~Brand NEW Release Projects!!~

Good morning my amazingly talented crafty friends!

I am very excited about the new Santa's Little Helper Release

from Imaginisce, it is featured all week on the Imaginisce blog!

I have been waiting to share my projects with you all!!!!!! :)

I am always trying to think outside of the box on the crafts I create

with paper and scrapbooking supplies. With this adorable line it totally

inspired me to make a Christmas Stocking Stuffer, a set of earrings!

These penguins made the perfect earring in my humble opinion.

And the die cut made the perfect card for a stocking!

I used my i-rock to bling it up and I just love them!

What do you think?? Fun right?? And completely made from PAPER! :)

You know they always have giveaways with the new releases, so

be sure to hit up the Imaginisce blog.

If you stop by from me PLEASE tell them I sent ya!

Let them know what you think of my stocking stuffer project,

I always want the special companies I work for to know I am doing my very best!

Happy Wednesday, thanks for popping by~

~Brand New Glam Rocks & Chicken Update *pictures*~

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend.

We had a very busy weekend and I have pictures below, but

first I wanted to share my reveal with the new Glam Rocks from Imaginisce!

They finally have RED!!!!!!!! :) I am so excited!

Red studs which I used here, and new templates too.

I added my older black crystals as well. It was a fun project.

Of course I used my D-Stress on the Clear Scraps acrylic

to make it a permanent adhesive.

But I have to say I love the red! :)

Oh and go check out the blog...they are having GIVEAWAYS with

the new Glam Rocks!

IMAGINISCE BLOG

I also wanted to share the picture of the new chicken pen.

After I went to Kentucky you know hubby bought 8 more chickens

bringing the grand total up to EIGHTEEN! hehe

They needed more room for sure. We just added the "babies" to the mix

yesterday, right after we built this new pen. It is 4 times the size of

the old pen and they are loving it!! It's also right beside my garden.

See how happy they are in the fresh grass?

All the grass in their old pen had died off of course.

Here are 2 of the older babies, the sick chickens that are looking very

healthy and happy now. They were really happy to not be the only

babies in the pen since we put the other 6 in.

They really are spoiled little monsters...these two LOL

We also dug out a 24 foot are for the pool. When I say we, I mean

the boys and hubby dug and I hauled dirt. LOL

Finally complete!! AHHHH...now to add the sand and level it...

Feels like it will never be done. I am thinking maybe we should have

settled for a slip and slide and sprinkler LOL

Ok that's it for me today, I have to take my son tot he DR. we

are pretty sure he broke his hand.

We have to go for X-Rays and see what needs to be done. Looks

like possibly no more baseball for him....*fingers crossed*

he is fine and it's just sprained.

Happy Monday!

~Saturday FULL OF STAMPING FUN!~

Good morning my craft friends!!!

It is finally the weekend!!!!!!!

I had a surprise mailbox full of goodies Thursday/Friday.

On was full of vintage items and Spellbinders from BREE,

and the other package had this SUPER AWESOME STAMP!

How cool is this?? My friend KIM sent it and I just love her and I LOVE my stamp!

KIM Thank you so much!!!!!!! Now all you MO residents...we need to find

scrapbook stores to join up and bring me in to teach for a weekend! :)

That would be so much fun and I could meet all the amazing MO scrappers!

I am so going to use this stamp! I had to sit down right away and

make a card, and you know I don't stamp often...but lately

I find myself stamping more and more! I think if I had more Copics I

would definitely stamp more! Might have to try to find some on sale! :)

On this card I used: Glue Arts 3D Combo Pack

Pink Paislee Hometown Summer

Imaginisce I-rock & Hot Rocks

~Officially A Card Maker Now! *Giveaway*~

Good morning!

I wanted to share a giveaway *QUICK!*

Hurry this morning before they post winner! Imaginisce is having

a huge blow out giveaway and it is 24 hours only and it began yesterday!

They will have winers up on Thursday, it's Copics, Unibind & more Imaginisce.

DO NOT MISS IT!

I almost missed the post because I was gone yesterday with my girlyfriends.

We had lunch and went shopping, it was a lovely day.

It's funny I always thought I would never be a card maker and now I love it,

I even used Copics this week!

I stamped this card with the Imaginisce Garden Party stamp, then I

cut it out and colored it in with my Copics.

I added the studs for more fun, I love spring and spring colors!

I also stamped these tickets with the Imaginisce Animal Crackers

stamp and colored them in with the Copics.

I really am enjoying the card making time. I think it might be a new addiction!

I might just have to start buying more Copics! *gasp* LOL

Tomorrow I have a sneak peek to the Tally Scrapper May Kit,

and of course another project because that's how I roll! :)

I also have a couple amazing GIVEAWAYS coming up!!!!!!

Guess what else?? I am the lucky girl who gets to bring in the

New Year and the new challenge!!!!!! WOOHOO! I love Imaginisce.

was all for the better and honestly, all of you made it happen for me.

Without all your love and support I would not be where I am today.

~Cricut Imagine & Imaginisce Project~

Good morning my crafty friends♥

You know I have been playing with my Cricut Imagine these last

couple weeks, but all the work I have done with it was for DT work.

I have had some requests to do some blog projects with it, so

this week I am trying to focus on my Cricut Imagine work to share

some fun projects that I make with it.

This is the first one, it is a card I made.

The entire background is white paper that I printed and cut

on with the Imagine with the Best Friends cartridge.

The Imagine prints out your project then it cuts it out making your

own customized die cuts. Also you can layer the cut and pop everything

out just like those 3D stickers you buy in the store.

It's a very Cosmo Cricket inspired cartridge and really fun!

I used the new Garden Party die cuts, mesh brad , my irock for the gems and

one of the Imaginisce Roly Poly Posies flower and the new

ibond tool...man that ibond makes those flowers come together quick.

