NEW CHA Products + After Christmas Scrapbooking

Good morning friends, I hope you had a wonderful

Christmas time with your friends or family. 

We spent this year just our little family having a quiet day watching movies

and opening gifts….at 3:30 AM! LOL I never could deny my children

no matter how early they wake up. I mean it's Christmas!!! :) It's fun. 

Anyways I wanted you to check out one of my CHA projects- 

Using the BRAND NEW CLEAR SCRAPS release!

I used a Clear Scraps acrylic sheet and gold spray paint with this

Spiral Dot 12X12 Mascil design to create this layout of my sweet boy.

Pretty cool design right? REALLY versatile!

I used some mixed media Gauche Alchemy goodness to create the layout. 

 And really just had fun with it all. 

I don't make layouts often anymore but I so enjoyed this! Cannot wait

to make more throughout the year. 

 I also went old school and spray painted some grungeboard designs by 

good old Tim Holtz~ LOL

Anyways back to reality today- Have some CHA projects to mail and

a couple of deadline projects to meet! Have a wonderful Thursday friends! MUAH!

~Happy Monday!~

Good morning!!!! Can you believe it is the 1st already???!!

Today the Tally Scrapper August Kit I designed comes out!!

It's called Beautiful Soul.

Also there is a fun contest/challenge on Tally called Project Tally Runway

which is why I created this layout....

The challenges are all based on the Project Runway challenges.

How fun is that??! Oh I love it!

I had to create an entire layout using white paper, just like the Project Runway

people had to use a white sheet.

So I spritzed, and played with my Viva Decor Pearl Pens from Tally.

All those silver pearls are made with the Viva Decor pens.

All the flowers I created with my Cricut Imagine I printed them

on white card stock. It is simple, sleek and fun. I just wanted to play

and not get to serious :).

Yesterday we began baseball Fall Ball for the kids...

so I will be back in the trenches. Wednesday we begin school again.

I swear it has been a crazy summer!

Happy Monday everyone!

Send your friends to check out the kit I designed please!!

~Hand Made Gifts *Dry Erase Board VIDEO tutorial!* & WINNER!~

Happy St. Patrick's Day my friends!

I have fun project today that would make amazing hand made gifts.

First of all I want to let you know this was not my original idea, I helped

people make them it at CKC Louisville in the Clear Scraps Booth.

But I put my own twist on it :) And I told Susan (the owner) I was

going to make a video tutorial with the idea and she loved it!

This would make a lovely Teacher's Gift or even a gift for a child's room!

Here is the how to video!!

I love it! This is why working in the booths is so inspiring and fun!

I did not add the dry erase marker yet, but I am going to tie it on a pearl strand.

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! I am off to a Dr. App and baseball tonight,

BUSY times ahead! :) It is officially baseball season!

OHHH and real quick, the winner of the St Patty's Day outfit!

~Scrapping with vintage lace & acrylic~

Good morning!!!!

It's a beautiful and very cold day today. I love it,

I am so ready for snow....hopefully it will soon then I will

feel ready for Christmas.

This week we are slowly but surely decorating and I am

feeling the holiday spirit for sure ♥

I love mixing old and new scrap products like

acrylic and vintage lace...I think it adds such a lovely

touch and it reminds me of my grandmother and history.

I made this layout at Tally Scrappers for a contest to win chocolate LOL

For the base I used a 12X12 Clear Scraps acrylic page then I cut

out the Hambly Doily Overlay and placed it on the acrylic, then covered it in lace.

I also love adding Platinum Paint to my layouts when I

do vintage looking pages. I used the Folk Art Metallic Taupe

paint because it looks just like Platinum.

I also spritzed the journaling spots with Spun Sugar Smooch

for a more aged vintage look with shimmer.♥

I love the new Extreme Tac adhesive from Glue Arts for the acrylic too

it stays on, it does NOT yellow and crack like the glues I have used

and it sticks really hard which is what I need, I like my pages to last!

I wish I could have captured all the detail on this layout.

I used almost a whole box of flowers from Imaginisce, I love

how they layered and the tulle flowers in the box.

I also used the i-rock and the swirls template that is so hard to find.

♥Ohh La La♥

The double lace was from my friend Gloria,

I have such amazing supportive friends including my online buddies

I am so very blessed to have so many friends who are so wonderful.

Ok I am off to bake the day away, we have

a party coming up on Saturday so I need to get it done!

The list is...

Caramel Corn (3 batches!) ♥

Cookies

Fudge

Brownies

Jell-o shots

I better get busy!!!

Happy Thursday everyone

~Have a beautiful day~

I had a scrappy day yesterday with my girlfriends,

You know that Sweet Summertime Echo Park Paper?

I used it and I had so much fun scrapping our

summer memories!

I have 4 pool buddies, A, Becca, Melissa and I

we love to hit the pool and giggle all day.

These papers were perfect for our summer fun!

I used Picnik to edit the picture...I love Picnik!

I don't know if you know it but this week I won a

contest and the prize was a new PINK ATG

gun! OMG I am too excited! I could not wait to try it out.

Thank you Thoughts2Paper!!
