How To Make A Brick Wall Page

Morning friends, it's dreaded Monday, so why not

hide out at home and craft if you can?? Or come home after

work and craft! :) 

I have been trying to create this week and came up with this 

Clear Scraps Mixable Home Album with a "brick wall". 

For the fence I took the protective film off of the back and 

painted it with a brush, then I scratched it. 

After it dried I removed the film from the front and

 painted it with brick red, then I wiped most of it off leaving only a stain. 

After I painted the fence I took Deco Art Medium Texture Paste (Sand) 

and used the Clear Scraps Brick Mascil to create a brick wall, 

but trust me it looked nothing like a brick wall yet, 

I had to wait for it to dry then I added paint and Deco Art Media mists

including black mist.

I used the chipboard pages for this technique, not acrylic. 

On the heart I simply covered in patterned paper, 

then inked the edges in mixed media ink. 

For the back page I also used patterned paper 

I don't usually do that with my acrylic but you can do whatever 

you want! It's your beautiful album!!

At the end of the day I am happy with it all.
I used Echo Park Papers for the album too.
and the corrugated cardboard and butterflies are Little B.

Have a happy Monday friends.

Many Thanks- Clear Acrylic Cards....

Good morning and happy Monday my friends,

I love making ACRYLIC cards, you probably know this.

So, I have some fun cards to share today using the Creating Made Easy

November kit that has paired with Echo Park Papers. 

 These cards I am actually going to sell at a local craft fair

and I am pretty excited!

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Echo Park papers and 

it's the perfect combination with the Clear Scraps acrylic. 

 So far from this kit I have made, 4 cards, 1 banner, 2 door hangers,

and one giant wall hanging. And I have enough left for an acrylic layout and

a few more cards and pages from the papers and acrylic scraps!

Not bad for just one kit. 

I hope your Monday is amazing. 

I spent the weekend sick and am hoping this week is a little better. 

MUAH to my friends~ :) 

Fall Fun And New Journeys Begin

Good morning friends,

It is so cold here right now and I am SO ready for it!

I know many hate the cold but we had such a mild winter I am really excited 

about a possibly cold winter with snow. 

We have 5 new babies in the house...

hoping to have them laying BY spring instead of getting them

in spring and waiting until summer. 

This week we begin a study in Nashville for Gage too.....

It's going to be a busy and long week. I wish I could climb into 

bed and wake up Friday! haha

Happy Fall friends, Have a wonderful Monday and be

sure to stop by tomorrow for a Maya Road/Xyron Blog Hop with PRIZES! :) 

~Awkward Moments Card #2~

Good morning and happy hump day!!! :) 

Yes I am still on this "Awkward Moments" card kick...I mean seriously

I am just laughing and having fun this week with it. 

I have had many texts about ideas....and I had a text from Shauna 

yesterday with this hilarious Llama! LOL 

 Awkward Cards by Pinky- Custom cards made for those delicate "awkward" situations in life. 

You know that friend who get the worst haircut but you LOVE them

and don't want to embarrass them but you are also a good enough

friend to mention it...but you're a chicken? 

Yea, thats when you email me! I got your back! :) 

I just think it's too cute and too fun! 

Any other "Awkward" ideas out there? I would love to hear them.

Want a card made for your Awkward Moment? 

Holler at me! I will make you one! 

Hope you giggled like I did...have a wonderfully crafty hump day. 

~Peep-Tastic Treats For All~

Hey there crafty peeps, 

Diving right in today with a FUN project from the

Spring Medley Stamps set with Avocado Arts!!

I made 3 of these and threw them out, but finally decided

on this one...OI! LOL But I had a fun time with it, minus the

windy day and glitter all over my face~ :) 

I knew when I saw this set I had to make a gift box to hold some candy

for Easter! How much fun is this?

Now the entire Pit Crew has some crazy awesome 

projects to share- be sure to check them out!

~March 1st Bring On Stamping!!~

Hey there crafty friends!!

I have a fun project to share today (and stay tuned for tomorrow's post)
it is the new Spring Medley stamp set from Avocado Arts and of course I
grabbed my Silhouette Cameo and used the cut files that coordinate with the
stamps. I had to cut a few flowers and just play. I was totally
inspired by Ashley's TAG yesterday! :) 

 How fun are these stamps and coordinating cut files?
I love my Silhouette!

I also love this Echo Park paper pack! WOOT!
Now let's hope this card brings on some spring because
right ow it feels like DECEMBER!

Now head over to these blogs and see what the girls have done, 

they have amazing talent you do NOT want to miss it! :)

~2 Projects...I Dream Of...Chloroform??~

Good morning and happy Tuesday my friends,

Today is ridiculous day LOL

I have 2 projects to share, one very sweet and one very rude project.

I thought if I mixed them then you can choose which one you love LOL

I have this great little card you might have spotted at CHA using

the brand new Clear Scraps Borders, I used Viva Decor Pearl Pen

around the edges and glitter. (I believe this card is Echo Park paper).

Then I have this great little card using a sentiment from 

Viva Las VegaStamps! OHHH how I love their stamps! LOL

I love being really snarky sometimes and these stamps make me giggle

so much, seriously I laugh while I create with them. It 

gives me a chance to think outside the box and just go with my creations. 

So we have NICE.... AND

NAUGHTY! Just like Hallmark right?? Ok ok maybe not! LOL

Anyways hope you found a giggle OR some inspiration....see you all tomorrow!