And you know on the twine I used the Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive,

I was worried it would not hold on twine but guess what? It does! YEA!

Every project from 6 months ago has fallen apart so I am extremely thankful

I found Glue Arts!! The entire card was made with the

Extreme Glue and Glue Glider Pro too.

I think I used every tool I have on this card LOL The background piece

is actually a layered piece that had a title, but with the Imagine you can

break up the entire cut into layers OR print it up into one piece.

I chose to only print and first 3 layers and leave the words out.

I am going to tell you I was not sure how I would like it, but I love

how much more artsy the Imagine feels!!! It is more down my alley

and it's so fun to play with. So far I really like it but I only have 2 cartridges,

so we will see as they progress and as I collect more. But I love it!

I am going to TRY to do a video but I am sick right now

and my voice is awful plus I am coughing, so it will have to wait

a couple days, maybe through Christmas :)

Ok I am off to make breakfast, we have a big night of shopping ahead for

Christmas Eve snack night and baking to do for Santa and the boys.

How is your holiday going? Are you ready and done shopping?

Tomorrow I will post some pictures of my tree and the house.

I am done shopping but have a few things to wrap and just the food

left to shop for, so not too bad. I am excited!

~Thanks for stopping by~
~Happy Holidays from my family to yours~

and it;s a fun sketch for sure!

I have so many snow pictures from last year, I am exited to scrap them.

For this project I used the Cottage Christmas line from Imaginisce,

my Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro, and Ribbon Adhesive,

My Cricut Expression and the Winter Frolic Cartridge (Snowflakes)

and my Imaginisce i-rock tool (for the gems)

The sketch was so fun and inspiring, I hope you play along.

~Finally Friday...sweet crafty Friday!~

Good morning my crafty friends,

has everyone been crafty this week?

Yesterday I opened my YUDU and played with it.

I gotta say, I was not excited about it...until I tried it!

I *♥* it! I love it so much! It was so fun.

You will be seeing YuDu projects shortly!

I made another card this morning.

I am trying to get my Christmas cards done by hand this year

which probably won't happen but I can try right?

I grabbed my Cottage Christmas Papers,

some vintage lace, my i-rock, and my Glue Arts Ribbon

Adhesive and Glue Glider Pro and went to town.

So, what do you think? Should I go with mass production?

Or keep trying styles? I am still debating.

Anyways....

I had some awesome news yesterday...

My work for the Provocraft Magazine? The one that is exclusive

for Cricut Circle members? I get to share sneak peeks from now on!

*YEA* I am very excited about this, because those projects I

do not get to share, but they are so fun!

~Hello Thursday-Halloween Album Cover *Nikki Sivils*~

Good morning!

I finally was able to sit down and finish my Halloween album cover.

I made this Nikki Sivils collage layout a couple months ago with

the intent to make an album cover, but it took me this long

to go buy an actual album LOL

Lately I am finding myself heading back to the original trustworthy

glues and sealants as I have had projects falling apart left and right.

*Very embarrassing*

Mod Podge is always 100% dependable for me...I mean hello

I think my mother even used it! LOL

I love the newer Mod Podge that is Shimmer and Glitter.

You can see I tested a shimmer spot, then decided to go with the

gold glitter, I liked the shimmer but thought the gold would

look better with this projects. I love that it not only glues but

also seals in one coat, no gluing then sealing.

First I coated the whole album in glitter Mod Podge,

then I stuck the collage layout down.

After that I coated the entire project in glitter Mod Podge

and set aside to dry.

You can see the glittery goodness, this gold glitter Mod Podge

is very holographic and it rocks! Yes Mod Podge Rocks! LOL

Of course I used my handy dandy i-rock for the gems, I know they will

be on this cover FOREVER! LOL

I am thinking I will customize all my albums now.

Sorry no chicken pictures this morning

(I know they have been requested and I am working on it.)

Today I am helping a friend move, or rather watching the boys

and hubby help them move LOL

My back has been to bad to help, maybe I can bring a meal~

That's all for me today ♥♥

~Thanks for stopping by and chatting at me~

♥Every day I sot down and read every comment♥

~Have an amazing Thursday~

~See y'all tomorrow~

~Making Pop Art & Another Reveal + Winner!!~

Good morning! It is Sunday and we are headed to

the pool this afternoon with the boys, they are so excited!

It is our big stay-cation excursion.

I have been wanting to do a pop art card or

layout for a while now, and I finally sat down yesterday

and played with it a little.

My girlfriend is a coffee LOVER and it's her b-day

so this was perfect!

I used my Wall Decor Cricut Cartridge, my Imaginisce i-rock,

Core'dinations cardstock, Purple Cows trimmer, and my 450 adhesive.

First of all I cut 8 images. 1 in each color, then 1

layer in each color. Then I glued them down to a 4 piece

cardstock card.

It took me about an hour to get it perfect, but I am so

pleased with the results! It was fun and it's perfect

for her style and taste!

Now for one more reveal from the September

kit from SFTIO (Theme- Enlightenment)

Honestly when they sent me the kit I was blown away

it is amazing but when I knew I had to create using the

theme "Enlightenment" I was totally intimidated.

The first person that came to mind was Eminem

because for me, he speaks so much truth and dares to

speak on so many subjects that are 100% taboo,

for me personally, that is "enlightened".

So I took his album cover (of course I had one on hand LOL)

and I used that picture, then I used a Clear Scraps ATC card

I brushed it with my Staz-on INK pad and also stained the letters.

It was very strong graphically so I left it simple.

Actually this is one of my favorite layouts for this kit :)

OK on to the My Mind's Eye Halloween Paper Pack

WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous layout again. Incredible talent. Love your work.
