Flute tag

I have fun project to share.

Buttercup plays the flute and her tag broke off her case, so I made her one.

 

I just need to find my crop a dile to punch the darn hole :) the adorable music note is from Pinque Peacock. 

 

Here is the back. This was a great recycling project. It was an old gift card. :)

Pinque Peacock Crafty kit club

I am lucky enough to be one of the first people to have gotten the new Pinque Peacock mini crafty kit.

Here is a sample of some of the goodies.

 

So, I got kit A and I forgot to take a picture, but my kit had the paper mache pencil box, 1 sheet of 6x6 paper, 6 approx 6x12 sheets of tissue paper, 3 flowers, a mini mister, a cool metal leaf, bling, a little ribbon and a bottle cap. 

To be honest I was a little scared. Only 1 piece of paper I didn't know what to do. My paint and glue were the only supplies I used not in the kit.

So here is what I came up with...

I started by painting it green and while the paint was dry on the top I smoothed the tissue paper on it.  On a few sides I mixed pink and green paint before adding the tissue paper.  I sealed it all with Mod Podge,  I wasn't sure how to create the look I wanted. I felt the 3 flowers werent enough to fill the top, so I made the other flowers out of my leftover tissue paper.

Here is a close up of the flowers.

These are the sides and the back.

I was so nervous the whole project but I love how it turned out. This is what I love about the crafty kit club. This isn't my usual style and it pushed me to think outside the box and push my crafty limits. I hope you get your kit today and don't forget to share what you make.

Applejack hearts treats

Happy Saturday Everyone,
It has been crazy around here, lots of snow came through here. I have a few projects I have made and realized I forgot to share. What was I thinking LOL. So I thought I would share this new one first.
The Scrapbooking Queen has a digital challenge blog, I have followed it for a while. She is having a design team call so I thought I would try out. She provided the image.


Here is what I came out with

I got these cool tubes at Sam's Club, they were filled with gumballs and I just took out the gum and gave it to my friends child. :) I used apple runts for my treat.  I colored my image with my Prismacolor pencils.  I used some punches to create my circles and then it is hard to see but I used apple shaped eye-lets.  I tied my tag on with red baker's twine and it was done.  I hope you like it.

Have a great weekend.

My first project for Crafting Family Design Team

I am very excited. I am not a part of  Crafting Family Design team.  You really need to check out the blog and the store, craftingfamily. Lots of cute stuff. :)

So here is my project I created.  It was my very first explosion box. I did a simple one, but I plan on making more of these.  :)

It was an easy project. I took a 12x12 sheet of cardstock and scored it at 4 inches, and 8 inches, turned it 90 degrees and scored at 4 and 8. Then I scored a diagonal line in the 4 outer corners.
The light blue cardstock, and patterned paper is from Crafting Family.

 I used...

iron orchid designs steel toe mary jane collection "miss adventure"  (both sides)

pebbles  happy go lucky collection "dandy" both sides

blue cardstock

The orange is from my pile, I used gel pens, eye-lets from Eye-lets Etc, and Bloom-lets.

So that is my project. I really hope you like it and go check out the Crafting Family sites. Plus like them on Facebook, they are doing a giveaway :)

Thanksgiving layout

Morning Everyone!  I have been feeling super cruddy the past few days, and it involved a trip to the ER.  Yuck! So I am pulling out this project for you.  It was a design team project for Eye-lets Etc.  I think it turned out really well. 

Everything on it is from the Eye-lets Etc store. I used...lets see...tea stain paper, large yellow and red eyelets, bloom-lets, lots of them, brown twine, buttons soup, ele textured cardstock, and I think that is it.

Sorry this isn't more in depth.  I just can't be descriptive today. :(  See you on Friday for the Getting Cricky blog hop, and also check out the Getting Cricky Link up with love going on.

Have an awesome day!

Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky!

Today is the Simply Sunday Challenge over at Getting Cricky!  The Senior Design Team was challenged with Tea Time.  They made some fabulous projects featuring coffee, tea and hot chocolate.  You need to go check out the great projects they have for you.

There are some new release stamps available and I just wanted to share them with you.

         


I think they are all great!!  I love how you can mix and match all the sayings to make it say whatever you want.


