop punch and a bit of red Stickles for Rudolph's nose.
Friday, December 2, 2011 at 08:28AM Here is another card I designed:
All materials here are from Stampin' Up: Cardstock in Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White, and Melon Mambo, 1 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon in Melon Mambo, Circle Treat cups filled with Mica Flakes, and the Sweet Snowglobe and Pennant Parade Stamp set.
Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 08:24PM It has been awhile since I have blogged, but I have been creating a lot recently. My goal was to have all my Christmas cards done before December, and unless my list has grown significantly since last year I have achieved this goal. I have created several different cards and I thought I would use my blog as a way to share my creations, some of my own design and others I have taken classes to create.
So for December 1st, here is a card I designed:
First I should explain the backdrop...I thought the card would look cute nestled in the Christmas Village I put up each year.
I used the following supplies: Very Vanilla and Marina Mist cardstock, Sparkly and Bright Stamp Set (retired), 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Marina Mist all from Stampin' Up, Rhinestones, glittered embossing powder, and corner rounder.
