~Hiding In My Craft Room Playing With Paper~

Good morning my crafty-licious friends~

I have been having fun hiding away in my craft room this week.

I am still working on CHA projects and a couple extra projects.

I am working on new releases from Clear Scraps, and a page for a friend.

While I was waiting for the pictures from Lindy, I scrapped this page.

I am trying to make a few "friends" pages. I found this paper from

Momenta and knew I had to make this page right away.

I love the printed quotes paper how it says

"Circle Of Friends" & "Always There" I decided to use

that as the title instead of adding my own.

I have been making ALOT of 8X8 pages lately, I guess I need to grab

an 8X8 album soon! haha You know I never think about the size of my pages

I just grab whatever and start working on them.

Do you have a page size preference?

And why?

I am finding myself moving away from 12X12 more and more

and doing alot of 8X8, 8.5X11, but then again I do slip in

the occasional 12X12. Since crafting is a pleasure thing

for me, I tend to be very waffly and craft on a whim. LOL

~Video Tutorial For The Card That Made Me Mad!!~

Good morning my crafty friends,

Are you ever on a roll, I mean really cranking out the crafts

and very excited about it....then all of a sudden it all crashes LOL

I was that way last week, I was on a roll, I made a video tutorial,

I made a step by step photo tutorial for Imaginisce & Glue Arts...

I was rolling along with my alcohol inks and Clear Scraps,

then BOOM LOL

I went to put this card together and the ribbon went crazy!

(Here is the video for the snowflake)

I could not get my ribbon to set right for anything.

In the end it was too late, I had made the video and set it all up

so I just rolled with it and photographed it anyways.

Hey no one is perfect right? LOL The technique is fun and using the

Glue Arts Adhesive squares with glitter...well it rocks.

But don't look at the card! hahahaha

Happy Tuesday my friends, thank you for popping by and saying hello

it's so amazing to wake up and read comments every day.

I appreciate every one of you!

~Clearly Christmas Fun~

Good morning!!

It is frigid this morning, boy I can feel winter peeking around the corner

and it puts me in the mood to scrap the Christmas photos from last year.

Imaginisce has a special post today called "Out Of Shape",

and I am one of the designers they asked to make a shaped project.

They are also giving away an irock package this week

so head over and comment! :)

For this page I used the XL Acrylic Shape from Clear Scraps,

then I added some Imaginisce goodies, then some Christmas

ribbons, and some shiny gold metallic cardstock from Kanban.

and of course the whole thing is held together by my Glue Arts

Extreme glue because it rocks my acrylic!

Oh and I found glitter glue at Michaels for 1.00 from Studio G,

now it tales a few more minutes to dry but I added it to the edges

and set it aside while I made dinner.

I actually feel like decorating for Christmas now! LOL

Hey have you entered my CRICUT CARTRIDGE GIVEAWAY??

From last Friday??? HURRY it's the last day to enter! GO!

~Sweet Vintage High Fashion Card~

Hey there friends,

I almost did not blog today but then I remembered I needed to

remind all my digi scrappy friends (and all the rest) that tomorrow

is the Samantha Walker Creative Team BLOG HOP, and

I came across this card I had not posted yet! :)

If you have not tried the Purple Cows PIN IT yet, it's so fun.

See the pretty gold leaves on the Kanban Crafts card I created?

Those are from the Pin It. All the rest is Kanban, and the lace

is vintage from my stash spritzed with Smooch Spritz.

I nearly fainted when I found these quote die cuts from Kanban and they

were quotes from Coco Chanel!!!! *swoon* I am a big fan of fashion

and she really pioneered women's fashion, so it was cool to find.

Plus what gf would not like a card like this! :) Vintage and fun...loves it!

I also used my Glue Arts glue on this one....

have I pimped enough product yet?? LOL

If you wonder why I always post what the product is...it's not because

I am paid, because I am not...it is simply because I always get emails

asking what the products are so my friends can find them.

Now I try to just post what I use all the time. And if I like it

and trust it TRUST the product :) Then I will tell ya because

it's a treat to find a great product that I can trust! :)

Ok I am off to do more unpacking, have a fantastic day~

~Glue Arts WINNER + Craft Supplies On Halloween Costumes!~

Good morning!!!

Did you have a Happy Halloween??

