Today Life Is Good Custom Album

Hey there friends, Happy Tuesday. 

I have been doing so many photoshoots lately I decided to use one to

create a mini album using the Creating Made Easy May 2016 Kit this time!

It was fun to use the pics from the shoot to create an album. 

I cannot wait to take my boys out and get pics this weekend. 

I am dying over these Webster's pages papers and sticker embellishments. 

 On this mini a filled in the pages with patterned paper and took scraps to make 

contrast edging. 

 Also on the front of each page I used gold metallic paint around the edges. 

There were a couple pages I wanted the matting to be larger so I painted the entire page,

then used a large matting that overlapped the chipboard pages of the 

Clear Scraps Tabby Album from the kit. 

Even the fun vine ribbon was included in the kit, it is a beautiful scrapbook kit this month 

and perfect for not only scrapbooking but mixed media as well.

Creating Made Easy May 2016 Kit

LIVE Desktop Plaque Craft

Hello Monday and help friends!

Have you seen the Creating Made Easy May 2016 Kit? I mean it is drop dead gorgeous! Such a combo of colors and style, I am in love!

Included in the kit is the Clear Scraps LIVE Expression with is so fun, plus some gorgeous Webster's Pages papers and stickers that you'll love as much as I do. 

For this desktop sign I made (To remind myself to LIVE and breathe) I painted the back of the LIVE Expression with paint so the front would be nice and glossy. Then I put pearls all over the front using a Pearl Pen. 

After I allowed everything to dry, I trimmed out pattered papers that was all included in the kit and made it the perfect desktop size. 

Using Beacon Zip Dry adhesive I adhered the Clear Scraps LIVE Expression to the paper dotting it where the pearl dots are to perfectly conceal the adhesive. 

I also added some stickers form the May 2016  kit that were fun sentiments. I then took a heavy duty card stock, folded it lengthwise and adhered half to the back so it would stand tall on my craft desk. 

I am willing to bet this Creating Made Easy May Kit flies off the shelf, between the Mini Album, and perfectly adorable papers, it's going to go quick so grab yours now!

Here is a link to the details in the kit and it's only 29.99 including USA shipping.

Easter Chick Basket Mini Album by Pinky

Hey there friends, as terrible as I have been at blogging lately,

 I have been creating! Better late then never? haha

This fun project is from the March Kit from Creating Made Easy.

It's a Easter Chick Clear Scraps Basket Mini Album I created using the kit. 

Actually it is the feature project of the month!

 I had so much fun creating this Easter Chickens Basket Album using the kit, and yes there are step by step instructions included with every kit!

The flowers included in the kit are so easily altered to fit any color. 

And of course they easily match the Clear Scraps  Chipboard Title with paints!

I thought it would be fun to include pictures of my chickens since they were my Easter chicks when they were little peeps. 

So many beautiful colors in the kit, I found it easy to coordinate.

For each page I left the acrylic clear to show through, placing the matting on the back to hide the adhesive. 

I placed the photos on the front and could easily add more. 

For the back page I graduated colors of paint, you could easily add extra photos on each side!

Each flower was painted to match the "Easter", and the buttons were from my stash, but they went very well.

The florals and colors are perfect if you wanted to go with reds or yellows just as easily. 

Grab your kit before it's gone because it's a fun one!

February Mixed Media Tag!

Happy Thursday friends, you know Clear Scraps started a new monthly

tag program and I decided to make my FEB tag Mixed Media. 

If you go to the CS blog I have step by step instructions!

http://clearscraps.typepad.com/my_weblog/2016/02/febraury-tag-fun-by-pinky.html

Nothing in life is better then glitter and hearts! LOL

I can be a fun tag or a birthday tag, I really just enjoyed painting it with 

Krylon paints and playing with the Large Tag Album page from Clear Scraps!

Have a wonderful day my friends. :)

Phone Case Made New W/ Clear Scraps and Krylon!

Hey there friends, Happy FRIDAY bitches! LOL
 and I wanted to share a personal project I created before CHA 2016 but I keep this one for myself!

I LOVE Clear Scraps Mascils/Stencils and when I found some spray paint to cover all mediums I decided to personalize my phone case!

