Graphic 45 card with SRM sticker

Here is a quick and easy cards using Graphic 45 papers and a SRM sentiment sticker. Other extras are Martha Stewart punches and Creatively Green cardstock. Lots to do today, so this post is short and sweet!

My Mind's Eye Breaking Free

At a recent crop in my goodie bag I received 3 identical packages of some EK Success stickers that included this couple. I thought they went perfectly with the My Mind's Eye Breaking Free product I had just received in a Cards goodie box. I was happy with the way both of them turned out! Extras include some Creatively Green cardstock, Kaisercraft pearls, Cosmo Cricket ABC stickers, Queen and Co jewels and American Crafts sentiment sticker.

Some Rejects

Here are a few cards I made for some recent calls. They didn't get the love, so now I am sharing them with you. This first card uses papers from That Scrappy Girl's November kit featuring the Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg collection. The cardstock is from Creatively Green. Sorry about the cheesy pun!

This card uses Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird collection. The cork teapot (came in a package of 3 I think) was from the $1 spot either at Target or Michael's. I'm such a sucker for the $1 areas!

This card was made using the October Afternoon Road Map collection also available at That Scrappy Girl. Lately I've noticed I'm going thru a phase of having my elements hang over the edge of my cards. I am such a rebel!

This last card I made uses Kaisercraft's Loire Valley collection. Rubon is from Basic Grey. I also made an Anniversary card out of the same line, but have somehow managed to misplace it. I can't imagine losing anything in my craft pit, I mean room? (insert sarcasm)

Challenge Alert! There is also a "Love" challenge going on over at That Scrappy Girl. You can win some Elle's Studio or Maya Road goodies. The winners will be announced on February 24th.

Creatively Green Creations

These first two cards were made with the Kaleidoscope Kreator 3 program - the January sponsor at Creatively Green. I uploaded a picture of the kids in their Christmas clothes and one of Emma at preschool graduation and used different kaleidoscope features to make the "embellishments." It was super easy to use. Believe me, I can be tech challenged sometimes and if I can use it, anyone can! Also another "green" tidbit, I used the packaging on the Jenni Bowlin bingo cards for my congrats card.

Here is another card I made with Creatively Green's cardstock and Jillibean Soup papers. I used my Martha Stewart punch to make the border.

Eco Friendly Holiday Project - Creatively Green

Here is a Christmas vase I made for today's post on the Creatively Green blog. I used a plastic chip container, Making Memories Mistletoe paper and sticker, and some braided ribbon. It was a very quick and easy project - I used glue dots to attach the paper to the plastic and a glue gun to adhere the ribbon.

Be sure to keep stopping by the Creatively Green blog each day until Christmas as there are daily giveways and a lot of great projects!

The Scrappy Shack is Moxie Fab!

I thought the Doodlebug Christmas pack would be perfect for the different Christmas Card Challenges going on over at the Moxie Fab blog. Last week I received a variety of die cuts from The Scrappy Shack including these gorgeous Holiday Frames (available in any color and size) that I thought they also went pefectly with this line. The little brown clay Rudolph is from Creatively Green's Reindeer Fun Trio that I received as one of my prizes last month from ScrapNWin. I'm terrible at categorizing my creations - I would say they all fall under Fun and Cute, the Reindeer card has a hint of Classy and Elegant/Clean and Graphic and even the presents card has a bit of Clean and Graphic too? Help!

P.S. Don't forget about the die cut giveaway over at The Scrappy Shack :-)

Christmas in August courtesy of Scrap N Win, ShopMyKI and Creatively Green!

Last month at Scrap N Win, one of my cards placed 2nd in their contest! My prize arrived the other day and so I sat down last night to create. The cute tree is from Creatively Green (Clay Artz-Themed Trios-Reindeer Fun) and the Happy Bingo Card is from ShopMyKi. I still have embellies left, so hope to use more of them soon. Right now I should be packing for a 12 hour crop I am going to tomorrow...but my style is usually start packing 10 minutes before I leave and bring everything but the kitchen sink!

I am also entering this over on the Paper Crafts Moxie Fab blog. There is a Christmas Card challenge going on, so be sure to stop by and enter a card of your own.

October Afternoon Road Map Collection

*This card will be featured in a future issue of Paper Creations*

Here are a few things I made this weekend while at the Craft Cottage with my sissies and a couple of other friends. I have a lot to share over the next week or so and probably could have gotten even more done...if I hadn't been yapping, eating and shopping so much. Oh well...that's what a girls' weekend is for isn't it? On these projects I used October Afternoon's Road Map line (click on each pic for a better view) which I picked up at That Scrappy Girl's last crop. You can also find this line in her online store if you aren't local. The pictures are from the Vegas trip I took with my two sisters and my Mom this March. It was Mom's first time on an airplane! None of us killed each other while we were there, so I deem the trip a success :-)

While I was at my 48 hour scrap fest this weekend I got invited to join a couple of design teams - Creatively Green and The Scrappy Shack. Both have entirely different products, so that will be fun to use my creative juices on all kinds of different projects. I will be posting a lot more information about both companies on some blog posts later this week (once I get caught up from being gone this weekend). Creatively Green has green/environmentally friendly products - some from other "green" manufacturers and some products they create themselves. They will have monthly kits, sketches, challenges and all kinds of things going so be sure to check it out. The Scrappy Shack is all about detailed die cuts. You can use them on all kinds of projects - layouts, cards, home decor, anything! There is one that is soooo Emma and I can't wait to use it. They will also be having a big giveaway later this week!
