Piecing it together

Today's card is a piecing project! I used two stamp sets from spandcompany. I used the Emma image from 'Glam Girl Emma' and the balloons are from 'Bird with Balloons'(designed by Tina Wenke). I paper pieced Emma's dress and crown with paper from Teresa Collins: Vintage Finds. I colored everything else with my copics and used three buttons from spandcompany in 'Clownfish', 'Sand Castle', and 'Walk the Plank'. The inside of the card and the envelope has a strip of decorative tape that matches the design of the dress and crown. :)

Junk Journal

Okay, I hope this works lol! I'm going to attempt to attach my youtube video to this post instead of a picture. I also show my "Ice cream & Pickles" card in the video. This journal was created with a paper collection from Fancy Pants: The Good Life. I used the 12x12 paper in addition to the 4x6 card mats. The pages measure 4 1/4 by 6 1/4 with each mat measuring 4x6. I incorporated several types of pocket pages. Some of the tags pull from the top, one from the side, two tiny "envelope" sacks to create tag pockets, and one mini paper sack to create tag pockets. There is also a "gatefold" on the front cover with a closure and a waterfall mat stack on the back cover. I used several different stamps from spandcompany, 7 Gypsys, and Studio G. Okay, I can't figure out how to attach the video so here is a photo collage :)

Ice Cream & Pickles!

I made another card for my sister! My younger sister recently found out that she's pregnant with baby #5! She has four girls so %%fingers crossed%% we are hoping for a boy! :) This is a 6X6 card. The design paper is from My Mind's Eye : Lost & Found Portobello Road. I trimmed it down just a bit. The image is from Saturated Canary: Ice Cream & Pickles. The buttons on the banner are from spandcompany. Left to right the colors are Hula Skirt, Walk the Plank, Aqua Seaglass, Summer Sunset, and Flamingo Pink. The sentiment is also from spandcompany: Glam Girl Emma stamp set. I colored the image with my copics. I'm still leaning but I'm really happy with the way she turned out!

Getting Organized!

Well, I'm on vacation this week! I had hoped to get lots of crafting done this week BUT decided that I had better spend some time cleaning and organizing. My craft room was getting a little out of hand! lol I keep buying supplies, but have run out of room for all of it so I thought I would get a new book shelf and rearrange some things. I also got a new Cricut expression! YAY! I broke my expression a few months back and I finally was able to replace it! I have been looking for the black one since June! I passed up a good deal on one around Fathers day. But I waited patiently and that particular ebay seller had it back in stock and was running another good deal on it! It was delivered today! So excited! Hoping to get my room finished up today and spend some time in there tomorrow creating!

Cupcake Fairy card

I made this card for my little sister who is having a bit of a rough time right now. I colored her with my copics and used red glitter glue on her dress. The sentiment, "You Are Certifiably Sweet", comes from spandcompany's 'Certified Awesome' and 'Certified Awesome Additions' stamp sets. I also used the coordinating die tools. The background paper comes form My Mind's Eye - Love Me 6x6 pad. The inside sentiment comes from spandcompany's 'Sunshine Emma' stamp set.

Makin Candles!

Tonight I'm making candles! I love the way the house smells when I make candles! Pictured here are 'Amber Romance', 'Blueberry Cobbler', & 'Buttercream'. I even make scented cubes! They are great for the excess. I always have a little too much wax left when I'm pouring so the cube molds are perfect for that! These are for some friends. I really hope they enjoy them! Sometimes I give my candles to people and find out later that they never burned them. My grandma has candles that I made her about 5 years ago lol. When I asked her why she hadn't burned them, her response was the same as everybody else's. "I don't want to use it all up." Ummmmm, I can make more! lol

Amazing Day card

 

I made this card using design paper from Basicgrey "Hey Girl", several elements from Scrapmaster's Paradise (SP & Company) and bakers twine from the Paper Studio. The adorable image is "Sunshine Emma" from SP&Co. I also used the coordinating die set to cut her and the sun out. I used a piece of Starburst flair fro SP to accent the sun and the sentiment is from their "Certified Awesome" stamp and die set. I popped up the sun and the banner of the sentiment using foam tape. I think it turned out really cute!