For this one I picked the best Spray Paint (MAXX) from Krylon and I took the case apart removing the rubber. Then I cleaned the plastic case with alcohol and no it was NOT vodka! haha 

I spray painted it in pastel blue, and allowed it to dry for about 4 hours. 

After that I placed the 6" Groovy Hearts Mascil (stencil) from Clear Scraps on it, and I used 3 Krylon MAXX Pastel colors to graduate them over the stencil. 
This stencil was so much fun. 

After that dried about 4 hours, I used Krylon Metallic Gold spray paint and painted the edges. 

Now I let that dry 24 hours, so yes this takes time! haha

Then I spray painted SEVERAL light coats of clear coat on it. 

Now after a couple months I found out you need several coats of clear coat and possibly a 24 hour drying time before adding the last coat, because the original I only coated twice and it eventually rubbed off. So lesson learned and passed to you!

ANY Clear Scraps Mascil will work, just choose your favorite!

What can you do with CS Stencils? They are amazing.

Until next time...

Birds Of A Feather Layout With Spray Paint

When I saw this photo it's the moment I realized my son

was such a goofball just as much as his mother. 

I fell in LOVE! :)

I had to scrap it of course. 

I used the newest release from Clear Scraps, the chipboard embellishments. 

They come in the cutest frame so I utilized it on this layout as a stencil. 

I used 3 colors of Krylon spray paint to create the effects. 

YES spray paint on a layout...it's fun!

What are you working on this week?

Dress Form Bookmarks w/Alcohol Inks

Oh it is HUMP DAY!

I actually have been crafting and I have a full tutorial

for these Dress Form Bookmarks using Alcohol Inks and Krylon Spray Paint

over on the Clear Scraps blog:

http://www.clearscraps.com/product_p/csaedressform.htm

They were so much fun to make and a fun gift too, especially for back to school. 

I even love the earth tone colors and how you can change them using 

 the same color ink but different spray paint. 

Hope you enjoy my friends...
Have a beautiful day. 

Stencils, Stamping, Embossing, And Spray Paint!

 Well hello Monday, it feel like Monday. 

I have a few projects this week but I will start with this tag I created

using Avocado Arts Stamps, Krylon Paint, and Clear Scraps Mascils!

I really had fun with this new AA stamp set. 

I loved pairing the colors. It's been a crazy week.

Have a beautiful Monday friends! :) 

Life's A Journey Mini Album

Life is definitely a journey and I have to remind myself of 

the long road sometimes, so when I saw this quote on paper I decided

to base my entire Mixable Tag album on it!

For this one I inked the acrylic cover page in blue then

used Krylon Gold Paint and the Clear Scraps Mascil

to create the cover. 

 The muscle is called Dandelion Wind...

Really fun project, cannot wait tot share more!

My Two Hearts

Good morning friends, it's already Thursday and this has been a hard

week so why not focus on my sweet boys?!

I made this (Heart) You Album from Clear Scraps of course

one of their Mini Word Albums along with their Mascils and

some Krylon paint. 

I coated the cover with Krylon paint on the back then used a

Clear Scraps Mascil on the front with turquoise paint. 

 Every page I spritzed with Krylon paint on the edges. 

With my new diagnosis and battles this week, it's nice to just

focus on my loves, my hearts...the only reason I stand strong!

Have a beautiful and KIND day my friends. 

Art Is Heart Acrylic Mixed Media Clipboard

Hello friends, and welcome Monday (not really LOL)

I have a fun NEW CHA release to share again, a brand new 

Clear Scraps Acrylic Clipboard that I turned into a Mixed Media Art piece 

for my crafting room. Really I just wanted to experiment with some

mediums with the Mascils. 

So I found out that if you want to use water based acrylic crackle paint

which I use reg acrylic paint on acrylic all the time no problem but the 

crackle paint flies off into a million pieces, so you have to seal it when you put it on WET, 

then I added more paint because of all the flaking, but in the end

I love it! :) 

 I did the Bokeh with the Krylon spray paints again only this time I 

did it all on the back in layers! :) 

 Then added the texture to the front and embellishments. 

It's girl and love-y like me...

I love art and everyone who creates it is just beautiful working with

their hands and creativity, so it's all good people!!!

Welcome Monday! :)
