Clear Scraps Altered Frame TUTORIAL- Giveaway!!

Good morning Clear Scraps friends, 

Welcome to the Summer Inspiration Blog Hop day TWO!

http://clearscraps.typepad.com/

To me the epitome of summer is BASEBALL so I decided to created an 

Altered Frame using Clear Scraps Clearly Framed acrylic frame and the Clear Scraps Mascils. 

 Peel off one side of the protective film. 

Lay Mascil onto frame. 

Using paint- dab onto frame over Mascil. 

Set aside to dry. 

Trim out 4.5X6.5" paper- adhere photo. 

Using Beacon adhesive- adhere matted photos to each side of frame. 

Add emebllishments!

I used some sports stickers I had that coordinated with the photo. 

Now I can hang this in the window if I want because it
is two sides or hang it on the wall! :)

Now head on to the other blogs and see what inspiration they have!

~Bitch, Please!~

Hey there crafty friends,

Hope you are having a blessed Memorial Day.

You know with the title "Bitch, Please" it is a Viva Las VegaStamps post!

Yep it's me- featured on the VLVS blog today!

I have about 5 girlfriends who I trust with my life and this is the 

is the best way to say it...because you know I will be with them in 20 

years saying "BITCH PLEASE!" lol because even at

 60 the drama never ends with crazies and haters!!

Happy Monday! :) 

~Last Week Of School~

Good morning!

Seriously could the last week of school be any more hectic?? I mean

we are MID baseball season plus the last week of school and I am swamped! LOL

I keep wanting to sit down and craft but it escapes me!!

So I thought I would share a few photos from my week instead! :) 

Yesterday we planted my garden- yes it is late but the man

at the garden center said everyone's is because it has been horrible weather. 

So I am happy it's in! :) 

Saturday night I got all gussied up for the theater...

Me and 4 of the best gals I know went to see SPANK!

 If you don't mind humor- crude...it was pretty much the best thing I have  ever

seen in my entire life! Plus these gals made it so much fun! 

I LOVE this and them. Next to meeting Jenny Lawson this was the best.

 Bounce back to last-night when my boy graduated 5th grade with TOP HONORS!

I mean he blew my mind! He won medals and awards in so many things

LOVE this kid so much-

 Skip back to Sunday and we had a wonderful birthday party for our

dear friends the Close Family- OMG it was the best time I have had in ages!

We all played (except me the shutterbug) seriously the best. 

Oh and Monday I went to take photos of the Dragons Team! 

I am loving taking sports photos.

I mean you can see why crafting has not happened- it has been 

one hell of a week in the Hobbs home- Pictures over 2500!

Activities and games- love me some May!

Have a beautiful day- I am off to my son's field trip- good times!!!!! :) 

~Click Click- Too Good To Be True!~

GOOD MORNING CRAFTERS!!!!

I am super excited because I have not one, not TWO, 

but THREE projects to share today using the fun and awesome 

Future's So Bright stamp set from Avocado Arts,

and of course the amazing coordinating digital cuts! :)

I made this card and just HAD to use the stamps to "create" a

Polaroid popping out of the camera- I mean seriously is this not the best

thing you have ever seen in your life? I mean it is mine! LOL

Of course all the sentiments were cut with the digital files as well. 

And this one was a fun time too! I love that background stamp

and decided to use white ink against the black background.

I used my Clearsnap Colorbox inks- perfection!

 It's a mini card but I love it so hard!!!

 And last but not least the FULL sized card digital file that came with 

the stamp set- it just cut the card right on my Silhouette. 

I added the sentiment stamping- and this was a FUN little time to make.

There is nothing better than an old time bright light camera!

Even typing this post makes me freaking giggle!!!

HAPPY HUMP DAY my friends! Have a wonderful week!!!!

Head to Avocado Arts to find out more!

~Thank You Teachers- Acrylic Card~

Hey there my wickedly crafty friends, 

I am up today with a fun ACRYLIC card (I mean of course) that I created

for Justice's teacher! Sorry it's not an Awkward Moments card-

I have a few of those coming for sure!

Today I was focused on this thank you card for my son's teacher. 

And creating these fun vintage flowers with my Purple Cows punches.

LOVE THEM!

I used my Jenni Bowlin papers- and just went with it. 

I don't get to do vintage style often but when I do I immerse myself

I just love it. I love all styles LOL

Anyways- it was a fun card to make- I love my Clear Scraps for sure!

Happy Tuesday my friends!!! 

Thank YOU for stopping by!

~Berrylicious Mother's Day~

Good morning my friends, 

Ok this morning is not about crafts- sorry! :) LOL

I did craft this weekend in fact here is a sneak peek!!!!

I had some FUN with my Silhouette and Avocado Arts-

I am literally screaming to share them on Wednesday! :) 

Anyways I spent Mother's Day with friends in the strawberry patch- 

here are a few of the shots I took- all good stuff!

 This one I took because it reminds me of when my grandma was alive

and going to her home- well it just felt like her house. 

 

It was a whirlwind of a day- after this I went home and cooked up a dinner

then headed to the hospital to see my gal pal Mel-she was laid up

and let's face it- we all need visitors in the hospital! :) 

Hope you had a happy Mother's Day my friends-
