My First Adult Coloring Kit!

Hey there friends, Happy Monday!

It's already February can you believe it? 

The Creating Made Easy Kit for Feb is a adult coloring kit. 

I learned two things about adult coloring. 

EVERYONE loves it and tells me it is relaxing.

I don't find it relaxing at all LOL

BUT I had fun making the projects, this one is a magnet frame

for the fridge and who doesn't love my sweet Autistic boy Gage?

I have to say though, I am in love with colors, and it's amazing it comes with markers too!

Tags, it's all about the TAGS!

Morning friends, Clear Scraps is starting a new TAG

program where we will be taking monthly tags, and yes instructions are included!

This is my January Tag

And I have instructions on the Clear Scraps blog:

http://clearscraps.typepad.com/my_weblog/2016/01/winter-tag-by-pinky.html

The tags are from the new Tag Album & Tag Box Set.

I loved using all the Krylon, and glitter for this one. 

If you use spray adhesives to glitter the back it is easily

sealed by using either regular spray paint, or

a Clear Sealer. Either one seals in the glitter so it won't flake.  

Check out the post. Hope you enjoy your week! MUAH!

Thank you for stopping by!

Love And Laugh MINI Clipboard! NEW CHA 2016!

Hey there! Happy Friday friends, 

You know last year Clear Scraps came out with these amazing Acrylic Clipboards, 

well this year for CHA 2016 they came out with MINI Clipboards, and

of course a whole new slew of stencils as well!

Also the LAUGH is one of their new Chipboard Word Titles.

For this project I used one of the new Mascils/Stencils, and Krylon

Gold Metallic spray paint, then after I painted it gold and let it dry, 

I painted over it with a teal blue spray paint. 

When it was all dried I added mermaid rhinestones, and 

Pearl Dots. For the title I spray painted it the same blue, then

glittered it with gold while the paint was still wet. 

It was a fun project that was at CHA 2016 this year. 

Even if it's not a scrapbook page, I still love creating for home decor 

or even just personal style. 

Have a wonderful Friday friends!

Circle Mini Album Stenciled With Krylon

The newest Creating Made Easy January Kit is live and this is

a project I created using the Acrylic Circles that were included. 

Now I did use a NEW CHA 2016 Mascil/Stencil from my stash  but 

it's not up yet so I will share when it is!

I love the stencil. I simply sprayed with yellow Krylon spray paint

then glittered it before it dried!

 The blue and yellow colors in the kit have a vintage vibe, perfect

for pretty much any project from winter to fall!

There was a HOME Word Board included and a Chipboard Bannner

and these Circles PLUS MIXERS~ It was a huge kit. 

So grab yours, it's pretty fun!

Happy Monday friends, hope you can enjoy this frigid day! 

Love ya~

Bird Cage Ornament

Sending much respect and love to our veterans today!!

I think one of my favorite things about Clear Scraps is the durability, 

I can make an ornament and I know it's just as durable as one

I have bought and I will have it for years to come. 

With the November Kit from Creating Made Easy I created this 

ornament I painted the back and graduated the colors. 

I did use my bakers twine but the rest was this adorable kit!

Thanks For Hopping Over....Handmade Card! :)

Morning friends, I have another AA card to share today! :)

 For this card I trimmed out two sweet bunnies 

and colored the ears and noses with my Copics, 

then added the stamp set on a grungy paper. 

This stamp set is so amazing I just love it. 

Happy Hump Day friends! :) 

My Two Hearts

Good morning friends, it's already Thursday and this has been a hard

week so why not focus on my sweet boys?!

I made this (Heart) You Album from Clear Scraps of course

one of their Mini Word Albums along with their Mascils and

some Krylon paint. 

I coated the cover with Krylon paint on the back then used a

Clear Scraps Mascil on the front with turquoise paint. 

 Every page I spritzed with Krylon paint on the edges. 

With my new diagnosis and battles this week, it's nice to just

focus on my loves, my hearts...the only reason I stand strong!

Have a beautiful and KIND day my friends. 

Vintage Painted Acrylic Tag Card

Good morning friends, what a busy week ahead,

but I wanted to share some new projects this week including this

vintage style painted Clear Scraps acrylic card from the

February Kit at Creating Made Easy. 