Today I am posting the Glue Arts WINNER, but first I wanted

to share my craftiness yesterday....it's not what you think LOL

My boys are getting older and mom was sick this year, so they

opted for masks (the 2 older ones). Now normally I make everyone in

the family costumes, but this year I have been sick and just could not do it.

This is the mask Justice bought but his sheet was stark white.

He asked me if I could get a grey sheet with white but I could not find one

so I tol him I would SMOOCH him...Smooch Spritz that is LOL

I tool this silver Smooch Spritz and sprayed the top half of the

sheet to match the costume, it was a perfect match!

So many uses for Smooch Spritz! I love it, I think I might decorate

Christmas ribbon with it too. It was cute because Justice was so impressed.

You can see the matching spooky creases. The photos don't show how

perfect it is but we were running late and out of daylight.

This is my little Gage with his Luigi costume, I made this hat

2 years ago for Halloween when we were all Mario Brothers characters.

Here is the gang, my boys almost grown up! :)

Ok on to the Glue Arts WINNER!

~Old School Crafting- Popple Style~

Hey there crafty friends!

So who remembers the Popples??

A fun 80's cartoon and plush animal that folded into itself, so

cute and made a great baby.

Well my friend has a little 5 year old who's birthday was coming

up and every time I asked her what she wanted she said "A Popple".

I had planned on getting her Hello Kitty scrappy stuff but she wanted a

POPPLE by gah...LOL!

After hunting high and low on eBay and beyond we found one!

Used, but in excellent condition because they have not made them

since 2001 and they were just remakes of the 80's version.

Isn't she cute?

Now the next thing I needed to do was make a special Popple

card or tag....oh no...Cricut does not make a POPPLE cartridge

or an 80's cartoon cartridge either (they really should pssstt Cricut!)

So I printed up 4 of these images from the internet and spent

around 3 hours hand cutting this little Popple.

It's not perfect but I mean it was a for a 5 yr old...how judgmental

could she really be?? LOL Here is the finished card.

I don't think it's too bad for my first hand

cutting paper piecing experience! LOL

The Momenta papers were a perfect combo.

Little Gracie was happy and she brought me her Popple

and a bottle and I fed her baby for a half an hour. It was too cute.

I can't say I will be doing this again for a while....but if by some chance

a random 80's cartoon character is needed for a special little one,

he I won't deny them a special card LOL

I just had to share my crafty weekend, no fancy punches or Cricuts,

just this pink haired mom, a pair of scissors, and some glue! :)

~Round Robin Fun~

Hello Saturday, are you blog hopping today?? :)

A few weeks ago Tally Scrapper had a fun scrap activity called a

"Round Robin"

have you ever done one?? You start with a layout, and send it to one person

via email, they "copy" it with their own version and it goes down the chain.

Here is my end result. I went after Katie.

I have been dying to share this but it is all very hush hush until the end.

The papers and embellishments are from a Tally Swap we did,

my friend Dolores sent me this kit, she made it with odds and ends.

I fell in love with the kit, I love scrapbooking with reds and creams

but rarely purchase them? I don't know why LOL

Oh and this picture if my sweet hubby who spent almost every baseball

game holding his little buddy Payton. Hubs always wanted a little

girl, it was the one thing I was never able to give him.

I find these pictures so endearing.

Love the hubs! :)

Have a wonderful Saturday!

~Fall Baking, Layouts Without People!~

Hey there!

Man- it is definitely feeling fall-ish here in TN, with the wind

and the orange leaves, and of course the ice cold evenings.

I love making layout, in fact it is my first love, of course I am always

making cards and altered art but just for me time I love to make

a layout about my life and how this ordinary country girl lives.

Fall always means the beginning of baking season in the Hobbs home,

which is another love of mine. I love baking everything from cookies,

to banana bread, and even fudge. The boys love it too, so why not scrap it?!

I had these mobile photos I took of the batch of Snickerdoodles I

made last week- and the new paper line from Samantha Walker

called Orchard Harvest, was just perfect for it.

I also used my Purple Cows Craft Geek Tool the PIN IT

it sure adds an elegant touch to your cards and pages, I have had

alot of fun with it, plus it pins anywhere on your page! Yea buddy!!

Plus I used the awesome Glue Glider Pro from Glue Arts

(you know if you go back 2 days I have a GIVEAWAY from them).

I am sure when the boys grow up they will always remember

mom's fall baking and how much food they ate all winter LOL.
