Practical Scrapper Ten Things Project - Letter Stickers

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick post to share with you a Design Team Project for Practical Scrappers.  The Challenge was to be creative while using letter stickers.  Well, I am back on my Christmas card countdown and this card was quick and simple and packed with color.

I used the letter stickers to create a fish tail banner and then used that as the main focal image for the front of the card.  Sometimes simple is the way to go and I think it fits using the banner as the focus.  I added some glitter glue instead of ribbon to help draw your eye to the center.

Its a clean and simple card but I really like it!  Not all cards need to be so elaborate.  These clean and simple cards are great for those you know are going to most likely toss the Christmas cards at the end of the season or for those you know are just not going to appreciate a hand made card as much as someone else.  Sadly I think we all know sometime that matches this description.

Anywho, there you have it everybody.  I pray that this card brings you some inspiration.

Thank you all for stopping by and I will catch you all next time. Bye!!  :D

Addicted to Scrapbooking, All That Scraps & Happy-n-Scrappin Haul

Hi Everyone!

Whew vacation is hard work!  Well hard it's getting back into the routine of doing what I did before the vacation.  But none the less I'm here.  Hubs and I had a fabulous time together and I think we will have to start planning vacations more often, just the two of us.  I was able to get a lot of projects done, receive inspiration on lots of new stuff, and I have a "Thank You" theme that I have been gravitating to.  Being a follower of Christ I receive instructions on what type of projects to make from the Holy Spirit in my prayer time.  And right now Thank you cards, albums, gifts is what my focus is on.  So I will show you all what I am making soon.  But for right now I have some Haul stuff to present to you.  As most of you may know Addicted to Scrapbooking-Stamps-etc. has gone out of business.  :(   {I am really hurt by that}  But as painful as this is, I must admit that I got some great deals and fabulous finds from them...Here take a look.

I found all these mini stamps!  From left-right, "Butterfly Scroll" by Dimension Crafts #98874 - http://www.inkadinkadoo.com/, "Cottage Christmas Collection - Snowflakes" by Imaginisce #002332 - http://www.imaginisce.com/, "Small Giraffe" by Hot Off The Press #HOTP-1031 - http://www.paperpizazz.com/, "Birds Mini" by Inkadinkadoo #60-30239 - http://www.inkadinkadoo.com/ * http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/, "Love Birds Unm" by Queen Kat Designs #E-101-SJ - http://www.katstamps.com/, "In Bloom" by Scrappy Cat #SCR1017 - http://www.scrappycatonline.com/. 

I found the "Baby Sayings" by Me & My Big Ideas #STR-04 - http://www.meandmybigideas.com/!  I have had such a hard time finding these stickers.  So much so that I did scan the original that I had so I could print them out and use them again.  But I was in sheer delight when I saw these that I had to buy another pack.  I truly believe in supporting vendors and buying or going the bootleg route.  The "Best Friends" by Penny Black Stickeroos #10-026 was a free gift with my order.  LOVE free stuff, don't you.

From All That Scraps - http://www.allthatscraps.com/ I went wild and purchased all these Color Box stamp pads.  At $1.19 per stamp I had to stop myself.  But I picked up Atlantic Blue, Cape Cod, Lavender, Lettuce, Golf Course, Shabby Pink and ream White.

From Happy-n-Scrappin, my new favortie online store, I picked up three packs of paper (2 double-sided) and one single sheet.  First we have "Ooh La La" by My Minds Eye #OLL122 - It comes with 9 double-sided cardstock paper and 1 coordinating accessory sheet; I just love the colors. Next is the Grandma's Kitchen collection - "Precious Paisley" by We R Memory Keepers - http://www.weronthenet.com/; I love the sparkles on the paper. And then I got the "Andrea Victoria" collection by My Mind's Eye - http://www.mymindseye.com/ - it also comes with 9 double-sided cardstock paper and 1 coordinating accessory sheet.  And lastly I picked up the "Life Stories" collection by My Mind's Eye - http://www.mymindseye.com/.  I think the cardstocks are perfect for a family album.  Here are some up close shots.

So that is all for now.  I am excited to start creating with these collections.

So until next time!
