This card is perfect to celebrate a wedding or anniversary. I ran the Scallop Wrap Cover thru my Cuttlebug using the Dotted Swiss Folder. There were holes punched in the left hand side because it is actually an album cover, so I used some gems to cover that up and add some sparkle!

4x4 Scallop Wrap Cover - Grape Delight Smooth

Heart #6 set - Sparkleberry Delight and Plum Delight smooth

This card is perfect to give to some to celebrate weight loss or keeping up on a healthy eating plan. This is something I really need to work on myself...maybe I'll save and give it to myself if I get back on the diet/healthy eating wagon?

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.

The Scrappy Shack Creations

Here are some cards I made using die cuts from The Scrappy Shack. These first two cards used pieces of the same die cut. I cut apart the Flourish die cut - one to create a branch, one to create a stem. The papers I used are Jillibean Soup Grandma's Christmas - although one card didn't end up being a Christmas card.

On this card I used the Flourish Frame die cut to create this wedding card. I added a transparency behind it and a few pearls to dress it up. The papers are from Making Memories - Sabrina.

This post is short and sweet as I still have a lot to do for Christmas. I procrastinate on the wrapping, packing, baking etc. every year - you'd think I'd learn!

KI Memories Sketch Challenge

Here is a little something I made using the sketch KI Memories posted over on their blog recently. You could create a layout, card or any project and since I'm a card junkie...surprise! I've made a card! I ended up flipping the sketch on it's side I used various papers and embellishments from their Celebration Collection - Just Married.

Some Simple Shares

Here are a couple more things I made at last Saturday's crop. I made this layout in a few minutes after spending WAY too long (hours....) on the Concert layout on an earlier post. It's another picture from her dance recital this Spring. I printed all kinds of pictures, so beware...you'll probably see more of the pink and white polka dotted outfit! Papers are Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday available from That Scrappy Girl. And of course I had to add some gems! I scrap in both 8 1/2 x 11 and 12x12. I eventually put my layouts in 3 ring binders so you can mix sizes easily. When I only have one picture I want to scrap, sometimes a 12x12 seems like way too much surface area to decorate.

Also made a quick and easy wedding card using some Cosmo Cricket, October Afternoon and Making Memories Mini Alphas.

Kazan Sketch #17 is Moxie Fab!

I went to a 15 hour crop today so I was able to tackle some cards and even a layout too. I will share over the next week or two. Right now I'm hurriedly posting this before the sketch deadline and then off to bed. Church comes early! This was made with 2 Sketches 4 You's weekly sketch - this week from Kazan. I thought the scallops on the sketch went perfectly with the dress challenge over at Paper Craft's Moxie Fab blog. The black and white paper (it has a velvety texture) is from Hobby Lobby, the white glossy cardstock is Die Cuts With a View,the black glitter cardstock is from Doodlebug and flowers are Creative Imaginations. I didn't put a sentiment, but this card screams of wedding to me. Click on it for a better look.

I was a dork and had my camera with me so I could snap pictures of all my cards. Luckily no one noticed or then you get the questions and weird looks. I had enough problems with a few ladies who were being way too obnoxious (loud) and the same ladies who wouldn't quit touching our supplies and creations. I little frustrating when you have glitter and wet Stickles on your projects! I have manners though and don't tell anyone to shut up or to keep their mitts off!

Wedding Gift Card Holder

The challenge this week over at Mothers and Daughters Creations was to make a gift card. I used the Creative Imaginations Veronika gift card holder and also some Heidi Grace paper and chipboard, Doodlebug glitter paper, EK Success sentiment, Paper Studio bling, and some Making Memories stickers. The gift card was from Walmart and I thought it matched perfectly. Size is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2.

Smattering of Cards

Staying up way too late again tonight, but wanted to get a few more cards posted. Still have a few more left that I made recently to post, but that's for another day. On all of these cards the papers are from the September Are You Kitting Me kit. Also had another card with a bunch of Are You Kitting Me goodies, but it will be in the May/June issue of Paper Crafts :-) On this card paper is 3 Bugs In a Rug, rubon is Rusty Pickle, pearls are Mark Richards and some kraft cardstock.
Paper is the back side of the green 3 Bugs In A Rug paper, Archiver's cardstock, K and Company heart, Hambly transparency and Making Memories ABC stickers.
I used a sketch from a fun new site called Rough Draft Sketches. It could be used for either a layout or a card. Papers are Daisy Bucket, Laura Ashley and Bo Bunny, K and Co felt, Making Memories chipboard sentiments, some Paper Studio bling and an EK Success cupcake.

This was also made for a sketch call at Paper Crafts. It's a mini at 3x3 1/2. Daisy Bucket papers, Making Memories brads and ABC Doodlebug rubons.

A Trio of Boxes!

I made my first box ever! And it was so easy and fun I made two more! I'm attempting the challenge over at the 3D Design Challenge site this week. This is a brand new site and the people running it are super creative so be sure to check it out often for inspiration. The boxes measure 2 x 3 1/2. I also busted out my Scor-Pal for the first time.


*Easter Box removed for publication in Paper Crafts Cards and Gifts published Spring/Summer 2009.

I threw in a little something extra with this one - a card! I used DCWV Baby Boy Nursery stack and Craft N Craftin' stickers. I think those stickers are just adorable! I will have to hide this little box from my daughter or I know her...she'll claim as her own!

This little wedding box could be used for decor at a bridal shower or even at a wedding. I used Reminisce paper (it's hard to see in the paper, but there are glitter hearts on it), Fancy Pants playing card (this ended up being the same size as the box - happy accident), Paper Studio bling and some ribbon scraps.

This could be used for a baby shower or even as nursery decor. Some more DCWV Baby Boy Nursery stack and Paper Studio brad and chipboard circle.

I'm teaching the 5 year old Sunday School class this year, so I'm planning to use these boxes for a craft project. Probably even more than once!

P.S. Found out that 2 of my cards will be in the January 09 issue of Cards. Sweet!
