~Globe Sun Catcher With Sheer Ribbon~

 It's finally Friday- 

what a long week so far, thankful today it's almost over!

We have been fighting for over a year now to get my son

diagnosed and it's been a long battle this week. Anyways...on to 

more pleasant craftiness (what I am best at). 

I created this vintage style globe sun catcher using Ribbons Unlimited

Sheer ribbon- you know I am a new design team member over there

and I honestly LOVE IT! Be sure to check out the instructions 

on their blog and their pages.

I also used Clearsnap copper inks and a Connie Crystal suncatcher.

 I got these dictionary pages from some place and damned if

I can remember the name! It's driving me crazy!

Anyways hope you have a wonderful weekend my friends.

Happy Friday to you all and thank you for stopping by!

~Think Happy Thoughts-Acrylic & Crystal Sun Catcher!~

Happy Friday to my amazing crafty friends,

I created a fun new project to share because I have the privilege

of working with Connie Crystals and amazing crystal company.

And Clear Scraps, a great acrylic company, and of course

The Scraptastic Kit Club (which provided the paper and embellishments)

June 2012 PB&J Kit + Add On

I decided to combine to three for a beautiful sun catcher wall hanging. 

 I started out with the Clear Scraps Scalloped Square Album, I took 

a page from it. Then I scored and cut, and cut...and CUT the middle out! 

LOL It was alot harder them I anticipated, these things are sturdy!

I stapled the Connie Crystal Sun Catcher into place, 

(Mixed Media Octagon Sun Catcher Green- CC Art 1120)

then I added the paper frame from the PB&J kit. 

I also dug out my add-on from last month's kit the Ruby Red 

Liquid Pearls and dotted all over. 

I cannot wait to hang this on my wall, I love the fresh look for summer!

Don't forget to "Like" Connie Crystal on Facebook. 

They will have a new website up soon with full instructions too.
Plus the amazing Scraptastic Kit Club and Clear Scraps, they all are
wonderful companies with purpose.

Happy Friday! :) 

~Saturday giveaway update and bling'in it up with my i-rock!~

Good morning!!!!

Today I am packing but I set this to post
while I was away baking and such.

I REALLY wanted to play more with my i-rock,
so I decided to BLING up my Yellow Box shoes for CHA

They were lime green polka dot with pink and white, which
I liked but they did not match anything I owned LOL
So I decided to BLING them up and make them more
neutral. You should have seen hubby LOL

His exact words were "Oh &^*% she has a be-dazzler!!"
I was cracking up!!!!!!

I also wanted to show you who are headed to CHA
what to look for! :) ME!

I am so excited to meet everyone.

~Playing with my SVG files, Cri-kit Pens, and Helmar V2 *FREE SVG for Pens!*~

Good morning!

Before I start there is a GIVEAWAY on Imaginisce TODAY!
HERE!

OK on to fun stuff
The only project I had time to work on this weekend was this
FUN make your own patterned paper project.
I am going to use this for a special project.
You might recognize the buttery from an earlier FREE SVG file
you can find HERE

I used a plain piece of cardstock (thanks hubby)
You can see it is textured and the Cri-kit Pens (Metallic) worked great on it.
I drew my shape on the paper with my Cricut, keeping the file open
on my SCAL for cutting the same size after.

I took a spare piece of scrapbook paper and cut out the butterfly with my Cricut.
Then I took the Helmar V2 (because it is re positionable) and I sprayed the back of
my cut paper and layed it OVER the cardstock with the drawn butterfly.
Next I took my Smooch Spritz (which totally rocks) and dries quicker than
some sprays, and I sprayed it over the masked cardstock.Looks how shimmery and shiny it is in person! OOooHH AahhhhHH Shiny LOL
I was thinking of making a Red, White & Blue baseball schedule clipboard.

Anyways, these pens are so much fun! I have hundreds of ideas in this crazy head.

Here is a FREE SVG especially made for Cri-Kit Pens!
(Or any pens for your Cricut)
Easy to draw and single lines.
I checked it out myself on paper and it works! :)
Just click the picture to download.

That's it for me today, I am working on a Spring Wreath this week
for Purple Cows and some new Imaginisce projects too!
It is going to be a great week.

We are BBQ-ing hot dogs tonight and the boys are so excited haha

~Have a great Monday~
~THANK YOU every single one of you for stopping by~

Morning all you beautiful crafters, another

beautiful day in Middle Tennessee.
Yesterday's burst of sun really rejuvenated me.
Today the new Challenge for ScrapFit is up and running!

Since this was our last workout as the current DT
Challenge #12 was
Weight Lifting
Pick a LO that another DT member has done in Workouts 1-11 and lift it.
Here is the Layout I "lifted" by the beautiful HeatherI did not want to stray too much from it
so here is my version...I used the January KIT from Timeless Daydreams
I LOVE this kit!
I wish I had been able to photograph this better,
I need tips on photographing blue in the winter with no sun LOL
OK that's it for me today, I need to get to work
it has been a long and productive week! Time to get ready
for some good old fashioned relaxing LOL!

Thanks ScrapFit for having me as a DT, I loved
doing it and am excited to see where you go because I know
it is going to be BIG!

~Have a great Friday y'all!~
~Thanks to every one who stopped by and said hi~

~Scooter's Vacation?! How fun!~

It's a late night post for me, I am gearing up
for tomorrow and the REVEAL for Scrapbooking From The Inside Out!
I have some cool pages to share from that kit...
in the mean time, I have had SO MUCH FUN
playing with the new Imaginisce kit...
SCOOTER'S VACATION!

Now I will be the first to admit I had to reroute my thinking
when it comes to the more themed paper, but
I am so happy I have! I love the fun cute pages I have been creating.
I always have fun pictures I love but they have no particular
emotional heavy meaning, just fun family travel pictures
So this was a great way to scrap the fun stuff!

Everything here except for the Thickers/Jenni Bowlin Title
is the Scooter's Vacation line form Imaginisce! LOVE IT!

I took this picture last fall in TN on the back roads
in Nashville. I love the fall here and taking those back roads
always leave me nostalgic for country drives hubby used to take
me on while I was 9 months pregnant. :)

More news...
I have decided to begin a new challenge blog...
there will be more news to come on this one! :)
I hope you stay tuned!

~Have a great last day of 2009~
~I appreciate every last one of you~
~Pinky~