 For this card I painted the edges of the flaps using Deco Art paints. 

Then to create the tag I simply cut out a sheet of patterned paper and used

a new Little B Border punch for the top. 

 Added some Prima flowers and goodness from the kit and 

that was all she wrote! 

These Send It Clear Cards from pre-cut and ready to assemble with an envelope too, 

they are so amazing. 

Merry Christmas Acrylic Bell Card

It's that time of year, time to have fun creating. 

I have so many projects to share this week!

I have been busy with holiday photo shoots as well, so stay tuned. 

But today I wanted to share a Clear Scraps Send It Clear Bell Card I 

created for Christmas. 

I used Krylon gold spray paint on the acrylic bell and added a Clear Scraps

frame to paint as well. 

I LOVE using glitter in the winter for snow I think I should have

been born in a snow state LOL

The clear card is so much fun, and they come pre-cut all you have to
to is decorate and assemble!

Merry Christmas friends....Love to all. 

Spooky Halloween Mobile!

Hey there, So I kept looking at the new Samantha Walker cuts and

it just kept popping out at me...I need to do something different with it. 

I ended up taking an old tape roll, painting it and making

the SPOOKY cut file into a Halloween Mobile with crystals so

technically it's a sun catcher too!

You can check out the full instructions on the Samantha Walker blog today

Clear Scraps + Imagine Crafts- Wood Grain Technique

 Hey again friends, Happy Monday!

So Clear Scraps & Imagine Crafts has paired up this week and I have 

a cool technique I created while I was playing. 

I used irRESISTible sprays and a blow dryer to create a cracked wood grain effect. 

I created this Build It Your Way Binder (wait until I share the pages inside)

and wanted to cover the fence in texture, then I began playing with the 

irRESISTible spray in COPPER and BRONZE and I coated the binder spine

with them mixing the colors, I thought it kind of reminded me of wood

 So I saturated it- I should meant ion I taped off the acrylic first. 

After saturating it, I left it 20 minutes to get a little bit of a crust on it, 

then I took a blow dryer and heated it for about 10 minutes which gave it 

a cool crackled wood affect. 

It looks like aged wood really well in person too. 

For the Clear Scraps Fence Mixers I used the Wedding Dress irRESISTible spray but I didn't

get to it with the blow dryer quick enough to make it wooden (I wish I had),

so I dried it then I inked it using StazOn inks in Emerald City and Cactus Green. 

 I wrapped flowers and stems around the fence adhering it onto the 

album cover, after adding the laces. 

 These Imagine Crafts products are so amazing even if you are not a mixed media

guru (I am definitely NOT) it's for the every day crafter too just for amazing

ideas and new techniques!

TRY the blow dryer!!!!! :) 

Check out Clear Scraps and 

Imagine Crafts all week long!

Xyron, Maya Road BLOG HOP!

Welcome to the Xyron & Maya Road blog fest this week, 

check out the cool prizes they are giving away and my project today! :) 

These are my very vintage mixed media cards I created using MR and Xyron. 

I am going to give a quick rundown of how I created these. 

If you make cards and DO NOT have a Xyron 9" Creative Station

trust me YOU NEED ONE! Like now...it makes card making so easy I love it. 

 Trim patterned paper to 4.5X6" Trim cork paper to 4X5.5" and use

Xyron 9" Creative Station to layer papers. 

In fact I fold my card base and run it right through my Xyron 9" Creative Station

so the cover on the cards sticks evenly and perfectly every single time. 

 Using Maya Road Canvas Coaster Album stamp sentiment onto

canvas itself. Using Xyron Adhesive Dots adhere canvas coaster

to front of card. 

 Layer on Maya Road Vintage Lace Tape, 

then adhere Maya Road Vintage Burlap Rose using Xyron Adhesive Dots.

 Use Xyron Clear Hold Adhesive to adhere Maya Road Metal Vintage

 Love Clip to front of card.

 See?? Xyron really does make adhesive for EVERY project and every medium. 

 Be sure to head to the Xyron blog and check out the prizes and

enter to WIN BIG!