I'll quickly add what I have been up to.  My friend wanted me to help her make name banners. We are making 11 of them for Christmas. Yesterday, I sat and cut so much, my cricut didn't know what to do!  I will post pictures of all the cuts and banners when we get them done.

Have a great day!

Time for me to get ready for the football game.  I put my jersey on, and need to make my Defense signs.

Go CHARGERS!!!

Moldy Cheese Day

Sunday was Moldy Cheese day.  So over at the Eye-lets Etc blog our design team project was to make something for this occasion.

I love how this turned out.  I used green bazill cardstock for the base, the strip on the side is stained walnut, and the mat is lilac plaid.

Have a great day!

Welcome Baby!

I am so beyond excited!! My best friend(BFFFFFFF) just told everyone she is pregnant!!!!!

I am so happy for her, and can't wait until she has this precious baby.  I told her I would do lots of stuff for the baby's room, and make her scrapbook. So this is the first page that I have made.  I am not sure what order the pages will go in yet, but we will see what develops.  Since they don't know yet what they are having, I tried to keep it neutral and her favorite color is green. She will put the pictures on the colored cardstock, I couldn't add pictures since the baby is still cooking. :)


I used a kit that I had by Colorbok.  It is just called pastel.  The patterned paper, stickers and the 2 bottom embellishments.  The color cardstock is from  Eye-lets Etc, and the flower is one of their bloom-lets.  The baby was from my stash, I can't remember what they are.  I used the Artful Delights September sketch for the layout.

I hope you all like it!  I love you Shawna and I hope you like it too!

Happy Halloween!

I know it is slightly early for this years Halloween, but I made this for a Halloween Picture from last year.  I was lucky last year and able to help a lot in my daughters class. So I took some pictures at their party.  I don't have the pictures on the layout yet, but I love how the layout turned out.  I used this for my Eye-lets Etc  design team project.  Absolutely everything except the stickers and marker are from Eye-lets Etc!   I hope you have a fantastic day!

A little late Grandparents Day project

I know Grandparents day was the 11th, but I did have this done in time.  I swear!! LOL.  I did this for a challenge for the ELE Design Team™, and it went on that site, but I forgot to get it up on mine.  The challenge was I had to make a vintage grandparents day project.  Vintage is soo hard for me, but I think I did pretty well on it.

It was a pretty easy project.  Everything I used was from the Eye-lets Etc store, except the gold ink. It was a quick project, I cut my Bazzill white textured cardstock to 2.5 by 6, then I used Scissor Sisters paper love collage and cut that at 2 x 5.5.  I inked the edges of the white with gold ink.    I used some Bloom-lets and used eyelets to hold them together.  The stickers are vellum Scissor Sisters stickers the Friends and Family set.  I used some purple Fibers and Such for the tassel and to wrap around the bookmark.  I finished it off with a vintage button, it wasn't on the site though.

I hope you enjoyed to project, have a great day.

Awesome kids challenge and a sale :)

Hi! I hope everyone is having a great morning.  I am still recovering from yesterday!  I have no idea how people handle going for all 3 days.  I wanted to share a few things this morning.  I think it is so important for kids to be creative and use their imagination.  I was so excited when I found out that Eye-lets Etc™ had a kids blog!  Click here to go to the kids blog.  Princessbuttercup was very excited when Terri, the owner, asked her to create a word scramble for the site.  So we came up with one, and if you go to the site, print off the word scramble and then color it. Take a picture of email it in, your child will get a prize!  I am actually going to do one more thing, and have her pick one of the words and then my project featuring that word.  She loves to craft and I really want to encourage that.  Become a follower of the site and there will be lots of cool stuff to come.

The other thing I want to share is there is a really awesome sale over at Eye-lets Etc™.  I really love being on the design team and the products are fabulous!  I have never had eyelets that set so easily and I am in love with the Bloom-lets™.  I can't wait to share my design team projects that use them.  Anyway, here is the link.  http://eyeletsetcblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/fall-into-september-with-eye-lets-etc.html

I think I have rambled on enough this morning.  I will try and post more Scrapfest projects either later tonight or tomorrow.    I hope you all have a great day!

SOOO EXCITED!!

I just had to jump on and share my fantastic news!  I was chosen to be on the Eyelets Etc Design Team!  Here is a link to the ELE blog and their awesome store.
